arisbeTomorrow. The hospital, not the president. The one where I was training doctors and nurses in computer operations. (The nurse who left me on the bedpan for hours took an early retirement rather than learn something new.) The hospital named for the fellow whose grandson (or something) was the first (?) Bishop of Newark, and the founder of Seton Hall.
I show up at 7:30 for a procedure at 9:30. This one should work, unlike the one a couple of weeks ago, and may even (I may be permitted to hope) entail less pain during and after. And if it works, of course, ordinary living should be a good bit less onerous. At this point I can't even imagine that. Wish it for me anyway. Should be out around noon, maybe walking a little funny. In time for lunch at one of those little Greek diners if I am up to it.
The Asus eeepc is proving just the thing to carry around in my shoulder bag, especially when I do on-site college inspections. I wish there were more free wifi hotspots around, but there's the Gigi Cafe across from the subway station, not to mention the Bowery Poetry Club. I was happy to get SILC working on the livingroom desktop and actually connect to a server, but of course nobody was actually on. Then again, why should they be? IRC is esoteric enough to keep the vulgar out, and encryption is just the icing on the cake. Still, I like the idea for some reason. Then again, I thought ICQ was fun back around 2000.
More later, maybe.
