When it comes to going off the laptop and onto mobile devices, writing and putting together a novel can be a little tricky when it comes time to synchronise the content. The ability to export all your stuff back to laptop mode is the functionality you want.
Note-taking and writing platforms have been already covered here:
Below are the most useful apps available for Android and Apple for structuring and planning out your story.
Pluot
Pluot is purely a character and story planning app for writers.
It allows you to build plot scenes which you can reorder through drag-and-drop, develop characters with profiles and attributes, create locations, construct plotlines and link them up, and add images.
And once you’re ready to write you can export your outlines to text files.
Novelist
Novelist is a writing assistant that will help plan out your novel from a nascent stage into a published book. I give you the ability to brainstorm, add research, develop characters, and outline every aspect of the story.
It’s even got a web interface application that can help you stay on the platform and continue writing multiple drafts till the finished book.
Most important of all, you can export to epub, odt, and HTML.
Wavemaker
Web-browser based Wavemaker runs on virtually anything. It works offline or it can be installed and run on any device, allowing you to sync your devices up using google drive.
You can plan and structure your book into chapters, scenes, and make notes.
Export as Word (DocX)
There a planning board and data base function as well as a snowflake tool.
Export as HTM (.html) for sharing to the web, creating e-book or for openning with Word.
Export is also avdilable for Markdown (.md), Word (.docx), ePub (.epub) and Rich Text Format (.rtf)
All three are practical enough to get your project fleshed out from idea to complete novel, and if you want to move to a fifteenth platform they each have yhst all important export facility.
It is likely that the future will see the emergence of multiple internet protocol platforms. The current internet has already evolved significantly since its inception, and we can expect further advancements and diversification in the way of new internets with protocols that are developed unilaterally and implemented.
As demand for better security and functionality grows, new internet platforms will continue to evolve, ias different protocols and infrastructure will compete to address specific needs or cater to different use cases. This diversity could lead to a more adaptable and resilient internet infrastructure, offering enhanced security, performance, and functionality for various applications and devices.
THE COBWEB
This old internet that we are currently using is a dysfunctional mess that has been held together by various patches and updates over the years. Despite being a vital part of our daily lives, it is plagued by numerous issues such as slow loading times, security vulnerabilities, and rampant misinformation. Since its inception in the twentieth century, this outdated and clunky internet still exists, but it will be viewed as an antiquated relic of the past. No one in their right mind would choose to use it when faster, safer, and more efficient alternatives are readily available.
SATNET
Meganat‘s private internet, which was designed and deployed by Jim Dochersky, is a revolutionary service that utilises low-earth-orbit satellites to connect paying customers. This technology allows for unprecedented speed and reliability, making it an ideal solution for individuals and businesses that require high-speed internet access in remote areas or regions with limited infrastructure.
Unlike traditional internet providers, Meganat’s private internet is not dependent on terrestrial infrastructure, which can often be costly and difficult to maintain. Instead, the service uses a network of satellites to deliver high-speed internet directly to customers’ homes or offices. This means that even those living in rural areas or regions with limited infrastructure can enjoy fast and reliable internet access, making it easier to work, study, and stay connected with friends and family.
The low-earth-orbit satellites used by Meganat’s private internet are positioned much closer to the earth than traditional satellites, which makes them faster and more efficient. This means that customers can enjoy faster download and upload speeds, as well as a more stable connection, even during peak usage times. Meganat’s private internet is a game-changer for those who require high-speed internet access in remote areas or regions with limited infrastructure. With its innovative use of low-earth-orbit satellites, the service provides fast and reliable internet access that is unmatched by traditional providers.
AMBERCAST
This closed Wide-Area Network (WAN) is a highly secure and private internet network that is exclusively used by governments and corporations for their internal communication needs. This network is designed to provide a high level of security and privacy to ensure that sensitive information and data are not leaked or compromised in any way. One of the key features of a closed WAN is that it is a closed system that is not connected to any public internet and every user is authenticated. This means that it is not accessible to the general public, and only authorized personnel within the government or corporation or domestic premises can access it. This ensures that the network is not vulnerable to external threats such as cyber-attacks, which are becoming increasingly common in today’s quantum age.
Ambercast is also designed to be highly scalable, meaning that it can handle large volumes of data traffic with ease. This is essential for governments and corporations that need to transfer large amounts of data quickly and efficiently. A closed private WAN is an essential tool for any government or corporation that needs to communicate sensitive information and data securely and privately. It is the first line of defence against external threats and provides a reliable and efficient means of communication within the organization.
EPISOFT
A peer-to-peer, NearMe-Area-Network is a cutting-edge technology that enables seamless communication between devices in close proximity. This open internet technology utilizes handsets that act as relay mesh stations for communication traffic, allowing for the creation of a highly efficient network that can transmit data at lightning-fast speeds. The beauty of this technology lies in its ability to harness the power of nearby devices to enhance network coverage and speed. The more devices in the vicinity, the faster and deeper the coverage, making it an ideal solution for densely populated areas such as cities.
This technology is particularly useful in situations where traditional network infrastructure is unavailable or unreliable. For example, in the aftermath of a natural disaster or during a large-scale event, communication networks may become overwhelmed or even fail completely. In these situations, a peer-to-peer, NearMe-Area-Network can provide a reliable means of communication, allowing people to stay connected even when traditional networks are down.
One of the greatest benefits of this technology is that it is highly scalable. As more devices are added to the network, the coverage and speed of communication increase proportionally. This makes it an ideal solution for businesses or organizations that require a flexible and adaptable communication system. Episoft represents a significant step forward in the world of communication technology. Its ability to provide reliable, high-speed communication in even the most challenging environments makes it a valuable tool for anyone looking to stay connected in an increasingly connected world.
ANGRY TREE
This skilled hacker has a unique way of navigating the internet. They have mastered the art of using internet funnels, which allows them to navigate through existing communication networks seamlessly. By employing a sophisticated dryware system, they are able to create multiple branches between different communication networks, making it easier for them to access the information they need.
The use of dryware technology is crucial to this hacker’s success. It allows them to create a virtual web of connections that can quickly and efficiently link different networks together. This technology is also highly secure, ensuring that the hacker’s identity and location remain hidden at all times. The branches created by hackers between different communication networks establish connections between disparate systems, allowing them to access information that would otherwise be difficult to obtain. This is particularly useful when the hacker is trying to gain access to sensitive information, such as financial data or classified government documents.
Despite the challenges posed by the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, The Agree Tree remains at the forefront of pirate and free access to information. Their ability to create complex networks of communication channels and navigate through them with ease is truly remarkable. With the continued development of dryware technology and other advanced tools, hackers are sure to remain a force to be reckoned with in the world of cybersecurity.
Halfway through 2011, I came across the phenomenon of Bitcoin, and my head went into a tailspin. This was a revolution. I felt it in my bones. But I was reluctant to buy in and profit from it. At the time, it had the aura of an elaborate, hi-tech scam. The ultimate in electronic pyramid schemes. And the amount of hacking going on against the Bitcoin exchanges (run from servers in people’s garages) didn’t help things either. I felt it was never intended as an alternative currency. Who in their right mind would trade commodities online or shop with them?
Sure, it (kind of) bypassed third parties and fees, and it seemed easy to use. But once you send off a bitcoin to some address that is it. It’s irreversible. There is no redress. Online fraud using bitcoins leaves no paper trail to physically follow. Although there is an electronic trail, how does one place trust in such a new system?
Hector the Toad: “You want to give me the bitcoins, or do I kill your brother first, before I kill you?” Tony Montana: “This focking blockchain is 1.5 focking gigabytes. So why don’t you try sticking your head up your ass? See if it fits.” Hector the Toad: “Okay, Caracicatriz. You can die too. It makes no difference to me.”
Even drug dealers would be hesitant to use this nascent technology. Imagine Tony Montana rocking up to a meeting with the Colombians with a laptop.
Then imagine him having to wait for the transactions to be confirmed. Chain saws. Fun and games. Even gangsters rely on strong banking institutions to keep their wealth safe. And even then these same institutions are prone to nationalisation, or bankruptcy.
This technology has yet to find a proper use, yet punters poured millions of dollars into the “early adopters” pockets. Go to their forums and you’ll find rampant spruiking and fever-pitch excitement each time some Gordon Gekko forks out money to buy these things. Try being negative on these forums and they ignore you, or you get labelled a troll.
This is the mindset I used not to go diving in.
If it feels like a scam or Ponzi racket. It probably is. Why? Because the market is a mechanism for people to store value and generate income. In theory anyway. Speculators using the market as the ultimate roulette table may in fact be a healthy thing for a market, guiding investors to where to park their capital. Bitcoins don’t have intrinsic value. They don’t earn anything, and by the time they become useful in the mainstream economy as a currency, the game will have changed. Traded solely for profiteering on people’s greed and fear, nothing influences the value of Bitcoin except speculation (and hackers). At best, this is a form of gambling. Add early adopters to the mix, and you get the perfect pyramid scheme. So if it’s too good to be true, it is.
Bitcoin is also a technology that can be easily duplicated. It can be modified and developed, rendering the original blockchain, redundant.
Power rests with those who control the client software protocol. So you’re in fact swapping Bankers for Programmers.
Hackers. The digital wallets where the value is stored are so easy to lose, destroy or steal. One lapse of personal electronic security and your wallet is gone. One hard drive failure, one catastrophic digital error (i.e. caused by an index finger on the return key) and the bitcoins are gone.
On the plus side.
Bitcoins are a good way for kids to learn about trading on the market.
The potential for investment in new technology. Potential, since, apart from the exchanges popping up everywhere, there has not been significant investment in anything else. I’d rather invest in a start-up that is actually building a way to make cryptonium useful than speculate on the gambling habits of other speculators.
That was then. The case remains the same today. I see nothing has changed.
The current problem we have with fiat money is hoarding. Existing in a dual state, as a medium of exchange as well as a store of value, fiat currencies are vulnerable to hoarding, which starves the lifeblood out of economies. (which is another story.) Yet fiats are trusted by citizens (or forced upon them, since governments don’t give anyone much of a choice) and are at least designed to “stabilise” economies, Keynesian style. What are bitcoins designed to do? They are perfect for hoarding! They are easier to hoard than fiat cash or gold. At best, P2P crypto-currencies are designed to rob governments of their ability to collect taxes, so no hospitals, roads, and God forbid, no social security. Perhaps governments will find a way to get the early adopters will pay for such things. Fiat currencies are also backed by governments, by law or by force. What will back bitcoins when early adopters decide to cash in, flood the bitcoin casinos and send those Gekko’s screaming for the door? As long as Bitcoins remain deflationary they will be hoarded more zealously than gold or government bonds.
The Future of Cryptocurrency
Right now it’s all about fooling enough punters to part with their fiat cash so it can be redistributed to some other punter. In the future, the technology behind these crypto-currencies will eventually find a way to complement society. Key factor. The technology can be duplicated. e.g. Litecoin, Namecoin, Ixcoin. ppcoin. All corporations have to do is start their own blockchains. e.g. Google Money. Facecoin. Retailers could convert their own rewards and loyalty programs into tailor-made cryptocurrencies. Music and movie corporations could use the same peer-to-peer technology that nearly wiped them out, to create a system of distribution using cryptocurrencies. Sonycoin. Applecash, AmazonDollars. Hell, even governments could start their own bond market and social security blockchain. UScoin, Auscoin. Eurocoin.
In fact, there is no doubt in my mind this will happen. It may be too late to profit from Bitcoin right now, (since I missed out on buying them at 5 cents), but expecting Bitcoin’s value to hit a million dollars per unit is tuliptistic. Once cryptonium currencies enter the mainstream economy in numerous manifestations this whole argument will become trivial. And even then, once quantum computing hits the scene, everything we understand today will become anecdotal. Unless cryptographic hash functions become so large and complex, they start grinding down machines running at light speed, since the speed of light is indeed finite and numbers are… well, infinite.
