The 500th writing uploaded to MySpace ought to have greater significance but an only reflect the day as it has been, and 505 will be an more important milestone towards the target of 10 X 101 and which in turn will exceed the 100 pieces of writing with photographs uploaded on AOL. Thee I uploaded all the early taken photos and the project development photo record, some 25000-to 35000 photos.
At present I am not having normal working days and in fact the work of translating the records of previous experience has been abandoned to giving attention to present experience and its relationship with the past. I am shortly to face a decision about the premature and preventable death of my aunt and the search for records about the first ten years of my life. I also need to recommence work on transferring photographic slides into scanned photos and complete some personal and private work.
I thought about these decisions as I went to the Riverside, Durham's County Cricket ground yesterday having checked that play would commence on time and Durham would be batting. The sun shone and during the rest of the morning and early afternoon it was warm to hot. I passed when the child had been sucked into an open storm drain and amazingly recovered by father after she was swept out into the river Wear some distance away. This is the same park where a woman was killed and other severely inherited when a large inflatable art work was thrust into the air throwing those caught in its workings to the ground from a great height. It is also where a boy playing have drowned on a hot summer's day. It is a most popular parkland because of exceptional play facilities and riverside setting so that families travel some distance.
I sat in what has become one of two three favourite locations overlooking the side on one wicket area on the members seating just under the main stand and player's pavilion. (The other two are behind the wicket close to nearest car park to the riverside and on the covered veranda outside the members lounge). I had been unable to park in the favoured space so had to make my way to the present main entrance areas.
This year the club has kept the temporary stands to give members and public officials the idea of what the proposed new extensions will look like: a new double decker stand to increase the seating to 20000, incorporating a new reception area closer to the car-parks and on the banks of the river within the grounds of the club a hotel with car parking plus a modern scoreboard, The cost some £25 million. I hope to be alive to see it. I have previously expressed concern about the trend from beautiful located and people friendly grounds into super stadium which had an air of desolation when filled by only one thousand spectators or less. However the economics of the sport means that the top clubs cannot attract the top players and balance the books without the income from international cricket and from the new 20 20 competitions.
The start of the innings did not go well in that despite good starts. Wickets were lost after by four of the top five batsmen when they reached twenty to thirty runs, 23,29.30 and 34. The run rate was also slow given that the first day had been lost. The innings was rescued by Chanderpaul. Shiverine Chanderpaul, born Guyana and an outstanding West Indian batsman has an unusual stance and for a time failed to fulfil his potential by only converting one fifty runs core in ten into a century. Then an operation in his foot appeared to resolve this problem and he now has a test average of 49 runs an innings and a first class cricket average of 52 when playing, He is listed as one of the top five batsmen in the world for 2008 by Wisden and voted top batsman of the year. He tends to have a slow start but once he feels to have mastered the conditions he plays a succession and brilliant text book scoring strikes by using his feet and his wrists. He is not a big hitter in the sense of Petersen but the ball nevertheless disappears over the boundary with great force and along the ground. He scored 130 runs not out by the close of play and was ably supported by Breese with 63 and a partnership of 180 runs. They would will need to score quickly in the morning and then bowl out Essex to make them bat again to have an chance of winning and staying in the race for the County Championship.
In the evening I watched the Korean film A bittersweet life which attempts to combine the usual gangland fighting with a psychological questioning of behaviour by the lead male whose downfall is precipitated by the cultured young girlfriend of his boss. When the boss goes away for a few days he enlists the help of his young enforcer who has served him loyally for seven years committing acts of torture and murder upon demand regardless of why. The boss has doubts about the loyalty of the young girl fearing she has a young lover. The enforcer suspects that this is true and accept an invitation to lunch with her the day after following her with a friend out for the evening and then watching her being dropped at her home. After the meal he takes her to a recording studio where she is playing in a chamber quartet. We do not learn the effect of the playing upon the enforcer until the last moments of the, but he finds them together as lover later in the day he hesitates killing the two as ordered and allows the young man to leave on the basis that the two will never meet again. When the boss finds that the girl wants to move to another city he works out that she was guilt and that the enforcer failed with the consequence that he hands the young man over to his rivals who commence an orgy of personal violence. He survives torture, having one hand smashed and being buried alive in a shallow grave. He manages to escape from these men and those of his employers and manages to get hold of some weapons and then sets out to kill his employers and all the men. In this he is almost successful despite being stabbed and then shot. Throughout his employers wants to know why the enforcer failed him and the enforcer why his employer turned on him. This is learnt after a fashion in those moments as we watch the reaction of the enforcer to the girl's playing.
A problem developed with the printer as in addition to one colour cartridge not fitting all of the second colour would not be accepted by the printer. I had parcelled these up and posted them back to the English centre of the supplier which is based in Jersey, on the way to the cricket. On return after the match I had brought back down from the upstairs work room one of the working printers, an Epsom 900 for which I still have a supply of single colour cartridges and black. Earlier in the week I had also bought. Software to back up the hark disk as well as to recover lost information as well as systems which fail to reboot. I will need to a free week without pressing commitments to solve some of the problems that have been created. I also need a camera memory card reader that will work with Vista. However I have worked out priorities over the time before now and Christmas.
Much time has been spent playing games against the computer despite to recent disasters. 91 games of level two chess before a draw and moving onto level three and 81 consecutives wins of spider which has taken the wins to 87%.
