It was a cold stroll to Mount Sogeumgang this morning, but I was rewarded with the beautiful sight of pear blossoms! Small, and not yet prevalent, they gladdened my heart nonetheless.
This afternoon is full of Super 14 rugby on the internet channel in the background as I work on lessons. Speaking of lessons, there was a serious and debilitating glitch in Second Life last Thursday when one of my groups was supposed to meet on the Grid. We all had the new viewer, the program that allows you to see and interact in Second Life; however, nobody's voice chat worked, not even mine. I zipped around to other locations trying to see if it was just my parcel or not, but it was Grid-wide. The company was apparently doing maintenance on voice just as the learners were gathering to meet, and for most, it was their first time in Second Life. How especially unfortunate for them. There was no option but to call off the meeting for another time. One of the disadvantages of being in Asia while Second Life is headquartered in California is that prime times to meet for us here are the middle of the night in California, a common time of day to do computer maintenance. Bof.
