Inkspot

inky thoughts in the digital world ...

Here at the Inkspot, I'll be talking a bit about everything paper and IT -- books, media, IP, legal issues, being a consultant, and other odds & ends that strike my fancy.

Some of the subjects I'm likely to talk about:

Anime/Manga

Books (especially ebooks)

Copyright

Linux (as a user, not a programmer!)

Science Fiction

WorldCons (and other opportunities to talk about books)

Food! (one of those odds & ends ...)

Hope you enjoy your visit.

Spelling

Spelling seems to get tougher for people all the time. Especially on the PC. Some applications (your word processors) come with it pre-installed. Other applications, that you love to use don't (and you wished they did!!). There is a solution. Actually 2 of them:



One is freeware, TinySpell, that appears to work just fine. It can be found at: TinySpell



The second is called As-U-Type. It is not free ($49.95), but comes with a trial period. I have it on 2 of my machines and like it because it does more than just spell-check. You get the quick correct feature of a full fledged word processor, and it works on all applications, including web-page forms. Its not clear that TinySpell does. The URL for As-U-Type is: As-U-Type



Enjoy!
