Several months before moving to Motovun I learned from friends who live in Istria that I should get something called uninterruptible power supply or UPS. The electric current in Istria is subject to all kinds of troubles, including jolts that can fry electrical appliances. Fearing most for my computer I got a UPS system of choice. I realized only upon arrival in Motovun that I could not connect it to my Macintosh because of plug incompatibility. I now use my computer only sparingly lest I lose it in one fell swoop. Whenever I turn it on I feel jittery. Writing in peace is unimaginable. One of my friends who suggested I get the UPS will come tomorrow to help me connect it properly. He is an expert, too. This accomplished, I will be able to start developing a new daily routine, which will be dominated by writing, editing, and managing my writings, including the selection available on the World Wide Web. In the meanwhile, I am on vacation, as it were. Uninterruptible power supply be praised.
