I am trying to revive the spirit for blogging by installing wordmobi . Let’s see if it’ll help.
At first, installing its corresponding python runtime, python 1.9.6 for wordmobi 0.9.3, from the download page failed because my handset read it as an untrusted application. So, I grabbed the one from maemo.org, Python_1.9.6_fixed.sis.
So if you are reading this then it works fine.

World Philosophy Day
That is yesterday, 20th November.
I got a hangover for being out in the rain for three days in a row. So, sneezes are frequent at the moment and expected to cause headache as well. So why would one need another “Four philosophical questions to make your brain hurt”?
Well, those sure are fun in a way. They take one’s mind off of the current economy meltdown, triggered by the credit crunch (the one made in USA, not the chocolate). Though worries, whether my relatives and friends would keep their jobs, linger.
Hmm… I only got two so-called “philosophical” questions at the moment: “am I real?”…………… that begs the question “what is real”? ……………… I am hungry.
Talking about diversion… early this week, I found out that BBC now has a “weird and wonderful” section. Similar concept to Reuter’s “oddly enough” I suppose.
I can’t get these programme names and Trans7 website is not helping either. I found these programmes crammed around 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., the times targeted towards children who have just got home from school, I suppose.
Well, these programmes have been using some of Chrono Cross and Legend of Mana soundtracks as background music.

So, their music programmers are gamers apparently. And uncreative, definitely.
Should I complain over such “trivial” matter?
It is not because those two are some of my favourite game soundtracks. It is because they are used without given proper credits. Such practice is, I think, unethical. And it’s too bad because I actually enjoy the shows and think they’re ones of the better TV programmes.
For sometimes, there has been “libertango” in search terms that brought some to this blog (and thus increased page visit, thank you). In a way, it made me feel bad about this blog for there’s nothing on it except a mention in anticipating Beethoven Virus (in which I mispelled the maestro’s name! shame on me!) and the by-now-defunct sonific playlist.
There are a lot of renditions of Libertango, in various styles, for it’s Mr. Piazzolla’s most popular piece, I think. The Bond girls, Al di Meola, Yo Yo Ma, Carribbean Jazz Projects, Paquito d’Rivera, Michel Camillo, Die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker, and more have at least had one. But of course, first and foremost, one needs to listen to the maestro in action himself, which one should’ve found on first page when googling for “libertango.” There’s also one by Astorpia Tango Quintet, a quintet that was set up by Mr. Piazzolla.
And if one is dilligent enough, there are a lot one can find over the internet, a mental exercise that might benefit one in reducing the risk of dementia.
