Back Blogging!

Once again, it's been a while since I last posted anything; mainly because my PC has been on the fritz, and so I haven't really bothered. However, I recently bought a little keyboard to go with my Nexus (see my Facebook page), which will make life a lot easier once I've got used to its small size and US layout. I used to touch-type on my old Psion Series 5, and the keyboard on that was a lot smaller and much less responsive and than this one, so I shouldn't have too much difficulty adapting.

I'm using the Blogger app on my Nexus 7 to write this, which is a lot better than it used to be. Prior to acquiring the bluetooth keyboard I'm using for this, I had installed TouchPal's alternative on-screen keyboard, which learned from your typing better than the standard one. That works very well for short data entry sessions, but you can't beat a proper physical keyboard.

I really wanted to start writing again, and express myself about the things that get me going. As ever, I will probably bang on about Formula 1, motorsport generally, politics, disability, technology, and so on. I also hope to write about my accident and recovery. I think it will help me if I look back and get it all down in written form, and maybe putting it in a blog will help people that know me to understand who I have become; and maybe others who are going through something similar, but who are less far down the line will benefit.

I'm going to break now, and pick up on this later, picking one of these topics to have a go at. Maybe not the accident and recovery thing just yet: not till I've got more used to this keyboard ...
