02/23/25 Sunday 8:45 P.M.  Dutch news https://hollandsociety.org/

A Secret Gilded Age Library Rooted in 17th-Century New York. A secret library belongs to the Holland Society of New York, a historical and genealogical society founded in 1885 that documents the legacy of North America's earliest Dutch settlers. Sarah Bogart Cooney, the society's Executive Director, will lecture on its Grotius Collection of books, tucked away at Columbia University. The tomes were purchased in 1890 by Robert Barnwell Roosevelt, a Holland Society member and ex-Minister to the Hague, from Bom and Bom Book Dealers in Amsterdam. The collection is rich in first editions, including 17th-century publications by the eminent Elzevir dynasty of printers. Since 1901, the books have been on deposit in Columbia's Rare Book and Manuscript Library: a ghost collection with no presence in Columbia's library catalogue. Recent efforts by the Holland Society and Columbia librarians have brought new exposure to this collection, and collaboration has begun to rescue them from "the oblivion of their present situation.

02/01/25 Saturday 6:55 A.M.   Back in mid April 1978, when John Bolton and myself first hitchhiked out of Key West, we tried to hike the Appalachian Trail from Ashville, North Carolina; but we only lasted four days until it started to snow.  There were bear warning signs all over the trail too.  We hitchhiked down to Hilton Head, South Carolina, and after camping out at the beach one night, there were tracks of a fourteen foot alligator outside of our tent.  We then hitchhiked to Beaufort, South Carolina, and we camped out on another beach, and that morning there were about a thousand young Marines from Paris Island having a beach party.  We then got a ride hitchhiking back to Key West with Jimmy Buffet.  At the first of May 1978, we go out food stamps, and then we hitchhiked to Washington D.C., and caught the Amtrak to Stamford, Connecticut, where we stayed with a relative in Byram for a couple of days.  We then hitchhiked back to Cape Cod and caught the ferry to Nantucket.  I had money then, because I had gotten a $2,000 income tax return from my job at Daniel construction in 1976.  Out on Nantucket, we stayed at 31 India Street, where I stayed the summer before.  It was like a work house with lots of beds in each room for $5 a night, and one could work minimum wage jobs to survive.  I went back to work at Le Languedoc as a dishwasher pot scrubber for $2.15 an hour, and John worked at Cumberland Farms.  In the daytime, we also work on painting an old expensive house on Lincoln Avenue overlooking the cliff overlooking the beach.  We also work for Mr. Seward the head attorney for Bethlehem Steel restoring the bluff on the north side of his house.  There is a book called, "How to Hold up a Bank," about how to restore a sand dune bank, which if not done properly, the house will fall into the ocean.  In October 1978, I bought the $150 1971 used Subaru from Dillon, Colorado; and after putting a new clutch in the car myself, we left Nantucket on our first venture across country.  In the Philadelphia area, where I was having the exhaust welded, the car radio said the new Pope had died, and when we were first exploring the old mission at Santa Barbara, the car radio told us about the new Pope John Paul II.  John Bolton's father's family were from one of the oldest families in Philadelphia the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadwalader_family that started the first medical university in America.

02/01/25 Saturday 6:15 A.M.  Off Amazon Prime, I watched series 2 episode 6 of, "Secrets of the Historic Britain."

I will now go outside again into the cold tundra of North America.  Even though Key West, Florida might be warmer in the winter, they have tropical pests like six inch long palmetto bugs with lots of legs.  Also the Everglades north of Key West are full of big alligators, so some might sneak down into the Florida keys.

02/01/25 Saturday 5:25 A.M.  I channel surfed.  I went outside, and I drank an instant coffee.

In reading the history on the Walton family of Wal-Mart, I once read the Walton family were driving in upstate New York and saved members of the Rockefeller family from drowning, because they had a canoe on their car, so the Rockefellers made them wealthy.  Also once the Rockefellers invested in Swiss Dairy cows on their estate in North Tarrytown, but that was not profitable, so the younger generation setup computer operations in the old dairy barn there.  With their money it is probably a pretty elaborate computer setup.  Once when I drove over to the Rockefeller state park on the back side of the estate, there was a big www.ibm.com building at the end of the highway by the state park, so they probably were already connected with IBM.  From what I know the Rockfeller family are connected with Chase J.P. Morgan, Citicorp, and the Bank of New York; so maybe those banks use IBM to run their banking operations.  A firewall from IBM used to cost ten thousand dollars, so IBM is not cheap.

I have been to West Point for graduation a few times, and once during the Clinton administration I saw Defense Secretary Perry speak, and he told all the military there they should be on the internet, which I guess they are now.  General Winfield Scott is also buried at West Point, so they know whom he was.

02/01/25 Saturday 4:10 A.M.  As a matter of dispute, five star general Dwight David Eisenhower was the President of Columbia University after World War II before he became President of the United States.  Also General MacArthur also lived in Manhattan at the Waldorf Towers.  Also during the Civil War, General Winfield Scott the Secretary of Defense had a mansion in Manhattan that took up a whole block at 86th Street and Park Avenue, so the Scott family are an old political family.  Also in 1975, three United States Senators from Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina were from the Scott family.  The Scott family is still out there in the wood work of America doing whatever they do.  They have been here a long time.  In the Social Register for Manhattan, the Scott family were the most common names on Park Avenue too.

I ate four White Castle cheeseburger sliders and a glass of Poland Spring water.

I will now go outside again.  There must not be much food in the local woods, so the local wolf population seems to have gone down in my area.

02/01/25 Saturday 3:40 A.M.  I went through http://scott-mike.com/bf.htm .

I will now go outside into the usual cloudy night with no stars.  One of the few smart people that used to talk to me at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop with the first name John volunteered at the local astronomy club, and he had also taught physics at www.columbia.edu  for fifty years and had a PHD in physics from Harvard.  He told me I was wasting my time with the internet, when I first started on it, but I had nothing else that I could afford to do on my limited income.

02/01/25 Saturday 3:15 A.M.   In the summer of 1983, when I last worked at Le Languedoc restaurant as a $8.75 an hour head dishwasher, one of the owner's son had an Apple computer that he did the restaurant paper work on.  I think his name was Jimmy too, but he was very protective of the only computer that I saw way out on Nantucket.  When I went to the last Microsoft conference in Manhattan in February 2008, I took my own baloney sandwich for lunch, but Microsoft must have had more money, because they gave away about fifty chicken sandwiches for the five hundred people there most of whom were young students.  At lunch time the two young blond boys in front of me in the back row took out big red apples to eat.  They had a bit of the Roosevelt family look, so maybe they were checking out things for Apple.  Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his biography did not write he was a lawyer from www.harvard.edu but he was an apple farmer from Hyde Park, New York.  I have been told the Roosevelt family still have money, but they are saving it for the next generation.  It was their money that started the Bank of New York from Elihu Roosevelt, and the Delano family still live nearby in Bedford, New York.  One of FDR's grandsons also lives nearby in Darien, Connecticut, and he helped start the Norwalk Aquarium.

02/01/25 Saturday 2:40 A.M.  Computer Associates and Windows magazine used to be out there on Long Island.  Also the Cold Spring National laboratory is out there on Long Island.  When one ventures out to the pier on Steamboat Road in Greenwich, one can see a lot of light on all night out there across the way in Long Island near Oyster Bay, so they are doing something out there all night long.  The last time I was on Long Island was about fifteen years ago, when I flew in to the JFK terminal from Florida on United out of Hartsdale in Atlanta.  The second to the last time I was way out on Long Island was when I went to the Microsoft Conference in Hauppauge, Long Island around the winter of 2007.  It was at the Hyatt Hotel there, and I saw lots of starving vegan students from the State University of New York in Stonybrook https://www.stonybrook.edu/ .  There was one white man there whom was about six feet wide and six feet tall, so I thought he might have been Hyatt Security or Microsoft Security.  The free meal was popcorn.  At the last two Microsoft conferences, they gave us free software, which is why I ventured a long distance.  At the first two Microsoft conferences at the Sheraton Hotel in nearby Stamford, Connecticut; we were supposed to get a free word processor, but all they gave us was a black and grey BIC pen that said Microsoft on it.  I think I still have the free copy of Microsoft Office 2007 that I got at the last conference in Manhattan in February 2008, but I do not have the Vista 2007 copy I got out on Long Island.  Living around a lot of www.ibm.com rejects, it keeps me busy minding my own business.  A relative used to know the former President of  IBM that we sat with on the beach many times in Kennebunk, Maine.  He now works for Michael Bloomberg last I knew.  Before becoming the President of IBM, he had fifty thousand people working for him in IBM in Japan.  He and Michael Bloomberg both went to Johns Hopkins University https://www.jhu.edu/ .  I have one friend in this area that served at Fort Dietrich, Maryland and another friend in Delaware that lives near there.

I will now go outside again.

02/01/25 Saturday 1:45 A.M.  Back in the summers of 1968 and 1969 when I worked as a research photographer at Polaroid on Osborne Street next to www.mit.edu , I was not allowed to talk to anyone about my work.  Nearby at Technology Square, they did have the backup computers for NASA though.  They were probably trying to figure out at MIT what Polaroid was doing.  In 1970 in the summer, I worked construction on the waterfront in Boston and also at the new Polaroid film factory on Interstate 128.  In the summer of 1971, I worked at that same film plant writing COBOL for a spread sheet with IBM manuals, the programs ran on an IBM 360.  I was now allowed to use them, but we had teletype machines that might have been part of ARP that ran at 300 baud.  So technically I have been around the internet since the summer of 1971.  That winter of 1972, when I went to Europe, I took a Polaroid 180 camera and Polaroid film, so I was just a photographer again.  Polaroid did sell a lot of black and white ASA 3000 instant film to the French Nuclear agency for oscilloscope tracing.  Peter Bolton out at Port Washington, Long Island was supposed to be a software engineer for the State Department, but I never saw any computer stuff in his house.  He did have a book from the Mechanics Library in the Chelsea area of Manhattan.  When I visited the University of California at Santa Cruz in the fall of 1979, they had desktop computers that ran Fortran OS.

I will now go outside again and drink an instant coffee.

02/01/25 Saturday 12:55 A.M.  I will now go outside again.

02/01/25 Saturday 12:45 A.M.  When I built the garage apartment from April 1982 to February 1983 out at Plandome Manor, Long Island in the same neighborhood as Mr. Grumman's house, I had to go to the Rickle Home repair center on Northern Boulevard in Glencoe.  Just east of it on Northern Boulevard is the New York Institute of Technology https://www.nyit.edu/ which has a very nice campus that I explored a couple of times.  However, it might have been Post College https://post.edu/ or maybe they were just near each other.
