I chatted with a British Citizen at the embassy today, and I suggested that in
the old days when they made Raleigh bicycles, they used to have a small
generator on the back that rotated off the rear tire to provide electricity for
the night running lights. I suggested that they probably make them
somewhere in the commonwealth. He said they were called
"Dynamos". Here are some links on the subject

happening with my computer server. I keep many redundant

childish individual is using my server to practice their hacker skills, however
it is the nature of my position in the community, and my internet presence that

it seems that someone over rode the motion detection camera and is still gaining

Once all of the items were cooked about the same time, I put half the rice in

the town government and other municipal services, and leave everyone to fend for
themselves. Alas, from what I can tell from the media, the

Carolina for the first six months of 1976, I lived next to the C.B.S. news
station which also was one of the first cablevision stations coming out of
Atlanta, Georgia, when Ted Turner was still selling highway advertising road
signs, and at the time everyday, I drove to work, I drove by the Greenville,
South Carolina sheriffs office with about two hundred sheriff's cars, so more
than likely somebody in that area knew something about the Irish travelers.
We only got three television stations back then, so like today, we were not use
to watching much television, since all it does is try to sell soap.
Proctor and Gamble owns most of the soap operas, and as I recall Helen Kress

A.M.: Back in the good old days, when President Bush was first
president, we use to have Dorothy Bush's caddy from Hobe Sound, Florida sleeping
outside around Greenwich, Connecticut at night, and since he always carried a
100 pound duffle bag, he was a fairly powerful man, but we have not seen him in
a couple of years, so he is probably still caddying on the P.G.A. golf tour.
Of course, there are always kids moving around this area at night, since they
tend to work jobs in the evening, and then spend a little down time out and
about after midnight. We have some local colleges such at Suny
Purchase, which also have a few youngster prowling around this area to see what
is happening, and I suppose occasionally some of the cadets from West Point
venture over here, because of all of the golf courses we have in this town.
It is the nature of the United States Army that they tend to walk a lot, so
anywhere there are a lot of golf courses, more than likely there is somebody
from the United States Army in the vicinity. However, if I happen to
be in the United States Army, they are a communist organization, because I do
not recall having been paid since 1968, thus they would owe me a lot of money.
Of course Lake Forest College besides being just north of Fort Sheridan, which
at my time was in charge of all of the recruiting for the United States Army,
and a fairly secure location with golf course and 500 pound plus master
sergeants, it was also south of Great Lakes Navy Medical Center with about
50,000 U.S. Navy personnel. Thus as a local observer in the
nearby college, I worked in the bank two years, and I also drove a taxi for two
years while in college. To drive a taxi in Lake Forest, Illinois,
one has to be fingerprinted, and the fingerprints are put on file with the FBI,
so my fingerprints have been on file with the FBI, since about 1970.
Of course when I was born, they also did my baby foot prints, so I am a fairly
well documented individual. Speaking of found property on
Greenwich Avenue, this past morning, I found a nickel, but one usually does not
see much spare change or bills around Greenwich Avenue because of all of the
pedestrian traffic. I took three large eggs, and I
broke them in a mixing bowl, and I added a couple of tablespoons of grated
parmesan cheese and a couple of tablespoons of milk and a couple of teaspoons of
olive oil and few dashes of Italian seasoning, and I whisked it all together.
I put three paper towels on a microwave proof dinner plate and then seven strips
of regular bacon and two more paper towels and the plastic microwave plate
cover, and I put it in the microwave, and I set the timer for four minutes.
I put two pieces of bread in the toaster. I then took a 10 inch
stick proof frying pan, and I added few tablespoons of olive oil, and I turned
on the electric burner to medium high, once the oil began to get hot, I added
the egg mixture and lower the electric burner heat to medium, and I started the
bacon in the microwave oven, and I started the toast. Once the eggs were
about half cooked, I used a spatula, and I slid the cooked part off the bottom
of the pan to let the liquid part cook some more. About the time the
bacon was done, the eggs and toast were done. I mixed the eggs a
little bit towards the end to scramble them medium soft. I put the
hot skillet briefly on a dinner plate to warm it, and then I put the eggs on the
plate along with the bacon and toast. I put olive oil on the toast,
and I cut the two pieces in half. I ate it all with a glass of iced
tea. I suppose since I have a full belly, I could shut down
the primary computer, and I could shower and clean up, and I go out on the usual
Mountain Lion patrol. I became aware of Mountain Lions, when I use
to camp out by Ronald Reagan's ranch in the hills above Santa Barbara,
California, and when I use to camp out in Florida, I use to see pretty much the
same cat called a Florida Panther, and I had the experience of some sort of cat
jumping on the roof of my Volvo about 7 years ago out by the reservoir by Lowell
Weicker's former house before he moved to the Virgin Islands never to be seen
again. However, I do see his license plates around town, but I
never recognize many members of his family, since they tend not to be as tall as
he is. Among the local political groups, they seem to think he is still in
charge in this area, but the last I knew he was living quietly in retirement,
but I think he still has a legal practice in this area, since by profession he
is a lawyer. However, I actually do have work to do at home, so I doubt if
I will be going out. I am so far behind in my computer and
internet activity with all of the system's maintenance that I have been having
to do recently, I am having a hard time remembering some of my normal internet
activities, which I use to keep busy with all of the time. Most of
the time it was reading various technology news articles, and my shortlist was
posted at
Scott's Daily Work
List Links . Thus I do not really need to taking an exercise
walk, when I have plenty of work to do at home. From what I can tell
that group of con artists known as the Irish Travelers from Murphyville, South
Carolina are probably working this area again like they seem to do every year at
this time, and it seems they might have become more high tech and be pursuing
some sort of internet fraud. CIO

weeks back in 1971, I returned with my family flying into J.F.K. airport

Peru, so maybe he would know some more. I recall when I threw
the Kentucky Derby Party on the Farm back in 1971, Brian did not show up, and
nobody won the Derby bet that year, since a horse named Canonaro from Peru won
that year. It was suppose to be a strong runner, since in the
heights of Peru, the air is thinner. Thus the Derby Party broke
even, it did not show a profit at $5 a head with all that you can drink in terms
of beer, wine, and good quality alcohol and mixers. I recall buying
up all the mint in the town of Lake Forest at the gourmet food store, and the
rest of the town was quite upset, I think it cost me about $40 for a case size
tray of mint. One the visitors showed me something interesting about
the manure out by the barn during the derby party, it had about a quarter of an
acre of mint growing in it, so it was one of those cases of God's Little Acre of
looking for what is in one's back yard. Alas, the Farm
http://mikelouisscott.com/photo/mike-scott-the-farm-illinois-1970.jpg is no
longer there, but at 12 cents a gallon for heating oil back then, it was quite
warm and comfortable on those cold nights in Illinois. One of the room
mates from Minnesota use to keep his room at about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, while
one roommate from Connecticut moved out after a few months, because there was no
heat on the sun porch, where he was trying to sleep at a lesser cost.
That is his green MG in the picture, and I guess since his name was David Field
from Fairfield, Connecticut, he is probably fairly wealthy old guard Yankee
today. One of the roommates was the step son of Robert Wagner, the former
mayor of Manhattan, and the son Bennett Cerf a well know publisher with the name
Barry Cerf. Another roommate was Tim McMurray a local genius from
Lake Forest, whom died in a fire in Miami, Florida when working as a social
worker, and one of his clients killed him. Another roommate was from
Detroit named Doug Turner, whom joined the Navy. The roommate
from Minnesota was Skip Benson, and his family were wealthy in the Commodities
Business. Of course, I frequently missed some of my classes, because
I was busy running the Farm, and also working local jobs around Lake Forest,

went by the Greenwich Automotive Service Exxon gasoline station, and I bought
$34 of premium unleaded gasoline at $3.459 a gallon for 155.7 miles driving
since the first of the month at 16 miles per gallon averaging 13 miles per hour.
I then drove back downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue

I stopped by Starbucks, and I told them with the increased price of gasoline,
they should raise coffee by about 50%. I stopped by the
Greenwich Taxi, and I told them the same thing, but they told me their rates are
controlled. There are quite a few vacant stores on Greenwich
Avenue. I notice the custom made soap store just north of CVS
is laboratory animal friendly. I drove down by the waterfront on
Steamboat Road, and I chatted with a yacht club employee from Guatemala.
I let my car run about 20 minutes while chatting with him to charge up the car
battery. I then returned back to my apartment. I got out
some of my car supplies from underneath the sideboard in the bedroom.
In the leather bag, I put in a car spot light and a car light bulb both with
cigarette lighter plugs. I also brought them down to the car along with a
half gallon of Prestone antifreeze. I put about a pint of antifreeze
in the coolant overflow container, since the lower coolant light was coming on,
and I used a funnel that I brought down. I also put those items in

P.M.: I took three large eggs, and I
broke them in a mixing bowl, and I added a couple of tablespoons of grated
parmesan cheese and a couple of tablespoons of milk and a couple of teaspoons of
olive oil and few dashes of Italian seasoning, and I whisked it all together.
I put three paper towels on a microwave proof dinner plate and then six strips
of regular bacon and two more paper towels and the plastic microwave plate
cover, and I put it in the microwave, and I set the timer for four minutes.
I put two pieces of bread in the toaster. I then took a 10 inch
stick proof frying pan, and I added few tablespoons of olive oil, and I turned
on the electric burner to medium high, once the oil began to get hot, I added
the egg mixture and lower the electric burner heat to medium, and I started the
bacon in the microwave oven, and I started the toast. Once the eggs were
about half cooked, I used a spatula, and I slid the cooked part off the bottom
of the pan to let the liquid part cook some more. About the time the
bacon was done, the eggs and toast were done. I mixed the eggs a
little bit towards the end to scramble them medium soft. I put the
hot skillet briefly on a dinner plate to warm it, and then I put the eggs on the
plate along with the bacon and toast. I put olive oil on the toast,
and I cut the two pieces in half. I ate it all with a glass of iced
tea.
I did my house cleaning and watering the plants. I threw out the
garbage and some old periodical literature. I chatted with two
friends. This afternoon during housecleaning, I also took a
three hour nap. I made and ate
Michael Louis Scott's Pork and Beans
with franks . For the hotdogs, I used a drained 2 ounce tin of
Armour Vienna sausages that I cut into quarter inch thick slices and for the
beans, I used a 16 ounce can of Bush's baked beans. Today is
Earthday Network , so I am not driving my
car, and I am too tired to go out now anyway. I also reinstalled Microsoft

A.M.: I called up the British Embassy in Washington D.C. this past
evening to wish Queen Elizabeth II Happy Birthday, and it was strange the person
answering the telephone was from Iraq. I just finished doing my
laundry. I took the electric blanket off the bed and the heavy
winter comforter, and I put them in their plastic holders on the left side of
the bedroom closet shelf. I put the light summer weight medium
blue blanket on the bed and the pink and green floral pattern quilt on the bed,
so now it is set up for warmer weather. I did two loads of
laundry, and I put the clean clothes away. From my personal half
Dutch point of view, cleanliness is next to godliness, so since the computers
are running fine, I am going to do my routine house cleaning this morning.
It does not use energy like driving the car, and since I spend more time in my
apartment with the higher prices of fuel, it is important to keep a clean
orderly apartment. According to the Greenwich Post, premium unleaded
gasoline is up to $3.269 a gallon. The retired banker I saw going
into Manhattan on the train on Thursday evening is from a well known oil family,
so if he is taking the train, I think other people should think about using the
train and saving energy. I still have my older
Schwinn bicycle here, but although it is
older and it does work just fine, at this point I can not afford the parts to
keep it running properly on a regular basis. To use it at
night one needs reflectors, and at the moment, there is still too much
automobile traffic around here. I also do not have spare tires or
tubes. However, I think I am in good enough shape to ride it
after walking up and down Greenwich Avenue all of these years. I
actually enjoy walking a lot, so I might simply walk downtown later today after
doing my house cleaning. I run my apartment like I were living in my
mother's home and not in some hippie crash pad. CIO

A.M.: I woke up at 9 P.M., and I chatted with a relative, a friend,

dealing with is some sort of "Cyberterrorism". My friend in
Manhattan told me a lot of their friends in Manhattan have been having computer
problems. Thus it is more widespread than me locally.
I ate
breakfast of oatmeal with a sliced banana, two slices of toast with olive oil,
orange juice with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with splenda and
milk. I showered, and I cleaned up. I went back to bed until 3 A.M.
I was able to get FTP to work between the two computers by changing the IP
address for FTP, and it now works. However, to get the
web to work off my server, I now have to enable Advanced Configuraton
DynamicDNS. However, for the moment everything is working just
fine. I will do some of my regular computer routines, after I
wash the breakfast dishes. However, before I make my
bed, I also have to do laundry. In my world unlike hacker's worlds,
house cleaning and maintenance comes first before routine computer
activities. CIO
Note:<888>
04/21/06 Friday 12:55
P.M.: I do not pay attention to what goes on in this area.
For all I know they have some sort of security event going on, but from what I
can tell, I heard briefly on MSNBC this morning, that a number of gasoline
stations in the Northeast are Out of Gasoline. I guess with the war
effort going on and what ever modest level of propaganda, we are able to
maintain in this modern world, it looks like you ain't going anywhere with your
American Express card, except to maybe the sneaker store. I tried
restoring my backup on the server, and deleting the server partition and
restoring the server partition information, but I still can not FTP between the
primary and the server computers, so I have to transfer files manually.
Whatever, the case the new IP address that appeared on my server seems to be
connected with the motherboard LAN. I can change it back manually to
the old IP address, which I have forgotten or another IP address, but for now I
will not worry about it. Basically, although it is only set up
for transfering between the primary and the server computer, from what I can
tell with the constant hacking skills that appear in IBM's back yards, anything
could happen with these systems as the Fifth Columnists try to disrupt the area,
before they hope to take over. I will warn these simple minded
individuals the Old Guard tends to come north around the End of May for events
like graduation at West Point, and it is the nature of their military
connections, they tend not to run out of fuel. Since the two
most frequent users of my web site tend to be out of Waterbury, Connecticut and
Beverly Hills, California, maybe what we're dealing with is a couple of actors
killing time. Waterbury, Connecticut is where Timex watch
company is, and brass companies. However, I think Timex is a
Norwegian Company. Since the people are use to taking advantage of
my hospitality at the expense of my time, I have had to advise people to simply
ignore them, and to let them fend for themselves. It does not seem
they have any interest in computers, and the information they can provide, and
that they are more interested in disrupting communications. We
have so many different types of communications anymore, I tend to ignore most of
it. I already have received another harassing telephone call
from a person pretending to be a policeman. I was advised by the
local police they do not randomly call up residents. I think
since it is warmer in this area, we have that group of carnival type people
coming out of the south trying to pull off their usual con games.
With modern criminal investigation methods, I think the government is now
rounding up their families back where they really live and watching their
traffic pattern at the moment. I will now shut down the computer,
and I will go to bed soon. CIO

I do not have time to do it this morning. The web server works, but
the FTP between the two servers does not work. One employee at

together, and I explained I never network my computers together, because I do
not like enabling "File and Print Sharing". I just simply FTP
between the primary work computer and the server. Whatever, the
Server was messed up, but I was able to fix that with a System Restore, so the
web server works for now. I will have to manually transfer the files
between the primary computer, and the server. If local
political activists are involved in messing up my computer operations, more than
likely they have bothered other people with more influence, which could make
their short stays in this area even shorter. I tend to
take the long term approach. I enjoyed the period away from
computers in the 1970s, when
www.ibm.com was
left to live in Russia. Stock brokers were lucky to make $20 a day as bus
boys, and most anyone whom had assets to survive on learned the simple joys of
gardening. It always seems that when I go out to my Thursday
appointment, somebody messes up my computer activity. It seems they
still gain access to my apartment and are avoiding the motion detection cameras
stealthfully. Whatever, the case it seems to me there is no real
purpose, other than they are so ignorant, they are not aware of commonly
available information available for reading to the general public in most large
libraries. This might imply they are first generation immigrants or
illegal aliens. Whatever, the case the net result of having my
computer systems constantly tampered with, means that I can spend time on other
equally important activities. Thus more than likely, I might not
have time to do my usual house cleaning later on today, until after I fix the
FTP feature between the two computers. I have given up on
exercise walking and most of my regular routines with the downtown local
Greenwich population, which mainly seems to be a HELL bent group of Catholics
whom really do not like more dour protestants. From my viewpoint, if
they are so intent to keep messing up simple ordinary computer systems, they
must be up to more mischief in the general population. They
claim to be wealthy, but all they seem to be clever at is screwing up things.
Since the IBM family name is on the Greenwich Hospital, and since the computer
constantly get screwed up in this area around the Greenwich Hospital and ibm, it
leads me to believe the IBM, Harriman, Kennedy, Roosevelt, Watson families in
this area are conducting an open campaign of sabotage against ordinary citizens
going about ordinary routines, since they are not willing to pay some sort of
political graft to their political machine. I guess that would be
the same for the former Clinton group nearby whom are always lingering around
this area. Since this building where I intend to live the rest of my
life is about 20 democrats, and 6 republicans, and 30 first generation
immigrants whom do not really give a dam, it could be pretty much anyone causing
the problems. The hacking problems do not show any special computer
expertise, it shows a pattern of willing misconduct and mischief and neglect of
other people's personal activity. Thus since I have made
mention of this in my notes many times, it would seem to me, those individuals
whom look into such patterns of behavior, and whom have a larger over all
picture in terms of the general population probably know a lot more.
Since I have already invested my time and money in this technology over the last
16 years, I am stuck using it. However, if I were an
organization or government with a lot more cheap labor than technology, I would
not use these systems, since they are not very secure, and any grade school
student seems to be able to mess them up. Basically in computers,
you get what you pay for. In the world of computers, the systems I
use compared to more advanced systems, is sort of like having somebody steal
your hub caps off your Volkswagen. If somebody tried the same tricks
that they do with my systems on more advanced systems, more than likely they
would end up making license plates during their spare time. I am
bored with this exercise in dealing with the stupidity of the local population.
However, even during World War II, there were individuals whom would read the
letters of typewriter ribbons. It is the nature of my position in
this community that anyone bothering my computer system would more than likely
be a foreign agent, and as such in times of war, they would be subject to
espionage charges or deportation. It does not matter whom they know,
"THE LAW IS THE LAW". I will now shut down the primary computer, and
I will go to bed soon. On a minor note, we also had a briefl
Power Failure this evening. Also with some of the local Italian
residents whom might be involved with local Mafia, the United States Government
has continually deported many of them over the years, no matter how much time,
they have spent in this country. It seems to me, that their sports
orientated perspective of America does not match up with the American judicial
system. CIO

A.M.: After the last
message, I tried to sleep without any success. Earlier I put the tea in
the refrigerator to become iced tea. I ate two scoops of Friendly's Maple
Walnut ice cream. I then eventually feel asleep about 7 A.M.,
after watching some vintage television including part of a David Niven movie
where he acts as a jewel thief when he was younger. Around
this retirement home, we get some movie on the Turner movie channel that predate
William G. Griffith. The next time they show "Birth of a Nation", I
will let you know. William G. Griffith got the British Royal family

Celebrating The Queen's

Mountbatten visited America about the time the moving picture industry got
started in California, and he returned with a home movie camera after meeting
William G. Griffith, and ever since then they have not been very publicity shy
unlike other more reclusive Royal families whom can not afford to put mine
fields around their private properties to keep away poachers.
Thus if you visit them unannounced are just drop in, you might become poached
eggs, if you get my drift. Of course one Emperor of Chi
