Weak Ends....

A lovely third-day-of-the-weekend. Headed up to Seoul to get the cable I need to do a video presentation in Tokyo. Took the Saemaul (local) as the Mugungwha (milk-train) was already full. The Koreans are a frugal people!

It was a bit less than two hours up to Seoul and as usual I wrote away like a busy little beaver. I have no idea what it is about being on public transportation (or at a bar) that makes me focus on my readings and then write. The “U-base” folks were grand and they ordered me the correct cable which is scheduled to come land in two days or so. Plenty of time for the conference if I want to go visual.

It’s actually more important for my classes at the BPU biznezz school, which can’t seem to get its technology together. Can’t do much with videos I can’t play.

Anyway, whilst up at U-base I had to hand my laptop over to the tech and in that moment I realized exactly how filthy the keyboard was. ;-) The OAF had mentioned this before, but I hadn’t thought much of it. When I got home I pulled the cord and battery and cleaned the keyboard and deck. And then put it under a fan.

It was at that moment that I realized I probably should have backed up all of my brilliant paper-writing before getting my computer next to a rag that was even remotely damp. ;-)

It all turned out well.. the computer looks much more shiny, and the papers are safe.

And as there were no Saemaul or Mugungwha available, I took to KTX and sped back to lovely South Central.

As a bonus, over on Brian’s site, he had a picture of that advert for Korea complete with grammatical error and references that would mean NOTHING to any potential western tourist.

Solipsism to the max!
