I am once again set up on a tablet, ready to start posting. Something usually goes wrong, so let’s see how long it takes. The new keyboard feels nice. The screen looks satisfactory. While thi snew tablet is not perfect, it seems decent enough. Previous tablets had the optional keyboard that no matter what, seemed to shrink, making it difficult for the pins to connect and input from the keyboard to the tablet.
And then there is the me, issue. The last tablet I had went away just down the road, after I drove off with it on the side of the truck bed. I went back and found it again. It had been smashed! That’ll happen after some six hours of laying in the road, though.
The real test of if the tablet is going to be good enouhg to do whatI want it to do is if I can post a blog post with a photo included, no fuss, just shoot while I am posting.

Well, there it is! A photo I just took! Now all I really need this thing to do is keep working! Do that, and we will become old friends, dear tablet!
One thing I really miss is a decent offline blog editor. There used to be one in Windows Live Writer, then Oopen Live Writer. But it is not well supported, and it does not download and use the blog’s formatting like it once did, allowing the user to see exactly what they were going to get while writing and editing, and before uploading! Those days are long behind us! Now one has got to be online while writing, so for me, I have to be in range of a WiFi point. I muched preferred to be able to go on the road, say on my bike, and make a post at a rest stop, then upload it after a final edit at home.
Time will tell how it all goes. You will know without me even saying, as I will no doubt update more, and the updates will include more photos. Give me a half way decent tablet, and I will give you a more active, also half way decent blog.
