06 10 09:01  sight problems behind computer
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
