Hold on whilst i go get my morning coffee.
Okay. Now i’m ready. It’s Saturday today, and therefor a good time to head out to the Han river park for a throw of the frisbie. Hanmee wants to take the cats out there to see just what they’d do and to show them that there’s a world out there they’re missing. Good or bad? I dunno. Probably more good than bad.
I just got the “Solar Times” from Real Goods, the environmentalist retail store. They send out this newsletter every month. Just reading about the US president Bush’s refusal to sign this Kyoto greenhouse gas thing. What a nerd. Russian roulette with future lives. What strikes me as odd is that the Kyoto Protocol only plans to lower greenhouse causing gas by 5.2% in 22 years. Doesn’t seem very substantial to me. And Bush can’t even commit to that! Then he says that, after faulting the Kyoto thing for excluding developing nations from its requirements, he wants to cut US aid for helping third world countries fight their global warming problem.
On the home front; nothing new, really. I moved a lot of plants from the living room into the balcony to get a bit of humidity. The living room is kind of dry now with the balcony windows shut and the air conditioning on.
On the computer scene; I’ve got my little tiny network happening with the P3 as the server & every day use machine (kind of like a client), and the P1 hooked up to the scanner. They’re connected with a cute little tiny 4-port hub i picked up at Youngsan market. It works well.
Something up with the coffee. I drink Seattle’s Best, good. I drink Starbucks, i get a stuffy nose. Anybody out there know what kind of chemicals they put in coffee? Or what they spray coffee plantations with? Just curious.
