I did a little more work on the writing app; it's coming along nicely. I've tweaked the appearance of the customisable keybar. It's not there yet, but it's getting closer.
I find this app really handy, and given the feedback I've had I'll likely release it on the App Store at a sensible price before long. The feature-set is deliberately bare-bones and lightweight, and aimed at people who just want to write. I use it for article drafts, topic-specific notes, software requirements/specifications, project plans, documentation, fiction, and that kind of thing. Here's what it does:
- Add, rearrange and delete any number of plain-text documents. Automatic live-updated titles based on the first line of the document.
- Customisable keybar. Each key can insert text of your choice, and can optionally wrap the selection (if any) in two instances of the text. That's handy for _underscoring_ or "quoting" or such. There are also a few special-case keys you can create, like Undo/Redo.
- Live async word-count, which can be tapped to toggle it between word and character count (including spaces etc).
- Autosave every 30 seconds, when switching documents, when quitting, and explicitly when tapping a document's title in the sidebar. You should never need to worry about saving.
- Choice of font/size for the writing area (one font/size for the whole thing; it's fundamentally a plain-text editor and always will be).
- Markdown support: integrated HTML preview (via the "Discount" Markdown library and based on Geoff Pado's "Jotdown" project), and built-in syntax reference.
- Copy document as plain text or as Markdown-transformed HTML.
- Export (for sync via iTunes) or email document as plain text, Markdown-transformed HTML, or PDF.
- (Planned) Simplenote sync.
That's the entire app. It's lean, focused, and lets me get thoughts, notes and stories onto the iPad quickly and with a minimum of fuss. If you're looking for a word processor, document management, lots of metadata or such, you're definitely in the wrong place.
If, on the other hand, you want to get thoughts into electronic format rapidly and conveniently wherever you are, you might want to give it a try. I'll be posting updates on Twitter (I'm mattgemmell) as I move forward.
If you have a good suggestion for the app's name (shouldn't be any longer than about 12 characters, due to the way iPad shows app names on the Home screen), let me know. I'll put your name in the credits and send you a promo code for the app if I pick yours.
So I´ve been struggling with a bit of writer´s block. I knew where I wanted the story to go up until now. So far I had no idea how to continue it and feeling obligated to finish it didn´t help at all… Being swamped with work didn´t help either. So I took some time away from my Twisted Tales. During my summer break I suddenly knew where I wanted the story to go. However there still is room for alterations. So where would you like to see the story go?
Me gusta su voz...cautivadora, y como habla con las manos, es incapaz de mantenerlas quietas, pero sobretodo me gusta su sentido del humor, realmente me sorprendió

Writer is a synthesis project in three images. The images are combined by the form and metaphor that I found reading the poetry collection "Zucchero di canna" (Cicorivolta editions) written by the model for a day and a poet, Claudio Landi.

Spanish postcard by Ediciones Raker, Barcelona, no. 1032.
Spanish actor and writer José Campos (1936-2010) was promoted as the Spanish James Dean. He was known for such films as La cripta e l'incubo/Crypt of the Vampire (1964), the historical TV series Diego de Acevedo (1966) and Vivir a mil/Living at a thousand (1976), which he also directed. Despite the high expectations at the start of his career, his films were of very little importance
José Campos was born José Antonio Campos Boloix in 1936 in Granada, Andalucia. He studied acting at the I.I.E.C., and then made his film debut, benefiting from a certain physical resemblance to the then-recently deceased James Dean. He was given one of the most spectacular publicity campaigns in the history of Spanish cinema. For his first film, Llama un tal Esteban (Pedro L. RamÃrez, 1959), the publicity read: "José Campos is a true star of today's cinema, who will mark an epoch and define a school of acting in world cinema". However, the professional career of José Campos in no way corresponded to such optimistic perspectives. He developed his film activity mainly in Barcelona in films produced by Ignacio F. Iquino or the brothers Alfonso Balcázar and Jaime Jesús Balcázar. In the early 1960s, he starred in such Spanish light entertainment films as Solteros de verano/Summer bachelors (Alfonso Balcázar, 1962) and Los castigadores/The punishers (Alfonso Balcázar, 1962). He played a juvenile delinquent in Los desamparados/The Homeless (Antonio Santillán, 1962). He co-starred with Rafael Bardem in La alternativa/The alternative (José MarÃa Nunes, 1963). For this film, he also wrote the story.
In Italy, José Campos appeared in the horror film La cripta e l'incubo/Crypt of the Vampire (Camillo Mastrocinque, 1964) starring Christopher Lee. Though only superficially faithful to Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's famous novella, 'Carmilla', the film was praised for its consistent visual distinction and unity of mood. Ma Cortes at IMDb: "A scary and ghastly film with a lot of thrills, chills, and ominous bloodsuckers. Interesting screenplay full of twists and turns." He appeared in an episode of the popular historical series Diego de Acevedo (Ricardo Blasco, 1966) about Spain during the 19th century. He also appeared in the crime films Yo no soy un asesino/I am not a murderer (José MarÃa Zabalza, 1968) and Homicidios en Chicago/Homicides in Chicago (José MarÃa Zabalza, 1969). After a long interval, José Campos returned to the screen with Vivir a mil/Living at a thousand (1976), which he both wrote and directed and which starred his son, Juan Carlos Campos. He then acted in the Spanish comedy Visanteta, estáte quieta/Visanteta, be quiet (Vicente Escrivá, 1979) starring Maria Rosaria Omaggio. He only played a supporting part, credited as Josep Campos. He had an even smaller, uncredited part in the sex comedy Consultorio sexológico/Sex Clinic (José Antonio Villalba, 1980). His final film was the thriller El enigma del yate/The enigma of the yacht (Carlos Aured, 1983). José Campos died in 2010 in Madrid, Spain. He was 76. His daughter is Marie Cozannet, who also works in the film industry.

Graffiti writer, Step in the Arena, Eindhoven, Netherlands, 2016
On Saturday the 4th of June 2016 I went to the 6th version of the graffiti festival Step in the Arena in Eindhoven. On this graffiti festival I spotted this graffiti writer. I asked him, if I may make a pictures of him, and he agreed on it. I didn’t ask this stranger for his name this time.
Thanks for posing!

I asked her to hang up her laundry. Then I came to check her progress and she had done none of it, but was writing a story instead. I could hardly be annoyed ;)

The writer, hard at work composing at the Underwood Portable typewriter. Tortured and intensely focused, she carries on.
I conceived of this shot at around 7:15 am as I lay in bed, not sleeping and not quite awake yet. Several hours later, we turned the dining room into a photo studio and made this image.

The Radical Writer.
Sitting at the desk,
ideas popping off,
as if fireworks,
the officials shall go ballistic,
when they read these words,
he cares not,
for his life,
only the messages,
he throws out there,
they may kill him,
before night fall,
but they can't kill his words,
and the people,
that become inspired my his message.
Steve.D.Hammond.
