2013-04-18; 8:19am, Thursday. Overcast and mild. Diary: Daily activities, Sharen, memories and computers. ~~After my effort to get L_H_W book1 redesigned and posted, I take a break from computer activities and have a day of unstructured-ness. Sharen and I recall the Penguin movie and I recall early computer days.~~ Yesterday was a day of calm in my activities. After my morning daily entry and lunch, I bought a birthday card, then continued walking along 4th street to the Elbow River and rounded the block going east to get home. In the morning I wrote, but did not post, or mark-up my entry. I did do some prep work for Left_Hand books one (1) through five (5) and worked on some points of my Sunday talk. Elisabeth called in the evening, after two weeks, but I was busy so we will connect later. In the aft I visited Sharen and we had a lively conversation at times, once she had woken up from her deep sleep in her room, where I found her. We had a house coffee and I mentioned the Penguin movie we saw together back in around 2006. ‘Oh jah‘, she recalled that alright, a dear memory no doubt and that is for the two of us. Things get recalled where the emotions are attached I have noticed over the years, this is why repression dries up your life or can overwhelm you when there too much of that. Later this morn coffee with John and in the day some serious preparation for my upcoming talk. I want to compose a short essay as a hand out, but that may be too ambitious. However, this idea will bring focus to my talk preparations. While I was on a short break, my computer decided to update itself and had closed this document. Fortunately I had saved it before this break, but it may have done so anyway. Thinking back of that early software and hardware from the eighties, with the 286 and 486 processor chips, then I realise how much more user oriented this whole technology has become. My standard from that time was and still is, it has to be as easy as operating a car. We are getting there, thanks - in part - to the internet, which was a military operation back then. Instead of making a ‘writing’ , I will start on my essay ‘My Belief Explored’ in preparation for the mentioned Sunday talk.<8:58am and 9:11am~ Writings: None. ~~ ~~
