Where were we?
Oh yes, the other piece of biblical advice. Something like, “If thy right hand offend ye, cut it off.” This morning I really did feel like hurling my computer through the window, but I suppose in the end I did persevere. That is why I am now in my local library. I borrowed a computer and negotiated various difficulties (I won’t bore you with the details) to the extent that I was able to post a chunk of blog before my one hour time slot expired. And I’ve now negotiated a few more difficulties to continue.
As you can probably tell, I am an analogue man living in a digital world. Next Thursday I’m presenting a musical quiz to my German class, half a dozen questions with associated pictures and music. I took great pleasure in devising questions which were zany rather than erudite, but I took no pleasure at all in “ripping” and “burning” musical chunks, to compile a CD. I downloaded a piece of software with accompanying instructions of such prolixity that I just ignored them and did it by trial and error. Anyway it’s done, a thoroughly thankless task. It brought me no joy.
Anyway I’ll let you know how it goes, assuming I’ve found a way to exorcise all these gremlins. But enough already. I’ll quit while I’m ahead and log off.
Bis nächste Woche!
