Note:<888>2/20/99 Saturday 11:00 P.M. EST: I went to bed about 10 A.M. this morning after relaxing. I was awaken by a call at 3 P.M.. I got up about 4:30 P.M. I had breakfast of GU oatmeal, toast, vitamins, orange and grapefruit juice, and coffee. I went out about 6 P.M.. I put $10 of gasoline in the car at Exxon. I paid a curtousy call on someone. I was advised that one local Tuxedo cat since it is not getting enough cat food is eating lots of Cardinals recently to supplement its appetite. I went downtown and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue twice viewing the evening dinners and movie goers. I chatted with one local about horses. I played a dollar quick pick and lost. I smoked a CVS Java factory made cigar. I noticed last night while looking in the Greenwich Country Day alumni manual last night, I noticed one alumnus is living out on Mercer Island in Microsoft Country, so there is obviously a connection from Greenwich to Microsoft Country. That particular alumnus use to have a younger brother that worked in Rockefeller Center, thus it only takes about 2 cents of common sense and a American Express credit card to figure out that the Harvard mafia still thinks it is running the country. Let me remind any Harvard alumni that one of the oldest alumni of the University use to live out on Peak Island off Portland, Maine and the Boston Brahmans take a dim view of those whom don't play the game by the rules. Thus the grass is always greener on the other side of the continent. Well here in Greenwich back east, I have noticed lots of visitors as usual, and I even noticed a familiar Russian wearing one of the those Russian lambs wool caps that are very popular in Red Square. Well with all the aviation personnel in the area, more of our traveling citizens are probably in warmer locations. I did noticed on the internet that one can fly to London on British Airways for about $120 each way on a round trip fare, so I guess some people whom are worried about Dingie fever might have crossed the Great Pond, to see what is happening in the Eastern Hemisphere. Well for us armchair travelers we make money off the traffic, no matter which way the wind blows; so I hope everyone is enjoying themselves and resting their dogs after lots of walking around in Manhattan. I noticed this evening that the cigar store across from the Greenwich train station sells Monte Cristo cigars for about $9, which are similar to Havana cigars that are commonly available at Dunhills in Canada. Well I suppose if one reads all the international media from around the globe on the internet, one will notice that there is a distinct lack of coverage from the Boston area, so I think it is easy to surmize that most of the conspirators are out of the Boston Cambridge area. Well enough of constant comment. Back to the net. CIO

Note:<888>2/20/99 Saturday 4:40 A.M. EST: I am finishing my email, and I also updated Scott's Weekly Broadcast sound.htm . Well back to the net. CIO

Note:<888>2/20/99 Saturday 2:50 A.M. EST: Dinner was delicious, I am having my coffee. For you computer enthusiasts, today Saturday and Sunday February 20 and 21, MarketPro http://www.marketpro.com is having one of those computer events at the Westchester County Center from 9:30 AM to 4 PM, where they have discounted merchandise from a wide variety of vendors, however if one needs to return any merchandise, it is usually quite a trip to the vendors' home bases of operation. Well I am limited on funds right now, so I won't be going myself, but I am sure for the eager consummers in the computer field, one will finds lots of needed items. Admission is $7 also. Well time for a little routine computer work. CIO

Note:<888>2/20/99 Saturday 2:05 A.M. EST: I went out this morning at 8 A.M. after doing my usual computer work. I stopped down on Steamboat Road and chatted with one of my former neighbors who had just returned from Peru. He was cold and not use to the cold weather. I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York and did some business. Somebody was there in a 25 year old white Cadillac that had a New York Worlds fair licensce plate on it. I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop and somebody was there in a green 1960s Oldsmobile station wagon. It was slow there in the morning, and not much going on. I stopped by the Greenwich Library and read the local paper. I checked out "Charles at 50". There is a Asian mosquito enchephalytis scare in the area, and a few of the critters have been trapped on Long Island around Brook Haven National Laboratory. I returned home and went to bed about 11 A.M.. I slept until about 6 P.M.. I had a telephone call from a family member that mention that the Delta Force has been doing some exercises. I had breakfast of GU oatmeal, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I relaxed for a while. I went out about 11 P.M. and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue twice. I chatted with a local walker. I noticed a few of the youngsters out and about the downtown area. I also drove down to the end of Steamboat Road twice. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought at $4.99 a pound a filet of salmon for $3.24, Post toasted oats and almonds for $2.99, a Stauffers Lasagna for $2.99, a Tombstone 3 cheese self rising pizza for $5.49, some tiny Spanish onions at .99 a pound for .46, asperagus at $1.99 a pound for $1.75 a red pepper at .99 a pound for .51 for a total of $17.43. I returned home and I am baking in wine and herbs the filet of salmon with baked potatoe, small onions, cauliflower, aperagus, olives, and red pepper which are just done now. I also updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>2/19/99 Friday 5:20 A.M. EST: I have been doing routine internet work while listening to Auntie B, "The BBC". I am pretty much all caught up with my routine work. Well I hope all of you 50,000 people a month using my various web sites, enjoy the internet activity. Although I am a high level user, more than likely the younger eager generation are a bit ahead of me, and regard me as the "Old Dinosaur" on the internet. Well to each his own. Have a good morning, I might be going out this A.M. for a few errands and then off to bed, but I still have until about 8:30 A.M. when the village merchants begin opening their various shops. Well what to do for the next three hours, maybe I will try taking a nap, but I am not really tired, but I don't feel up to chatting on Iphone, since I am in my usual quiet routine. I think it would be a good idea to have a all night radio talk show like the BBC, but I have a feeling there are lots of them here in the states, but having maintained a benign interest in the United Kingdom for years, I try to hear some of the local gossip. I basically feel like I have "Cabin Fever" having been inside the last day. A little bit of community networking will bring me back to reality. CIO

Note:<888>2/19/99 Friday 3:20 A.M. EST: I fixed a dinner of baked salmon steak, baked potatoe, baked onion in wine and herbs along with ice tea and coffee. I listened a bit of the BBC morning broadcast. I went out just now to throw out the fish remains, so it does not smell in the waste. It is brisk and cool out, and I smoked a White Owl panatella and enjoyed the breath of fresh air. Well back to the net. CIO

Note:<888>2/19/99 Friday 12:25 A.M. EST: Well I got http-analyze working on my local server Scott's, Greenwich, Connecticut Local Server Stats starting January 1, 1999, be sure to look at the small secondary internet explorer window to examine more detailed log statistics. I have to run the update from my home server, not over the internet, which is just as well since executables should not be allowed to be done remotely. Well time for routine work. CIO

Note:<888>2/18/99 Thursday 9:00 P.M. EST: I went to bed at 11 A.M. and was up at 6 P.M.. I recieved two phone calls while I was asleep. I had breakfast of GU oatmeal, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I watched the ABC evening news. I recieved a phone call at 7 P.M. from an older woman who said my telephone number had shown up on her caller ID. It was not me whom called. I went downstairs and chatted with one of my neighbors who had been to the Mohican Sun Casino in Eastern, Connecticut. He said they have Ringo Starr posters all over the Casino. I came upstairs and showered. I want to try to install http-analyze - Log analyzer for web servers on my web site this evening. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>2/18/99 Thursday 8:30 A.M. EST: Well I finished the Zmail. Time for a rest. CIO

Note:<888>2/18/99 Thursday 4:30 A.M. EST: I was up at 4 P.M. today. I had breakfast of GU oatmeal, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I started a partial C: drive to D: drive backup. I rested for a couple hours until 6 P.M. when the backup was finished. I started a partial backup to tape of all my music files and compressed files, which was not finished until about 4 A.M. on four tapes. I went out at 7 P.M. and stopped by the library and read the local paper and two computer news weeklies. That reminds me I have about ten back issues of Interactive Week I have to read when I have time. I checked my site on the library computer, and Scott's Apache Status http://24.228.18.154/server-status? comes up on their computer, so I will link it from my homepage, so the curious can follow my home servers present activity, mostly Beatles music, I hope Michael Jackson is not irritated since I believe he owns Apple Records rights to the music, but since the tunes are freely available on the internet, I have just made them more easily accessed. After the library I drove down Greenwich Avenue and to the bottom of Steamboat Road and then returned home to put in another tape. I stopped by the Grand Union on the way and bought a salmon steak at $2.99 a pound for $2.18, fifteen packs of various Ramen noodles for $3, and three half gallons of of Tree Ripe orange juice for $5 for all three. I also returned .85 cents in cans. The grocery bill came to $10.18 minus the cans. I returned home and put in the second tape. I started to watch a movie, but I decided to go out and enjoy the warm evening. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue twice. I smoked a CVS Java cigar in front of the senior center. I chatted with a local night time stroller. I also had some Ramen noodles before going out, and stopped by McDonalds for a $1.29 Big Mac. After walking the lower section of Greenwich Avenue, I drove down by the harbor. I returned home about 11:30 P.M. and put in the third tape. I watched a program on channel 89 about the history of Princeton University which was very well done. I last visited Princeton on Palm Sunday about eight years ago and toured the library there, and had dinner at the Old Inn downtown. I made a salad of Escerol lettuce, red pepper, onion, black olives, cauliflower, parmesian cheese, with Balsermic salad dressing. I watched the bigging of an Italian movie about St. Margaret. I finally finished the backup with the fourth tape. I will do a little internet work now before retiring. CIO

Note:<888>2/17/99 Wednesday 4:50 A.M. EST: Well I finally fixed the problem. There is a hidden file "index.dat" in the "C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5" folder. I removed the the System attribute with "attrib", and I then copied the hidden file "index.dat" to a backup folder. I then did a F8 safe boot to the command prompt, and deleted the file "index.dat" in the "C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5" folder and when I rebooted the system, the Real Audio program worked. What a hassle, back to normal. I think I will shut down for the night. CIO

Note:<888>2/17/99 Wednesday 3:10 A.M. EST: I was up at about 6 P.M. yesterday. I had breakfast of GU oatmeal, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I started working on the computer, and I noticed that my Real G2 Player does not play when I clip on a recording link, and I get this error, "Can not find the file 'C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\CLAZGDIB\"name of the file.ram"'(or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available." The error seems to have started after installing the @home update software 1.6 . I have tried reinstalling @home, internet explorer, Real 5, Real G2, Media Player, restoring the registry, restoring the system file directory refered to in the error message, all to no avail. I will have to go with out listening to audio files until I figure this out. I will call @home this morning when I am awake. Well not much accomplished today. I did update Scott's Index scopor01.htm . I also uninstalled the Microsoft Personal Server in trying to fix the audio problem. It has me stumped, since the hidden system files referred to are in their directory. Well time for some rest. CIO

Note:<888>2/16/99 Tuesday 5:00 A.M. EST: Well I am done with my routine internet work. I have been running the Apache server again for the last day since it support 50 streams, while the Microsoft Personal Server was running out of streams since it support 10 streams. I also figured out how to configure the the Apache Server so I can get server status from Scott's Apache Status http://24.228.18.154/server-status? from my machine. I don't think this works from another machine. The Apache instructions for doing this are wrong. One enables server status, and detailed reports, and the server permission, but the entry for detailed reports needs to be after the server permission, not at the beginning of the script. Anyone curious about this let me know. Well not much happening on the net, since yesterday was a holiday. I am pretty much back to routine. Well have an enjoyable morning, and for those of you whom are on vacation, we'll try to make sure the town is still here when you return. Well time to slow down and rest. CIO

Note:<888>2/15/99 Monday 10:50 P.M. EST: I was up at 6 P.M. today. I had breakfast of Kelloggs Meuslix, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I went out about 8 P.M., and since today was a holiday the library was closed. I stopped by and chatted with a retired electronics person who was repairing a bicycle about technology. It reminds me of the old days when working on a garage apartment in Long Island, I always went to Wright Brothers Hardware store for parts. As we all know, aviation had its roots with bicycle mechanics. I suggest using a swinging pivot instead of a sliding pivot when pulling a grocery cart behind the bicycle. I next walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue and smoked a White Owl panatella. It was very slow out, and the entire town looked like it had been evacuated. I returned back home via McDonalds and had two big Macs for $2.35. I told them one of the busiest McDonalds is outside Disney World, and I had seen a large one on the Champs Elysee in Paris. I now have to do my laundry and back to regular computer work. I am not sure if the stockmarket was open today, but my portfolio changed with tech stocks down quite a bit, look at Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well have a quiet evening. CIO

Note:<888>2/15/99 Monday 2:35 A.M. EST: I went to bed at about 6 A.M.. I awoke at 3 P.M. and had breakfast of Kelloggs Mueslix, toast, vitamins, coffee, and orange juice. I chatted with a family member. I went back to bed until 6:30 P.M.. I chatted with another family member. I cleaned my apartment and watered the plants until about 10:30 P.M.. I made a large mixed salad with escerol lettuce, red pepper, green pepper, mushrooms, chopped bacon, two chopped hard boiled eggs, Bermuda onion, and parmesian cheese with Basermic dijon mustard. After what happened to be Monday with putting ransid chopped garlic on my steak and not cooking the ransid garlic too well, I guess ransid garlic makes and excellent laxative. I went out about 11:15 P.M. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat Road and viewed the harbor. I drove over to CVS at the Riverside Plaza and bought a carton of Swiser Sweets light little cigars for $13.96. I chatted with the all night pharmacist there for a while. I noticed that somebody had run over a bag in the plaza parking lot and broken open a gallon of white paint and a few other items were lying there. I found a bottle of low sodium premium soy sauce. I next drove downtown and stopped by the Greenwich Harbor Inn to use the restroom. I chatted a while with the regular night clerk. I also chatted with a couple of tan gals whom had just gotten back from a stay at the Holiday Inn in Jamaica. The said they flew Air Jamaica and had a delightful stay. They said that they heard Jamaica is running out of Bauxite. I told them a bit about my Carribean visits. Two night ago I had chatted with somebody returning from the Hague who was Hungarian, and a fellow from Johanisburg, South Africa also. I guess Greenwich continues to be an international community. I returned to the center of town. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue smoking a JAVA CVS cigar. There were a few people exiting the Dome restaurant and Sundown Saloon and Thataways. NOAA radio said it is in the low 20s to high teens. I was wearing my long underwear, so it was not to bad out. I returned via Cumberland Farms and bought a gallon of milk for $2.89. The fellow from India was irritated there because a young Hispanic fellow has been stealing merchandise there for the last few nights. I returned home and started making a batch of icetea.htm . Well another cold bleak night in Greenwich with not much to report. Pretty much the same old routine. My cable modem has been blinking constantly with all the people downloading Beatles music. Well back to the net, have a good morning. CIO
