How to juggle the data that is on different computers? I suppose it is a privilege to have this problem. So many of the what used to be usual housekeeping tasks are now no longer required or automated that is is possible to run many computers dedicated to the same tasks. (before each computer was dedicated to different tasks so it was a much easier thing to manage. but now I want to do email on several computers, keeps notes and lists, etc on each of them always synchronized. and have this even when I not connected to the other computers or the Internet. Still so difficult. so just now, I checked mail using webmail created a new note in a separate pst file kept my diary by blogging

created a new note in a separate pst file
kept my diary by blogging

I'm quite happy with my blogging. Extreme Publishing is up and running. The whole thing is remotely controlled. I've started my data blogs. I'm getting used to working this - learning to press the post and publish button and *not* the reload button. Wiuith the data page, I think I will start creating France pages - then the others. Also I need to get the data to the Treo using HandStory. One thing I've not worked on is my diary. Perhaps it becomes several different diaries. This one is for web develpment. Other diaries cover other topics. And then somehow combine them at then of the year.

The only places I'm in trouble are in Europe until there is cool wireless access and in airplanes. The beauty is the synchronicity. I can be editing files on multiple computers let's do some work. let's make a menu for xp

This blogger thing is quite amazing when I think about it. on one hand I am thinking about how it may turn the publising industry upside down with Extreme Publishing. On the other hand, I am thinking about how I can use it to get all my personal files on line. One thing is that blogger pro has spell-checking, but that web site is not up. Whot would I use personal blogs for: diary? difficult to access when off-line data files - for sure Basicly I should put most everything that I use FrontPage for. So I should create some folders in theoarmour.com... Which I have done. Then I need templates that I like. And then some include files to make a menu system betwen the files.

Well, after a number of hours on chast support with featureprice, I figured out how to get this blogger blog going. It all has to do with paths. Featureprice was not very helpfuil, but they proved that that ftp was working under a variety of conditions, this the error was in my court. After a number of trial and error tries, I hit the one that works, yeah!.

I got out of bed at 6:30 am and had a long bubble bath. It really was a bubble bath - there are lots of holes at the bottom that blow out air. It is sort of relaxing, but I would have preferred it if the hotel had a really nice shower or if the pool were open.

I had a little walk before breakfast, ate too many croissant and bread for breakfast. Then I walked up to Tania and Kip's room and we all talked for a hour.

I gave Allison a magnum bottle of 1977 Chateau Lafitte Rothschild that I had bought at a great price at The Travellers. We'll drink it on her birthday.

They've all gone their various ways. Right now I'm back in my room working and doing these diaries.

I woke up early and went to Les Deux Maggots where I met I woke up early and went to Les Deux Magots where I met Jim and Cheryl Michler, he was my boss when I first worked for Autodesk in Hong Kong. We had coffee then walked around St Germain. We went down rue des Canettes, rui Guisarde, through the Market. We stopped at Mulot and I bought them some pastries.


I dropped them off at Hotel de Fleurie where I took this picture of them. I talked with the nice owner of the hotel. He sends his regards to Nicolas and Nancy. I had a lot of trouble getting a taxi because it was raining, so I walked over to rue d'Assas and took the bus. I stopped and said hello at Les Mouettes.

I had a very quick lunch at the Travellers. Damien was there with five friends. Then I took a taxi to Orly and flew to Perpignon. I picked a rental car and drove to the Hotel les Trois Mas in Collioure.



Here is the view of the harbor looking through the round window in my bathroom. The Hotel is not what I might have chosen, but it is fun to be with my sisters.

We all had dinner in the hotel restaurant and talked and talked.

We arrived on time, the bags came quickly, and there was little traffic, so I was off the plane and in Paris within one hour.

I went straight to my room at The Travellers. I took a shower and put on a suit and necktie.

When I went downstairs to the bar, my friend Patrick was there. I watched him play backgammon for a little while. This is quite boring as nobody really talks.



Then Damien, Gregoire, Nicolas, and Benjamin arrived. We had drinks the club and then went out for dinner to a very nice restaurant in the 7e that I had never been to.



I had crêpes suzette for desert. Unfortunately the picture of them does not show the flames of the burning Cointreau

All four boys are growing up very nicely. They are at the age when they are full of confidence, happiness, and optimism. They all have jobs that they like. It was really nice to be with them and feel their energy.

I had all day to pack and to organize my departure. What a luxury to have all this time. And yet when it actually came time to leave, it was all rushed and there was not enough time.

I really like my apartment, so it is hard to leave. On the other hand it is easy to leave. I don't have to worry about the basement being flooded, or watering the plants. I can just lock the door and go. Here us the view from the balcony:

Before I left I took pictures of two things to show to the Rylands in Venice.


The first is a poster that is currently being displayed all over San Francisco advertising a contest to win a trip to visit the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.


The second is of a sculpture of a horse by Marino Marini that I can almost see from my bedroom Window. The sculpture is similar to the one at the water entrance to the Palazzo Venier.

I left from the brand new International Terminal at San Francisco Airport. It's very big. And seemed bigger because it was almost empty. I expect this will change when the summer tourist season starts.

I went to the United Airlines Red Carpet Club. Also enormous. There must be room for a thousand people. It has a beautiful view of the airport and the bay.

The flight was uneventful. I had three seats to myself. I saw a rather surreal film set in the 1920's about a man that escaped from prison and combed his hair a lot.
