Note:<888>6/30/99 Wednesday 7:25 A.M. EDT: Well I've had a case of the blahs today. Not much to report. I got an hour nap until the missing person called to say he was all right. I figure with the hot weather and since most people don't bother air conditioning substancial houses up north, certain members of the establishment are sweating it out in their cooler basements. Well it is cool and comfortable and the old 10 year old Sears air conditioning is still running fine. My sister told me that her former Norwegian next door neighbor died of a heart attack at age 42, so I am sure she is a bit depressed. I guess it is important to reduce stress. I will quit posting scopor01.htm since I don't really care much about the stock market any way. Well I guess I will relax some more. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>6/30/99 Wednesday 7:55 A.M. EDT: Since I am trying to run an Octagon House here in a 11 side building, I picked up on a recent Chinese pschic forecast 12 day ago on a Friday night. The local Yahoo Reuters news was worrying about a potential terrorist attack from the Saudi Arabian Ben Laden terrorist. I was thinking about that when I went down to Steamboat Road and a little Chinese boy caught a 31 inch striped bass he said, so I got to thinking about the number 31, and June only has 30 days, so perhaps a terrorist attack would be planned for July 31, which would be a Saturday. A horribe scenario would be that since the United Nations generally leaves along with a lot of other New Yorkers probably that Friday before on July 30 for the August month of vacation, then possibly the United Nations area always a terroist target area would potentially be full of tourists on that hot Saturday. Of course psychic predictions can always be messed up, and just because one little kid yells 31, does not mean it would necessarily happen. Well I have a spliting headache, and I guess I will try to rest a spell. CIO

Note:<888>6/30/99 Wednesday 7:45 A.M. EDT: Well I chatted with another friend from the Stowe, Vermont ski patrol about upcoming winter weather conditions and we expect it to be more severe this winter. I was reminded by a Texas Historian that the great Irish famine towards the end of the 19th century was not caused by the volcanoes in Iceland errupting, but the great eruption in 1882 of Cracatoa in the South Pacific. Concievably caused by the Spanish or other parties to get back at the northern European parties in their colonial expansion, they caused the volcanoe to errupt to freeze out the northern Europeans. This is all theory and there is no documentation of any such group actually causing it to happen. I have to remind any notes readers that I try to be a neutral Swiss Swedish observer in recording my observations which is why they frequently can be inaccurate if the historical research is somebody else's propaganda on historical events. The Texas historian reminded me that when my family came to this country in 1620 there might have been a similar volcanic erruption that caused a similar famine during that period, but I have not had time to research it. Basically I am not well enough briefed other than current journalism to know the real story. On other events a friend of mine's wife called to say that he did not return home last night and did not call, but I was chatting with her last night, so perhaps he did not get his call through about a change of plans. I also checked with the Stowe Ski patrol and they told me Hallowell & Co., Fine Sporting Guns closed their place in Greenwich and bought a few thousand acres of land in Montana. I guess the area is becoming so overbuilt and developed anymore, there is no room for sport hunters in the area, so they had to go out of business. Well not much else to report, I might rest a bit and then go out. I did check with local hospitals and New York State police about the driving route that my friend might have taken, but from what I can tell no one knows anything. I suspose we will have to check on the satellite that we keep focused on him all the time to see if anything happened, so check with NASA. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/30/99 Wednesday 3:50 A.M. EDT: I was up at about 9 P.M. this past evening. I chatted with a family member and another friend. There is not much to report on. I am doing a little bit of system work, and as far as I can tell it is a quiet evening. I checked with the Greenwich Police and advised them they should keep a closer eye on the waterfront activity on Steamboat Road at night and enforce the traffic parking regulations banning parking from 9 P.M. to 6 A.M.. There is a certain group of out of towners whom seem to think they control that pier for drug purposes or other activity as far as I can tell, and since when the Greenwich Police run them off, they always return. Basically they are cleaver and know about fishing, but their fishing skills and routines don't match those of normal fishermen, and it seems more than likely they are spotting members of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club and other residents in the neighborhood and certain nautical activities for purposes unknown, perhaps to figure out the movements of the Greenwich Harbor Patrol, so that they might sell information to waterfront bergurlars or dertermine certain patterns of activity of residents, so they might use it for other purposes. Needless to say when a group of out of towners are not friendly, I believe it is safe to assume they are up to no good, and someone or persons unknown are putting them up to it all. Basically from fifteen years of professional observation, I might send down a Federal Marshall there with enforcement capability and make them clean up their act and the waterfront pier at the same time, but for all I know Greenwich residents may be doing the same thing in other waterfront locations around the world. Basically they scare off the tax payers of the town whom occassionally use the area. I would advise at the present for the police to keep a log of all regular license plates numbers and to check them out as usual to see if there are any other similar patterns they practice in other areas. Basically they have the legal right to fish, but they fit the Drug Enforcement Agency profile of known trafficers and mules. Perhaps they are using the location as a transit point or just gathering intelligence on our local activities or diverting our attention there while they are up to something else in another location. If it was just fishing, they would not be fishing at low tide when there is only a foot and a half of water. Needless to say unharmed local civilian taxpayers feel intimited by hostile fishermen carrying knives. Well I suppose you should have the Harbor Master study the situation down there some more, maybe he can figure out something. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/29/99 Tuesday 1:00 P.M. EDT:Well I am dead tired. The housing authority with its ever increasing efficiency has installed a new hot water heater and the apartment is back together. I still have that interesting mold that bears examining above the bathroom sink. Well I will have a bite to eat and go off to bed. Have a good afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>6/29/99 Tuesday 8:50 A.M. EDT: I went back out after the last message. I drove down by the Harbor and chatted with some of the out of town fishermen. The Greenwich Police showed up and let them stay. I returned to the center of town and walked around lower Greenwich Avenue. I advised the Electric company employees if they were having problems with PCPs, that they should call the Connecticut EPA. They were still washing down the PCP oil with foaming agents. It looked like they have the electrical problem under control, and they said no power was out. I chatted with a local Avenue retiree, and he said "All He Wanted Was Peace and Quiet!". I walked around the lower Avenue and back up Arch street and sat out at the Post Office Plaza until 4 A.M.. I also told the electrical company employees that when the transformer blew up by the old Paradise cafe about five years ago, it was caused by squirrels chewing on the electrical cables. I returned home and thought out a few fish stories until 6 A.M.. I drove back down to Steamboat Road. I told a couple of regulars that the visitors from Aspen who mentioned constructing a pier on the east side of Steamboat Road never noticed the new pier that was constructed there a few years ago. I chatted with one local about Intel and gave him my web site. I chatted with a resident from Scotland and he kidded me that in the old days when Scotsman fought over property, they would pull out their swords and start fighting for the property. I told him I was an engineer and had once lived around a Russian nuclear engineer, I think he got the message. I chatted with the full time observer. I noticed Canadian license plates number 32 and 33 in Greenwich during the last fifteen years. I chatted briefly with one Steamboat Road resident who was out feeding his pet squirrel in the morning. I returned home. Before I went out I had called Housing Authority Maintenance, and told them the apartment hot water tank is leaking above the bathroom sink. The cieling is damp, and it has also developed and interesting mold spot which should be cultured, incubated, and studied if this were a Pasteur Research Institute living laboratory. Maybe with all the different spores and molds and various dust I have in the apartment, I might have a mutant mold growing. I also chatted with a gentleman from Austria while down on the waterfront. Well I would like to go to bed, so I guess I won't wait for maintenance to show up sooner or later. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/29/99 Tuesday 2:20 A.M. EDT: I also stopped by the Greenwich Harbor Inn before returning home. The regular night manager was in, and the air conditioning was not working the lobby. I don't know about the rest of the hotel. I suggest to her that she contact Johnson Controls out of Newport News, Virginia who I once saw servicing the heating and cooling systems. I believe Johnson Controls has an office at Westchester Airport, since they bought the old Pan American Airlines Special Services Division, which was like the State Department of the Airline Industry in the old days. I got emailed this link tonight OAG Worldwide . CIO

Note:<888>6/29/99 Tuesday 1:40 A.M. EDT: I went out after the last message after chatting with a family member about 9:30 P.M.. When I arrived half way down Greenwich Avenue, there were several fire trucks parked at Greenwich Avenue and Fawcett Place across from the movie theatre. I headed down Arch Street since the street was blocked off by the police. I drove down to Steamboat Road and chatted with some of the waterfront crowd. I told one local computer user who just started smoking again six months ago, he might be having problems with Iroquit poisoning, since it is very common in New England after prolonged dry spells, people get get Iroquit poisoning which is like Swamp fever or what happened during the Salem Witch trials. The natural remedy for Iroquit poisoning is smoking tabacco or taking Niacimide like I do or Niacin which make you flush red, if Niacimide is not available. Commercial bakers today commonly use flour with Niacin added, so if one eats enough baked goods, you frequently get enough Niacin. Also Niacin I believe is the same as Vitamin B3 which is similar to Nicotinic acid, which one gets from smoking tabacco. Well the wharf rats chatted with a long time Greenwich resident returning from Aspen with his wife from Fort Worth, Texas and they're headed up to Nantuket. One had to watch their language down on the waterfront in case ladies are around. I noticed a few youngster moon watching through the clouds. It feels like rain, and possibly feels like tornado weather might occur to the north of us. It is a hot sultry evening about 78 degrees F.. Well I next returned to the center of town, and I chatted with a couple of other locals. One told me it was a transformer fire on Fawcett Place. The fire department looked like they had washed down the gutters with a foaming agent possibly to retard any PCPs. I noticed the electrical department there and the police department. I did not see the state EPA man there. I guess the fire department and the electrical department will have to determine if any PCP ran off into the storm drains into Long Island Sound. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue and there was not much happening. Well I returned home and had a Citra soda in a chilled frosty mug. No one seemed to know how the President traveled in the area today, so I guess he probably took Marine One which everyone knows is serviced in Bridgeport, Connecticut. I explained to some of the waterfront crowd that waterfront development has to be overseen by the Army Corps of Engineers, and frequently the Department of Denfense has plans for certain areas during military emergencies or natural disasters which is why they frequently certain recreation development in certain areas. Well enough to report on now, have a good morning. I got email from a relative, and he told me on a recent trip to China and the Far east, he ran into a Chinese four star general who ran the Chinese defense system along with the Defense minister of Australia. Well I guess it is a small world. CIO

Note:<888>6/28/99 Monday 8:40 P.M. EDT: I went to bed after the last message, but I did not fall asleep until about noon. Around 4:30 P.M., my 4 P.M. appointment called up to tell me I missed it. I guess I reset the alarm when it went off at 2 P.M.. Well I finally got up about 6:30 P.M.. I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I guess I am still on a night schedule. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well not much to report. Anyone caught up in the local White House visit today is probably suffering from White House feaver. The common cure is "Take Two Aspirin, and Call Me in the Morning". Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>6/28/99 Monday 8:00 A.M. EDT: Other wildlife observations last night, there was a black cat hanging around in front of the Porsche dealership last night. Also I saw a black and white tuxedo cat crossing the post office plaza, just after I saw the rat eating garbage in the street in front of Richard's Men's clothing. I checked out the excavation work on the new Richard's and since nobody in Greenwich ever wears new cloths anymore, I think it is a waste of money to have another clothing store there. I suggested to a number of local merchants that they should build a Tivoli Garden there instead closed in with a glass enclosed type Victorian green house structure, so people could site inside in during the cold winters and hot summers and sip tea and coffee on the Avenue and wander around in a Tropical paradise, but I suppose the people in Greenwich don't understand the Quality of life type architecture that they could build instead of think in terms of cost per square foot architecture. That is why they vetoed my idea for a glass enclosed sun solarium with swimming pool on the roof of the new Hospital and the Peterson addition at the library. The locals would rather invest in cruise ships and escape to more exotic destinations that weather out the four seasons here. Just like when the local people in Greenwich are poor they summer in Nantucket to save on expenses, and when they are rich, they vacation in Europe. Thus since the last few years have been prosperous years, I would dare say most of the affluent people in town are vacationing in Europe to enjoy the waters of the various European spas and hospitality concerns. Thus in the nature of travel and tourism, we probably have a few package tourists coming our way on the return trips out of Europe, whom are curious to see what life is like on the other side of the big Pond. I have noticed a few retired folks from overseas downtown, whom seem to enjoy sitting down in Greenwich after walking too much in Manhattan. Well after the previous message I did my regular internet work, and I then went out about 6 P.M. and drove down by the waterfront and chatted with some of the locals whom were just starting their days. No news is good news as far as I can tell. Well not much else to report on the home front, I suppose it will be another warm day, so I will have to suffer a little bit of heat when I finally make it out this afternoon. I noticed a big influx of PowerBall Players this morning, there were four people lined up in front of Zyn stationary just before it opened. I suppose after a while people lose interest in standing in line for lottery tickets and would rather gamble on horses over the internet Horse racing and betting from OTB which is a lot more comfortable than cooling your dogs on the Avenue, and I would imagine the odds are better although not the purses. Well so much on social commentary from this neck of the woods, so I would imagine "Nothing is Really Happening" since everyone has made so much money, they all took off traveling, and us lesser mortals are stucking catering to the tourist trade are whomever shows up on the rebound. Remember whenever one of our Good Will Ambassadors takes off from town, someone or a group of people usually show up on the return. Well have a good day, and enjoy the town for what it is. I suppose if you need a vacation there are plenty of alternative destinations, but when needs to relax frequently home is the most familiar and relaxing place. Have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>6/28/99 Monday 3:40 A.M. EDT: I went out about 12:30 A.M.. I drove down by the waterfront and returned to the center of town. It was overcast, so we might be some rain. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue viewing some of the shop windows. I noticed a rat in the street eating garbage in front of Richard's Men store. The items on Greenwich Avenue tend to be very pricey, but it is still intriguing to look at what they're trying to sell, and of course I always enjoy the exercise. It was only about 76 degrees F., so it was not too uncomfortable. I returned home, and I took a chilled 12 oz. can of Alaska tin salmon and a 4 oz. can of flake white tuna fish, and drained them, and flaked them both together in a bowl. I added some herbs and spices along with a small amount of white wine, angostora bitters, two small chopped Vidallia onions, the remains of of some salad dressing and Hellmans mayonaise and one raw egg and mixed it all together. I then put part on two slices of bread and made a sandwich and refrigerated the rest, and sliced two dill pickles and ate it all with a small bowl of goldfish crackers and ice tea. I then cleaned up the dishes. I am not having coffee, since I have to be to bed earlier and up about 2 P.M. tomorrow for a 4 P.M. appointment. It was a very quiet night out, and I suppose tomorrow afternoon will be a little busier with President Clinton in the area at Westport for a fund raiser. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/27/99 Sunday 11:45 P.M. EDT: I was up at 6:30 P.M.. I had breakfast of three fried eggs, toast, five strips of bacon, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I started house cleaning and watering the plants while listening to the BBC Up All Night, third dino. I rested from 9 P.M. to 10 P.M. and just finished the house cleaning and watering the plants. I am making up a batch of icetea.htm which should be done in about a half hour. While it steeps, I will clean up and take a shower. I might possibly go out then for a little fresh air. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/27/99 Sunday 8:25 A.M. EDT: Well I went out after the last message, and I chatted with some of the regular visiting fishermen down by the harbor. I returned to the center of town about 6:30 A.M., and I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue a couple of times. I chatted with a few morning early risers. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought a half gallon of 2% milk for $1.69 and a box of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" for .99 for a total of $2.68. I returned home and filed this report. I suggest in extreme hot weather like we're having, you invest in Frederich Air Conditioning. I believe in India if you want to relieve the heat you add more curry to your cooking, which helps you not feel the heat. I believe interesting meals in hot weather are Greek salads, chilled canne tuna or canned salmon salads, gaspacho, curry chicken salad in a half cantalope, for thirst quinching beverages like Sangria, or ice tea with lots of fruit slices in it. Of course fruit salads or any other chilled concoction like chilled pasta salad with bits of prochuto and red pepper and brocolli bit, whatever is cold. Well as for me I just had Ramen noodles and ice tea. The Ramen noodles with all the salt is actually good in hot weather. I suppose one could study what foods they eat in other places that are hot. Well enjoy the day, and if you're not up to the Buick Classic golf tournament, today the Allman Brothers are doing a NASCAR concert in Hartford, Connecticut Wrenchead.com NASCAR Allman Brother's Concert , however I don't know if it sold out or not. Well have a good day, I am just about to go to bed, and when I get up this evening, I will start my usual Sunday house cleaning routines. CIO

Note:<888>6/27/99 Sunday 4:00 A.M. EDT: I studied the Greenwich Hospital web site Welcome to Greenwich Hospital , and from what I can tell, we're in reasonably safe hands, but I suppose if you had a lot of money and wanted to be more secure, you could buy an apartment near the grounds of Sloan Ketting Hospital or New York Hospital over there around York Avenue in Manhattan, but it tends to be a little bit noisy neighborhood. Of course the air quality is slightly better out here. I here tell the Mayo Clinic Mayo Clinic & Foundation for Medical Education and Research , has certain facilities available, if you don't mind flying out to Rochester, Minnesota. Well I think I will survive here for now. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/27/99 Sunday 3:00 A.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I drove down by the waterfront and chatted with a couple of locals, fishermen, and visitors. I noticed the Greenwich Marine patrol take off on a call over by Belle Haven. I saw a tug boat out in the harbor today that does marine rescue instead of the Coast Guard. Apparently the Coast Guard charges a couple of hundred dollars these days for a tow, so other people are doing the business. I noticed a ring around the moon that is almost full, so hopefully it will rain soon, since it is awfully dry in the area. I saw two trucks with the web address Wrenchead.com which is an online Auto Parts store. I suppose since that business is very lucrative, they will be making a little bit of money. I returned to the center of town, and I walked the lower part of Greenwich Avenue, and it was extremely hot and sultry. Well I will begin to slow down, and relax. I guess all the golfers are an early morning crowd, so there was not much late night activity this evening. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/26/99 Saturday 11:45 P.M. EDT: Well on a minor note, the noise I heard in the laundry room cieling last night, I checked at about 6:30 this morning, and another neighbor said it was probably squirrels. I checked it at 4:30 P.M. this afternoon with a flash light, and the walls go up to the original cieling height, so it was probably just heat from the laundry room causing the ventilator ducts to make noise. I have pointed out to a number of residents that the area to the left as you enter this building through the front entrance all along the left side of the hallway is sealed off, and perhaps an old furnace or other oddity is there. I suppose it would make a good storage room, if they ever opened it up, but it would not be practical for an apartment, since it has no windows. CIO

Note:<888>6/26/99 Saturday 10:55 P.M. EDT: Well I woke up at 4 P.M., and I had GU raisin bran, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins for breakfast. I went back to bed and at 6 P.M., I had a call from a friend. I showered and dropped off some of his personal belongings he had stored at my place, and I chatted for a while. I returned to stopped by CVS in Riverside and bought a carton of Tampa cigar cigarettes for $12.92. I returned to central Greenwich, and Steamboat Road was croweded and no parking, so I parked in central Greenwich and drank a diet Pepsi. I walked down by the waterfront, and viewed the regular harbor cocktail party at the Greenwich Harbor Inn. I am sure lots of famous golfers are in the area since the Buick Open is going on. I walked on down to the bottom of Steamboat Road, and the regular crowd was not there, but it was packed full of fishermen. One fellow caught an eel. I walked back up Steamboat Road. There were two news trucks parked in front of Zyns reporting on possible Powerball mania again, ABC and Fox. I chatted with the ABC news people and gave them a few tips on covering Manhattan. I also told him a bit that was going on in the area. I sat out and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue again. I drank a Citra soda on the hot sweaty night. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue again. I sat out at the Post Office plaza and chatted with a local about how poorly the computer press was doing anymore with everyone on the internet. I returned home, and I am cooking a Red Baron pizza for dinner which should be ready shortly. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>6/26/99 Saturday 4:50 A.M. EDT: I downloaded a Oracle application server that I tried to install, but it would not install properly. I guess it is time to call it a day. Quite day for a change. CIO

Note:<888>6/26/99 Saturday 2:30 A.M. EDT: I had a Stauffer's frozen lasagna for dinner, ice tea, and coffee. I did a little internet work. I watched a little of ABC at 10 P.M.. I rested from 10:30 P.M. to midnight. I did my laundry, and I watched a bit of the History Channel and CSPAN. I heard a noise above the laundry room false cieling and a cieling panel was ajar. Perhaps it was the heat rising from the dryers. I can't imagine anyone crawling around the false cielings. There is not much to report. I have not been out today, since I don't have much to do; and of course at the end of the month I am low on funds for keeping busy. Well the ends of the months are always very quiet for me. Have a good morning. Perhaps now that I have lots of baud width, I might try chatting on the internet; but I have not really done that in quite a lot time; and I frequently get tired of chatting. CIO

Note:<888>6/25/99 Friday 8:20 P.M. EDT: Well I was up at 2 P.M. this afternoon. I had three fried eggs, four strips of bacon, toast, vitamins, orange juice and coffee for breakfast. I did some routine internet work. I did a few cable modem tweaks from SpeedGuide.net in the registry. I also made a permanet swapper of 128 megs on the E: drive. I also took the Vcache recommendations. The Windows 98 Drivers Bug tip at Windows 9x Troubleshooting , I fixed by installing the *.vxd files that Windows 98 installation did not install. The system seems a lot better, and is running even better. I am just about to optimize the swapper on my E: drive. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>6/25/99 Friday 1:40 A.M. EDT: Well I went out after the last message, and I chatted with some locals down on Steamboat Road. We had one local show up with his BMW overheating and overflowing coolant. After it cooled down a bit we examined it. Aparently his uncle had worked on it today, and he had installed the upper cowl over the fan improperly, pushing a hose again the fan, causing the fan to jan and break two blades. I got a flash light and towel, and reach underneath the car after it cooled and removed one of the broken fan blades that was still interfering with the fan movement, and I aligned the hose to its proper position, and pushed the cowl into its right place, so the stranded driver and his girl friend were able to return home nearby. I chatted with a few other people. I stopped by the Greenwich Harbor Inn to use the bathroom. No boats were in, but plenty of people were have drinks on the outside harbor terrace. I returned to the center of town and walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the lower section a second time. I chatted with a local night time worker on his way to work. My right leg and foot fell asleep while I was sitting down on the bench, so I had to move it around to get it going. I returned home and had some goldfish crackers and ice tea. I chatted with a friend from across the Sound for about an hour. I had a dish of Hagen Daz ice cream. I guess I will do a little internet surfing. I heard on the BBC that Cardinal Hume of England passed away from cancer, which was not report in the U.S. media. I suppose it is another quiet evening. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/24/99 Thursday 7:45 P.M. EDT: I had dinner of three reheated salmon cakes, a microwaved baked potatoe, steamed brocolli, ice tea; and I am just about to have my coffee. I am listening to the BBC. I noticed in the Greenwich Times at the library today that Staples has Maxtor 8.4 gigabyte hard drives on sale for $99.99 sale price. The sales brochure appears that this is the actual price and not a rebate price. Well after my coffee, I might go out for an evening stroll. I noticed in an article at http://www.internetnews.com that @home is putting a 128 Kbytes upspeed on their service as opposed to the 3 megabyte download speed. CIO

Note:<888>6/24/99 Thursday 5:45 P.M. EDT: I was up at 1 P.M. today. I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I cleaned up and went out. They are installing another cable along the Post Road in the center of town. I stopped by the Hospital Thrift shop, and they have a Victorian sitting chair there for $250 in pretty good shape. I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I stopped by the Greenwich Library and read the local paper, and I also read P.C. Computing. I returned home and chatted with a couple of neighbors. My next door neighbor's daughter is moving out her belongings. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm which was down quite a bit today. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>6/24/99 Thursday 5:00 A.M. EDT: I read my email. I downloaded ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/OpenLinux/1.3-dos-install/ in my D: drive that I emptied and uninstalled and installed as FAT16, but although the program downloaded in its entirety, I could not get it to install by disabling my C: drive in the CMOS, and installing it into the D: drive which was then the C: drive. The Linux program kept saying I did not have a drive to install on, and I was not going to run Linux Fdisk and risk losing my Windows 98 system. Thus I saved the download on the C: drive as Linux folder, and I reformated the D: drive and Fat32 it. I transferred its contents back from the C: drive where I had stored them. Well I then had a the last of the smoke salmon with onion and chive cream cheese sandwich with mayo and a glass of ice tea. I am tired, and it is time to go to bed. I have a 3 P.M. appointment today, so I will have to be up at 1 P.M.. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/23/99 Wednesday 11:55 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought a 12 oz. bottle of STP STP The Racers Edge Fuel Injection and Carberator Cleaner for $3.29 plus .20 tax for a total of $3.49. I put it in the Volvo's gas tank right away, since I have a full tank. After about five minutes, the car started running fine. Frequently with autombiles with fuel injection, one needs to add Fuel Injection cleaner every six months, and this cleans out the injector system and the injector nozzles, and it immediately starts running much better. It is an inexpensive remedy to a common automobile problem. I parked downtown and walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. It was a very quiet night out, and hardly anyone was out, except a full house of college kids in the Sundown saloon. I noticed one patron from 64 Greenwich Avenue exiting the restaurant, and then drive up Greenwich Avenue the wrong way in a Buick with New Jersey license plate. I guess he was disoriented. I returned to the center of town, and I noticed an ambulence, bicycle patrolman, and two police cars responding to a Pedestrian in need who looked like he had feel down and had a big mark on his forehead or black eye. I returned home and filed this report. I generally do not go down to Steamboat Road after sunset other than driving around and turning around because it is a dark road, and anyone could be loittering down there, although automobiles are not suppose to park down there after 9 P.M.. I noticed in the Greenwich Times today that Fergie cancelled out on the White Birch Farm Polo match this weekend because of a previous engagement in England. Perhaps she is trying to lose weight at Wimbleton munching on strawberries and cream. It is about 70 degrees F. out at midnight, and today it was quite hot, sultry, with bad air. I suppose if we get rain, it might clear up the air a bit. Well have a good night. CIO

Note:<888>6/23/99 Wednesday 9:50 P.M. EDT: I made dinner by taking a 16 oz. can of Alaskan salmon and putting it in the Cuisinart, adding quarters of one Vidallia onion, one egg, two tablespoons of herbal spicey flower and herbs and spices and mixing it all together. The mixture was a little moist for hand formed cakes, so I oiled with olive oil a teflon coated cup cake pan, doing six of the openings. I put one part of the mixture in each of the cup cake openings, and dusted the tops with spicey herbal flower. I cooked the salmon cakes in the convection microwave oven for a half hour a 350 degrees. Fifteen minutes into the process I started steaming corn on the cob and brocolli. At the end of the process I put three of the salmon cakes on the plate along with the vegtables. I had to sperate the cakes from the tin with a knief, but they came out perfectly formed and delicious along with the vegtables and ice tea for dinner. I chilled the other three salmon cakes, and I am now just about to have my coffee. I listened to the BBC while doing this, and I also went through the last two weeks of the Greenwich Post. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>6/23/99 Wednesday 7:55 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I stopped by the Fashion Light Center and bought two fifteen watt frosted candlabbra bulbs for $2.86 total. I stopped by the Exxon gasoline station next to the Greenwich Library and bought $14.25 of premium gasoline. I went by the Greenwich Library and read the local paper. I also read three computer newsweeklies. Not much going on in the computer field. I suggested to the librarian for cleaning computer beige cases and other light office equipment like copies, I use Clorox bleach in a spray bottle, and try not to get the spray into the insides of the computer or other equipment to give it that bright shinny new look. I checked out "Island of the Blue Dolphins" video. I drove down Greenwich Avenue, and it was still a bit warm. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought a half gallon of 2% milk for $1.69. I came home, and I adjusted the air intake on my Volvo for hot weather, and I made sure the hallow rubber hose insulated the ignition wires where they cross the manifold. I installed the two new bulbs on the bathroom scones overlooking the dining table. I had a Citra soda. I put another 12 pack of Citra soda in the refrigerator. I have also installed a Password on my screen saver in case anyone is sneaking into my apartment to use my computer. My former neighbor's daugher is moving her out of the apartment, and she gave me 71 old Nationan Geographics which I put on the bedroom desk. I always enjoyed reading National Geographic, and with all the computer activity for the last ten years, I have not had much chance to read them. Well I guess I will catch up on a few back issues of the Greenwich Post before, I have diner of smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich, steamed corn on the cob, steamed brocolli, ice tea and coffee. Russel Reynolds of Directorship had an editorial in today's Greenwich Times that the town of Greenwich did not show enough attention when George W. Bush came into town for the $1,000 a head fund raiser, however I suppose at those prices quite a few people stayed away. You know dinner with George W. Bush or a new home PC which would you prefer. Well it is hot and dry out, and the grass in non shaded areas is beginning to dry out, so I suppose we could use a bit of rain. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>6/23/99 Wednesday 4:35 P.M. EDT: I had another annoying phone call this morning from somebody from IBM Lotus wanting to me to answer a survey on R5. I told them what I knew, I advised them to email me the 800 number or to send me the demo CD. I went back to bed until 3 P.M.. I tried listening to the BBC, but it was nothing but Wimbleton. Instead I listened to the second Dino, the Voice of Russia. The mentioned that they have built a new super armoured tank called the "Black Eagle". There was a discussion on Puskin and a historical dissertation on Russian porcelan. I had breakfast of three fried eggs, five strips of microwaved bacon between paper towels, two slices of toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. The Russian broadcast mentioned something about a 1,000 Kilograms of Caviar. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm , which was only up about $25 today. I guess the Pop Corn market down on Wall Street is not doing much since the high flying yuppies are away on vacation. Well I have not been out since Sunday evening, so I guess I should start cleaning up, and go out to fill up the gasoline tank on the Volvo and stop by the library and read some computer press. I should be out in about an hour. Well stay cool. CIO

Note:<888>6/23/99 Wednesday 2:30 A.M. EDT: Well I watched the ABC evening news. I relaxed around doing a little internet work. I watched a little bit of the Learning Channel. A family member survived heart surgery. I had relatives in the area this weekend who did not look me up. I chatted with another family member. In thinking about the Royal wedding, I have this internet page from a few years ago british.htm . Fergie is suppose to be in town this weekend for a Polo Match. I once chatted with William Simon and his wife about horses, and he financed Fergie's "Budgie the Helicopter" coloring book. I think she advertises for Weight Watchers International , but recent photos of the Queen looks like she has put on a few pounds herself, so I guess they all have to keep up their weight to keep Prince William under control. I noticed a few other pages Sweden Royal Family Välkommen till Kungl. Hovstaterna , Netherlands Royal Family From Johan Willem Friso to Queen Beatrix , and Sultan of Brunei Government of Brunei Darussalam who seems to have two wifes. Well I guess if you are a Sultan, you can have more than one wife. Of course if he wanted to move to America, he could just become a Mormon and live a simpler life. Well I looked for that old "M" magazine from about twelve years ago that had the article on Nantucket, William Paley, and photographs of all the European Royal families, but it seems to have disappeared mysteriously. Maybe some enterprising young Royal Watcher should compile a web list of all the Royal sites with photographs for the general public to view. It would probably be an educational experience. Well I have stomach acid from being hungry, so perhaps I will have some Ramen noodles before trying to go to bed again for the last three hours. I made a briefing phone call to another group whom seem to stay up at night. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>6/22/99 Tuesday 6:10 P.M. EDT: Well I have finished my daily work. I did my email and my daily work list scotwork.htm . I noticed in the British Press Photos of President Clinton overseas, he seems to have a bug or mosquito bit on his right cheek about two and a half inches south east of the right ear. I guess he got bit by a bug. I also installed Netscape Communicator 4.6 which I never use. Basically days like today, although they are good to most people, if you have allergies or are bothered by air pollution are not always a good day. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . I will now have dinner of a smoke salmon with onion and chive cream cheese sandwich, with steamed corn on the cob with steamed brocolli, ice tea, and coffee. After dinner I will clean up, and possibly go out. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>6/22/99 Tuesday 4:00 P.M. EDT: I am doing my regular internet work. I am through the last few days' email. I updated satphoto.htm .CIO

Note:<888>6/22/99 Tuesday 11:50 A.M. EDT: I was awake at 10 A.M. this morning by the Navy Web Master calling to complain that I had the ValueClick web advertising on navy1.htm . I tried to explain to him that calling me at 10 A.M. is like calling somebody at 3 A.M.. I had him email me his complaint and I removed the ValueClick Advertising from navy1.htm . He said he would refer the matter to the Department of Justice, if I did not remove the advertising link. I called the White House Secret Service Intelligence division at 202-435-5000. They said they did not involve themselves in Internet Activity. I checked with another authority here in town. I also checked with a family member who said another family member is having surgery at 2 P.M. this afternoon. I will now have breakfast, and try to have a good day. CIO

Following is my "Michael Scott's" reply:

Internet Advertising removed from pages.
The page is part of the downloadable directory, and nobody every looks
at it anyway.

However, if you were working at a remote internet site, and had access to the downloadable
directory, you would have links which one might be able to access from a more remote location,
which is the purpose of the directory.

Show the page again to Jimmy Johnson "Chief of Navy Operations" and see if there is anything wrong
with it now.

Since nobody uses the directory off the server, it is all totally irrelevant.

I have checked with the White House, and they said not to bother me.

This site originally started as a Decoy Project to catch somebody like the "Unibomber"
five years ago. I just let the site ride since most people did not have the capability of producing
this site, with the technology five to three years ago.

I have not recieved any compensation from any Corporate or Government group, the ValueClick Advertising
pays for my my Cable Modem which is $42 plus $43 for Optimum Online TV which you also have to have.

Thus the $40 to $65 I get pays for the internet connection.

I would not get involved in this, since the state of Connecticut has all ready quit paying for my heat and
electricity, which is not fair to me a legally disabled citizen living on SSI with severe arthritis .

Basically we are neighbors of the Bushs and since my family was involved in founding the U.S. Military, I happen to have
met anyone of prominence in this century.

As a volonteer project taking close to 50,000 hours; I don't pretend the site is a professional job,
but you have to remember, five years ago when I started Tim Berners Lee emailed me to keep up the
concept of a downloadable directory.

Thus without any funding the site has been produced, so take it for what it is or use another portal.

If you want me to remove the U.S. Navy from the downloadable directory, you will have to contact
somebody in Justice and have them look into whether legally you can do that.

I don't think you can.

I did remove the click through advertising link.

Tell those SOBs down there, if they want to keep there jobs, "Not To Make Waves",
I know plenty of Key West Navy personnel whom are now serving in places like
Diego Garcia and Greenland, who might actually have enjoyed using the downloadable directory.

Yours Truely,

Michael Louis Scott, Esquire
