What is your user for the website?  I want to add you as a writing buddy.

I think I've found a site that will work.  The only thing is that I'll have to make the graph each time.

It's at http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/447071

And augh, that's a pain. Times like this I wish I knew more of computer programming than "if ... else".  Some of my friends could probably whip up one  of those things that updated itself, easy.

That would be tons easier.  I used to know Java well enough to do it, but I fell out of pratice.  Are you willing to see if any of them can come up with something?

Heh. I don't actually expect to talk to either of my programmer friends until January when school starts up again, so...  (One lives in another city, and one I just ... never see...)

Hm.  Well, I have a few programmer friends myself, so I'll bug them.

Sweet.  Well, I'll ask my friends, and if they can't get anything we'll go with that.

I'll add you.  If either of you wants to add me, I'm at http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/434598

It's too bad we couldn't just make a post we could all edit. I mean, graphs are nice but I think even seeing all our word counts in one place would be pretty effective.

I mean, Rose, you could just edit your original post, except it'd be a pain in the butt to have to do that for all three of us...

I wouldn't mind actaully.  That seems simple enough to me.  That way if it takes a while to get the graph we could still see the numbers.

Haha, okay. Yeah, it's definitely the simplest approach. Just would be more efficient, and probably a bit more accurate, if we could each do our own. XD

So just post it, and I'll change the main page when you do.  That way we can look back and see who did how much each day, as well as see the over all totals.

Sounds good. You might want to write that into the first post too. That way anyone who wants to join us doesn't have to fish through the thread to see how it works.

I know this is a tiny amount, but it gives me something. 131 words. I would write more, but I'm tired, and I need to get some sleep....
