Here It Is...

Handwavium PDF.pdf

The steps to download are as follows...

1:- Follow the link.

2:- Select option 2 (Use File Factory Basic)

3:- Enter the verification code

4:- Download and (hopefully) enjoy.

My verification code was suspiciously close to a swear word, but this could be a statistical anomaly based on random letter configurations. I hope so, I don't want to offend people before they've read my stuff. I'm hoping to save that for after they've read it!

A New Potential File Host

I seem to have found a file host that may be suitable to my needs, so I'll be posting the sharing URL in a few minutes. From what I can gather from the t&c's on the site itself downloaders will be subjected to a short advert before being re-directed to the download. The content of these adverts isn't specified, but Web Of Trust gives the site a good rating so hopefully there won't be anything inappropriate in the ads, however if it turns out that there is, just say so in the comments and I will immediately look for an alternative host.

By the way the article I'll be posting consists of me waffling about writing science fiction. This doesn't mean I'll be posting science fiction stories, although I reserve the right to do so, just that I've been thinking about potential problems if I ever write one. The article is also very short, more of potential blog post that I wrote to myself before I had actually considered starting a blog. If all goes well the first proper story will go up later tonight, or early tomorrow morning.

The Death Of Links

That didn't go too well now did it? The links have now been broken, since google docs doesn't seem too appropiate to my particular needs right now. I'm going to have to find a different (free) file host. Preferably one that saves formatting.

Short Article-Update

One brief look was all I needed. Googledocs doesn't translate the formatting of .odt files turning the whole thing into one long, rambling stream of consciousness. That is what the article actually contains but I want it to look a little more sleek than that. I'll try exporting as a PDF and then upping that.

Short Article

As promised, the short article as a test for google docs ability to do what I want it to can be found here
