This is the last day in my apartment. I sent off the last box today by sea mail. It has some magazines and clothes. The weight still came to nearly fourteen and a half kilograms. Now I just have to clean everything and pack the suitcase.
I found a great picture of 90s Danish supermodel, Helena Christensen. Some people have contacted me about where some of the best magazine scans can be found. This is a good place to start.

I bought a new headphone cable today as the Shure cable I've been using has started to fail. It probably hasn't helped with the way I have had to travel and store them this past year. SAEC is a Japanese audiophile company that that seems well-regarded within the industry. I also bought new ear pieces as the Comply branded ones I've been using this past year are truly awful. A waste of money. I've managed to get the Shure ear tips again.
I managed to get the teaching resources sent off today as well as get a small visa extension.

The Apple versus FBI encryption issue just became more confusing.
Dave Lee writing for the BBC:
If the method proposed by the "outside party" works, here's the question: will the FBI engage in responsible disclosure with Apple after it has accessed the iPhone used by Farook?
If it does, Apple will surely seek to fix the flaw immediately, putting us back to square one when the inevitable next case comes around.
But if the FBI doesn't share the method, what will that do to the reputation of Apple's products if it's known the US government is openly in possession of a security flaw of this magnitude?

I sent most of the compact discs today. They went via EMS, which offers speedy transit times and tracking. Another box will go tomorrow but that will be by sea. So much cheaper.
The hotel problem has been solved and I finished at the last school today. Now I just begin preparations for going home.

Now it looks like I'm going to have trouble booking a hotel. All the rooms in this town are booked for a sports festival.
Sadly, I've closed down the Yahoo Auction feeds as I don't think I could order anymore things to arrive in time before I leave.
