I am sick and tired of just laying round here at home, so I have started working again. Unfortunately my father does not have a router and I am unable to make his cable modem work with my laptop, so I have made a tarball of the subversion repository I am working on and have tranfered that to my laptop using a mp3 player with a USB interface. It is a cumbersome method to exchange data, I admit – especially for only 100kb of text files – but it works.

Lars have been playing with openttd some more and have created some very cool screenshots. I have tried to start a new game myself and use the idea of a train network instead of just building simple point to point lines as I did when I last played this game, back in the nineties. I seem to have lost some of my patience, however, and have not managed to actually get far enough in the game to have any mentionable train network. I hope I can play some more today.

So, I was supposed to be arriving at Duke University with Lars today. Instead Lars went alone and I’m sitting here at my parent’s place recovering. I was as usual at the gym with Rune monday, after a tough ride on the exercise bikes and a trip to the sauna I passed out for a brief period. I know now that passing out while standing up on a bathroom floor is a very bad idea (yeah, who would have known). I have dislocated my jaw bone, and broken it in two places, I have a fractured tooth and a scar on my chin. I went to the emergency room with Rune and went through 4 hours of surgery yesterday to fix one of the fractures. My upper and lower jaw are now connected with rubber bands and my teeth are wired individually and have to stay that way for six weeks, tough luck.
