| | Sun and Oil | | | Wednesday, June 11, 2008 (10:33 PM)
(I'm feeling bored) | | Got my bike oil changed. That was boring. There's one more test to give this week, then a three-day weekend. I found a car rental place across the street from my motorcycle repair guy. Might rent something and go over to the beach. Could take my bike, though. The weather might be nice. If anybody's interested in reading old journal entries from 2003-2007, you can ask for the link.

| | My Journal Address | | | Saturday, May 10, 2008 (6:22 PM)
(I'm feeling pissed off) | | | Been trying to make a voice recording, but the damn cats won't settle down. Then Pepper runs around and pulls my camera off the desk. He's on my shit list for a while.
For those interested, I keep a journal here: http://web.mac.com/michaeljosephraymond/iWeb/Site/Blog/Blog.html So you can read about stuff going on around here.
This is only from recently, because I use iWeb (that comes with a Mac), but I didn't realize iWeb doesn't save the blog to a server, so I accidentally deleted my old journal and it was lost for ever. I hated Apple & Mac for a long time after that. Recommendation: If you have a Mac, don't ever delete anything until you know for a fact that you can retrieve it. And I mean FOR A FACT! Don't assume an Apple Mac runs like a PC. Don't assume anything about Macs. They are not nearly as "intuitive" as a Windows-based PC. | | | | 62 Views | 0 Thumbs Up | 0 Comments | |

| | Truth Hurts | | | Tuesday, April 8, 2008 (3:35 AM)
(I'm feeling contemplative) | | I have been avoiding the truth the last few days. In my mind I somehow created an alernate reality about Frank. It's embarrassing, but interesting, how the brain is so willing to accept falsehood when the truth is too painful. Frank really is dead, and I've accepted that now. I can be sad and mourn properly now that the denial is over.
No school tomorrow, because it's election day. Election days are national holidays here.
Never did find out what the big demonstration was on campus today. The noise disrupted my classes, though. My 3:00 class only had eight people in it. Guess the other 17 were at the demonstration. | | | | 76 Views | 0 Thumbs Up | 0 Comments | |

| | iWeb can kiss my nethers | | | Friday, April 4, 2008 (5:15 PM)
(I'm feeling aggravated) | | So I've been on the Mac using iWeb for the last 11 months, almost daily writing my thoughts and comments about my life here in Korea. The program gets a glitch, as programs do, and in the process of fixing it, I delete my online blog. "Oh, crap!" I say to myself, but years of experience have taught me that online stuff is never truly lost. However, we're dealing with the wonderfully "intuitive" dot Mac, and no, my blog was not stored on a server for later recovery. It was stored on my Mac... and the files are gone. Apparently when you delete a "site" on iWeb, it doesn't go into the Trash where you can fish it out. It's just plain gone. I do not recommend the iWeb program for blogs. A blogger like me needs an automatic backup. Mac is good for some things, but not much. Glad I have one, but no longer enthusiastic about the whole Mac adventure.
My friend Teddy called me yesterday afternoon to say our British friend Frank died in a motorcycle accident yesterday morning. He was in Korea making money for his wife and kids he has in the Philippines. I'll be going over to La Cantina to pay my respects. There's this Canadian musician (Ian) who plays at La Cantina from time to time, and he has a song he wrote called "Funeral Sandwiches." It's an odd song, and Frank and I used to make jokes mercilessly about it. Last time Ian was there, he was finishing his set without singing "Funeral Sandwiches," so I yelled out for him to sing it, and he did. Frank and I had a jolly good time making faces and wisecracks about the song. Today I'm going to make some funeral sandwiches in Frank's memory. | | | | 69 Views | 0 Thumbs Up | 0 Comments | |
