hebdo:wanderWegs-homing in…
a flying leap to th present & a very, very slick internet cafe @ weimar
train station, maybe th only public(?)internet access in all of
thüringen? …mini towers under th table(!) -flat screen monitors from
siemens (one of their sponsoring partners, along w/ bitburger brauerei,
consors discount broker, ecrc, msn & pioneer electronics…) -another
flat wide screen for video over th bar…espressos @ 3 marks-
not*that*bad- but quarter liters(half pints?) of sparkling mineral
water are th same price…
peter suggested i try some shop or business in town for an alternative
possible access, but it seems like a long shot to me…a likelier
option, to my mind, wd be if k-heiner can be my passport to access thru
th university…we will see…
ah, well, this cool slick place runs on windows nt, & th five terminals
for client access are linkd to their cash register & even (if i
understood right) their tv-video terminal, seemingly hardwired to
mtv-deutschland (th eagles just performd their taped reunion version of
‘hotel kalifornia’…) when i first came by last wednesday, trying to
meet my self-imposed mid-week (mittwoch) newsletter deadline, their
network crashd while i waited for an available terminal…if i got th
story right, the thing runs from a local server right here in th
manager’s office, but he was nowhere to be found & an hour & a half
later, when i gave up & started on my hike to buchenwald, they still
hadn’t managed to raise (microsoft deutschland?)tech help on th
phone…
so this is friday afternoon, th beginning of th big goethe birthday
party, it’s 3 marks every 15 minutes for access- 12dm/hour, nearly five
o’clock, peeing in my pants, spent too much time as usual doing office
work, but it may have bn work it- got a moderately organised address
book @ yahoo & i can save working drafts here, so…yahoo looks better
& better…if i can shake off th sheets early enough tomorrow morning,
i can try to begin filling in my narrative gaps, müunchen to
johanniskirchen to weimar…
luv, luv, luv=(8{>
