This is a odd way to write a blog post. I’m not connected to the internet at all right now, and I’m just writing this post on TextEdit. I’m going to just copy and paste this text as my blog for today. This saves me from taking a internet connection, that would definitely distract me while writing something like this. I’m going to make connection to the internet today, but I know that once I start it’s just so hard to stop. So I think that everyone understands why I’m doing it this way.
Just another notice. Macs TextEdit doesn’t have something that would count the number of words. This seems really kinda odd, because the program itself is quite wide and that is something that you’d expect to find from such programs. It isn’t really that big deal, but you just think that you would know how some programs work, but I think that in this I hoped to know what I’m using. Luckily there was another way to quite easily find this information. I have a file called blog.txt on my Desktop and all I need to do there is to type ‘cat blog.txt | wc’ to the command line. This pastes the contents of the file to the command line window and lets you see the amount of characters and words in the text. You can find more details about this by typing ‘man wc’.
At the moment this seems to have a little over 200 words. I just still can’t believe that TextEdit wouldn’t have something build in it that would give you the contents that you want to have. I have been really surprised for how well it can handle for example some small things like viewing HTML files, both in final form and in plain text. (on a side note I seem to be making a huge amount of typos right at the moment)
I have gotten the book that I’m currently reading almost finished now. It just seems a little funny because the book has so many pages that now it’s almost over. I found it really enjoyable to once more go through David Eddings text and to recognise the familiar characters and so on in slightly different book. I have already mentioned that I have read a great deal of this authors books and they were really important part of me being a teenager.
I have gotten some of our home cleaned now and I’m thinking that I might get the rest cleaned today. I really don’t even know if I want to do that, but it’s just nice to think that it’s a possibility. Another thing that I have been thinking about are these blog posts. 500 words is quite a small amount when you really start to think about it. It’s just a flash and then it’s done. The another thing though is that I more or less always end up writing a lot of useless stuff as some fillers to get past the 500 words. So I’m just thinking that is it a good idea to keep the amount of words this low or is it something that I should increase. I don’t really have a valid opinion to this myself. Or if you can even use the word valid here. But if you would like to make a good blog it might just be 200 words a day, but the contents would be of good quality. Then on other hand would that 200 words help me to become faster writer? I know that my skills could be a lot better, but I don’t know where you should draw the line. I think that my writing speed is quite valid except that I have weird caps between the words. (please don’t think duuh they are spaces) What I mean is that I really slow down my writing once one word is finished. It could of course be that I just try to think of the next word, but it seems to happen with programming too and many other things as well. I think that I’m really a lot faster than just few years ago, but I do still think that I could be a lot faster. The thing might be that most people can only write a little slower than they think. So it might have something to do with the speed of my fingers(which most likely is the problem) or it just might have something to do with my thinking.

I wrote this in morning and I can’t bother to add the word of the day today. Sorry.
