Stephen Fry said what?

I've been listening to blues music today as it felt right to do so - the music did fill me with a little more sadness than usual, but I'm trying to stay positive in the light of my girlfriends departure. She hasn't technically left as yet, as there is a week of 'thinking time' in progress, but I think it's more of a buffer zone to reduce the tearage on my part...

As regard to writing, I've spent the day (other than diligently working at my desk) reading Stephen Fry's blog, to see if I can pick up on any tips on how to write one - I need followers apparently; he has thousands, tens of thousands even, but then he is Stephen Fry. I'll wager a good percentage of them of technophiles, or applephiles, or some other group that worships a good solid firewire connection. He was momentarily talking, or 'twittering' about Vista on a Sony laptop, before he threw it out of a hotel window into the wasteland of New Zealand or jungles of the Amazon or wherever he is this week.

I've also been looking at screenwriting structure software, Contour, from Mariner software, which was recently released into the wild. I've considered the theory, posed a thoughtful question regarding the restrictive nature of the software on the Mariner forum, and have just read the reply from the man who came up with the concept, Jeff Schechter. It was a long response, which basically said I was fool to right an original, imaginative and challenging script, until I was successful enough to stamp my foot like a child when someone doesn't bring me a frothy latte. He's almost certainly right, but I'm planning a riposte, as he was so flattering about my good question.

And to misquote Stephen Fry...iphone's are beautiful chunks of splendidness.
