Using the native RSS reader in Opera 9.5** I came across a reference to Evernote. I had looked at earlier in beta and found no use for it then. Reading the blog entry in RSS, it sounded as if the program, as well as its interaction with its online base, has become more mature, sophisticated and thereby useful. 
It is now integrated in my computer use, along with Texter and Spell Catcher Plus. While exploring the RSS feeds further, in the blogs about AIR applications, I came across a reference to TweetDeck.
This was another case of not being initially impressed but, through prodding and discovery, found many new and useful features. It would take an entire blog entry to extol its many wonderful features. Perhaps tomorrow.
What stood out the most was the ever changing cloud of Twitter word usage in TwitScoop. Wanting to share how this looked with the rest of the world, I copied it to Evernote, created a public “book” and pasted a freeze-frame of the word cloud here.

In between all of this I finally managed to finish William Russell’s first hand account of the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857-58 and the consequences of the British reprisal/revenge. He was nearly killed during the Siege of Lucknow.
Tomorrow I pick him up at the beginning of the American Civil War. He goes to Washington and is introduced to Lincoln by Secretary Seward. What drama is about to unfold!
