As you'll have noticed, I got a little sidetracked from formatting books for e-readers this weekend. It's been worth it though. For anybody struggling - and this is probably more relevant to Mac users - with the multitude of instructions for the various bookstores, I can thoroughly recommend a free programme called Calibre. It's pretty damn seamless and I've had no problems with it at all. I've put it through its paces to see what it's capable of and it's proving to be quite invaluable. Check it for yourselves. Don't know if it works for people working on a PC and neither do I care. Anyway, all done now, I think. Back to the writing. So having decided I've done quite enough work for one weekend, this evening I was going to go check out the new Daniel Craig spooker called DreamHouse, but checking out some of the reviews online, it got very disappointingly hammered, so instead, I am going to check this out - The Awakening - which as far as I can tell has been universally applauded and yet for some reason, is dropping below the big cinema radar. Maybe that's a good thing.

I've been following the Henry Rollins Drop in the Bucket project Drop in the Bucket recently and feeling like I'm letting the side down. I mean, as the editor of one the biggest circulating magazines in the UK, I feel like we should be able to harness the combined readership into action over something, anything! What I'm struggling with is exactly what to tether that horse to. It has to be something that we can by-pass the system with. What I'd really like is to be able to take whatever money was raised and give it directly to said cause, bypassing all of the expensive admin and actually get something done. It's something that needs some thought though. It's going to have to be something that both myself and everybody else cares about too otherwise it will turn into a dead fish. File under pending for now. Some serious thinking to be done there.
