Just as taiko was finishing     

Dinner with Mori     

Well, I got categories sorted out, too- and, since the upstreaming is working again now (it seems, at least), everything is looking good...     

Photographs
A new set of photos published to the internet. Last autumn's red leaf season at Sandankyo, in the north of Hiroshima Prefecture.     

Web articles worthy of mention...
A long (14 pages!) and involved review of Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar, on Ars Technica. I learned a lot by reading this article, not least that I can get my Mac to speak to me when an application needs attention...!     

Having sorted out the Radio shortcuts for the Breakfast Show yesterday evening (albeit without having been able to post them), today it's time to look at categories...     

CDs, or pieces of music, worthy of mention...
'Winds of Change' by the Scorpions
iTunes is superb for precisely the reason that, with 1352 songs on my hard drive, it can occasionally bring up a gem of a song I'd forgotten about. 'Winds of Change' is one- quite apart from being an excellent song, every time I hear it I am reminded of the times I spent in Moscow and Leningrad.     

Web sites worthy of mention...
Amish Tech Support
If for nothing else, this weblog deserves 15 minutes of fame for the superb title!
But it's not just the title. To quote from the author, 'Some people call me crude, offensive, crass, and tasteless.' Sounds like just my sort of weblog!     

With all the agony I was in last night(!), I forgot to mention something important. September 6th is, in an average year, the last date of the year on which the temperature rises above 30 degrees in Hiroshima.
Ha. Ha. Ha. (Bitter laugh)
Today was about 34 degrees, and according to the weather forecast, this heat is going to continue for a while longer yet. Even the Japanese are commenting on how hot it is, which is some consolation. But not much...
Oh well, I suppose I can take heart from the fact that summer is on its last legs now. How long those legs prove to be is another matter, though...     

Breakfast Show Staple Randomhaiku of the day (from The Genuine Haiku Generator)

newborn ripple shrieks
feebly, melodies sneering
harpy hoping kind
