Note 09/07/97 Sunday 10:30 PM EDT: I watched Princess Diana's funeral on Saturday morning. I went for a drive on Saturday afternoon. I had a friend over for coffee Saturday night. I got up at noon on Sunday and cleaned my apartment and watered the plants. I went out to a friend's for dinner on Sunday evening. We had a light sprinkle on Sunday evening. We might get more rain. The Greenwich library is still closed on Sundays. I plan to relax for the rest of the evening after checking my email.
Note 09/05/97 Friday 11:00 PM EDT: I made a recording of the ABC's Real Audio broadcast of Queen Elizabeth II's, Princess Diana Remembrance Speech and placed it on my web sites. This afternoon I went out to Tod's Point and walked around and relaxed for a couple hours. I had a dinner guest over for dinner. I spent the rest of the evening working on the recording and am about to go to bed, so I can be up early. CIO
Note 09/05/97 Friday 9:15 AM EDT: Up at 6 a.m. this morning. I finished typing the Greenwich, Connecticut Religious Faith Forum which is taken from a page in the Greenwich Post. I might stop by Tod's Point this afternoon. CIO
Note 09/04/97 Thursday 6:25 PM EDT: Surfed the net a bit this morning and read Pointcast. I had a crosslinked file in my c:\windows\system and I fixed it by using the bootable disk and running scan disk. You can't fix a cross linked windows system file while it is running. I went downtown after a hour nap at noon and paid my $28 cablevision bill. Lots of people out and about. A good day for sitting in the park downtown. I stopped by the Hospital thrift shop and they are having the usual half price sale. I rehung a mirror outside my bathroom door. I read the computer press in the Greenwich library. The usual cross section of the regular library group was there. They are still working on the parking lot, but I found a spot after 3 PM. Work is progressing on the roof of my building. I think one of my ignition wires might be shorting with another, I untangled them; and hopefully that will fix the clicking sound. I am just about to update www.mikescott.net/scopor01.htm my daily stock report. I am having a guest down for dinner at 7:30 PM tonight. The Greenwich Post has news about Polo events in the area. There is a listing of church times in the Greenwich Post for those of you who have time to go to church on Sunday. Perhaps some time I will copy the directory and post it on my site. That all for now folks. CIO
Note 09/04/97 Thursday 7:55 AM EDT: www.bild.de photo of Princess Diane's Accident aftermath. Photo is blurry. CIO

Note 09/04/97 Thursday 5:00 AM EDT: Up at 4:00 AM and had breakfast. I slept from 6:00 PM last night. Watched CSPAN program about OPEN SOURCE SOLUTIONS, Inc. before logging onto the computer. I will do a little routine system work this morning. Breakfast usually consists of 8 vitamins, hot or cold cerial, two slices of toast or one English muffin, 12 oz. orange juice, and 12 oz. of coffee with nutrasweet and half and half.

Note 09/03/97 Wednesday 5:00 PM EDT: Up since 2 AM. I mailed ATT answering phone to Maine. I returned CDs to library. I bought a $31.80 4' X 3' mirror with curved top at MEWS thrift shop and hung it beneath marlin in the apartment with $6 hardware. I have not been on the internet since 9AM. Greenwich is quiet with old guard about town. The library was moderately busy. The parking lot still has a way to go. It is nice cool mid 70's day. Best of wishes to ill relatives, wish all speedy recovery. Started listening to music again while in the apartment and on the computer which is very relaxing. I am trying to focus on local activity to neglect of following other events. Repair of roof seems to be progressing on schedule. There was a good wind for sailing today. CIO
Note 09/03/97 Wednesday 8:55 AM EDT: Tuesday morning I paid bills. I made the rounds around town, and lots of young children were out going back to school. I slept a lot on Tuesday. I surfed the net Wednesday morning chatting with a person in Tuscon, Arizona who told me they arrested on average 500 people a night on drunken driving charges. I also chatted with a person in Seattle who told me that there is some concern about volcanic activity around Mount Rainier. I downloaded the July version of sound drivers for my Creative Labs SW32 and installed them. I chatted with a Vocaltec developer and told him on my system that Iphone disk caches too much. One of the tech newletters listed the tabloid links in Germany that publish the censored Diana photographs which I will link BILD online , primarily to inhibit young people from trying to ride in automobiles with drunken drivers. Microsoft also has a new German site with ZD, ZDF.MSNBC Titelseite . Other news the system is running perfectly fine, but while the weather is nice today I might rest this morning and try to go out and enjoy some nice weather. I have started reading Arthur C. Clarke's 3001, which I hope to get through. The fellow in Tuscon told me that he was able to buy an internet color camera there for $40. I dare say that someone might object to the BILD online link, if they do email me and I will delete it. It will only take one email for it to be deleted.
Note 09/01/97 Monday 10:30 PM EDT: I was contacted 11:30 PM on Saturday about Princess Diane's accident. I followed the media coverage on CNN on Sunday morning. When they announced her passing away on at 4:00 AM EDT on Sunday morning, I posted her picture in mourning black on my internet homepage. I rested on Sunday and watched more media coverage. I cleaned my apartment while I was watching media coverage. I went to bed on Sunday night and got up Monday morning. I had a guest over for the day who watched television all day. We had shell steaks for dinner which were on sale at the Grand Union today. My British categories seem to be very busy on my internet site. I had a headache today from the large amount of automobile pollution in the area caused by people returning from holiday. CIO
