Blunt Appeal For Material Assistance
(Friday, 9 May 2008) Things have been a bit hectic the past few days, apart from these unpleasant and bothersome kidney-related symptoms. I suspect a new medication, which I stopped since it didn't seem to be having the intended effect anyway.
Anyway, as of Monday, I am off to the Swedish East Coast for 2-3 weeks of specialist cancer-recovery treatments, and full-care rest, at [Vidarkliniken]. I will therefore be offline and inaccessible, probably entirely, until the beginning of June. There might be some retroactive postings if I make notes while there, and I may get so desperate that I take over one of the clinic's computers and reboot it into a Linux-liveCD to gain normal accesss some day.... But basically, don't expect anything new here for at least 2 weeks.
Looking forward to what will effectively be my first holiday away from home for some time. The clinic stay is amazingly enough covered by my county's healthcare plan, not all counties do, so I will be paying only normal hospital fees for it all -- about 9 euro or 13 USD per day. Have to pay for the cross-country trip, of course, but maybe a fund will cover some of it. Or perhaps some donations (hint hint) :)
Featured product: [Get a Kindel reader!]

But the book is very, very good at providing the experience of reading a book. In this way, the Kindle occasionally comes off as if Ford, failing to make the conceptual leap to the car, had instead built a motorized horse. Sure, there would be some advantages: the robo-steed would never grow tired, and could be outfitted with more plush seating. But horses are pretty good at being horses. And books, like horses, have evolved to maximize their advantages. ... |
