I use none of the above. Wordpress was so confusing I couldn't even get a blog set up with it. Although I might be able to set a blog up with Blogger, its CAPTCHA system means that I would struggle to comment on it, let alone post entries, unless ...

The forums are quiet because NaBloPoMo is not a year-round activity... it was originally done for one month. It has never been as popular as the first year it ran, and suffers from people doing it once, and never returning. At the moment, I'm gues...

Yea, autumn is more serious blogging season. I'm looking forward to it getting busy, but I also like the quieter atmosphere to ease into after a while of not blogging. It means I actually stand a chance of looking through all the blogs on the blog...

Oh it will! Once October hits, people really start talking about signing up, why they're doing it, what happened last year, etc. I'm sure there will be a flurry of people here again by then.

Fair enough, QuirkyJessi. That would make sense. Here's to a speeding-up of the forums when autumn approaches, then! :)

Well the real "NaBloPoMo" is only November and this is the first year that there have been monthly topics for people to continuing blogging daily about. A lot of people probably just lost momentum and with summer here, fewer and fewer people seem ...

About Me:
I have been blogging about Formula 1 and related stuff since last August 2006. Outside the internet world, I am a wannabe librarian from Derbyshire (a county in the middle of the United Kingdom). My first NaBloPoMo was November 2007 and it was a success. I've done the March, May and September 2008 MiNaBloPoMos, and am about to embark on the December 2008 MiNoBloPoMo, having nearly finished the 2008 NaBloPoMo.

Thanks for Luca di Montezemelo

I am getting slightly worried. I've caught myself agreeing with the boss of Ferrari twice in one week. First there was the comment about [url=http://www.planet-f1.com/story/0,18954,3213_4663201,00.html]the financial balances within the sport being wrong[/url] and now he's called for [url=http://www.planet-f1.com/story/0,18954,3213_4705924,00.html]track selection to be based on overtaking[/url] rather than whether it resembles Monte Carlo (which appears to be the latest revenue-generating fad).… Continue

NaNoWriMo Update - 53129 words

There doesn't appear to be much to write about in the F1 world, so I'm going to devote this entry to a NaNoWriMo update.

This morning, I woke up thinking that I was going to need a massive typing marathon in order to finish the 50,000-word challenge. This is because my computer had only got 32463 words on it at the time.

However, I had a secret weapon. My PDA held another copy of the story, which hadn't communicated with the desktop computer (except to be charged) since Thursday morning. Since… Continue

Ferrari Taxi



Following on from McLaren's example, Ferrari might well come up with the above space taxi service.

Logic Failure

Max Mosley, president of the FIA, has a peculiar talent for putting his foot in his mouth. I was forcefully reminded of this in a pair of comments he made this morning. He wants standard engines (as well as standard gearboxes and suspensions) - but refuses to consider a standard KERS device. So far, so standard Mosley (in terms of strange thinking, though the standardisation he desires is more extreme t… Continue

I left a comment back for you then realised I should probably have posted it here!

Yes I do think Lewis will do well next year. He certainly has made F1 seem more interesting than ever. I didn't used to take any notice of it till he came along.

By the way, good luck with NaBloPoMo. I'm sure you won't need it though as you seem to have plenty to say.

You joined for the same reason as me, to help refine your technique.

hmm. well for me, I need all the help I can get! lol.

best wishes

Thanks for the comments on my page. :)

So what do you think about Lewis Hamilton moving to the tax exile that is Switzerland?

I don't follow F1 as a rule, but this year was more exiting than most! :)

You're very welcome, Sarah. It's always good to meet people who believe in using their time productively.

Thank you for your kind words about me being crazy -- you are right. We all get the same amount of time, and we should do our best with it. Thank you. (-:
