I’m not sure if it’s really what I want,
but I’m gonna stick with it for a while, to see how it covers my needs.

The Minimate is the thing I really need for my mini.
I went for the “big” model with the 80GB harddisk, but it’s nearly full and I’m only halfway through (re)ripping my CD collection.

Looks like the Ugly Car is finally coming to the US.
So there isn’t any place to hide anymore.

FYI:
The SMART headquarter is located about 5 miles from here.
I worked in that building while I studied at university.

I’m still working on that Hypnosis/Trance/Guided Imagery - thing.

Looks like I’m going for next.

Just installed the image snag plugin.
This is just a test, to verify it is working…

A good friend (mambo) just ordered an PMA400 and (after a little nagging) started a blog about it.
If you can read german: Archos PMA400 Blog.

I’m pretty sure he’s going to develop some nice apps for it

That is once he received it…

After reading CF’s writup about his WP comment style, I just had to have it.

Oh yeah … I know that the sidebar on the “single” pages is broken, but I can’t find where the bug is

Had a flare up over the last few days.

It started saturday afternoon and is slowly going back to normal.
On the good side:
My insurrance finaly decided that it might actually be a good idea to go to Stanford to get fixed.
I already talked to Dr. Wise and it looks like I’ll be participating in the june clinic.

On a side note:
I got a (small) herpes upsring on my lip. Nothing major.
But actually I’m almost happy about it. Ever since this CPPS problem started I didn’t have any trouble with herpes.
Doctors told me that I had “found a new outlet for [my] anxiety”. So maybe this is a sign that things are going back to normal.
Or maybe not … we’ll see…

I didn’t find the time to work with the self hypnosis,
but I worked on my triggerpoints.

Yesterday I found a really bad one … and today it’s already much better.

This stuff should be taught at school.

One of the great geniuses … died today.
215 years ago.

He was born Jan. 17th 1706 and died Apirl 17th 1790.

Just thought I mention it, since he was such a smart guy.

Earl King (died 2003)
and
Linda Eastman McCartney (died 1998)
were great people too, but Ben Franklin was special.

While we are at it,
today would be
Krushchev’s (*1984) and Wilders(1897) birthdays.

I don’t care if you wanted to know that …

I know, I’m playing around with my blog far too much.

There are some rumors floating around that Systemic Enzyme Therapy (SET) is helpfull in curing CPPS.
I didn’t find any hard evidence yet,
but from what I understood so far about it (=Systemic Enzyme Therapy) it should be the right direction.

a) SET has an analgesic effect
b) the effect of all other drugs is enhanced, thus you need to take less
c) the (myofascial) triggerpoint release/therapy should be far less painfull

I’ll do some more research and might even start with a little experiment (on myself).

The new (Wordpress 1.5) blog is looking so good,
that the old blog will be disabled soon.

Hmmm … just checkd Technorati for CPPS and it looks like no one else is blogging about this “disease”.

I thought maybe prostatitis is more popular,
but there is no hit at all.

Am I the only one with this problem ?

Maybe this helps to spread awareness a little:
Technorati Profile

Cool. I had that on my todo list for a while, but had planned to wait until after the Wordpress upgrade.
And now I stumble upon Justins Month Chunks Plugin.
This was easy to install and looks so much better than a list with 50 entries.

I still have to tweak the style a little, but it’s a start.

Looks like the upgrade to 1.5 went smooth. Very smooth in fact.
Only thing missing is the template/theme/style and some of the plugins.

The URL has slightly changed, but I’ll add forwarding from the old site in a while.
(i.e. when things have settled down)

I promised to come back about how the selfhypnosisi is working.

The truth?
I can’t tell you. At least not yet.

Each session needs one hour and I need to do at least 15 of them before anything (really measurable) is expected to happen.
I had 4 sessions so far … and I feel more relaxed, so that is good.

I also started to treat my (internal) trigger points myself.
I know what to do and where to do it.
The spot is just a little bit hard to reach.

I had two (10minute) sessions last saturday and two more on monday.
I plan to get into a Monday-Wednesday-Friday rythm.

I know two things about these sessions:
a) they hurt like hell.
b) they help!

I switched some/most of my others sites to Wordpress 1.5 already.
This one is next.

1.5 is really that much better.

Only thing left to do is to write the theme/style and I don’t have the nerve to hack up CSS right now

For those of you who are able/willing to read german.

Ich habe mich nun doch endlich entschieden wieder haeufiger auf Deutsch zu schreiben.
Ich werde einfach Mal mit meiner unverbluemten Meinung zu Buechern, CDs, DVDs und sonstigem anfangen;
Und dann mal schaun worauf es hinauslaeuft.

Just a short checkup.

Bloodpressure is ~ 90/60.
And my bloodoxygene also doesn’t look too good at 94%
:(

I’ll start exercising again soon … so I hope that will fix it.
