mmegaeraFirstly, I took the camera to the new park I found the other day, and the results are on my blog: http://mmjustus.wordpress.com. It is absolutely enchanting how much better and faster WordPress works with IE10 than it did with either IE8 or Firefox.
Secondly, I had an 1800+ word day today. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I've written that many words of fiction in one day. I may finish this damned book yet. In the throes of the climax, actually, which isn't turning out quite as expected. Which prompts me to ask, so what else is new???
Oh, and I have three Windows 8 questions.
1) Does anyone know how to set the Windows 8 version of Live Mail (as opposed to just Mail, which is an entirely different program) to empty the deleted messages folders (yes, in the plural - don't ask) when I close the program?
2) Does anyone know how to turn the spell check off in IE10? Spell check is an abomination and we hates it, we do. Besides, a spell check in a web browser is just weird. Er, never mind, I guess I already asked this, but I'll leave it here, anyway. I should say that, yes, I've seen the directions that say, go to the Tools menu on the taskbar and click Manage Add-Ons, then click Spelling. That would work very well, except there is no Spelling option under Manage Add-Ons.
3) It appears that you cannot download apps from the app store at the start screen and then install them on your desktop taskbar. This I do find annoying (about the only thing I've found annoying so far, unless you count that expletive-deleted IE10 spellchucker), only because I would like to be able to toggle between Spider Solitaire and other programs on my desktop. Anybody have an idea for a work around? Like maybe where a good place is to download a desktop version of Spider Solitaire? I googled, but there are literally dozens, and I don't know which sites are trustworthy and which will attach nasty spyware to my simple little solitaire game.
