- I've been <cleaning>. This pisses GT off, I'm afraid.
-
- Brought over a new handy-dandy voltage converter, plugged in hair dryer,
- and got precisely 30 secs of warm air out of it before the converter
- exploded in a ball of flame and a loud pop. Bad smell followed.

- Met Adrian, who runs the IBM pc users group here. Very smart, very witty,
- very gone. He moves to the US in a few weeks. Smart, as I said.

- against the past with the future. I haven't yet had a good sense of what
- present is here.
