Light&Dark

Light and dark - great shadows in this apartment. Shadows of what once was and free of the darkness associated with disaffected neighbors and their rude behaviors!

Lovely quiet place here by and large. All the usual things going on, but with a normal spirit so far. With the smart silver machine newly resting on my desktop and my fleamarket boxes ready to go, I am ready for the next more significant moves. Ready to find my final destination and beyond ready, to walk away from ongoing pressures.

Would that some knight in shining armour appeared to bail out the shattered function of government here. Amazing when one lone man tries to stand-up for a completely rational chastizing of our idiot king and no other person has the strength to support him. All in all my own faith in people has partly departed.

Without the grating sound of high performance mechanics in my ear night and day, I must content myself with small pleasures. Relief: away from Steppford. Sunlight streaming through blinds and the quiet.

Mostly people don't stop by as often when you cease posting. I ceased functioning there - briefly, with the hazards of moving. The movers...broke all the casters off my one good television stand, lost most of the pegs needed for my secondary shelves in my office, and
successfully buried the key important boxes behind a wall, of all the others
boxes (labeled as such - a matter which was reviewed on
move day - with the movers in person)
Like comedian Ron White says "Next time you have a thought, let it go..."

So after huffing and struggling - on day 3 I found my short-list supply of silverware. Day 4-5, my handcream, etc. An Adventure in Moving! Harumph!!!

I now also have a cable provider - as phone provider. The anomalies going along with that, led me to - divert my fractured personna from shuffling boxes, into an online search for another site - where I could congregate with my chat buddies -- in a group, again! Hmmm not as easy as it would seem. While googling on that issue - and slapping my newly-reattached fax machine (because the phone with reasonably easy to program...answering machine, was also buried...) for weird lapses in message taking...

I discovered the call-waiting in the "cable company phone service" - doesn't "bleep". Well I guess it... does a static chirp? no chirp isn't it. Ahh...no not that either. Anyhow the point is, it isn't discernable. So week three in my new abode, I wade into the "voicemail" of this new system - only to find several - confused messages!!

AArgh. Long story short I came across "SightSpeed" in my googling. I read through the info and found it doesn't support my g3 iB. Rats. But the site is well structured, and the group looks good...so I messaged the key player. He wrote back - and then phoned! Poor fella -- my fax machine recorded part of the conversation (slap!)...lol. I think, things are still, outta control here a bit!!!

Long story - checkout SightSpeed.com It's a serious group - not for the "voyeur in waiting" crowd...and supports Mac and PC users. Yup - sounds like me (that is the clothes on, broad daylight, let's not scare the horses, crowd). Guess I must get a new machine... well, I knew that!

Photos of the flat to follow shortly.

Ah technology. So now there's Skype - or SightSpeed. But since one was bought by a biggie conglomerate...I worry it will lose it's user friendliness. Time will tell. Best wishes to the SightSpeed staff.
