Note:<888>6/21/98 Sunday 7:50 A.M. EDT: I cleaned the apartment and watered the plants. I have cleaned up and will go outside in ten minutes once I finished listening to www.ttalk.com 's weekend broadcast. Happy Birthday to Prince William BBC News | UK | Many Royal returns! Happy Birthday Prince William . Well it looks like a nice day. CIO

Note:<888>6/21/98 Sunday 5:00 A.M. EDT: I was up at 4:00 A.M.. I had breakdfast of bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, orange juice, and coffee. I went out for smokes. I am just about to clean my apartment for the next couple of hours. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/20/98 Saturday 5:20 P.M. EDT: I went out at 7:00 A.M. this morning, and while I was viewing the harbor, I mentioned to one of the fishermen that I had pulled a muscle in my heel walking with new shoes. He said I should use the old shoes, since a pair of new shoes can strain muscles in one's foot. I went by the Grand Union and purchased two one pound boxes of Strawberries for $1.69 each, over two pounds of seedless grapes @ .99 a pound for $2.63, a ribeye steak for $3.67, two pints of blueberries for $1.50 each, and two ears of yellow corn for .40 for a total of $14.66. I went home and mixed all the fruit together and added two ziggers of Mount Gay Rum, two ziggers of white wine, and two tablespoons of Angostora bitters to make a tropical fruit salad. I had a bit of it. I went back out at 8:30 and stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop and bought two Putnam Trust coffee cups for .50 and said hello to the curtious staff. I then drove down Greenwich Avenue and parked in front of the senior center and walked around the Town Green. One local representative suggested I take the Island Beach Ferry, but I said with the bad heel, I would probably be at risk if I fell overboard, and could not swim. Lots of families were out enjoying the day. I drove back down to the water and quite a few people were fishing. By the way I put on the older Reeboks. I then went by Bruce Park and saw energetic joggers circling the park. I then returned by the train station and stopped be the Greenwich Farmers Market in the west parking lot by the thruway and checked out the excellent looking produce. I noticed lots of local resteraunters buying their produce there. I bought a cookie for .75 and noticed two Africans in the parking lot with broken down cars. I then drove out to Grass Island and toured the waterfront. Several people were sunning themselves and a young Mexican and his son were fishing. I told them about the 50 pound stripe bass one of my neighbors had caught. I then returned up town and stopped by the Library and read the newspaper, which did not say much new as usual. I chatted with the library security guard about the future of computers and the nature of the business. I then returned home at noon and had some more fruit salad. I tried to rest, but did not fall asleep. I got up about 3:30 and previewed the IBM Business Intelligence CDROM that I had recieved in the mail. I guess it was lightning that struck the building at 7 P.M. on Wednesday night causing my doorbell to go off. It knocked out the downstairs intercom and also caused the electronic sliding door to malfunction. I suppose these things happen when one has lots of thunderstorms. I have a feeling that the overall state of things in Greenwich is pretty much the same while the economy holds. However recently, I have mentioned to several individuals that when the micro asteroid belt that comes around every 35 years hits in the first week of November, supposedly 50% of the world's satillites will be knocked out. This could affect all communications systems including defense systems like Norad and other strategic communication systems, not to mention many of the satillites cost billions of dollars. I suppose if the market is going down at that period there could be financial termoil, not to mention that is when the United States has mid term elections. It will be interesting to see what happens in the general scope of things, as opposed to the constant barrage of suspect propaganda on the television. I have a feeling quite a lot is happening once one tunes off the tube. The GLass on my automobile is getting dirty, and sometime soon when I am on a day schedule, I might try to clean up the car, but not when I have a bad heel that causes me to have a slight limp at the moment. Really a very peaceful quite day in Greenwich. I hope the gang across the Sound has a fun time this evening, wish I could be there. Enjoy the rest of the day. CIO

Note:<888>6/20/98 Saturday 4:00 A.M. EDT: On Thursday I was up at noon and made my appointment after stopping by the Hospital Thrift Shop. It was a nice day, so afterwards I went by the library and read the computer press. I then went downtown and walked around a bit and chatted with a few local deja vue people. I went back home at 7 P.M. and had a ribeye steak for dinner, along with corn on the cob, ramen noodles, ice tea, and a cup of hot tea. I tried on my new pair of Nike Air Jordans and decided to break them in. I then went back downtown about 8:30 P.M. and walked around for some exercise. One resident told me the most popular horse at the track now is called "Steamboat Road". There was an ambulence call at the Greenwich Train station. I mentioned to the owner of planet pizza, that a wood fired pizza place was being built across the street. I walked around up to the top of the Avenue. I chatted with someone about an alternative place at Brumos Porche Mercedes in Jacksonville, Florida about where they could get a better deal on Mercedes, since they have first choice off the boat. I walked back down the avenue. I rested on the bench. I started walking down the avenue. I stopped and chatted with another Greenwich resident who is smaller and looks like a kid, and was concerned about having been mugged and beaten up in front of the boys club by two Africans. I continued and walked down the Avenue and it was after 2 A.M. and everything was closed. While chatting on the avenue a couple stopped by and asked how to get to I95 which is the most common question on Greenwich Avenue. I drove down Steamboat Road and chatted about the ocean with a young officer on patrol. I returned home about 3 A.M. and sat up relaxing until 6 A.M. when I went to bed. I was tired and did not get up until 8 P.M. the following evening. When I got up I noticed I was lame and could barely walk. I suppose I had walked too much the night before. I made a couple of phone calls and went back to bed until about 2:30 A.M. this mornng. I went out briefly for smokes at the Shell station and returned home and filed this report. I updated Scott's Index www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm . I suppose with the sore heel from all that walking in the new Nike Air Jordans, I will have to stay off my feet for a while other than from moving around to the car. Well it is back to the net, and I am totally rested. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/18/98 Thursday 5:20 A.M. EDT: I think I will catch up on my rest a little bit. CIO

Note:<888>6/18/98 Thursday 3:40 A.M. EDT: I got the hard drive in the Dumpster 486 DX/66 going by setting up the CMOS with the proper perameters. I did go out about 1 A.M. for a half hour. I also put the temporary dumpster computer memory back in the primary backup system. The dumpster computer needs two 72 pin memory simms to work. I have all systems assembled. And I fdisked, formated, and sys.com the dumpster computer before removing the memory. I have the serial and LPT ports working on it too. The IBM 486DX/66 CPU in it did not have a fan just a heat condensor, I would use a CPU fan with it, if I ever used it. I also straightened up. It is a little warm and damp in here, so I turned up the air conditioner. I will do a little of my regular net surfing now. Well enjoy the early morning hours. CIO

Note:<888>6/18/98 Thursday 12:40 A.M. EDT: Well I tried sleeping until noon on Wednesday morning. I then started working on the dumpster 486 DX/2 computer. I worked on it until 6 P.M. when I went back to bed. Eventually by temporarily putting in the backup 486 DX4 120 mhz computer two eight meg SIMMS in it, I got it booting from the A: drive. I reset some of the motherboard settings. I setup the CMOS in failsafe mode to get it working smoothly. However FDISK although it works from a boot A: disk does not partition the 80 meg C: drive. It is an older Compaq Prolinea dumpster hard drive I put in, so I have to check Compaq site to see if there are better CMOS setup settings at the site than what someone had written on the drive. Well at least the overall system is working with the second motherboard I have had lying around in a pizza box for two years. The fellow I bought my 486 DX4 120 AMD processor from gave me the second motherboard with the one I used for two years, since Bank 2 of 32 pin memory has broken memory chip hooks for installing that type of memory. However using the two 8 meg 72 pin chips, it all seems to basically work. Once I get the C: drive going I will put the memory back in my primary backup. I am using the IBM 486DX2 66 mhz processor in it from the IBM dumpster computer setup as Inel 486/DX 2. The IBM dumpster computer was not salvagable yet, since it had no DRAM. I used its 520 meg hard drive, as my D: drive on my primary computer. I am using my old 3 1/2 floppy drive on the dumpster system, a dumster salvaged 5 1/4 floppy drive, a Acton desktop case, dumster floppy comtroller, dumster Trident memory card, dumpster port card, I need to get it to recognize the mouse COM port, a generic modem network card that i don't know anything about, I am running it off the left bedroom desk computer monitor. Once I get the C: drive on the dumpster computer going, I will put the memory back in the 486 DX4 backup bedroom system, and put the dumpster system cover on, and keep it in reserve until I come with memory for it. I have a fourth monitor for it in the closet. Thus I basically have my primary IBM 233 MX system, my backup AMD 486/DX4 120 mhz system, my 386 SX system, and the almost complete dumpster 486/DX2 66 mhz system. Well this is the type of hobby one takes up during rainy weather when one is on limited income. I concievably could network the three lesser computers to my primary computer, but I would need to know how to figure out how to use and find network cards, not to mention the cable. I don't think it is necessary; but in the exercise of setting up an emergency communications post, with the right expertise and necessity behind me that is an alternative, if a small group wanted to use the primary computer as a server. After going to bed at 6 P.M., all Hell broke lose with lightning and thunder at 7 P.M.. It was as intense as I have ever heard it with heavy showers. I heard the door bell ring at 7 P.M. too, but no one was there. I disconnected the primary computer from power and telephone during the storm. A friend from Long Island called to tell me his brother in law and fiancee had arrived for their wedding and honeymoon from Scotland. I also had a friend call from Wilton, but I was so tired, I am not sure what he said. I slept until 11:30 P.M. and had breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, coffee, and orange juice. I updated Scott's Index, it was a dang good day on Wall Street, www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm . After posting this message, I will go out in about 45 minutes for smokes, and a little fresh air. CIO

Note:<888>6/17/98 Wednesday 8:30 A.M. EDT: Well I went out at midnight and walked around downtown the fool length of Greenwich Avenue. I noticed in the train station office park area, there was more computer equipment. They disgarded a tower case with a pentium motherboard but no memory, processor, or drives. When I returned an hour later it was gone by 2 A.M., so somebody else is crusing the computer dumpster area at the wee hours of the morning. I did pick up a Compaq 386 which had a 80 meg hard drive. When I walked the full lenght of Greenwich Avenue, I studied the excellent masonry wall being built at the Presbyterian Church. They obviously have a group of master craftmen working there. I am sure it is difficult building a curved stone wall. Obviously the Presbyterians know something about Masonry. I studied the Sotheby's Office, they apparently aren't doing too well, because they can't afford a stand for their receptionist's computer, but simply have it sitting on the floor with laser printer next to the desk. Some sort of matching end table or stand would do. I saw a gal in Jaguar driving down the Post Road East with only her parking lights on. I studied the OmniPoint store, they look pretty pricey. I noticed as I walking back down the Avenue, they were taking in a delivery at Knapp Funeral Home, I guess they needed late night supplies. I got in my trusty Volvo and drove back by the computer dumping area, and I saw the tower case gone, and I retrieved the Compaq. I drove down to the end of Steamboat Road and shined my lights on the water. I did not notice any aquatic life, and the wind was dead calm. I suppose occassionaly we get Tiger Sharks swimming into the Harbor. I saw the Yacht Club Night Watchman shine the spot light on the water, and I hailed him and welcomed him to his post. I stayed about a half hour studying the harbor and the skyline. I noticed the house with the big flag is fairly well lite, while most the other houses seem to be dark. I have not chatted with Joe McDonald over in Belle Haven in several years, maybe I'll go over and say hello some time. The Greenwich Times is headlining the Moxley case, so I guess nothing new is happening around town. I returned back over towards Byram stopping at the Shell Station for smokes. Richard the night proprieter wanted to know something about computer viruses, and I suggested to him to check out the library computer books. He said Shell Oil needs to revamp its computerized cash register accounting procedures, since they are out of date. I drove back downtown and down around thru Bruce Park and I came back via the Post Road and went down the Avenue and back down by the water and I returned home about 4 A.M.. For the next four hours, I assembled various parts from various disgarded computer systems together, unfortunately when I started the machine, the dumpster system did not work. I was trying to put an IBM 486/66 DX chip I believe in a motherboard that might not take it although it did fit in. I changed the settings from Intel 486 DX to Cyrix and then the system power quit working altogether, even when I returned the setting to Intel 486/66. Perhaps I blew the motherboard or processor. Well I had enough parts to put a another system together anyway. I used the same motherboard as in the back up 486 in the bedroom. I happened to have a second one. Who knows it is all a mystery, but it keeps me in practice assembling and testing computer systems. Maybe I should pass it on to some unknowing computer dumping area prowler, but I suppose it would be quite a hassle, but it has a number of useful parts. Maybe some time in the future I will fiddle with it. Well it was a perfect night weather wise last night and I enjoyed being outside for a while. I guess I will go to bed shortly, so all of you daytime people make sure nobody steals the sun. Bye for Now. CIO

I have 180 megs free on the D: drive. I am using the D: drive to store my *.cab and download files. It seems like it is a nice day out, so maybe I should go out and see if any guests are in the area. I suppose besides guests, we might have the usual cross section of stockholders showing up in the area, while they are on their northern migration for the summer holidays. I like the local Alta Vista Search engine on my hard drive, it sure helps find lots of hidden resources, I have built up over the years. To use it, one has to first start the Query Dispatcher. I am sort of in a funky mood since I have not been out much in the sun recently with all the rain we have had. I suppose with PC Expo in Manhattan some computer tech types will be visiting the area. I can recommend the IBM Armonk Visitors Center which last time I checked a couple years ago, was a security guard who looks at you on a remote camera, and says there is no visitors center, or as an alternative one can contemplate the view of Greenwich Harbor from the bottom of Steamboat Road, which might have some relavance to IBM's outlook in the area. Please don't crash any private clubs. I suppose the local kids are trying to find summer jobs, perhaps some local entrepreneurs could use them as beta testers, but it is my personal point of view, they should get outside and enjoy the warmer weather and get a little exercise, after all the time spent at the computers. Well any questions, please give me an at mailto:mikescott@ibm.net , or sign my guestbook www.mikescott.net/guestbook.html . Well I hope everyone is enjoying theirself. CIO

Note:<888>6/16/98 Tuesday 11:45 A.M. EDT: I had a friend stop by this past morning to study some cartography maps I have. I made a fruit salid out of blueberries, strawberries, and diced cantalope, which I mixed with a couple of jiggers of Mount Gay Rum and a tablespoon of Angostora Bitters. I let is all sit about six hours while I took a nap until now. I will do a little routine net work and then go out and enjoy the day. I guess I am back on a day schedule. I have noticed that President Clinton has dropped from media attention for the last several days.

Note:<888>6/15/98 Monday 8:00 P.M. EDT: Well, Wall Street finally took a bath today. I guess the old guard in their Blue Monday suits have made their decisions. Scott's Index was down over $20,000 or over 2%. Scott's Index is at www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm . I was up at 6 P.M.. Before I went to bed at noon I chatted with a Microsoft Sales person up in Buffalo about my view of what's going on the internet. Bob seems knowlegable. I remembered the University of Buffalo has the United States seismological headquarters, I believe. Well if I have to shuffle off to Buffalo, I will probably zoom through and check out the shop in Toronto. Yes Microsoft has a major office in Toronto, and I dare say the security looks like lumberjacks about 7 feet tall or more, who don't seem to mind the cold weather. Well bring your stilts if your planning to join me at World Internet Summit 98 in Toronto this week. I suppose I will have to take one of my CanadaAir private Jets at Westchester Airport which are good in cold weather and seem to know how to find their way to Canada. Remember any short ladies in sneakers might be the boss. Well, I just might be kidding, but anything could happen. I remember last time I came down from home in Toronto, I road the Amtrack down and their was a nice retired lady in the back of the Pullman car having a LaBatts beer with her young great grandson. I believe she looked like the Queen Mum and I suppose the tiny little tot was Willie. I remember the Courtly gentleman railroad conductors seemed to have a sense of humour. I stepped off the train and made a brief phone call to Charlie Cary in East Aurora, New York to find out his son George was out in Sands Point, Long Island. The train continued its adventure down to Manhattan. Needless to say I don't think any railroad tycoons feel like selling any property at the moment, and remember the first thing you were taught is "Never to Sell Your Mineral Rights". Well, I will shower and venture out downtown. PS: The golf cottage in Greenwich is not for sale. CIO

Note:<888>6/15/98 Monday 11:20 A.M. EDT: Well I finally got through my daily 20 automatic email messages. I was thinking I should instruct the legal department to go sailing, and the financial department to play golf, and the anyone else that is left, to go on strike like General Motors. Who knows, we all could use a good long vacation for about 10 years, and I'm not talking prison. Of course sooner or later as usual we'd all get bored, I suppose. CIO

Note:<888>6/15/98 Monday 10:30 A.M. EDT: For the record as far as correspondence with William Gates mailto:billg@microsoft.com , I found the email address in September 1994 in the Internet Yellow pages at the Greenwich Library. I have sent him perhaps 50 messages since then, mostly to do with computers, software, internet, and Greenwich, Connecticut. Nothing to technical, just on general principals. I have recieved only two email message back from him shortly after I originally emailed him on Volcanoes, NASA's radar imaging project which was going on when I first got on the internet, the shuttle was photographing the Kamchatka Pennisula volcano that was active. I recieved an email back from that address saying not to send such long messages. About a month latter I recieved email from the same address using PGP encryption, which I still do not know how to use, so I never unscrambled it. I don't save my correspondence, so I have no record of any correspondence, except a couple of minor messages of no relavance to anyone. Of course, most geniuses with similar backgrounds tend to think the same. In a town like Greenwich, I am sure there are quite a few reclusive geniuses or at least moderately successful people. Well back to the grind. PS, I admit my spelling errors are horrible, but remember I have poor vision and don't use glasses while on the computer. It is a bit blurry. CIO

Note:<888>6/15/98 Monday 10:00 A.M. EDT: I went downtown at about 6 A.M., but I stopped and talked with one of my neighbors for a half hour. I then went down to the bottom of Steamboat Road and chatted with another one of my former neighbors about the French World Solo Sailor that was lost at sea. I suppose one should wear life vests with homing beacons when on deck in the ocean. I walked around downtown. I noticed a nice German Sheperd sitting in front of the Senior Center. I noticed the benches on the Greenwich Common are still in disrepair. Someone kicked out many of the slats. I noticed while sitting in front of the Post Office, someone had either kicked or knocked out the middle solid 1 1/2 inch solid iron middle arm rest of the southwest bench. They had to break it in two pieces. It looked like someone took a sledge hammer to it, or it was one very powerful individual that kicked it. I walked around the bottom of the Avenue and walked through the train station, and chatted with one of the senior members of the business community on the train station platform in his blue summer suit. He usually wears a Stetson, I guess it is too warm today. The sun was out this A.M., but it is clouding up. I then walked back up the Avenue, and went by the Hospital Thrift Shop, and they seem to be lean on merchandise, but most everything is half price. I then went by the Grand Union and chatted with one of our local shoppers about the gigantic strawberries they have there from Watsonville, California. I bought a pint for $1.29, two shell steaks at $4.99 a pound for $7.68, a pint of blueberries for $1.50, 4 ears of corn for .80, for a total of $11.27; plus a $1.45 in returned aluminum cans. I came home, while the town is just getting to get busy. One usually sees the "Old Guard" out in force on Monday morning. I will go to bed shortly, I don't have any appointments today. Well have a good day, day time people, I also noticed two Canadian geese on the harbor with three half grown gosslings. There were a few young kids fishing on the pier. Thus Greenwich wants to get into its summer routine, but the rain keeps coming, so this week might be another wash out. Well we'll see, but my bones feel like rain. CIO

Note:<888>6/15/98 Monday 3:55 A.M. EDT: I finished the laundry and also put the shower curtain and liner in a separate washer with a quart of bleach to remove the mildew. I chatted with a fellow up in Denmark about Greenland and the World Cup which he is broadcasting to Thailand over his cable modem at 30 meg a second with the RealAudio server. I guess that means once we all get cable modems, we all will be able to broadcast our own content any where in the world. Everyone will be a Star, of course you will have to know how to run and afford a computer. Beam Me Up Scotty. We also discussed how Denmark and the Netherlands being low lying countries, would be at jeopardy if the Antartic Ice Cap or the Greenland Ice Shelf melted raising the World's Oceans level, they would be amongst the first to feel the effects along with southern Asia along the Indian Ocean and a great many low lying islands. I think there might be a big dormant volcano underneath two miles of ice in the interior of Greenland. Well back to the net. I think I am about 20 feet above sea level here on the second floor, but I don't notice much elevation change on the way over to Byram Beach, but the Byram River down the road is a good 70 feet beneath me. I wonder why that is. CIO

Note:<888>6/15/98 Monday 2:25 A.M. EDT: I had a Vodka, orange juice, grapefruit juice, and Angostora bitters before going to bed Sunday morning to celebrate the Queen's birthday. I was awaken by a family member at 9 A.M. for a tech support session. Another friend called at 4 P.M., and I made a couple of calls then. I went back to bed until 8 P.M.. I had breakfast at 4 P.M. of cerial, toast, orange juice, and coffee. I cleaned my apartment from 8 P.M. listening to the BBC News World report, click the left dino on my homepage. I also watered the plants. I backed up my computer, and it all barely fits on one tape. I made www.mikescott.net/icetea.htm . At 12:30 A.M. I went out for a short walk. I came back at 2 A.M. and started my laundry. I will do a little net work this morning if anything is happening. We had a lot of rain this weekend. I think the Buick Open is on in Westchester. I heard there was an oil spill by a tanker on I-95 at the Stratford Milford line that they will be still cleaning up this morning. One lane North bound was open at 11 P.M. and no lanes southbound. I might go out for another walk at sunrise this morning. I also added the lines to my config.sys:

files= 40

buffers=30

these two lines might make the system go a little faster. CIO
