Vitanuova for 2001 March 31

Saturday

My arms felt marginally better in the morning, but that didn't last too long. zork has come back up.

I had a dream last night that I lost a tooth; I definitely hope that doesn't happen in real life. At a few points in my life, I haven't taken good care of my teeth. There are consequences to that.

I'm thinking about various possibilities for interface for this diary. One is to have month pages (2001-03.html) with concatenated day pages together, separated by horizontal rules. Another is to take the output of cal, like

and generate links to entries for days where entries exist. Another is to have "next" and "previous" links. I'm just not sure what to do.

Sunspot

I've been hearing a lot (from five different sources!) lately about solar activity and likely storms on Earth. I'm told I might even be able to see the aurora down here in San Francisco this evening, and then that the power grid may be even more unstable. And my cell phone may not work. Good thing I don't have a cell phone!

City of God

With my right arm in lots of pain in the afternoon, I read E. L. Doctorow's City of God.

This is one of the best books I've read in years, but also one of the most painful, maybe more so than The Last of the Just -- solid competition, anyway.
