I shoved Minimo on my Nokia N800 and got Bongo running on it. It is very very slow, and Bongo does look a little weird, but here are some screenshots:
Note
the lack of scroll-bar meaning the lower section of the logon
window is missing. This doesn't matter as it is not needed at
all.
This
all looks nice apart from the weird drop-down box to select from
Summary, Mail and Calendar. Still, it works.
Composing a new mail. Looks good.
Calendar month view. Looks good.
This is no great surprise that it worked as it's the same Mozilla code, but cut-down. However, it's nice to have access to Bongo on another portable device.
On Tuesday to Wednesday, I was in Durham. This was primarily for a departmental open day, but there was a chance to know the university and some people better.
I stayed in Grey college and it was nice. I met some nice people and am enthusiastic about going there. I was knackered when I got back though. Not really ready for school the next day, and I was truly rubbish and lazy at squash the following day! That's about all there is to say here about it.
Last week was a little hectic musically. Friday, Saturday and Sunday all contained concerts. Details:
Friday A program of Constant Lambert (Rio Grande), Percy Grainger (Tribute to Foster), Stamford and other choral works for the annual school choral concert in the cathedral. This was basically all sight-reading despite a tiring rehearsal the previous night. It went alright I thought, but the distance between instruments (orchestra, choir, piano, organ) was too much and sometimes slipped. I didn't mind.
Saturday The Huntingdonshire Philharmonic invited me back yet again to play with the choir. This is rather embarrassing because every time I get asked to play, I think to myself "I really should practise this time"- it never happens, and I feel quite guilty. There was a rehearsal in the afternoon, straight from school, and concert normal time. We played:
- Mendelssohn - 'A Calm Sea & Prosperous Voyage'
- Handel - Excerpts from 'Water Music'
- Vaughn Williams - A Sea Symphony
I was asked whether I could play in the next concert in May, and I wasn't sure. I later found out that I was playing in a Ramsey Choral Society concert that exact day in May so couldn't do the next Hunts Phil one. I didn't mind too much until I just found out that they'll be playing Beethoven's Mass in C, and the Eroica. I am very, very annoyed now.
Sunday This was the concert for the Chamber Orchestra of St. Ives (COSI). We aren't a particularly well-known group but this time the program was a cracker. Again, a rehearsal in the afternoon and concert in the evening. We played:
- Beethoven - 'Egmont' Overture, Op. 84
- Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K. 466
- Haydn - Symphony No. 101 in D «Clock»
We've been rehearsal for this concert for a few months now and meet the second Thursday of every month. It's nice.
Basically, the end of last week was very busy.
Oh, and I just realised that I'm on the second page of the school newsletter. Fun stuff.
