06 10 09:33 dizziness and losing balance
06 10 09:47 go out for fresh air
06 10 11:18 stay dizzy, lying down
06 10 14:31 even with closed eyes world seems to turn
06 10 16:23 dizziness becomes frightening
06 10 16:32 emergency doctor visit
06 10 16:51 diagnosis nystachmus (= eyes cannot focus on
06 10 16:51 fixed point). prescription cinnarizine
06 10 16:51 and at least one week no computing
06 10 17:12 cinnarizine at drugstore, nearly faint at counter
06 10 17:29 swallowing cinnarizine 2x, lie down
06 10 22:31 dizziness seems to be reduced 50%
06 11 12:14 call to kunstlicht (sven) to explain problems
06 11 12:27 decision: 1 week rest, will see then
06 23 11:08 call to kunstlicht (sven) will try
06 24 21:55 second beta for web
06 25 13:12 develop magazine piece, more screen dumps of
06 25 13:12 web piece and developing programs
06 25 19:49 restart work on lay out magazine pages
06 26 11:29 again sight problems behind computer
06 26 12:07 go out for walk
06 26 17:25 still problems focusing
06 27 14:12 call to sven to push deadline. postponed aug 1
06 27 14:12 although kunstlicht will be going in print sept
06 27 20:42 help offered by kees, has better & larger monitor
06 28 17:31 try to work, but sight problems worsen
06 29 16:29 cancel (60% finished) project through kees
06 29 16:29 will be postponed to later issue of kunstlicht
08 18 15:32 call from sven if health is better and if i still can finish
08 18 17:21 inform about my condition
08 18 19:15 explain that i'm facing problems with browser
08 18 19:15 software (= i can't test my work for web)
08 18 16:37 contact kees and agree to use his machine for
08 18 16:37 testing my work for web
08 19 23:12 computer memory problems with page lay out
08 19 23:12 (size pictures is too big)
08 20 01:22 alternatives for lay out do not work as thought
08 20 10:51 change plans for magazine piece
08 20 10:51 decide to use older material and bigger pictures that
08 20 10:51 have to be scanned at kees's
08 20 16:11 call kees for appointment later that day
08 20 19:54 third beta web piece finished
08 20 19:54 third beta web piece (send to test for kees)
08 20 22:44 at kees's scanning device seems to have problems
08 21 00:27 after several trials and contacting the scanner
08 21 00:27 company's website without result decision by kees
08 21 00:27 to clean scanner tomorrow
08 21 00:33 earlier mailed beta 3 to kees seems not to have arrived
08 21 01:37 at home email kees: "girlfriend opened mail, piece
08 21 01:37 had arrived after all," comment about piece: "hardly
08 21 01:37 works, too slow"
08 21 01:45 the impossibility to test web piece directly is
08 21 01:45 devastating. another search in newsgroups for
08 21 01:45 people with same problems
08 21 01:57 in macromedia newsgroups only find complaints. i mail
08 21 01:57 a complaint too
08 21 02:45 smaller and probably faster beta 4
08 21 02:44 send beta 4 (with different sounds) to kees
08 21 17:39 email kees responding: "works fast, but hardly any sound"
08 21 19:21 testing piece with kees from a distance is hardly
08 21 19:21 workable situation, so another in-depth search for solution
08 21 20:01 discover newsgroup macromedia.webplayer
08 21 20:01 search mails with subject: uninstall problems
08 21 23:52 mail posted by shockmechanic with solution(?)
08 21 23:52 follow instructions and go to
08 21 23:52 http://www.shockwave.com/aboutus/contactus.html
08 21 23:52 mail to: shockwave.com for uninstall instructions
08 21 23:52 autoresponder replies: within 24 hours you will be contacted
08 22 27:21 email by kees: problems scanning photos solved by
08 22 27:21 using grey background
08 23 15:01 at kees's writing scanned pictures onto a cd
08 23 15:24 checking my betas in browser for the first time
08 23 15:26 betas hardly work as planned
08 23 15:41 discussing with kees new plans for artist' pages
08 23 17:19 fundamental question of what a magazine piece is
08 23 17:19 kees: documentation can't make a good magazine piece
08 23 17:19 i: documentation can make a good magazine piece
08 23 17:28 kees points to examples
08 23 17:37 still disagreeing i go home with cd
08 23 22:59 at home: beta 5 (without sound)
08 24 02:51 new idea for page lay out not working, pictures are
08 24 02:51 too big for page
08 24 13:06 alternative leaving pictures out and opt for
08 24 13:06 text-based log, older dates can be used
