<888> 10/30/14 Thursday 4:15 P.M. I will now shower and clean up. There is no point in going downtown to Greenwich Avenue to face the West Coast mafia, when I have a large network of friends on the East Coast whom seem to take care of business in their own simple ways. The most dynamic thing happening around here is that this Saturday the new www.chase.com bank is opening on west side of the Greenwich Library, where the old www.exxon.com gasoline station used to be. It is a mostly a glass building and as someone once said, "People Whom Live in Glass Houses, Should Not Throw Stones". Of course there are some other banks in Greenwich that the general public does not seem to pay much attention to. Thus Greenwich, Connecticut is a minor financial hub which seems to survive despite the turmoil from the nearby Manhattan Indians and the Stamford Financial Center that is suppose to be the world's fourth largest financial center. Still with all of the financial activity in this area, none of the Wampum seems to come my way after 31 years having returned from a summer out in www.nantucket.net , where life is simpler where people manage to survive off clam shells. I guess the West Coast types when they travel east forget about all of the land locked people in between both coasts whom have their own perspective and networks. Up in North Salem, New York where a lot of the rich liberals live, they only seem to pick apples this time of year, but if one can afford the taxes I guess it is more private up there. There is not much of a downtown area in South Salem, New York except for a deli and antique store. In the more remote area of New Canaan, Connecticut, one sees a lot more younger people because the high school is on the main road into town. Ridgefield, Connecticut is less expensive than Greenwich, but it is a lot more remote. Wilton, Connecticut is on the busy Route 7, so a lot of people might be out in the woods around there. Of course Greenwich, Connecticut has a very good local hospital which as one gets older is more important. I think as of November 1, anyone can venture out to Tod's Point in Old Greenwich without a beach pass, and one can bring dogs, but one has to clean up after them. Of course living on the border with New York, one frequently can find shopping in nearby Port Chester, New York more convenient than exploring the wilderness of Connecticut. Nearby www.costco.com in Port Chester, New York seems to attract a lot of the back country Greenwich people whom have room to stock up on supplies unlike apartment people. CIO

<888> 10/30/14 Thursday 2:25 A.M. About 11 P.M. this past evening, I quit charging the three jump start systems and the 2 million watt rechargeable lantern. I have not been out much at night in the cold recently, so I have not been gradually getting use to it, like I used to. Still I have plenty of winter clothes for when it gets colder. I do not drive in the snow though, since although I am good at driving in snow, I am not so sure about the other drivers, particularly those from further down south. It does not usually get severely cold here until the first week of December, which I can recall about five years ago, it was zero degrees Fahrenheit during the first week of December. Still if one keeps busy at home, one can get use to spending more time inside in one's old age. In an emergency I still have two www.army.mil sleeping bags good to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit in case we ever lose heat in this building for an extended time. However, if that ever happened the pipes would probably freeze, so we probably would not be too comfortable living here in those conditions. Still it does not hurt to be prepared for an emergency during winter weather conditions, although I do not seem to get out as much in the cold weather anymore. I noticed the younger people are still walking around in summer clothes, so they are used to colder conditions. CIO

<888> 10/29/14 Wednesday 10:00 A.M. I will now shower and clean up. I have a little bit of work to do around the apartment, so I will probably be staying at home today. I think the general public is bored of seeing me downtown so much of the time, so I will continue to work in my home office, where I manage to keep busy. After all of the years downtown, none of the business or other types in the community want to network with me, so I guess they have another focus in terms of their viewpoint of Greenwich versus my 50 plus years of experience. Of course downtown Greenwich Avenue is only a small part of the local community. However, if one had a bit of money one could drive up to Bedford, New York and loiter on the Bedford town green where not much ever seems to be happening. In the old days, when my family could afford to live in back country Greenwich, most of my friends were from Bedford, New York; so possibly a few of them still live there in remote wilderness of Bedford, where they still have gravel and dirt roads. I once read that John Jay's mother was a member of the Scott family. CIO

<888> 10/25/14 Saturday 10:50 P.M. I finished the system backups for now. I took four large eggs, expire November 8, 2014, and I broke them into a mixing bowl, and I added two tablespoons of milk, and seasoned the mixture with celery salt and oregano and grated parmesan and Romano cheese, and I whisked the mixture together. I then took my seasoned omelet pan, and I added two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a tablespoon of Smart Balance spread, and I heated the pan over medium electric burner heat until the fat bubbled, and then I added the egg mixture. Once the eggs mixture was hardened enough on the bottom, I flipped it over with a spatula to let the top side of the egg mixture cook, and I put three deli slices of ham and three deli slices of American cheese on one side of the top side, and I flipped the other side over it, and I slid it onto a dinner plate with a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread on it, and I ate it all with a 12 ounce glass of Sprite lemon soda. CIO
<888> 10/25/14 Saturday 8:00 P.M. I am doing a Complete PC backup of the IBM ThinkCentre in the bedroom to the Seagate 2 TB USB external hard drive. I chatted with a relative. I will next do a Aomei backup of the Asus netbook, since the Complete PC backup restore process does not work on that device. When one has a home network computers, it is a lot of routine work. CIO
<888> 10/25/14 Saturday 6:55 P.M. I ate 6 ounces of mixed nuts. I am almost finished with the backup of the IBM ThinkCentre along side the Ethan Allen recliner. CIO
<888> 10/25/14 Saturday 6:25 P.M. I went outside, and I chatted with neighbors. I picked up the mail. The Greenwich Housing Authority is raising the bill on our apartments $27 a month to meet increased costs of maintenance. I finished backing up the IBM ThinkCentre in front of mahogany bureau. I am not backing up the IBM ThinkCentre along side the Ethan Allen recliner. I tested the WinPC restore CD that Aomei backup program makes, and it boots just fine and recognizes the Seagate 2 TB USB external hard drive, but I have not tested a restored backup to see if it actually works. CIO
<888> 10/25/14 Saturday 4:00 P.M. I put the large install of the Aomei backup utility on the Windows 10 Technical Preview partition on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table, and I am now backing up the system to the Seagate 2 TB USB external hard drive. I went outside, and I chatted with a neighbor. The mail just now is being delivered. I will next back up the entire system on the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau, and then I will back up the entire system on the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the Ethan Allen recliner. I also have to make a couple of the Linux restore disks from the Aomei backup programs. I will not test the restore process, since I do not want to alter my current configurations, unless I should have major malfunctions. The first thing the old timers in computers teach young computer people is "Backup, Backup, Backup". The second thing they teach you is "GIGO, Garbage In, Garbage Out". Of course our neighbors over at www.ibm.com might do things differently, but that is none of my business. CIO

<888> 10/25/14 Saturday 1:55 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I chatted with neighbors. It appears the Mac Gray laundry card machine is still not fixed, because nobody is using the laundry room. I could try to gain access to the Agnew Morley laundry room to charge up my card or go to the Cos Cob laundry and do laundry, but I have plenty of clean laundry, and on a busy Saturday afternoon, I prefer to relax and stay home and work on my home office computer network as opposed to facing the hoards of weekend shoppers downtown on Greenwich Avenue who have a different focus.

Then one can take a dog www.greyhound.com senior web fare for $37.55 or adult web fare for $39.50 from Miami, Florida to Key West, Florida www.liveduvalstreet.com . Also I think there is a Grey Hound bus terminal in Coral Gables, Florida that might be closer to the Miami airport, and there might be local bus service between the airport and the bus terminal. Of course, once one is down there, one might not survive unless one has money to live off in a very expensive resort which used to be full of homeless types in less prosperous economic times. Of course Pan American Airlines started its original flight network by flying from Key West to Havana, so between the United States Navy pilots and the Pan American Airline pilots, there used to be a lot of flight personnel in Cayo Hueso.

<888> 10/24/14 Friday 11:50 P.M. I braved the local cool tundra of the area, and I drove over to the Stop and Shop. I bought a 59 ounce clear plastic bottle of Tropicana orange juice with calcium for $3, a 42 ounce Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal for $4.59, a honey roasted rotisseries chicken for $4.50, fresh bananas for .49 a pound for $1.19, three sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $2.11 for $15.39 total. They also gave me a four pack of cappuccino muffins for free to replace the blueberry muffins they did not put in my bag this past Monday. I then drove over to CVS on Greenwich Avenue. I bought two 17.5 ounce lightly salted deluxe mixed nuts for $6.88 each and a dollar off CVS machine coupon for $12.76 total. I then sat outside further downtown observing the slow evening. It was not very busy downtown for a Friday evening. I used the bathroom at Starbucks, and I chatted with two locals. As usual, I have a different focus than the locals, so they do not usually comprehend whatever I am chatting about. I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $10.01 of self service V-Power premium gasoline for $4.079 a gallon for 2.453 gallons at odometer reading of 109803 miles for 25.8 miles driving since Friday October 10, 2014 for 10.518 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic. I said hello to the usual night person. I then returned home to Byram, Connecticut where the Sons of Oslo used to live before they moved to North Salem, New York, and I put away my groceries. All quiet on the Western Front. CIO

<888> 10/24/14 Friday 8:35 P.M. I took out the old video card from the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table. I used the Scotch tape method covering on the long slot all of the pin except the 7 pin places on the left of the long slot with the connectors on the left. A place is also a blank. It works just fine, and I installed the latest Nvidia drivers on both partitions. The Windows 8 drivers work just fine with the Windows 10 Technical Preview.

I started up the FIC server. CIO
<888> 10/24/14 Friday 2:15 P.M. I sat outside briefly. I said "Hello" to a neighbor. There is a small pile of snow by the Zamboni door at the ice skating rink, so it might be opened for the season. I checked the MacGray laundry card machine, and it still is not working. CIO
<888> 10/24/14 Friday 1:45 P.M. I did a second Complete PC backup of the FIC server to the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive. I threw out the garbage. It is pretty slow around here. CIO
<888> 10/24/14 Friday 12:25 P.M. I finished installing the Windows Updates on the FIC server. I am now doing a Complete PC backup of the FIC server to the second internal hard drive. The new Seagate 320 GB SATA hard drive is the second internal hard drive. The primary hard drive is a Seagate 160 GB IDE hard drive less than two years old. One of the reasons for installing the same SATA hard drive instead of a larger one is that if I tried to restore on of my several Complete PC backups, for the restore to work, the second hard drive has to be the same size and possibly the same one, even if the restore is coming from an external hard drive. I will now shower and clean up. CIO

I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed directly. CIO
<888> 10/24/14 Friday 1:40 A.M. After the last note, I put the new Seagate SATA drive in the Orico USB SATA drive holder, and I connected it to the USB server, but it was not recognized. I then tried the same thing with the Rosewell USB SATA Drive holder, and it was not recognized. I then opened up the FIC server, and I took out the Seagate 320 GB SATA drive, and I put it in the new Orico USB SATA drive holder, and I put my new identical Seagate 320 GB SATA drive in the Rosewell USB SATA drive holder, and I connected them both to the primary work computer. Over the next eight hours, I copied all of the files from the old Seagate drive to the new Seagate Drive. While doing that I took out the four old Antec LED case fans from the FIC server which were quite dirty and I threw them away. I cleaned the case fan enclosures and the space between the front of the metal case and its front plastic cover. There was quite a lot of dark crud build up. In fact the front fan case openings were completely blocked. I also cleaned the CPU cooler cooper vents. It has a fairly new CPU cooler fan. I used compressed air to clean out the lose crud from inside the FIC CPU case, and I even turned it upside down and shook it to remove any additional debris. I installed four generic blue LED 80 MM case fans. I also replaced the 2032 CMOS battery with a new one. I tested the setup, but on restoring the bios defaults and testing them, it took me about three hours to remember I have to set the memory to 133 MHz instead of the default 166 Mhz. I also had to set it to AGP video and a few other minor settings. While waiting for the files to copy to the new hard drive., I chatted with two relatives. I also went downstairs, and I picked up my mail, and the MacGray card machine is still not fixed. I ate a ham and American cheese sandwich on toasted 15 grain bread with Hellmann's olive oil mayonnaise and a dill pickle slice and a Lays low sodium potato chips and a 12 ounce glass of Sprite lemon soda. Once the files were copied to the new Seagate 320 GB SATA hard drive, I installed it into the FIC server, but it was not recognized. I then noticed on the old identical Seagate hard drive, there was a 1/8th inch square twin pin dip pin that I took off the old drive, and I put on the new drive on the right two pins. Then the new Seagate 320 GB SATA drive was recognized, and the FIC system works just fine as before. I closed up the case, and I used my Black and Decker dust buster to clean up the lose crud that I generated in my work. I had to solder one of the small wires on the small red LED light switch that I accidentally broke off while working on the system. Still the FIC Server is up and running just fine. The old Seagate drive that I took out had been installed and running continuously for eight years, so I would say it is pretty good hard drive to replace it with the same new one. The case fans were about six years old. Since I have new case fans in the FIC server, and since it also was cleaned of the crud, it should run cooler, and also it no longer makes any noise. CIO

<888> 10/23/14 Thursday 1:35 P.M. I saw on Fox Business news, the cheapest gasoline in the country is $2.49 a gallon for regular self service gasoline at the Busy Bee gasoline station in Houston, Texas; if one pays cash. Mean while at the local gasoline stations, it is quite a bit more expensive http://util.automobilemag.com/31/connecticut/fairfield/greenwich/gas_prices.html in this neck of the woods. Thus I prefer to continue to work out of my home office than observing people downtown on Greenwich Avenue who do not share my point of view or economic experience. CIO
<888> 10/23/14 Thursday 1:25 P.M. I called up the Greenwich Housing Authority http://greenwichhousing.org/ at 1-203-869-1138 to tell them the MacGray laundry card machine at 71 Vinci Drive is not working. They told me it is the correct procedure to call up MacGray. I could go to the Cos Cob Laundromat to do laundry, but driving that far east in town is not part of my normal routine, and I might be tempted to spend money at the Radio Shack next door, which I can ill afford. The rich daytime people do not like seeing the very poor night time people, when they infrequently come out in the daytime, and on a daytime schedule, they tend to treat me like a foreign visitor, although I have lived here since June of 1962. Most people in Greenwich do not have the vast experience of living elsewhere that I have, so they tend to be programmed on their local experiences in the local community and what they read in the local paper www.greenwichtime.com and what they see on the local television depending on what television services they can afford. In other words, they do not all share the same viewpoint by any stretch of the imagination. CIO
<888> 10/23/14 Thursday 1:00 P.M. I went ahead and renewed NASA magazine, when they called a second time. I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature. I said "Hello" to neighbors. They are still working on installing the freight elevator. The MacGray card machine still does not work. I still have plenty of clean laundry, so there is no rush. I watered the plants. CIO
<888> 10/23/14 Thursday 10:55 A.M. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk. I made my bed. I will now shower and clean up. I have been watching Fox Business News http://www.foxbusiness.com instead of Bloomberg Business News http://www.bloomberg.com/tv/ to see what their perspective is. www.nasa.gov magazine called me up to renew my free subscription, and I declined to renew, since I never had time to renew it. It is raining here How to Safely Watch the Oct. 23 Partial Solar Eclipse CIO
<888> 10/23/14 Thursday 9:45 A.M. I woke up at 9 A.M.. I called http://www.macgray.com/ at 1-800-MAC-GRAY and reported the card machine in the laundry downstairs does not work. In the old days, Ronnie who used to work at Partridge and Rockwell claimed he was the Maytag repairman in Greenwich, but I have not seen him around in quite a while. CIO
<888> 10/23/14 Thursday 1:35 A.M. Earlier this evening, I tried using the MacGray card machine a second time, but it still would not recharge my card. When I tried to buy a new card, it says the machine needs to be serviced. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat eight ounces of Dannon vanilla yogurt. I will then go to bed. I guess I will have to see if the MacGray card machine works later on today. I think if I am on a later schedule, it might be to risky for an older person like myself to go to the Cos Cob Laundromat in the early evening to do laundry. That part of town has a lot of younger people whom can be very mischievous. CIO

<888> 10/22/14 Wednesday 10:40 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I said hello to a neighbor. The front entry way is blocked, because the elevator people have taken down some of the construction barrier plywood in the front lobby for installing the new freight elevator. I said hello to the elevator people. Apparently there is some sort of basement area underneath the main part of the building, so the custodian is going to use it for storing some of his work equipment. This public housing project at 71 Vinci Drive for elderly and disabled people was built during the Reagan Republican administration. During the H.W. Bush administration, we had more disposable income. During the Clinton administration, they cut back on our disposable income, but I think they replaced the slate roof with an asphalt shingle roof. During the W. Bush administration, they put in new double pane windows. During the Obama administration, they put in insulation in the ceilings and now the freight elevator. It would be nice if they gave us more disposable income. CIO

<888> 10/21/14 Tuesday 10:05 A.M. On the Windows 10 Technical Preview on the IBM ThinkCentre on the oak dining table, over night it installed most of the 140 apps that I had selected. It still have 26 apps to install automatically. I think the Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 App server is too slow in the New York City area. It might be faster in Redmond, Washington, but here the apps download take a while. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk. I made my bed. I will now make up a fresh batch of punch. I will then shower and clean up. CIO

<888> 10/20/14 Monday 4:20 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I went to my Greenwich Town Hall department of social services appointment early. I sat outside briefly watching the workers install a new handicap sidewalk in front of the building. I then read Vanity Fair and part of New York magazine. I submitted the form to my social worker for my Holiday voucher. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.34 and a four pack of blueberry muffins for $2.99 for $4.33 total. I then returned home. I chatted with a neighbor. The new German elevator has arrived. When I opened up the grocery bag, only the sweet potatoes were there, and the blueberry muffins were missing. I will have to pick them up tomorrow. Also last week, when I got home from the Stop and Shop, a sweet potato was missing. I checked the Volvo wagon to make sure. I picked up the mail. CIO

It will take some time to finish setting it up, and a while to install the Windows Updates on the first partition. CIO
<888> 10/19/14 Sunday 4:30 P.M.

To get it to work on the IBM ThinkCentre PCI Express slot, one has to cover all of the gold pins on the card with scotch tape on the long slot except the first 7 pins on the left as one looks at the card with the plugs on the left.
I was told by two local police officers in Greenwich that the new police cars in service have the Belgium license plate scanning system, where they can scan fifty thousand license plates an hour and compare them to a data base to see if anything is out of order. It would be interesting to know, if the same system would know if one's automobile insurance had expired or not besides matters like registration and emissions and ownership of the vehicle. Of course in nearby Manhattan, they have five thousand cameras in Midtown connected to a Microsoft security system to observe the general public moving around town. CIO

I ate a ham and American cheese sandwich on toasted 15 grain bread with Hellmann's olive oil mayonnaise and a dill pickle slice and a Lays low sodium potato chips and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I ate 6 ounces of mixed nuts. I will now take a nap. CIO
<888> 10/18/14 Saturday 12:55 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I went by the www.chase.com bank at 19 West Putnam Avenue. I told one of their officers I had seen on Bloomberg News yesterday that there are 450 banks in the Midwest on the verge of insolvency. I then went downtown to Greenwich Avenue. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I stopped by the Greenwich Cigar store, and I played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. It was pretty much a normal Saturday morning. I chatted with a few local seniors. I watched the Greenwich High School home coming parade which was very festive and colorful. I then returned home to the tranquil setting of Chateau De Vinci. CIO
<888> 10/18/14 Saturday 8:15 A.M. The http://www.fpcg.org/ is still looking for a new full time minister. When I lived in Decatur, Alabama, I became a member of the First Presbyterian Church there. However, when we moved to Greenwich, Connecticut in 1962 and lived in back country off Round Hill Road, we went to our local church http://www.roundhillcommunitychurch.org/ which was Episcopal. When I went to the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut, I did not go to the school church service very often, but instead I went to the Episcopal Church 7 A.M. Communion Service on the Green. When I went to www.lfc.edu it was a Presbyterian College. When I returned back east I knew a lot of church people, but I never got a decent job, so I mostly was on a night schedule observing the world go by, and I never bother going to church, since I usually was not awake on Sunday morning. When I lived in www.nantucket.net I learned the Quakers out there were originally Presbyterian, but when they learned the Quaker religion did not have a minister they would have to pay, they became Quakers. When I was briefly in Key West, Florida in the mid 1970s, they thought I was an Episcopal priest, since I was one of the few people that spoke English. Thus religion in America is a mixed bag of things depending on where one lives and what one's income is. Since my mother's family is from Holland, Michigan where the Dutch Reform Church is also very active, I happen to have a lot of relatives involved in the Dutch Reform Church. The Scott family in Champaign, Illinois I was once told were either Methodist or Baptist, depending on which relative one talked to. CIO
<888> 10/18/14 Saturday 7:15 A.M. I got a little bit of business advise for the local business community last night. Since the Rockefeller family became a very private family over 30 years ago withdrawing from the public eye, not much is known about them except a report about 20 years ago that they were raising Swiss Dairy Cows at their farm in North Tarrytown, New York; so they can write off the property taxes on their farm as a working farm which means lower property taxes. Since they probably have good quality milk, it was suggested that they start making cheese to increase the farm's revenue. CIO
<888> 10/18/14 Saturday 7:00 A.M. I woke up at 6 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk.

<888> 10/17/14 Friday 7:45 P.M. I chatted with neighbors. One neighbor still needs me when I have to the time to check out his computer wireless connection and his living room air television connection. I just recently have not had much free daytime time, since I have been on a night schedule. I went to my 1:30 P.M. appointment. I even wore my light green summer weight suede sports jacket that I got as a clearance item from Joseph Banks for $20 with free shipping a few years ago. Of course at size 48 regular, it is a bit tight. I recently have been wearing a 50 regular. I have two blue blazers that I think are 50 regular. I also have a nice size 48 regular Orvis Harris Tweed Jacket. However, not many people wear sports jackets anymore, since the younger generation like to wear sports wear. After my appointment, I went by CVS. I had to wait a while to pick up two prescriptions. I chatted with a Canadian that had a house in Nantucket. I bought buy one get one free of CVS time release 60 capsule vitamin B-100 for $14.79 both and one of their last five packs with one mini Bic lighters for $7.29 with $1.83 off CVS coupon and $1.29 tax for $21.54 total. I then drove further downtown, and I stood out on a warm day chatting with another senior citizen who had a son driving out to Chicago. I then walked over to Zen Stationary, and I played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, and I won a free card, and on the second card, I lost. I then sat out for a while longer. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought a quart of Dannon vanilla yogurt for $3.19, Stop and Shop deli sliced white American cheese for $4.99 a pound for $4.94, Stop and Shop deli sliced honey cured ham for $5.99 a pound for $6.23, two 9 ounce Wise Lightly salted potato chips for $2.50 each, two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.25, bananas for .49 a pound for $1.45, and 30 cents can return for $21.76 total. I looked around for blue berry muffins, but they were all sold out, and at $4 a four pack, they are a bit expensive and probably fattening. I then returned home to Chateau De Vinci. I delivered a package to a neighbor. I picked up my mail. I finally got my Renter's Rebate check, but it is about $300 less this year at $411.90, which I guess will help pay for my www.geico.com automobile insurance, so Warren Buffet can get richer on a car that I can not afford to drive too far. I think in Connecticut, insurance companies like the one in California, should charge for the number of miles one drives instead of the fixed rate. I chatted with a relative. I put away my purchases.

I have read reports that a computer keyboard and mouse can be dirtier than a toilet seat. Maybe computer people should wear medical surgical sanitary gloves. On the Windows 8.1 partition, I installed the latest version of www.skype.com and the latest version of www.openoffice.org . I did not put Advanced System Care 7 on it, since I don't know if it is compatible with Windows 8.1. I am now installing the Windows Updates.

First shake the keyboard vigorously upside down to remove any dust and small debris. A lot can come out.

As I maintain the desktop computers, I replace any wireless keyboard and mice AA alkaline batteries that need to be replaced. CIO

I put the latest version of www.skype.com that happens to work on both partitions on the two Dell Latitude D410 laptop computers, the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 laptop computer, the Epox desktop, and the Dell Dimension 4600i desktop. I also put Advance System Care 7 on them and ran it on all of them to tweak their systems. I put the latest version of OpenOffice on the Dell Dimension 4600i desktop. I cleaned the Epox Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse, and I put a light blue hand towel cover on it. I also put a light blue hand towel cover on the Microsoft wireless keyboard on the IBM ThinkCentre along side the Ethan Allen recliner. Electronics because they can carry a light amount of static electricity on their surfaces can attract what I call electronic dust. Also at this hour of the day, a few apps I tried to install on the Windows 10 Technical Preview on the two Dell Latitude D410 laptop computers would not install.

<888> 10/13/14 Monday 4:05 A.M. I will now shower and clean up. In the old days, when New York City was bankrupt in the early 1970s after the stock market crash and the Arab oil embargo, I knew somebody that had a cheap ground floor apartment at 420 East 49th Street near the www.un.org , so I got to see a lot of the people in that neighborhood. I am told by a friend that since the United Nations is a diplomatic neutral zone, one is still allowed to smoke cigarettes there for better or worse. About the most famous person in that neighborhood at the time was John D. Rockefeller III who lived part time at One Beekman Place and the British Consulate to the United Nations also lived in the same building. However, I mostly ended up walking around in circles in that neighborhood, and the British Consulate building was nearby on Third Avenue. They had two Royal Blue Daimlers parked on East 49th street all of the time at a Diplomatic parking zone, and they hardly ever moved for lack of gasoline in the area. In February 1975, after I threw a big party in Manhattan, I quit visiting Manhattan, and stayed in Greenwich at my family's house, until later that summer, when I explored www.nantucket.net , which was more peaceful. I did live briefly again in Manhattan from November 1980 until February 1982 on West 74th Street with a friend whose husband was in the State Department. However, those were very cold winters after Mount St. Helen erupted, so once again it was mostly walking around in circles, but for part of the time, my roommate had a white German Shepard and a Doberman Pincher that I was also able to walk around in the neighborhood.

<888> 10/12/14 Sunday 11:55 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I went downtown. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. The train station bathroom is locked on Sunday morning, but one can get a key. I used the very nice bathroom at the Belgium bakery. They have the foundation dug, where the old Thataway patio used to be. They are building another building there with apartments upstairs. I chatted with a single individual waiting outside the www.apple.com store waiting to buy his son whose birthday is in three days an Iphone 6. When one of the Apple employees showed up, they told him they are sold out. Apparently a lot of people have been buying them and selling them on Ebay to the Chinese where they are not available until a later date. I gave the potential customer one of my internet cards. I then used the bathroom at Starbucks. I chatted briefly with a foreign speaking individual, but I did not ask the individual, where he was from. I then headed up Greenwich Avenue to CVS. I bought two 8.75 ounce CVS Deluxe mixed nuts lightly salted without peanuts for $3.99 each can for $7.98 total. I then sat out briefly at the top of Greenwich Avenue. I then returned to CVS. I bought for 75% off a Philips Dual USB charging station for $6.74 and a Rayovac Floating lantern with battery for $6.99 less $7 CVS bonus bucks and .43 tax for $7.16 total. I used the bathroom at CVS. I then returned down Greenwich Avenue. I sat out for a while. I then went by Zen Stationary, and I played an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. I sat out for a while more enjoying the day. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought a four pack of day old German chocolate muffins for $2, a 15 grain Pepperidge Farm loaf of bread for $3.99, two 15 ounce Chef Boyardee ravioli for a dollar each can, a 12 ounce bottle of Frank's original hot sauce for $2.79, a 12 ounce package of Perdue chicken cutlets for $2.39, a prepared rotisserie chicken dinner with two legs and two thighs and green beans for $1.99, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.49, bananas for .49 a pound for .50, two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.45 and 65 cents can return for $18.95 total. I then returned home, and I chatted with neighbors. I put away my groceries. CIO
<888> 10/12/14 Sunday 7:20 A.M. I ate six quarter inch thick slices of white rotisserie chicken breast meat with Frank's hot sauce, a baked sweet potato or yam with steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise with Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. I will now dress up warmly to go for a walk downtown on the world famous Greenwich Avenue, and then I will put in some supplies at the Stop and Shop. More than likely nothing will be going on, since everyone is probably surfing the internet, when they wake up. CIO

I bought it for $17.50 many years ago at the Merry Go Round Mews Thrift Shop, when it was there, before their rent got to be too expensive. CIO
<888> 10/09/14 Thursday 5:50 A.M. I risked life and limb, and I climbed up on the one square foot free space on the desk where the FIC server is, and I replaced the two light bulbs in the picture frame light with two 25 watt clear Sylvania torpedo light bulbs. The print is like one at the Frick Museum on Fifth Avenue and 70th Street http://www.frick.org/ and http://collections.frick.org/view/objects/asitem/items$0040:239 but smaller in a guilt frame. I bought it many years ago for ten dollars at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop on Sherwood Place. All Dutch people should have Rembrandt prints in their homes. When I was in Amsterdam before the Albertville Winter Olympics in February 1992, I toured https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/ , where they had brought together all of the famous Rembrandts paintings from around the world, and there were only about fifty older people there on a Sunday afternoon for the exhibit, but on the north side of town, I saw thousands of young people lined up for the American Automobile show at the indoor mall, despite the fact that the Dutch mostly ride bicycles. They do not seem to have heard about http://www.shell.nl/ . Now that they have a new King and Queen http://www.koninklijkhuis.nl/ from a younger generation, they might be a little bit more modern, but Europeans are traditional, and they do not change their ways very quickly. Later on that same day, I went to a local pub, and I chatted with someone that looked like http://www.gatesnotes.com/ , and he told me he was not really rich. I thus assumed since the Boeing Club used to be in Amsterdam and his father was the head attorney for http://www.boeing.com/boeing/ , he was just using great wealth celebrity to buy flight insurance like Howard Hughes use to do.

<888> 10/09/14 Thursday 3:05 A.M. The Cable Modem was connected with a four foot gold coaxial cable from a gold two splitter connected to the primary gold coaxial cable. I took them off, and I have cable modem connected to the direct coaxial cable, and I repositioned the cable modem underneath the Minolta PagePro 1350W laser printer. I connected up the FIC server coaxial cable and the primary computer Kworld coaxial cable to the gold splitter to the right side of the primary computer. I took off the RadioShack A B coaxial switch, and I stored it in the small top drawer of night stand of the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau. I used the spare coaxial 2 gold splitter to connect the old repaired 50 foot coaxial cable to the two splitter in the living room beneath the stereo system along with new 50 foot coaxial cable. I have the old repaired 50 foot coaxial cable connected to the Panasonic 14 inch CRT television on the white bookcase on the right side of the kitchen entrance. I stored the white 25 coaxial cable and the two four foot gold coaxial cables underneath the right side of the bed in the bedroom. Both televisions on the two foot foot cables are clear as a bell. I am restarting the FIC server and doing some maintenance on it. CIO
<888> 10/09/14 Thursday 1:20 A.M. I hooked up the Radio Shack Coaxial A B switch on the right side of the primary computer, so the A switch is to enable the Panasonic 14 inch CRT television and KWorld television on the left monitor. The B switch is to enable the Hauppauge video card on the FIC server. I also tried tweaking the sound on the KWorld Labtec speakers, since there is a bit of static. All I can figure out is that by lowering the speaker sound and turning up the KWorld volume it gets rid of most of the static. CIO

I upgraded the firmware for the OptiTalk device from its web site. I then configured the OpiTalk device to work with Google Voice. It seems to work just fine. I have it setup at the primary VOIP line along with the other VOIP line. On a test call to England to New Scotland Yard, it cost one penny for one minute. However, on my four line Panasonic telephone, the OpiTalk device is setup as the third line, but when one uses the Panasonic Phone directory dial, it selects the first line to call out on, so one has to enter the call manually. I turn the power to the OpiTalk device on and off from the lower left switch from the primary computer control panel. I do not leave the OpiTalk device turned on, except for when I am using it. I have $9.57 on the Google Voice account. I have a Google Voice telephone number, but since I don't use it, I don't give it out. CIO

Back in the spring of 1975, when I used to swim with the owners permission in the Conyers Farm lake in back country Greenwich, there were rumors from the local youth swimming there that there was a giant snapping turtle living in the lake that would drag swimmers under water to their demise. I survived that period of swimming there, and I even built a 20 foot by 20 foot floating raft out of the old dock that was damaged by ice the previous winter. The owner of the property Louis Rosenstiel used to walk the property with three Russian wolf hounds, so there were probably wild animals out there. His wife later married Walter Annenberg, and was the United States Chief of protocol under Ronald Reagan. His daughter once had me at their home, and it was a stone house with heavy dark paneling. Later that summer, I camped out on Martha's Vineyard, but mostly on Nantucket, so I was a bit tanned, but I did not go down to south Florida until the fall of 1976, after having lived in Greenville, South Carolina and returning to New York City for the bicentennial, where I saw Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip and a lot of other people along with visiting family at my family's Greenwich house, and then returning to www.nantucket.net. On Columbus Day, the rich people in Nantucket return to the mainland to discover America. There are a lot of southern families out on Nantucket in the summer, because it gets very hot down south, where they spend the winter. CIO

I was just thinking down in the Florida prisons, they probably serve alligator soup http://www.food.com/recipe/alligator-soup-373391 , so if one escapes, one sees nothing but alligators that might want to eat you. Of course the same recipe might be good with chicken and chicken stock and fresh garlic, since alligator meat is suppose to taste like chicken or some other seafood like red snapper. Down in Key West, they eat turtle soup. Sea Turtles used to be commonly eaten by the British Navy, when they sailed around the world http://www.liveduvalstreet.com/ . It will get busier down there, when it gets very cold around New York City around the first week of December. Of course up in Canada, it gets colder earlier, so many Canadians head down south sooner.

It is quite roomy, and should accommodate one of my laptop computers in case I ever have to travel with one. I was first in Switzerland in January 1972, when I was traveling by train from Florence, Italy to Grenoble, France on my Urail pass; I passed through Switzerland and had to go through Swiss customs on the train, but I did not get off the train in Switzerland, but in Chamonix, France to change for a local train to Grenoble.

I wonder if they still have pay phones there Hilton selling Waldorf Astoria New York for $1.95B . I use to tell people my office in Manhattan was a pay phone at the Waldorf Astoria. Of course I have my own home office out here in Greenwich, Connecticut USA. When I stayed in the Waldorf Towers with Hurley Harris Haywood in January 1973, I went outside and had a cigarette on the patio of St. Bartholomew's church, and I noticed somebody that looked like the Duke of Windsor entering the Waldorf Towers, but I did not know he had supposedly died the spring before in 1972. Maybe it was Billy Baldwin who looked a bit like him. Hurley was the grandson of General Hurley, so I guess because General MacArthur also lived there, a lot of military people stayed there. However, the rooms are not too large by modern standards. In the early 1970s when I used Fred Von Mierers apartment on the ground floor at 420 East 49th Street, Ambassador Bush at the United Nations was also living at the Waldorf Towers. Back then the neighborhood was sort of noisy with them building the new Citicorp Center nearby. A lot of the tenants in the area did not like moving away to make room for the new high rises. Also the British Consulate was nearby on Third Avenue next to Fred's liquor store. P.J. Clark's nearby also was reasonable back then, and a bacon cheese burger with home fries was only about $2.95 and a drink was about $2. A liverwurst sandwich at the deli on the north side of the A&P was $2. I had friends that frequented Daly's Daffodil on First Avenue at 59th street where friends worked next to Ford Modeling, and where they had John Lindsey's going away party, so I knew a bit about the neighborhood, when I could afford it. My regular drink was white wine with soda water called a spritzer. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed.

When I started it up yesterday morning, it would not go online with the new blue Lan cable I had attached to it, so I attached the white LAN cable that was by the www.harvard.edu chair to it.

The Complete PC Backup program is licensed from Symantec Norton Ghost, so they have yet to make it more flexible. I have never been able to afford to buy Norton Ghost to try it out to see if it has more features. I put the original hard drive back in the IBM ThinkCentre, so the beta machine with both partitions is back up and running.

On the IBM ThinkCentre beta machine in front of the mahogany bureau, I finished the Paragon Backup 11 restore of all partitions, and then I used the Windows 7 and Windows 10 DVDs to restore the boot managers. However, on Windows 7, product activation came up with a new hard drive installed. On the Windows 10 partition, the apps would not work. I just did a Seagate Utilities 1% zero write low level format of the new hard drive, and I will now try a Windows 10 Complete PC Backup restore of the system. CIO
<888> 10/03/14 Friday 9:05 A.M. I woke up again. I ate two ounces of mixed nuts and a 12 ounce glass of 50% Schweppes Ginger Ale and 50% Punch. What the elite members of the so called liberal democratic party on both coasts in America forget is that there are a whole lot of ordinary people in the middle of the country that are more concerned with ordinary mundane affairs as opposed to the so called liberal Fabian socialist agenda. CIO
<888> 10/03/14 Friday 7:35 A.M. I ate 8 ounces of mixed nuts, and then I went to bed after the last note. I just woke up. For some reason restoring the 10 GB Windows 10 partition is taking a long time. I have a while to go. I will now go back to bed. CIO
<888> 10/03/14 Friday 3:40 A.M. I am now restoring the second partition. I took one of the new coaxial connectors, and I connected it up to the broken 50 foot black coaxial cable which is tricky. I do not know if it will work or not, since I did not test it.

<888> 10/03/14 Friday 2:10 A.M. I took out the older Western Digital 400 GB SATA hard drive from the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau, and I installed the new Seagate 320 GB SATA hard drive. I used the Paragon 11 restore disk to first restore the boot manager partition, and now I am restoring the first primary partition, or possibly both primary partitions, if not I have to then restore the second primary partition. After doing three backups the older Western Digital 400 GB SATA hard drive was hot as a frying pan, which I do not think is very good for its life expectancy. I will know in a little while if the restore procedure works or not. I kept the new Seagate 320 GB SATA hard drive around in case I ever have to change the FIC server secondary hard drive that has the FIC server files and backups on it. I did not try the Microsoft Complete Backup restore, since I know from experience it will not work. Microsoft does not change a lot of its software in its operating system upgrades. CIO
<888> 10/03/14 Friday 1:10 A.M. I finished the backups. I have a spare new 320 GB SATA drive, I could install and try to restore one of the backups to the IBM ThinkCentre to test the backup restore process as I have it configured. I ate a 19 ounce Stouffer's meat lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. CIO
<888> 10/02/14 Thursday 11:55 P.M. In between the first and second backups, I tried creating another Paragon 10 restore disk, but Paragon no longer licenses part of it from Microsoft, so I have to stick with the Paragon restore disks that I have. I have a copy of Paragon backup 13 that I once had tried, but when I went to restore it, it did not work. I just discovered that restore disk was empty, so the restore program was never written to it.
My www.cl-p.com bill for September 2014 was $145.09 with me being gone 14 days with 802 kWh over 27 days at 29.70 kWh per day with an average temperature of 64.7 degrees Fahrenheit.
For September 2013, it was $105.91 with me being gone 14 days also for 647 kWh over 28 days at 23.11 kWh per day with an average temperature of 62.8 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once I finish the three backups, I could try putting a new spare SATA hard drive in the IBM ThinkCentre, to see if I can restore it, but that takes more time after I have already been awake with 7 hours of sleep and one meal for 13 hours. CIO
<888> 10/02/14 Thursday 9:50 P.M. I finished configuring the Windows 10 Technical Preview on the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau in the living room. I am now doing a Paragon Backup 10 backup of the both partitions to the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive. I will then do a Complete PC backup of both partitions to the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive. I will then try to do a Windows 10 Complete PC backup of both partitions to the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive. However, as mentioned earlier just because I am able to do the backups, does not mean that if I have to try to restore any of them on the IBM ThinkCentre the restore process will work, and the computer will boot up the same. Still I have the spare space on the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive to make the backups, so I am making it. I like the new interface of the desktop on Windows 10, but supposedly the tablet interface for it is different. However, I do not have a tablet to try it on. I guess a lot of people like the start button with the icons features as opposed to sliding square icons of Windows 8. However, www.stardock.com and http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/ for $5 gives on back the start button with icons in Windows 8 and 8.1. CIO
<888> 10/02/14 Thursday 6:50 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I am still tweaking the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau in the living room. A local political candidate http://oberlanderforgreenwich.com/ knocked on my door with a neighbor, and I discussed my viewpoint for a while, which is hard to explain, but it based on my experience.

The shirt fits just fine. It is a medium to light weight shirt. I am doing some minor updates on the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau. Since I have the Windows 10 Technical Preview and an earlier version of Windows on it with Dual Boot, I can not back it up, since the Complete System Restore backup function restore does not work with dual boot and neither does the Paragon backup restore. If one changes the Boot Manager which one can do with a boot manger program to the default Windows 10 boot manager, one can back it up and restore it, but that brings up product activation on the first Windows partition. When one restores that backup, one and changes the boot manger back to the other boot manager, one still has product activation on the first partition, but one then has to restore the first partition, and then enable the other boot manager, all of which is very cumbersome and time consuming.
