A Web Undone 2I used to keep working at my great web all day long, but at night I would unpick the stitches again by torch light. I fooled them in this way for three years without their finding it out. The Odyssey, Book XIX, trans. Samuel Butler(Untitled)- December 31, 2002 I have been having problems with the Radio Userland comments server, so I am going back to YACCS.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100216/2002/12/31.html#a264 College Chess's Silent Knights (washingtonpost.com)- December 31, 2002 "MIAMI, Dec. 29 -- Too bad the wrestling people don't run chess tournaments."http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A52264-2002Dec29.html (Untitled)- December 31, 2002 A long day just trying to keep things going. Transferring settings from my old computer at work to my new one proves to be a process taking days not hours. For the past couple of days, the computer has ground away "collecting information" and then the transfer process has burped out an error saying it has lost contact with the new computer and has to quit. I hope that by collecting and saving the settings and files on the old computer first, rather than trying to transfer them.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100216/2002/12/30.html#a262 (Untitled)- December 30, 2002 This morning, for the second day in a row, I had some of the best coffe I have had for a long time, thanks to my Christmas present from my wife. Undoubtedly, it is the best present I received this Christmas. She gave me a briki for making Turkish coffee and a brass burr coffee grinder from Natasha's Cafe that produces the fine grind necessary for Turkish coffee. It takes a few more minutes to grind and prepare, but the reward is proportionate.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100216/2002/12/29.html#a261 (Untitled)- December 29, 2002 I had almost despaired of being able to run Infocom text adventrure games on my Palm after pilot-frotz broke in Palm OS 5.0. Fortunately, I found frobnitz, and it looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100216/2002/12/29.html#a260 (Untitled)- December 29, 2002 Besides spending a very pleasant evening with two good friends, with whom we enjoyed a delicious grilled lamb dinner at the Lebanese Taverna in Pentagon Row, I probably learned more about basketball tonight than I have in the preceding thirty-odd years. For my first live professional basketball game, we went to see the Wizards, who narrowly defeated the Atlanta Hawks. Now I will be able to tell my children that I saw the legendary Michael Jordan play, even though a better time would.http://radio.weblogs.com/0100216/2002/12/28.html#a259 PDACool- December 24, 2002 "Quel est le comportement des principaux logiciels sur la plateforme Palm OS 5.0 Voici un état des lieux qui risque d'être dépassé au rythme des mises à jour des programmes."http://www.pdacool.com/article.php3?id_article=240 |
