Set up my mobile for the web

Yes, I finally got email working on my phone and can now email in tasks to Remember the Milk, and photos to either Evernote or flickr. Yay!

The reasoning behind this was that if I’m to programme for the mobile web, I guess I really should have used it at least a little bit, eh?

Did some research

For the collaborative project I’m working on with a friend. This involved looking into the new Google Android operating system for mobile phones and wandering about learning about Mobile Web Servers. Interesting stuff!

Went a little mad in the Tate bookshop

I’ve ordered in a hardcover copy of the Rothko exhibition catalogue cos there’s a couple of articles in there I want to read which sound like they might be relevant to the piece I want to write (and they were selling the hardcover version for the price of the paperback because they’ve sold out of both and are recalling some hardcover ones from the US and will post to me for free. Oh, and I got 10% off too for being a member :-) ), and bought some Rothko postcards too to stick up on my wall and remind me what I’m working from. And found The Dada Reader in the Tate book sale – £4 down from about £17, plus 10% off again. Yay! Goodness only knows where I’m going to put this immense library of visual art books I’m accumulating, but I’ll worry about that when I get to it.

Finished the Evola article

… which has been very interesting and useful. Going to put aside The Dada Seminars now for a bit.

Worked on Satie & Dada research

Aiming to get to the end of the Evola article this week so I can focus on books that are in the Imperial College library while I have access to them.

Got back to the Dada study!

After a very long break from this, finally started making some notes again and finishing off the article on Evola. It felt very good. Must keep this up.

Made a very brief update to my Creative Journey blog

which has been greatly neglected for pretty much the whole time I’ve been working. Had a wander around the collections though and posted a couple of things. Must do more of this

Posted a question to the spnm’s forum

I’ve been increasingly preoccupied with trying to work out how to continue composing while I’m on a contract, without either neglecting my commitment to my employers or doing without sleep or living with permanent neck and shoulder pain, and have yet to come up with a good answer, so this evening I posted a question on the spnm forum asking people who work full-time how they maintain their composing activity or, if they’re not working full-time, what option are they taking instead and how is that working out for them. It’ll be interesting to see the answers (if any). Hope I do get one or two…
