Highlights from yesterday: after
playing around with creating channels on AvantGo (first Yahoo! horoscope, then
Village Voice), I tried my hand at getting something useful from Der Spiegel.
The site's home page contains so much information that success seemed
impossible, until I suddenly noticed a PDA-version advertised in a little blurb
off to the side. Well! Her damit! It's very well done,
easy to install, and now I'm enjoying a ton of articles in German, which, to my
great surprise, kann ich noch doch sehr gut lesen, auch mein Wortschatz ist
nicht so verlaufen, wie ich mich gefuerchtet habe. Jetzt bleibt nur noch
das tippen von Umlauten und vom Ess-Zett auf dieser Compaq Presario Tastatur.
Weiter: the three mad backgammon players stayed through until at
least noon (----- came in and relieved me at 11:15). Weenie was stuck
something like 100 points last time I looked at the sheet.
My horoscope says nothing but positive things - new endeavors go well, etc... shouldn't let it get to my head, but I do find it all encouraging.
After a mere four hours of sleep I
find myself unable to sleep more, though I can feel the need for further
sleep. Electricity in the brain. But could I only determine my own
work schedule! That would be the ultimate freedom, I imagine, and it is
the very thing I strive for today.
