today — after more than a week of absence from felicidad — I felt like the first-guitar-player-ever: so many strings, so many frets, so many fingers.

• brain: last weekend I tried to play the four-part piece in two voices (by john renbourn & stefan grossman) by heart for the first time. didn't work of course, but it will. sometime in the future.
• nails: two broken fingernails again; one by itself, the other by carrying parcels. - should I go shopping?

georg asks in his blog why I was writing latin (in the test entries of his blog which I had configured some weeks ago). the answer is quite simple: this "lorem ipsum" stuff is not latin but a well known dummy text ("blindtext") used by typesetters and others - cf. http://www.loremipsum.de/ or http://www.lorem-ipsum.info/.

btw: you could also delete my test articles :-)

one week in berlin without playing guitar for one single minute. although I had all required stuff with me.

shame on me.

added podcasting to the trio infernal website. maybe I should link/syndicate the feeds on our planet, too.

(I used (ruby-)podcast for creating the rss files. Not in debian yet but works nevertheless after some fiddling around.)

update: I added the podcasts to planet trio infernal (as statical links).

I forgot to play guitar today. yes, really. why? - good question.

I just did a little programming, cursed the washing machine (which didn't want to spin any more) [1], had some easy&nice dinner, not much else ...

[1] as for washing machines: washing machine fingers lazy male

¡joder! three broken finger nails in two days. what's next?

norbert tretkowski [dead link removed] is not the only one suffering from the cold while going to work by bike - same here.
and playing the guitar is even more unpleasant, if not impossible with stiff fingers.

• buck rag is a nice little piece
• the girl from ipanema is what it is: beautiful but a little weird to play due to its rhythm & its demands to the fingers
• maybelle sounds a bit like tyrolean folk music. hm.

the daily routine of practice has returned (more than a week ago ...). 'idaho potato' is rather tricky but to my own surprise I can play (not without mistakes though) 'snap a little owl' by heart.

I'm curious to learn the new plans - if any :-) - of chrisu tomorrow.
