I found the guy's flickr account, which he wasn't hiding from me but I didn't know where it was. I searched flicker for "Prague," "uploaded between Oct 1 and Oct 19, 2007" and then paged past several pages of pictures posted on October 20 -- I don't know why, do they use a sort engine that thinks 20 is the same as 2? -- anyway, there it was: orangegeni. Heh.


Meanwhile I spoke too soon about being well. I'm not going to the Band Review even though I can hear it from my house because the thought of moving that much makes me want to puke. It's annoying: I have a lot of energy, but my insides are wobbly. The nice fellow went to work, which I think is irresponsible considering that he works with food. I imagine he'll wash his hands and change gloves often, at least.

Emma is hit the worst. I think that might be because she's younger and hasn't been exposed to as many of these already. I think she needs a flu shot, actually. I haven't got mine yet.

There's an added neurological dimension to this digestive virus: it seems to cause different neurological symptoms depending on where you've had trouble before. There's the skin supersensitivity, headache, and lightheadedness, of course. Then there's also, for me, a return of the hand symptoms I had laid to rest through a thoughtful regime of exercise, diet and medication, and for Emma, a return of back symptoms. Really a nasty creature, this virus.

Hey -- the guy's IMing me!He sent me a link to a picture of Bush and Putin in starry masonic wizard robes.

Liveblogging . . .

we're talking about Czech Nazis and his classes. And his ancestry, which gets more complicated every time we turn around. Now with added Sintis and Sorbians. Well, probably not Sintis, since we can't find an actual thread linking Johan Trollmann the Sinti hero destroyed by Nazis with Johan Trollmann the guy from Glogon. But Johan the Sinti looked, physically, as much like our Trollmans as Ignaz Trollmann, who beat up the Balkans for the Austria-Hungarian Empire. Who do you want to identify with?

Now he's gone to watch Rugby. I'm thinking about whether I'm going to eat breakfast.

Not that I want to be a stalker, but I have a soft spot for prague and I'd love to see his photostream - but 'orangegeni' isn't findable on flickr. (Flickr is weird, you can't look for usernames and you can specify a different name in the URL from your username.

And your wikipedia URLs are lacking quotes, so they don't turn up completely.

Fascinating person, Johann Willhelm Trollman. Courageous. Like so many, he deserved better.

Thank you. I fixed the links. I'm really a little out of it today. Also, here's Frank. (http://flickr.com/photos/14424697@N04) only seven photos, and he hasn't learned to care about rotating them yet, but -- Prague!

Prague! indeed. (I tend to get links wrong on a regular basis, too, I'm always glad when it happens in posts rather than comments because you can't edit comments).

My parents met in Prague, so I'm following the blog with interest.

"do they use a sort engine that thinks 20 is the same as 2?"

They may be compensating for timezones.
