Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 10:25 P.M.  I chatted with a relative.  I finished configuring the OpenSUSE partition on the Dell Latitude 4600i computer.  Its Grub boot loader on installation on a second partition on the first hard drive recognized Windows XP Professional on the first partition on the first hard drive and Windows 8 Developer on the second hard drive, so one does not have to use the Dell F12 key at boot up to boot Windows 8 Developer.  Of course the second hard drive with Windows 8 Developer might be failing, but if that happens, I can install Windows 8 Developer on a spare 40 gigabyte IDE hard drive that I have.  CIO 

Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 7:40 P.M.  I showered, and I cleaned up, and I put foot fungus cream on my feet and right hand palm.  I threw out the garbage.  I did not get any mail today.  CIO 

Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 6:45 P.M.  I went to bed after the last note.  I had a computer marketing telephone call about 9 A.M..  I had a no person telephone call about noon.  Around 3:30 P.M., I received a telephone call from www.geico.com about the hit and run accident I saw on Greenwich Avenue about a month ago.  I told them what I could remember, and I told then I did not get the license plate number.  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk.  I went back to bed until 6:15 P.M..  I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed.  CIO   

Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 7:50 A.M.  I have the updates installed on the OpenSUSE partition on the Dell Latitude 4600i computer.  I will configure it at a later time.  I will now shut down the primary work computer and go to bed.

Earlier I ate a scone.

Thus after I install the Windows XP Professional Updates on it, I will install www.opensuse.org on the second partition on the first hard drive.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 2:45 A.M.  I have not cleaned up yet.  I took the spare unconnected old Seagate IDE 160 gigabyte hard drive out of the FIC server, and I put it in the Dell Latitude 4600i computer as the primary hard drive with the second Western Digital 80 gigabyte hard drive as the second hard drive.  However, the Windows 8 Developer backup that I had made to the Western Digital external hard drive would not restore from the Windows 8 DVD.  I even tried Windows 7 and Vista DVDs to restore it.  I reconnected the Western Digital 80 gigabyte hard drive as the primary drive, but the XP Boot Manager disappeared, and I was not able to restore it by the XP Boot Manager Repair process or with EasyBCD.  I reconnected the Seagate 160 gigabyte hard drive as the primary drive, and I partitioned it with the Vista DVD into two 75 gigabyte partitions.  I am now restoring the Paragon backup of Windows XP Professional to it, and then I will install its updates, and I will then reinstall Windows 8 Developer on the second partition.  Once  I have it configured, I will make a Paragon Backup from Windows XP Professional of both partitions to the second hard drive and the Western Digital external hard drive.   This will take some time.  However, I will have a better hard drive in the Dell Latitude 4600i computer.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/29/11 Thursday 10:55 P.M.  I rested some more.  I ate five chocolate chip cookies.  I sort of feel worn out a bit from my walking last night, but it might possibly be from not eating enough food.  I have plenty of food in my apartment, and I feel full, so that might not be the problem.  I have very low blood pressure, so when the barometric pressure is low when it is raining, it makes me feel tired.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/26/11 Monday 4:10 A.M.  With all of the www.un.org activity such as Prime Minister David Cameron speech on Arab Spring to United Nations , I thought I would make my apartment more diplomatic.  I fixed the picture frame on the upper right of the bathroom sink with the pictures of the various Royalty, since some of them had become crooked, since the Scotch tape had worn out.  I moved the small Scottish Cross of St. Andrews on the left side the Cablevision box with the small Florida flag behind it, and on the right side of the Cablevision box, the small Dutch tricolor flag with the small U.S.A. flag behind it.  Then over the right hallway bookcase, I put the extra large Scottish Cross of St. Andrews flag with the extra large British Union Jack flag over that.  Over the left hallway bookcase, I put the large www.airforce.mil flag, then the large Saudi Arabian flag over that, and then the large Bermuda flag over that, with the large Swedish flag over that, with the large British Union Jack flag over that, and finally on top in front the large Dutch Tricolor flag.  Thus I have the more diplomatic setup in my apartment that has existed during the colder weather for many years.  Not that anyone ever visits me, particularly having the apartment probably infected with Foot Fungus, but it does not hurt to be prepared.  I ate a corn muffin.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/26/11 Monday 1:50 A.M.  I threw out the garbage after the last note.  I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.   There were only a few people at the Thataway cafe.  There was one web surfer outside at Starbucks.  I sat out at various locations.  There were also a few people at McDuffs and a few people at the Barcelona cafe.  After my walk, I drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road.  There was one couple there on a motorcycle.  The Seafair is no longer at the Delamar Hotel.  There are a few other smaller pleasure craft there.  I stopped by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $11.01 of self service V-Power gasoline for 2.561 gallons at $4.299 a gallon at odometer reading of 69097 miles for 31.6 miles driving since Sunday September 18, 2011 for 12.339 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic.  I chatted with the regular night time clerk.  They are working on removing the asphalt down the hill west of Vinci Drive.  Part of the road is blocked off.  When I drove into Vinci Drive, there were four police cars and shortly thereafter a fire truck at one of the family units.  I am not sure what the problem was.  CIO 

Note: <888> 09/25/11 Sunday 11:15 P.M.  I made up a batch of Michael Louis Scott's Tomato meat sauce to spaghetti of linguine or Michael Louis Scott's Tomato meat sauce to spaghetti of linguine .  I ate one third of it and refrigerated two thirds, and I ate it with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a 12 ounce glass of Nestea iced tea.

I will now go downtown for a late evening stroll.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/25/11 Sunday 9:50 P.M.  Before the last note, I showered, and I cleaned up, and I put foot fungus cream on my feet and right hand palm.  I threw out the garbage.  I could hear the highway department equipment on West Putnam Avenue scrapping off the old layer of asphalt which they will be doing for the next two weeks.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/25/11 Sunday 9:45 P.M.  I ordered two Bottle Cleaning Brush, large size nylon head, Bentley | eBay for GBP $2.58 and shipping via Royal Air Mail for $2.64 for $5.22 GBP for $8.30 total U.S.A. dollar.   I need them for cleaning my Rubbermaid quart containers that I keep milk in.  It is hard to find a bottle brush with a long handle.  I guess that is all I need from England unless they can spare a few fivers.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/25/11 Sunday 7:05 P.M.  Local Market Research | Demographic Information | Scarborough called up to make sure that I sent in both surveys, which I did.

It says here Population of Scotland | Statistics of Scottish City Population | The Official Gateway to Scotland , there are 5.2 million people in Scotland, so since there are 7 billion people on the planet, and if one divides 7 billion by 5.2 million, one in every 1346.159 people is Scottish, so in a mixed population like the New York City area, one has to see a lot of people from around the world, for every Scottish person that one sees.  CIO  

Note: <888> 09/25/11 Sunday 6:35 P.M.  Back in the "Good Old Days" when gasoline was less than $2.50 a gallon, I used to drive up to New Canaan, Connecticut once a month via the Merritt Parkway, and I would tour the quaint downtown area of New Canaan.  Next to the fire station, there was the Visiting Nurse thrift shop.  There use to be two CVS stores in downtown New Canaan as well as a Starbucks next to the New Canaan train station.  I guess with the higher prices of gasoline, the New Canaan people feel really isolated in their remote village environment.  At least in Greenwich, we get to see a lot of visitors off I-95 and out on the train from Manhattan.  Thus Greenwich is better for people watching, but people watching does not pay the bills.  Manhattan is good for people watching, but at $20 for a round trip train ride into Manhattan, I do not need to see that many people.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/25/11 Sunday 6:15 P.M.  I chatted with a relative about 10 A.M..  I finally woke up at 3 P.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk.  I went back to bed until 5:15 P.M..  I chatted with a friend.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  CIO

Taft rolls over Brunswick football - GreenwichTime

One would never know it by looking at me today, but when I attended The Taft School from the fall of 1965 to the spring of 1968, I was one of the smaller people in the school, so I guess my other classmates are a lot larger.

I am still six feet tall, and I currently weigh 222 pounds, so I have put on about a hundred pounds, since I graduated from Taft.

I am afraid if showed up at any alumni functions, they might not recognize me at the greater weight.

I will now send out my weekly notes.  I will then shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed.

Note: <888> 09/24/11 Saturday 3:55 A.M.  I am installing the Windows XP Professional updates on the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer.  Not to much ever happens around here, when I am on a night schedule, and I simply keep busy working on the computers.  Of course way over in the Eastern Hemisphere, they are awake and going at full steam, so they might be making news over there while we snooze here.  From what I know in all my visits to Europe, there are not too many people awake there at night either.  I think in England all of the pubs still have to close at 11 A.M., so they are mostly daytime people over there.  It is very peaceful on a night schedule, and not too much really happens to distract one from one's night time activity.  Of course I get out for early evening walks, so I get to see a few people ending their days.  With all of the traffic on I-95 there are always people driving through this area 24 hours a day.  New York City has a lot of people awake at night, since at night when it is less crowded, they are able to do a lot of the maintenance and also the trucks can more easily make deliveries.  Obviously there are a lot of cleaning personnel working at night.  Obviously the hospital are opened 24 hours, so there is always somebody awake there.  However, I got to be on a night schedule gradually evolved, since nobody ever wanted to hire me in the daytimes, and I got use to the more peaceful routines at night.  Even in college at www.lfc.edu I had a lot of afternoon classes, so I would be up into the early morning hours studying and working.  When I was with out a home in Florida, I was forced to be on a daytime schedule, but I would frequently sleep on the beach in the daytime and wander around at night until I became worn out.  In Nantucket, I usually did not get out of the restaurants until 4 A.M. in the morning, so I obviously was not awake that much in the daytime besides sleeping on the beach occasionally.  In Russia everything is opened 24 hours a day 7 days a week, so there are more people whom work at night.  Also in the winter in the northern part of the world, the day light hours are short.  I guess it is my Scottish heritage that makes me more of a night person, since Scotland is way up north.  I guess when the Scott family first came to America, they were probably wandering around at night trying to avoid the Indians.  The Scott family used to have two farms in Manhattan until 1700, and part of their property became the Jay family property, when one of their daughters married into the Jay family.  The Scott family until 1700 also owned all of Long Island.  The Scott family also had land grants in Virginia, so obviously they were established quite early during the English arrival to America.  Whether any of the family members have managed to hang on to any large parcels of property is opened to debate, since I am such a public person here, nobody in the family would tell me anything that might disturb their more private lives.  Obviously when somebody named Scott produced paper, there might have been some forests behind them to produce the timber to produce the paper.  I know there are a lot of Scott family members up in Canada, so maybe the larger members of the family have expanded into the Canada, when the lower 48 states got to be too crowded as if there were not enough room in the Midwest or Upper Midwest.  The way I figure it after 400 years, there are probably a half million to a million descendants of the Scott family around the country, so they seem to be a rather quiet family that nobody hears too much about.  Probably a lot of them still live in more rural areas, and thus they do not draw much national attention.  The richest Scott family member that I know about is Chester Scott, and he was from Omaha, Nebraska, and he was Warren Buffet's original partner.  Scott is also the family name of the Marquis of Queensbury's family in England, and since their title of nobility is the highest title outside the immediate Royal family, they might possibly also have some money.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/21/11 Wednesday 8:45 P.M.  I went out after the last note.  I threw out the garbage.  I went downtown to the http://www.greenwichhardware.com/ , and I bought two package of 10 Rubbermaid Drip Dry Hangers for $3.99 each package and .51 tax for $8.49 total.  I then went further downtown.  I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  I toured CVS.  After my walk, I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center.  I told one of their computer people about Windows 8 Preview Beta Download http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/home and Windows Metro Style Apps Developer Downloads.  I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with a reference librarian and a local lawyer.  I noticed while downtown that Northern Trust - Personal and Institutional Financial Services now has a small office at 165 Mason Street.  I then went to the Stop and Shop.  I chatted with a member of the Lyon family who was buying a Hershey chocolate bar.  He told me the taxes were getting to high in Greenwich, and he was thinking of moving to Fayetteville, North Carolina.  I suggested Lyon Farm Road in Nantucket.  I told him about my concern about the wild cats in the back country area of Greenwich.  I mentioned that where I live in the old Byram School is part of the old Lyon Farm property with the historical Lyon Farm homestead just down the hill that was moved there many years ago.  The Queen Mum of England was a member of the Bowles Lyon family, so it is a Scottish family that use to be able to afford to farm here.  I bought a four pack of day old muffins for $2.25, a 24 ounce bar of Stop and Shop Monterey Jack cheese for $4.99, a 8 ounce can of Stop and Shop grated parmesan and Romano cheese for $2.99, two 6 ounce cans of Stop and Shop extra large pitted olives for $1.50 each can, fresh bananas for .79 a pound for $1.37, and a head of Foxy iceberg lettuce for $1.99 for $16.59 total.  I then returned home.  I picked up the mail.  I put away my groceries.  I chatted with two relatives.  I opened up one package of Rubbermaid hangers, and I hung my new clothes from them in the bedroom closet, and I left the other package on the closet shelf.  CIO     

Note: <888> 09/21/11 Wednesday 2:10 P.M.  CVS no longer carries coat hangers.  I checked with the http://www.greenwichhardware.com/ , and they carry coat hangers.  I will now shower and clean up and put foot fungus cream on my feet and right hand palm, and I will go out downtown.  CIO  

Note: <888> 09/21/11 Wednesday 1:55 P.M.   I ate the remaining Chef's salad with Wish-Bone Italian dressing and olive oil and a 12 ounce glass of Sierra Mist all natural lemon lime soda.  CIO   

Note: <888> 09/21/11 Wednesday 1:10 P.M.  I read the first six pages of the volcano book.  On a chart in the beginning of the book, it says that Yellowstone might destroy the planet around the year 2100.  I went to bed about 9:30 P.M..  I woke up at 8 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk.  I went back to bed until 12:30 P.M., when the NRA called me up doing a survey.  They want to know if the www.un.org should be allowed to take away United States citizen guns rights, and I voted "NO".  I then chatted with one of their representatives.  I will now wash the breakfast dishes, and I will make my bed.  Since I am extremely near sighted, I do not now how to use a gun.  However, when I was eight years old, and I went to Lookout Mountain Camp near Chattanooga, Tennessee, I learned how to fire a 22 rifle, and I still have my NRA badges, but except for the time I bought a shotgun at www.sears.com while at www.lfc.edu back around 1970, which shot gun fell apart on me, when I tried to use it for trap shooting, I have no experience with firearms.  I do have an older friend close to 70 years old whose father once belonged to the Camp Fire Club near Mount Kisco, New York, which was the gun club that Teddie Roosevelt belonged to.  I also was shot at here in Greenwich, Connecticut at Tod's Point about 10 years ago by a sniper, so obviously somebody in this area still has guns.  CIO    

Note: <888> 09/20/11 Tuesday 7:45 P.M.  I ate a bowl of Cheez-its and four chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies.  I will now shut down the primary work computer.  I will either go to bed early or read some of Amazon.com: Eruptions that Shook the World (9780521641128): Clive Oppenheimer: Books .

Afternoon showers tomorrow and 75 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit.  CIO 

Note: <888> 09/20/11 Tuesday 6:45 P.M.  I ate a bowl of reheated flavor rice with soy sauce and a glass of filtered water.

Note: <888> 09/20/11 Tuesday 5:25 P.M.  On my primary work computer, Internet Explorer 8, when I used this page Michael Louis Scott's Bottom Fishing Links kept reloading the www.chase.com site when I came back to it from the other links on the page.  Two days ago, I tried installing Internet Explorer 9, but it would not work at all on my computer.  I uninstalled it back to Internet Explorer 8.  This afternoon to fix the problem, I restored the Complete PC backup from August 21, 2011 of both partitions from the third internal hard drive.  I then copied the few changed files back to the primary drive, and I installed the Windows and McAfee updates.  Thus I no longer have that problem, and the system seems to be running just fine.  Internet Explorer 9 did not work on that earlier configuration either.

One Windows 8 Developer partition on the bedroom Dell Latitude 4600i computer, I tried the Windows 7 method listed by "djassa1", SC101 and Windows 7 - NETGEAR Forums , but the software would not install.  When I tried to do a Safe Boot in Windows 8 Developer, it booted the Windows 8 Developer boot screen with only the Windows XP option to boot.  When I rebooted again, the multiple boot option was no longer there either, so I used the Windows 7 DVD Repair option to repair the multiple boot option on the Dell Latitude 4600i computer.  In Beta testing everything is not suppose to work, since it is just a beta, so it can be all quite frustrating.  Still the Windows 8 Developer edition seems to be stable, and work quite well for web browsing and minor programs.  In restoring the backup, I lost all of yesterday's email.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/20/11 Tuesday 2:35 P.M.  I ate one half of the remaining Chef's salad with Wish-Bone Italian dressing and olive oil and a 12 ounce glass of Sierra Mist all natural lemon lime soda.  I checked the mail, and I did not get any today.  I chatted with the building custodian.  He still has to use a time clock system.  They should make time clock checkers with GPS, so when one is on the premises, one is on the clock, and when one is off the premises, one is off the clock.  I was looking for coat hangers to hang up some of my new clothes, but none were available, so I guess I will have to buy some at CVS, when I have the time.  I can not refill my psoriasis cream medicine until September 25, 2011.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/20/11 Tuesday 1:40 P.M.  If you happen to be stuck in Greenwich, China, you could look into taking the Orient-Express:An iconic travel collection - luxury hotels, resorts, trains, restaurants, riverboats - experience a journey like no other from China to Venice to catch the boat back to America.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/20/11 Tuesday 1:20 P.M.  I woke up at 8 A.M..  I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk.  I washed the breakfast dishes.  I made my bed.  I showered, and I cleaned up.  I put foot fungus cream on my feet and right hand palm.  I threw out the garbage.  I went to my 11 A.M. appointment.  My new social worker use to work for www.ibm.com in Sommers, New York, so she knows something about computers.  The have an espresso cappuccino machine in the Cafe Truck in the Greenwich Town Hall parking lot.  They also serve paninis.  I returned home, and I chatted with two relatives.  One can sail from Venice, Italy to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for 16 days on the Queen Victoria for $1,143 on November 20, 2011, and for more information visit Cunard Cruise Line : Luxury Cruises : Luxury Cruise Ships - Cunard and Cunard's Feel Famous Fares - Cunard  CIO      

Note: <888> 09/19/11 Monday 9:35 P.M.  I chatted with two relatives.  I ate an apple tart and two bowls of Cheez-its.  I will not go through my email tonight.  I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon.

I have a 11 A.M. appointment tomorrow, so I will be up at 8 A.M..

Showers tomorrow and 68 to 61 degrees Fahrenheit.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/19/11 Monday 8:15 P.M.  On the Dell Latitude 4100i desktop computer Windows 8 Developer partition, I installed the Lexmark E238 laser printer with its install program in XP3 mode as an administrator with LPT1 port.  I then installed Netgear Print Server FR114P driver in XP3 mode as an administrator.  I then changed the Lexmark E238 laser printer port to the FR114P Printer Server port.  Thus I have Windows 8 Developer working on the print server network connected to the Lexmark E238 laser printer.

If the boot manager disappears, one can open the edit properties on Download EasyBCD 2.1 - NeoSmart Technologies on the free download of EasyBCD 2.0.2 and reselect Windows XP as the default and first boot option and then save in Windows 8, and when one reboots, one gets both boot options.  It looks like Windows 8 developer tries to repair the boot manager, so it only shows one boot option.  CIO 

Note: <888> 09/19/11 Monday 6:45 P.M.  I made a triple chef's salad, and I refrigerated two thirds in a Rubbermaid container, and I ate one third with Wish-bone Italian dressing and olive oil and a 12 ounce glass of Sierra Mist all natural lemon lime soda and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetner and lemon juice.  CIO  

Note: <888> 09/19/11 Monday 5:20 P.M.  We had a false emergency pull cord alarm.  I chatted with neighbors.  I can not get the Windows 8 Developer edition to add a network printer, but it would probably accept a plug and play printer.  I don't need to print with it anyway.  On the Dell Latitude 4600i computer, I am doing a Windows 8 Developer Complete PC backup of both partitions which includes the Windows XP Professional partition to the Western Digital external hard drive.  Windows 8 Developer is a pretty good free beta operating system, if one can not afford to buy one, but it takes a bit getting use to with the different interface.  Yesterday, one of my wealthier friends told me that he can only afford to eat at www.mcdonalds.com anymore, so I guess he will finds lot of them in his travels.  CIO 

Note: <888> 09/19/11 Monday 4:15 P.M.  I went out after the last note, and I went to the Greenwich Hospital outpatient clinic for my dental treatment plan.  However, they cancelled my dental treatment plan, since they are closing the Greenwich Hospital outpatient dental clinic at the end of September 2011.  They are in the process of installing a large revolving front door at the main Greenwich Hospital entrance.  I next went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I chatted with a local.  I sat out at various locations.  I toured CVS.  After my walk, I used the bathroom at the senior and the arts center.  I was told because of higher rents the The Thataway Cafe at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue will be closing in two months.  The Greenwich republican party is setting up a campaign office in the old Scandinavian furniture shop across the street from CVS.  I returned home.  I picked up the mail.  I received a package with new clothes from a relative.  I got a pair of Dockers Khaki pants waist 44 inches length 32 inches, a pair Izod pajama leisure pants in blue and white pin strip, two Chaps polo shirts one in Delft blue and the other in navy blue with a few small yellow stripes, a Chaps yellow plaid cotton shits, a Izod orange with small white strips cotton shirt, and a Croft and Barrow white with orange and blue small stripes cotton shirt.  The three cotton shirts are short sleeves. 

I started up the Dell Latitude 4600i computer, and I will try to install the network printer driver on the Windows 8 developer partition.  I might also try to back it up to an external hard drive if I have room on one.  CIO    

Note: <888> 09/19/11 Monday 12:55 P.M.  I will now go out to my dental appointment.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/19/11 Monday 12:45 A.M.  I ate the rest of the roasted tomato and olive oil triscuits with a slice of cheese and a apple tart.  I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon.

I have a 1:30 P.M. dental appointment today.  I will get up at 10:30 A.M..

Mostly sunny today and 67 to 56 degrees Fahrenheit.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/16/11 Friday 12:15 A.M.  I installed Windows 8 Developer 32 bit on the Dell Latitude 4100i desktop computer in a second partition on the first hard drive.  It gave an error that the drive might be failing, since it is a refurbished hard drive I bought from www.newegg.com about six months ago, but it still installed on the second partition.  When I rebooted the Windows XP Professional was not in the Windows 8 boot manager.  However, I was able to figure out a fix.  I installed EasyBCD 2.0.2 which is free on the lower right hand side of the page here Download EasyBCD 2.1 - NeoSmart Technologies on the Windows 8 setup.  One has to wait for Windows 8 Developer to install and update automatically before using EasyBCD 2.0.2.  I then from the Edit Boot Menu option in EasyBCD, I changed the default from Windows 8 Developer to Windows XP.  I then rebooted, but XP came up in the boot menu without Windows 8 option.  I was able to fix that by booting the Windows 7 DVD, and selecting the repair option which installed the Windows 8 boot option to the boot manager.  Thus now both Windows 8 and Windows XP can be booted from the same computer.  Since the Windows 7 DVD repair option is similar the Vista repair option, a Vista CD boot and repair might also work.

I chatted with a friend earlier.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/15/11 Thursday 6:55 P.M.  On the second IBM ThinkCentre on the blue night stand in the living room, the Logitech USB headset microphone would not work, so I took it off, and I put my spare new Logitech USB headset on it.  Windows 8 Developer edition caused product activation to come up on the primary partition, so I restored my Complete PC backup, and thus the second IBM ThinkCentre is the way it was before I installed the Windows 8 Developer beta.

I put two new AA alkaline batteries in the Logitech wireless keyboard on the Dell Latitude 4600i computer in the bedroom.  I then did a quick low level format of it with the Seagate Utilities to remove OpenSUSE Linux partitions and XP Professional.  I am now restoring the XP Professional partition with the Paragon Backup Utilities which will be 40 gigabytes on a 80 gigabyte hard drive, and then I will put the Windows 8 developer beta on it.  The audio card on it is a Creative Live PCI audio card which might not work with Windows 8, but its headset should work.  It has two monitors which might be useful for the Windows 8 developer edition with all of its sub windows and desktops.  CIO

The FIC server was running poorly, so I restored the Complete PC backup from July 30, 2011.  However, the latest version of McAfee Internet Security 2011 two year license copy was not on the backup, so I had to reinstall it.  I am now doing a Complete PC backup to the second hard drive.  I then will do a Complete PC backup to the Seagate external hard drive.  CIO  

Note: <888> 09/14/11 Wednesday 2:40 P.M.  I have been watching the Microsoft Developers conference.  I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed.  I threw out some boxes that various items came with along with the other garbage.  I let the mail person use my WD-40 to lubricate the mail box locks in the mail room downstairs.  I chatted with a neighbor.  I picked up the mail, and the order with tracking of UPS: Tracking Information for JCPenney : Levi's® Messenger Bag for $19.99 less 10% off with coupon code "RMNAFF10" for $17.99 and $5.99 shipping and handling and $1.52 tax for $25.50 total arrived.  It is a bit too large to use as an every day tote bag, but I can use it for carrying a laptop computer or other large items like hats and scarves in the winter.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/14/11 Wednesday 12:25 A.M.  I downloaded the 32 bit version of the Windows 8 Developers preview, and I burned two copies to DVD.  I installed it on the second IBM ThinkCentre on the blue night stand in the living room on a second partition.  It works just great, but it is an entirely new experience.  One needs to use the Windows Key to bring up the desktop when one changes to one of the other sub desktops.  On my computer setup, the Logitech USB headset works, but the SIIG audio card does not work.  I could try running the speakers off the IBM ThinkCentre Audio Jack, so I might try that later.  The default video is too large on my system, so I went to a higher resolution.  To Shut Down, one has to Log Off, and then bring up the Log On Screen with the Windows Key, and then select shut down or restart.  The Developers Edition contains Internet Explorer 10.  Basically it is an entirely new user experience.  Of course, it is just the first public release, so it has another year to go in development, so it might change a bit.  One can not uninstall it, so if one wants to return to just the original setup, one has to be able to restore a backup of one's original setup.  The multiple boot option has a screen that looks like it might be hard to repair, if one simply deleted the Windows 8 partition. 

I am a bit tired, so I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon.

Not much to report from this past summer, since I was stuck inside a great deal of the time with Foot Fungus.  I did read reports about two different Mountain Lions being spotted in Greenwich, Connecticut, and I also saw a baby black panther outside of my building, so perhaps it is better to be on a day schedule because of all the wild cats around.

Scattered thunderstorms today and 72 to 61 degrees Fahrenheit. 

On "911" ten years ago, I had been up all night, and as I recall I went to bed about 6:30 A.M..  A relative called me up, when the first jet hit the World Trade Center, and I started watching the news on television.  As a recall, a friend showed up about three hours later, and advised me to stay inside instead of driving over to Tod's Point to see what I could see.  As I recall, I did not go out for the next few days.  A neighbor told me that the air cover being provided was being provided by NATO.

Note: <888> 09/10/11 Saturday 8:55 P.M.  I went out after the last note.  I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  I sat out at various locations.  On the way up Greenwich Avenue, I witnessed the Greenwich Police arresting a male suspect at Bitteridge Jewelers.  I toured CVS, and I told a couple of people about it.  On the way further up Greenwich Avenue, I saw a heavy female individual of the same ethnic back ground as the Bitteridge Jewelers suspect on a two seater motorcycle in front of the People's Bank, so possibly that was the get away vehicle, but the Greenwich Police did not interview the individual.  I told a couple of more people about the incident on the way down Greenwich Avenue.  I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone.  I used the bathroom at Starbucks.  I chatted with a Starbucks regular.  I chatted with a couple more dog walkers.  I walked down Greenwich Avenue, and I stopped by Zen Stationary, and I bought a Fabulous 5s scratch card for a dollar, but I lost.  I then returned to my Audi.  I drove down by the waterfront to Grass Island.  I chatted about the world with a Grass Island regular.  There seemed to be a little bit of waterfront activity going on.  I then went to the Stop and Shop, and I bought a 16 ounce package of Smart Balance lite spread for $2.50, a four pack of 5 ounce cans of Bumble Bee solid white tuna for $3.99, a CAB top round London Broil for $3.99 a pound for $6.38 and a head of Cello Iceberg lettuce for $1.99 for $14.86 total.  I chatted with someone moving to Naples, Florida.  I then returned home, and I forgot to pick up the mail.  I put away my groceries.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/08/11 Thursday 9:15 P.M.  I threw out the garbage after the last note.  I chatted with a neighbor.  I went downtown to Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out for a while.  I gave someone from Chappaqua, New York four quarters for a dollar.  I chatted with the person about SAABs.  I then went to my 1:30 P.M. appointment.  They are going to install a new 20 foot diameter revolving door on the front entrance of the Greenwich Hospital.  I then drove over to Staples in Old Greenwich, and I bought Logitech C210 Webcam | Staples® for $9.99 and a Allsop Metal Art Jr. Monitor Stand | Staples® for $4.50 and .92 tax for $15.41 total.  One of the cashiers there has a name similar to mine.  I then went to Old Greenwich, and I toured the Rummage Room Thrift shop which has lots of new items.  I also toured CVS and Feinstod Hardware.  I then drove out to the southwest picnic area at Tod's Point, and I sat out enjoying the view of Long Island Sound.  There were a few sailboats out and one old vintage yacht.  I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone.  There were a lot of pink shells piled up at the windsurfing area.   I noticed one large tree was down in the southeast parking area.  I used the bathroom at the southeast concession area.  One long time Tod's Point regular was swimming.  It was not very busy.  I then drove over to the Radio Shack in Cos Cob.  I bought a Memorex DVD Upconverting MVD2047 Memorex MVD2047 Review - DVD Players - CNET Reviews for 60% off for $19.99 and a one year replacement warranty for $2.99 and $1.46 tax for $24.44 total.  I then toured CVS.  I stopped by the Brownstein Optometrist there, and I told them I would try to make it in for an appointment, when I have the time.  I stopped by the Cos Cob liquor store, and I mentioned Rothschild wine.  I then went back down to Greenwich Avenue.  They were just clearing out some sort of boat show from the central part of Greenwich Avenue.  I chatted with a relative on  my wireless telephone.  I then went by the A&P Fresh, and I bought two 12 packs of Thomas' English muffins for $5 both 12 packs, five 19.5 ounce Stouffer's frozen Italian meat and tomato lasagnas for $2 each and fresh bananas for .79 a pound for $1.73 for $16.73 total.  I then bought another lasagna for $2 less a $1.20 in returned cans for 80 cents total.  I then went by the Putnam Shell and 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $14.99 of self service premium V-Power gasoline for $4.499 a gallon for 3.331 gallons for 37.9 miles driving since Sunday September 4, 2011 at odometer reading of 69003 miles for 11.378 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic.  I then returned home, and I brought up my purchases along with the mail.  The order with tracking of FedEx Tracking on the order for two 6 Feet DVI-D to DVI-D Digital Cable, Gold-plated DVI-D Dual Link Connectors and Ferrite core, Support 720p and 1080p HD resolution, DVI Dual Link Digital Cable for $8.99 each for $17.98 total with free shipping arrived.  The front door pass card is not working for some of my other neighbors, so maybe there is something wrong with the front door pass card mechanism.  I put away the groceries.

I hooked up the Memorex DVD player on top of the Panasonic television on top of the Sony television in the living room and underneath the Cable Box.  I used longer cables that I had to connect it to the Sony television front panel audio and video.  I connected the video with a Y Splitter, so one either plug in the DVD or Internet on Video 2 of the Sony television.  It works just fine.  The Memorex DVD remote control is on the table with the other remotes.  I left the box and instructions on the Harvard Char to the right of the TV setup.  I put the CPU stand underneath the third IBM ThinkCentre on the right side of the living room desk.  Thus the keyboard now fits underneath it.  I stored the new Logitech web cam underneath the stereo system for now.  I hooked up one of the gold DVD video cables to the Dell Latitude D4100 desktop in the bedroom connected to the Dell FP2000 monitor.  Thus when one turns that system on now, one has to selected the second video setting 2DVI-D from the third button from the right on the Dell FP2000 monitor.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/08/11 Thursday 11:40 A.M.  I ate a 14 ounce Stouffer's shrimp scampi meal with a 12 ounce glass of diet www.coke.com .  Basically if one wants to lose weight, all one has to do is to eat less.  However, way up here up north in the artic tundra of New England, it helps to have a bit of body fat in the winter, where as one can stay skinnier in the warmer climates down south.  Since I have lived up north most of my life, but I also have lived down south, where I have relatives, I try to see both sides of the Mason Dixon line.  Obviously they might produce a bit of food down south, when there are not droughts.  I guess with so many people in America working cyberspace trying to get ahead, people forget about what is in their own back yard, which is in my case in the winter is a ice skating rink, which does not do much good in keeping food on the table.  Of course, when I lived in Key West, Florida during the winters of 1976 through 1978, I was left eating not too much food, because the tourists eat all of the food, and I lived on meager rations of peanut butter and Cuban bread.  It seems in the winter, I can afford more food up north, so I look a bit heavier at 220 pounds, but a lot of the food I eat is starch such as rice and oatmeal, so it is not necessarily that much energy producing.  Most people men I know around here and a lot of the women, tend to eat more food than I do, so they can afford to be more physically active.  Since working on the computers and the internet does not take as much physical energy but more mental energy, I manage to get by.  I try not to spend too much money on gasoline, since I can order a lot of what I need off the internet, which is cheaper than driving around to neighboring communities, where certain items might be available at a cheaper price.  The "Old Guard" around here tend to have good pensions and more assets, which I do not have, so I am still living like a refugee in America, although the Scott family have been here for over 400 years.  Maybe instead of drinking www.coke.com or www.pepsi.com , I could try drinking some Virginia bourbon, which would give me more courage, and I could start ordering people around base on what I know as opposed to what they know.  I will now shower and clean up and put foot fungus cream on my feet.  CIO

Note: <888> 09/04/11 Sunday 3:10 A.M.  I went out to the central downtown area of Greenwich Avenue.  I walked lower Greenwich Avenue and the train station area.  As I was walking up Greenwich Avenue by the Greenwich Post Office, a cranberry color Toyota Land Cruiser type vehicle came up Arch Street and made a right turn down Greenwich Avenue without stopping.  It hit a turquoise color 4 door sedan Nissan with Maryland License Plates knocking off its rear bumper.  The four wheel drive vehicle did not stop, but I could see it stop down at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue on the left side by the Thataway restaurant.  I called 911 on my wireless telephone, and they took my wireless number, and the Greenwich Police called me up.  They sent two patrol cars, and one checked out where the four wheel drive vehicle had been parked, but it had left by that time.  The other police cruiser took down my information as a witness to the incident, and I continued walking up Greenwich Avenue.  I noticed while walking Greenwich Avenue none of the pubs were busy on lower Greenwich Avenue, but the Barcelona cafe was quite busy just west of the top of Greenwich Avenue.  When I made it up to the top of Greenwich Avenue, I walked around the parking areas of the Barcelona Cafe, but there were only three red SUV vehicles in the parking areas, and none of them had any front end damage on the passenger side.  I then walked back down Greenwich Avenue, and I told the officer investigating the hit and run by the post office that I had not seen the cranberry color Toyota style land cruiser.  I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue and the train station area again.  I did not see any debris where the four wheel drive vehicle had parked after the hit and run.  While walking back up Greenwich Avenue, I ran into the driver of the vehicle that was hit, and as the Greenwich Police had told me, he told me it was a Hertz rent a car.  The police had left.  I helped remove the plastic rear bumper that was lying on the street, and I put it in back seat of the Nissan.  While I was talking with the Hertz rent a car driver, and a white sub compact sedan came down Greenwich Avenue, and we heard it side swipe the rear of a green Ford Explorer parked across the street from the Sun Down Saloon.  We both walked down to make sure it was another incident, and there was a white side view mirror from the white sub compact lying in the street and there was white paint across the back of the green Ford Explorer.  I called 911 again, and we started walking back up Greenwich Avenue, and about half way to the other car, the same police officer showed up again.  We walked back down to the green Ford Explorer, and gave the police officer the information.  We then walked back up to the Nissan, and the same police officer showed up to take the information down from the driver of the Nissan.  I had already given the police my telephone number and identification.  I then sat out for a while by my Audi worrying that it might not be safe to drive home.  I waited until after 2 P.M., when the pubs were closed.  I then headed back home.  I stopped by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $9.01 of self service V-power premium gasoline for $4.499 a gallon for 2.003 gallons for 27 miles driving since Monday August 29, 2011 at odometer reading of 68965 miles for 13.48 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic.  I then returned home.

Note: <888> 09/03/11 Saturday 1:30 A.M.  The Schumacher Instant Power PX-400-3A jump start system never worked too well.  It would lose its charge fast, and I might have overcharged it over the years by leaving it plugged in all of the time, so I will not be replacing its battery. 

I have a Slaymaker Jump Start System  for years that I have replaced the battery on twice, and it is like this 12 Volt Power Supply and Jump-Start , and it has always worked and still shows a full charge, and I leave it plugged in all of the time, so I will rely on it this winter in case I need to jump start the Audi.  Since gasoline is very expensive at about $4.50 a gallon, I frequently do not drive far enough in the winter to keep the battery in the Audi fully charged, so on a cold winter's day, it might not be fully charged.  I have a battery charger, so I technically could take the battery out, and charge it up inside, if it were not powerful enough.

If one looks at 1998 Audi A6 owned by Michael Scott , it notes that I put in a new battery in the Audi on November 5, 2008, so it is now almost three years old.  I paid $90 for it at www.autozone.com .  Thus if the battery should be weak this winter, it would be smarter to buy a new battery for the Audi.  According to this a Duralast Gold battery would be $130 and standard Duralast battery would be $110 Battery | 1998 Audi A6 6 Cylinders A 2.8L SFI | AutoZone.com .  CIO
