A FriendsofPaule Twitter feed
Jul 30th, 2009 by Perry
I am pleased to report that Paul is back in his apartment as of July 20th and he is adapting to his new schedule and that of the various caregivers who come by as many as five times a day for one reason or another, to bring meals, to do speech therapy with him, to take care of any other needs he may have. In addition. the two Bachmann sisters, who have lived in that same building with Paul since he returned to Berlin and took that apartment in 1995, are also looking in on him and Maxe regularly.
And yes, in answer to the many inquires you have made about Maxe’s whereabouts and whether he and Paule were together again, they are.
There have been some delays in getting Paul’s TV service restarted and during his recovery his T-Online.de account was closed, but Paul told me that Dr. Moeller who visited him yesterday assures him those things are in the works. When he gets a new ISP therefore, he will have a new email address. However, he still has a Gmail account and can at least receive email at Texas dot Paule at Gmail dot com. Be patient if you write him however, since it may be a while before he’s able to answer your messages, and I find it a major challenge to keep up with his email and my own.
I’m cross-posting portions of this entry from my own personal blog to this one because this one has many more readers than mine and because you, the readers of this blog, are the audience that the new FriendsofPaule Twitter feed is intended to reach and inform. So if you are on Twitter and want to receive progress reports about Paul by all means begin following that feed.
I chose the name “Paul’s amanuensis” for that feed because that is the role I intend to play. I will attempt to relate what Paul wants me to convey to the group so that he isn’t burdened with having to learn the technology in order to communicate with you. The following screen shot shows the first few “tweets” in the window of Twhirl, an application I use for logging into and managing multiple Twitter accounts at the same time.
If you don’t know what Twitter is, this short video will help to remedy that.
If you have any questions or comments, please ask or make them in the comments section.
Update: If you’ll notice in the sidebar at the right, you can see the last five tweeted messages from the FriendsofPaule feed here on the blog. Therefore you don’t have to join Twitter, if you haven’t already, just to be able to see this microblogging feed about Paul. Every time you load this page, you’ll see the five most recent tweets displayed right here.
