Note:<888>06/14/00 Wednesday 3:45 P.M. EDT: Well I had breakfast. I also chatted with a local investigator on computer matters. I put the Diamond Stealth Video Card on Slot 1 IRQ 3, with "Assign IRQ to PCI Video" in the CMOS. I left the SoHo Lan card on Slot 3 IRQ 9. The system now shuts down correctly. It leaves the Windows 98 screen instead of the shutdown screen, but when one reboots it boots up properly. Well I also did the C: Drive to D: drive backup. I guess I can clean up and go out and try to see if anyone wants the old computer equipment. Well have a good afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>06/14/00 Wednesday 1:55 P.M. EDT: I went to bed at 4 A.M.. I was up at about 11 A.M.. Instead of having breakfast first, I reinstalled the Diamond Stealth Video driver, and I then went ahead and reinstalled Windows 98 again. The system is all running fine, and I will now do a C: drive to D: drive backup. I will have breakfast of three soft boiled eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice and Perrier, and vitamins. I will then go out and try to donate the old computer equipment and get some fresh air. Well have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>06/14/00 Wednesday 1:25 A.M. EDT: I went to bed on Tuesday morning about 2 A.M.. I spent most of Monday evening and Tuesday evening doing some routine computer work. I backed up the C: drive to the D: drive again. I had some speghetti sauce and noodles with iced coffee for dinner. I rolled some cigarettes with my pipe tabacco mixture which I gournd up more finely in the CuisineArt, so it is more like cigarette tabacco. I was up about 10:30 A.M. on Tuesday morning. I had three soft boiled eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice and Perrier, and vitamins. I turned the air conditioner to Energy saving at night, and I raise the temperature to 75 to 78 degrees Farenheit on these cooler nights. On Tuesday, I chatted with Optimum Online and informed them about the hacker or hackers interfering with my system again. They said they would look into it. It might be someone using my account for free internet access which would be against the law, and they try to kick me off when I log onto the service. I did some routine internet work. I have Slot 1 at IRQ 10 for the Diamond Stealth video card and Slot 3 for the SoHo lan car at IRQ 9. I turned off assign IRQ to PCI video. The system is booting smoothly with the USB drivers and camera disabled when I boot. I can always enable them after booting. For now I am using adaptor default setting and 32 bit at 800 X 600 resolution, and I am doing normal shutdown. During the afternoon, I listened to Radio 10 from Amsterdam http://www.radio10.nl/live20.ram, which is basically licensed canned cruise ship music like they play on www.hollandamerica.com . I fixed my older 486 DX 120 MHz computer with 16 megs of Ram, and I edited the operating system. I put the older Compaq 151 S 15 inch monitor with it a Compaq keyboard, two mice, and speakers with transformer, and the NEC 800 laser printer. I am missing the speaker to soundcard cable which is a male male smaller jack and the PS/2 to ordinary Keyboard adaptor with the system. After checking it, I put it all in the car for dropping off at one of our many thrift shops or whomever wants to grab it. The system also does not have a modem or Lan card and it does not have a printer plug and printer cable. Still for word processing it would work. The printer has a new toner added, but it smudges maybe until a few copies are run off. I then had speghetti and sauce again with iced coffee. I also through out the GE air conditioner box. I had the file cabinet locked and it jammed, and I was unable to unjam it with the key and a screwdriver pushing the unlocking mechanism back into place. I went out, and I stopped by the Grand Union and I returned $1.25 in cans. I noticed that when I put a 12 pack of last years Diet Coke in the refrigerator, four cans were bulgged out, and the Grand Union store manager said I should throw them out. I then drove down the Avenue, and I stopped by the Harbor. I next stopped by Christ Church, but no one was interested in the computer. I then went to CVS at the Riverside plaza and I bought a pack of Phillie cigar cigarettes for $1.21 with .25 off coupon. I also toured the Food Emporium there. I then drove back downtown by the harbor. I next toured the Food Emporium in central Greenwich. I then stopped by the Shell Station, and cigarette rolling papers are $1.69 when Tops with cigarettes tabacco and papers are $1.39 at Zyns. It was a bit cool out, but I enjoyed it. I returned home, and I made up a batch of biscuit, and I had a couple. I then started they system, and I filed this report. Also the fire brigade apparently payed us a visit yesterday morning at 4 A.M.. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>06/12/00 Monday 6:15 P.M. EDT: I moved the main computer five inches to the right towards the kitchen entrance. Then I took out the speaker between the main computer and the desk. I moved the desk against the main computer coffee table it sits on. I then put the speakers to the right of the main computer in the right outside corner stacked up on top of each other. I then put the mahogany tea table in front of them and I put the HP Lazer printer and the Compaq IJ200 color printer on the table. I moved the backup computer to the center of the desk, so there is more room to use it. I moved the cable modem and right speakers between the two monitor on the desk. I had to move a few cables and electrical wires too. I have it all comfortably set up. I then changed the IRQ for the Diamond Stealth video adaptor to IRQ 11 which lets the USB port be IRQ 10. Thus after reinstalling the adaptor driver without the Diamond Incontrol program, the computer system boots smoothly with the USB port and the computer camera working fine. I think I still have to shutdown the computer by pressing restart and shutting it down when it asks for the password for a complete shutdown. I then installed the Compaq IJ200 color printer driver. I took the old NEC 800 postscript laser printer out of the way, and I will give it to the hospital thrift shop or disgard it. It has a new toner cartridge, but it is smudgey. I thus have the entire system setup well and working well. I also put the white Steelcase double file cabinet to the left of the computer chair, so I have a working area and convenient file storage freeing up room in the bedroom. I still have to sort out some papers in the bedroom and the living room. Well time for dinner. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>06/12/00 Monday 1:40 P.M. EDT: I went to bed at 4:30 A.M.. I had a call from a friend at 7 A.M.. I was up at 11 A.M.. I rebooted the computer, and I found that I need to shut it down by doing "Restart" instead of "Shutdown" to get a clean "Shutdown". I went ahead and reinstalled the Diamond Stealth III 340 drivers after uninstalling them. I then logged onto Diamond Technical Support Wizard and got this recommendation for the CMOS settings for the Diamond Stealth III S540. On my PCWARE www.pcware.com , S-571LMR, I used, "IRQ assignment [toggle] by enabling "assign IRQ to PCI Video", "Pallet snooping [disable]" , "PCI latency time [128]", and disabling by Video Refresh rates in the CMOS in all it is three different CMOS groups I did this in my CMOS. When I rebooted, the computer rebooted fine. I then shutdown by restarting and it all worked fine. I then enabled USB in the Properties Devices and then worked fine along with the camera when I rebooted by "Restarting". Thus the computer is working fine. All I have to do is shutdown by "Restarting" and turning off at the "password". I have not tried just an ordinary shutdown yet. I had breakfast of Quaker Life cerial, toast, orange juice and Perrier, coffee, and vitamins. I made a short phone call to a relative to let them know the computer is running fine. Well it is a rainy day, so I will do a little computer work. CIO

Note:<888>06/12/00 Monday 3:10 A.M. EDT: I had some speghetti and sauce with iced coffee for dinner. I did a C: drive to D: drive backup. I rolled some more smokes. I pureed the tabacco mixture in the CuisineArt to make it more like cigarette tabacco. I had some strawberry ice cream with strawberry sauce. I went out to CVS at the Riverside Plaza and bought two packs of Phillie Natural cigar cigarettes for $2.42 both with .25 off coupons on each pack. I returned home via downtown. I had some microwave popcorn with a chilled Citra soda. I then uninstalled the Diamond Driver and Diamond Incontrol and installed the PCI VGA. I then installed the Diamond Update. I set it to 32 bit and Optimal for the Adaptor driver and 800X600. It all seems to work well and smoothly. I did a Norton Disk Doctor on the C: drive. I also did Norton WinDoctor and Norton Speedisk. The system is booting very quickly and smoothly. I will now do another C: drive to D: drive backup. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>06/11/00 Sunday 4:35 P.M. EDT: Well I was up until about 4 A.M. on Saturday morning. I went to bed, and I was up early Saturday morning. I did a little routine maintenance. On Friday night I did my laundry. On Saturday morning, I had three soft boiled eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice and Perrier, and vitamins. I made a few telephone calls to the tropics chatting about the upcoming hurricane season. I did a little routine maintenance. I took all my tabacco ends and cleaned the tabacco and carbon out of them. I mixed the old tabacco with some bugler tabacco and two ounces of Round Hill pipe tabacco. I mixed this all together and rolled about three dozen cigarettes. I put ten in my silver plate cigarette case. I put the rest in my silver plate Greek parthanon cigarette box. It took a while to roll them all. I am becoming somewhat expert at rolling cigarettes. I went to bed after a peanut butter sandwich and ice tea about 1 P.M.. I was up about noon on Sunday. I had three soft boiled eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice and Perrier, and vitamins. I watered the plants and cleaned my apartment. I then cleaned up. I worked on the computer, and I reinstalled Outlook 98 to fix and Address Book problem in Outlook Express 5.01. I then reinstalled Outlook Express 5.01. The computer system seems to be running fine. I had to sift through and delete about 400 email messages. Well have a good day. It is close to 100 degrees outside, and I have my new air conditioner set to 70 degrees, and it is plenty comfortable in the apartment. CIO

End of Week: 06/09/00

Note:<888>06/09/00 Friday 7:35 P.M. EDT: Well this week, it was pretty much a bit different week. I took some time off from the computer. Basically I was able to fix the internet log on problem with my cable modem by disabling the USB port when booting up. On Tuesday evening, I made a Cajun Stew using my basic speghetti sauce and adding a bit of Italian Sweet sausage, canned clams, sliced Vienna hot dogs, pork and beans and a bit more McHilney's tabasco sauce. It is pretty tasty. I have been munching on it all week when I feel like eating. On Wednesday I recieved some family financial help to buy an air conditioner. Instead of traveling all over tar nation looking to save a few dollars, I went to Partridge and Rockwell, and I bought a General Electric 14,000 BTU air conditioner for $550 and $35 tax, and I then spent about eight hours installing it properly. It is a very quiet and modern air conditioner, General Electric makes it in Korea. It has a remote control and and other modern control features. I am thus with my western exposure and warmer than normal apartment have a cooler environment which is very quiet. However having bought the air conditioner, it leaves me low on other items like tabacco money. On Thursday, I returned two three packs of Perrier to the Food Emporium to buy four packs of Top tabacco which come with rolling papers. I spent the entire day outside. I noticed quite a few people. I wore a common outfit of blue jeans and a khaki shirt which a lot of road crews and public work crews I have observed in the warmer states seem to wear since it is a rather confortable outfit on a hot day. I observed lots of black wasps in the bushes by the veterans monument and around the downtown park. I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I also went down by the waterfront. I studied cloud formations around the waterfront. We had had a warning that their might be "Copper Rain" which I was worried about. I noticed a Cyclone storm clouds heading from east to west until about 4 P.M. on Thursday afternoon. I also noticed lots of Chinese dragon flies and I even saw a Red Winged black bird down by the sewer plant at Grass Island. I believe these are a lot of the tropical nature in our area. I would imagine that these natural species from the tropics moving into our area might forebode that they are taking refuge from the tropical areas in case there is an early season tropical storm front. I informed local nature watchers. I was basically awake for a long time, so I eventually went to bed in the early evening on Thursday. I chatted with a nature observer from elsewhere in the state about midnight and informed him what I had seen. It is my general viewpoint with all the tropical species in the area, one is advised to smoke tabacco to ward off them like Bee keepers smoke hives. Thus keep your kharma when entering this area from less tropical areas. I noticed an old friend from Brazil trying to be a spy. I also noticed a young couple honeymooning around town. There is not a lot happening since the local schools are not yet out. I slept most of Friday to catch up on my rest. I hear a lot of planes coming into the area, so I guess the local corporate travlers are returning from their weekly business odyssies. Thus I am doing well, but it takes considerably more time to roll the TOPS tabacco when preparing for outside adventures than when just using regular expensive tabacco. Perhaps, I should try to smoke my pipe more. Well not a lot else to report, but I feel fine and I am enjoying the cool air in the apartment. Not a whole lot else to report on, but I suppose most people should continue to observe the tropical weather as it develops. Well have a good evening and weekend. CIO

Note:<888>06/06/00 Tuesday 2:05 P.M. EDT: Well I think I finally might have the computer up and running again better than ever for now. I basically have worked on it from about 9 P.M. on Sunday until midnight on Tuesday. I tweaked the system a bit. I finally assigned IRQ 9 to the Lan in slot 3 and IRQ 10 to the slot 1 Diamond Stealth Video card. I was still having problems, and I reinstalled the Networking and the Diamond Stealth drivers. I then reinstalled and uninstalled the USB networking in the CMOS and the drivers continually until I finally deleted the USB files and then reinstalled them again. I accidently deleted a key operating file, I copied back from my other computer this morning. I also had a meal at noon on Monday of potatoe salad and ice tea. I had my teeth cleaned on Monday at 1 P.M., and the Dentist wants to check my upper palate to make sure it is all right from smoking. I recieved a Microsoft rebate of $25 on the $5 clearence item of Microsoft Home Publisher 2000 which I purchased at Staples in Old Greenwich. I think I was out all day on Sunday afternoon quite a bit. There was an antique car sale show. I did some weather observations on the waterfront. I think I recall touring Staples, and I came home on Sunday for a potatoe salad meal with ice tea. I did not go to bed on Sunday night but worked continually on the computer until noon on Monday before my appointment. I also made my 4 P.M. appointment. I stopped by the Wine Pantry on Elm street and I then stopped by VarMax liquor pantry and I bought six bottles of white wine blanc de blanc Meribeu for $27.62 total including $1.75 New York sales tax. I use the wine for cooking and for my wine tea. I worked on the computer more, and I went out about 9 P.M. for a walk. I stopped down by the harbor. I then stopped by the Grand Union, and I bought two cans of GU pork and beans for .49 each, three green peppers for $1.23 and a bulb of garlic for .48 for $2.69 total. I returned home, and I worked on the computer until about 3 P.M. solving the USB problem hopefully. I then took the fan out of the window, and I put in plexic glass to block most of the window and the cool damp air, but allowing some ventilation. I then went to bed and I was up at 9 P.M.. I worked on the computer until now solving the USB problem, and once it was all running fine, I reinstalled Windows 98 Second Edition Upgrades. The computer seems to be running fine for now. I chatted with Cablevision about the internet problems. I then did some other work. Well from what I can tell, I should try to have breakfast and then do some routine house cleaning and make up a batch of speghetti sauce. Well have a good afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>06/04/00 Sunday 10:30 A.M. EDT: Well I have been up all night again. It was down to about 66 degrees Farenheit this morning. I have the system up and running fine again. I had to restore my backup a couple of time because the system was not booting properly. I tried a number of tweaks, but I finally remember to install the Diamond Stealth Update along with DirectX 7A. I also reinstalled my networking. I also deleted Microsoft Wallet which I think hackers are always hacking into my computer to find out what it contains. Since I don't use it, it must be an automatic hacker program that scans the net examing the Microsoft Wallet program. I found a file "Windows\System\00009" which I deleted which had some reference to the Microsoft Wallet program. The "00009" was also responsible for Windows 98 not reinstalling. Well it seems either a hacker or someone is gainnig access to my computer. I had some chips and ice tea and a English muffin. Well I will now run Norton Disk Doctor and then do a C: drive to D: drive backup, and hopefully be to bed at about noon. Well have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>06/04/00 Sunday 1:40 A.M. EDT: I relaxed until about 7 P.M. yesterday. I had some chips and dip along with ice tea. I went out, and I drove downtown and then I drove over to Tod's Point. I walked around the picnic area at the southwest area. It was a very pleasent cool evening and lots of people were out enjoying the evening. I then stopped by Staples in Old Greenwich. I then drove down by the waterfront, and I chatted with a waterfront regular. I then stopped by the Grand Union, and I bought a Stauffer's light cuisine Chicken Florentine and a Chicken Fetticini in the Hearty portion size for $2.50 each, four Chock Full of Nuts ground coffee for .99 each, "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter for $1.29, three Libby Vienna sausages for $2, GU small olives .99, a pint of Strawberries $1.50 for $18.29 total. I then went home, and I had the Chicken Florentine for dinner along with ice tea. I then put the strawberries in the CuisineArt along with a container of the homemade Yogurt and purred them. I then put some of it on the Eddy's no sugar strawberry ice cream and had it with coffee. I made a telephone call. I then booted the computer and the entire system was messed up. It leads me to believe that somebody is gaining access to my apartment and using the computer. I only used the cable modem while booting, so I doubt if anyone hacked it. The only other alternative is that the Napster program, I logged onto briefly before doing the backup earlier in the day might have messed up the system. I restored my backup I made earlier in the day, and the system is working great again. If some person or persons unknown is gaining access to my apartment it would jeapardize my personal security since besides tampering with the computer, they could be tampering with other electronics or my food or beverage or gaining information on my family, friends, and associates. This is all rather distressing, and I have suspected as much for a long time. I will now run Norton Disk Doctor and Norton Speeddisk. It does not do much good to keep changing the computer password since hitting the "End" key while booting opens up the CMOS without the password. I suspose a cleaver enough person could hack the CMOS for the password. Well it is all rather peculiar since, I would imagine there are more substancial people in the area whom would be equally vulnerable. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>06/03/00 Saturday 5:00 P.M. EDT: Yesterday, I stayed inside all day working on the computer until 1 A.M. Saturday morning. I was not successful in reinstalling Windows 98. I had some potato salad with potatoe chips and dip for dinner along with ice tea. I was up at 6 A.M. this morning. I had breakfast of three soft boiled eggs, English muffin, orange juice and Perrier, coffee, and vitamins. I tried reinstalling Windows 98 to no avail. I finally decided to back up "system.dat" file and then delete it. I then went ahead with a successful install of Windows 98 loosing most of my registry settings. I then downloaded the Microsoft Updates and reinstalled most of the programs. The "system.dat" file is now 5.5 meg instead of 9.3 megs. The computer boots quickly and smoothly. Last night while removing the video card and the Lan card to try install Windows 98, I noticed the two lower hard drives C: and D: were getting a little warm since they were next to each other beneath the floppy drive. I put the floppy drive in the upper bay and seperated the hard drives, so there is more ventalation. The system is running as good as it ever has with no problems. I ran the usual Norton utilities and I then did a C: drive to D: drive backup. They system is running warmer, because my air conditioner broke down yesterday. It was a 13 year old Sears Kenmore 10,500 BTU that I had had fixed five years ago. I have run the fan continually on it since moving in here. While doing the backup, I removed the air conditioner and carried it downstairs on a skate board and dumped it at the dumpster. I then put a Window fan in the window and exchanged a screen from an adjacent windows over the center window with the fan. Well it is 84 degrees Farenheit in the apartment next to the windows, but now I have lots of fresh air which is nice since I still am smoking a bit of tabacco. The apartment gets direct sunlight on the rain patio on the second floor with the four windows exposed to the sun in the late summer afternoons and evenings. Well time to clean up and go out after a bite to eat. CIO

Note:<888>06/02/00 Friday 12:50 P.M. EDT: I made up a onion dip using a package Lipton Herbal Onion soup mix, a glove of garlic, two small onions, and a 16 oz. container of Friendship sour cream. I also made up a batch of Potatoe salad by peeling and dicing a five pound bag of Idaho potatoes, and boiling them for a half hour in a pot with a can of beer. I then cooled them in a collander in cold water set in a pot of cold water. I added salt to the boiling potatoe water with beer. I also slit and diced about 20 girgins, three dill pickles, and added a half jar of capers. To this I made a mixture in the CusineArt, I chopped five gloves of garlic, added two teaspoons olive oil, a half teaspoon of Sessime oil, an a few tablespoons of red vinegar, white vinegar, dill pickle juice, gergin juice, extra dashes of Lea and Perrins Worstershire sauce, a dash of Angotora bitter, extra dashes Angostora terriaki sauce, a dash of McHilney's tabasco sauce, dashes of garlic powder, black pepper, Italian seasoning, organo, basil, Hungarian Pepperica, celery salt, and small dashes of Chinese Five spice, hot curry, nutmeg, cinnemon, ginger, chili powder, and I mixed this together in the CuisineArt, and I then I added 3/4 cups of dry roasted peanuts and mixed it all together until smooth again. I then added a cup of Hellman's mayonaise to this mixture and mixed it all again. I added this all to the chilled potatoes with diced pickle mixture and mixed it all together. I then packaged it in two rubbermaid containers and put it in the refrigerator to cool. I then checked my mail. I tryed taking some pictures with the Slam Cam. The come out best when sent at about 1.5 inches by 1 inch. At larger size, they're blurry. I will now sample some of my cooking. Well have a good afternoon. It is suppose to be hot this afternoon with some showers. CIO
