Minor nigglesomeness and some good things
Had a little run of minorly nigglesome stuff -
Yesterday my watch appeared to have stopped, and I was, how am I going to get a new battery inserted? - and then later on I picked it up and it had started again, I dunno, what is this thing that this thing is?
And today I had a thing when I was working in a document in Word and it suddenly started going Word Is Not Responding and being weird and then shut down and I found that it did not even have autosave of the edits I had made when I re-opened the document, annoying. Fortunately it was not a lot of text, but still annoying.
Then I was thinking that it seemed a while since I had had a statement for one of my credit cards, and looking into this found that I had overlooked it since it had been sent enclosed with Some Other Communication which was not an actionable item...
Pah.
However, chasing around for various books to have on hand for editing a paper which I am turning into a chapter for a book which has been a prospect that had gone very quiet for several months, and is now A Go, I have managed to lay hands on them: except one, which I find is anyway out in a new edition with critical intro at eligible price.
Also on matters academic, there is a call for papers which seems very directed towards the subject matter of a paper I have been touting around several conferences - I suppose I should fancy up an abstract and send it off...
