Reading null's journal

Well, what happened today. I'm still feeling a bit sick (since Saturday), but it might have gotten a little bit better. Since Orchid is in Zürich and my neighbor doesn't appear to seek my company / technical advice / weed tonight, I've finally found the time for another round of house (or apartment) improvement. Today this means fixing the (more or less) new carpet in the hall and installing another shelf & more power plugs in the kitchen. (The amount of power plugs in my apartment is amazing. A quick count shows that there are approx. 16 non-computer-related devices permanently connected to electricity!)
All that's left now is installing a second closet in the bathroom and painting part of the hall white (it is now a strange kind of grey). And I'm sure our next Ikea trip will give me plenty of new ideas! :-)

The thing that made my day:
A little more than two weeks ago I sent a packet of Swiss chocolate to my ISP to thank them for almost 5 years of outstanding (sic) service. Today the thank you mails have started pouring in, and I'm pretty sure even their CEO is among the writers! Talk about proximity to customers. :-)
