20th April, 2000 So much has been happening on the website over the last 10 days that I wanted to write and let you know about it. I have added several new sections and now there is a regularly updated page, "What's New?", where you can go whenever you drop in, to quickly find what has recently been added . (The underlined links in this article will open new windows when clicked...) A very special addition to the site is the story of Samuel Armas. There are links all over the place to this story, because it is so important. I won't say anymore... just go there! I also incorporated a lead-in to a whole new website in its own right. It is called The Amazing Truth because it is the story of how Jesus has loved me in a very practical way over many years of difficulty. And to complete the spectrum from fun to serious, I have included a poem called Isolation which explores the feelings of a person who is chronically ill and cut off from life. Something for everyone... or for every mood. There's another new section.... The Storyteller. And to set the ball rolling a story, called ozEkoala and Dingo. Lots of fun, but with a serious theme woven in. Stop
press: I've just added another story If you don't feel like anything too serious, try my new Strine section. This is pure fun and silliness, as you learn to talk like an Australian, but because I like things to have a purpose I plan to add a useful Australian dictionary and Oz - US conversion page soon, to help with the language barrier. By conversion I don't just mean weights and measures, although that could be part of it, come to think of it... No, I mean terminology. When we say tea, you say dinner... that sort of thing. I'll need a bit of help with that, so let me know some of the differences you've picked up in your online travels and I'll include them in the new conversion page. You can see I have been very busy, but the weird thing is my brainfog is as bad as ever. I never cease to be amazed at how much I can do even when I can't think straight. I can't plan, I can't edit and correct (except to use the spell-checker!), I can't 'try' and do anything except what flows without effort from somewhere within my sub-conscious. I could almost learn to like living this way, and wonder if I will miss it when I am well again... but then I try to use my brain for something, it hurts.. I get frustrated... try again... get incredibly tired... and then I realise this thing is a curse and I won't miss it at all! The only good thing I can envisage coming out of having experienced this, is perhaps the ability to tap into my creative flow through relaxing my conscious mind's control a bit... Maybe - we'll see... For now, this is ozEkoala@theKeyboard signing off until next time, Who knows - I might be better by then!
