Watched an Indonesian film Eliana tonight. It is a gritty look into the backstreets of Jakarta. A mother comes looking for her daughter. The daughter rebelliously looks for her roommate who has disappeared. The mother, daughter and a taxi driver spend the night wandering around the city. It was an OK film but nothing spectacular. The credits indicate that it has been influential on the development of films in that part of the world. That may be so but the film doesn't seem to have that sort of breakthrough cache. Might be so!

Dreamed last night that I was authoring a set of puzzles for a class of students. I was creating various kinds of puzzles and trying to hone down their set up and descriptions. Someone was reviewing my work and giving me suggestions on how to make them clear and challenging. I was scheduled to give the puzzles to the class soon and I was working to get them ready.

Google has changed its news page again. They have implemented a hideous new interface that makes it difficult to just view the news highlights. The feedback has been hugely unfavorable. They had a perfectly workable interface already. The new one sucks!
