alexpgpFor the past hour, my computer has cooperated to a surprising extent, which has not prevented me from reinforcing the habit of saving my work every minute or so. I also broke through a turgid section of text that had gone into berserk details regarding the structure of the Tu-160 strategic bomber's airframe, and am now waltzing - relatively speaking - through a section on the airplane's power plant (NK-35 engines, yada-yada-etc.).
After having experienced numerous software crashes over the past few days, I'd noticed (or imagined) that one of the factors that "encourages" Word to crash is doing a word count. In the fine tradition of software nerds everywhere, I therefore started avoiding doing word counts (which may account for the sudden "cooperation," but then again, I may be wrong). I did one a few minutes ago, though, after saving my work for the night. It turns out I have 887 words left of electronic text, which is just peachy.
Off to freshen up for the upcoming "day" of work, which starts in... just under two hours.
Cheers...
