Note:<888>10/14/00 Saturday 5:05 P.M. EDT: I was up at 2 P.M.. It is a beautiful day. I moved my Favorites with the double entry of URLs created by the Microsoft Frontpage demo to another folder. I then restored my backup without the double entries. I then added most of the new links since the late August backup by copying the newer folders to the restored backup folders. I then deleted the double URL favorites contents keeping the System folder favorites. I then transfered the restored favorites URLs to the system folder favorites and deleted the empty restored favorites folder. I then moved the System Favorites folder back into my server directory, and it is all back to normal. It took a while to remove all the redundant favorite files from the recycle bin. I had breakfast of three soft boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and cafe latte. I will now clean up and go out and enjoy the rest of the day. CIO

Note:<888>10/14/00 Saturday 5:40 A.M. EDT: Well I finished watching the movie about the weather down in Texas. I am a bit tired, so I might rest for a while. CIO

Note:<888>10/14/00 Saturday 3:40 A.M. EDT: I updated the Apache Server 1.3.14 version. I also got the folders icons showing by tweaking the httpd.conf file. I also found a JAVA update link and two Windows ME update links at "http://cws.internet.com/newapps.html" . I will now have three hotdogs on buns with conditments and ice tea. I will watch the video "Tornado". Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>10/14/00 Saturday 1:30 A.M. EDT: I called the Patagonia shop in Dillon, Montana yesterday afternoon. They are the only shop that ships from an outlet. They told me, they probably would not have Gore Tex jackets until February, which they sell for 30% off. At that rate, I suppose Richards or Outdoor Traders in Greenwich might sell them as cheaply during the sidewalk sales in July. I went to bed after the calls and was awaken around 4 P.M., by two crank telephone calls. I finally called the Verizon business office, since I have been getting around ten to fifteen hang-up crank calls a week. This has gotten worse recently, and it has gone on for years. They said I could dial *57 at $1.50 a call to trace the calls, since *69 shows the call origins are blocked.  I also reported the matter to the local police department.  Since I frequently sleep during the daytime, it is annoyance to be woke up. I only receive about two to three incoming personal calls a week, so over 80% of my incoming call record would be crank calls with about 10% FAX calls.  Well after I was up about 9:30 P.M., I had breakfast of cheerios, toast, orange juice, cafe latte, and vitamins. I am trying to use the FrontPage Demo to proof check the spelling in my notes as I post them.  Well the search engine in FrontPage won't work, since I have so many links with my 76,000 Favorites that the system freezes, but the editor might be handy for a while. Well have a good morning.  I will do a little regular computer work. CIO

Note:<888>10/13/00 Friday 12:45 P.M. EDT: I checked with the Patagonia store in Freeport, Maine; and they don't have any Gore-Tex at the moment. They said the Dillon, Montana outlet will ship, and there are also outlet stores in Santa Cruz, California, Salt Lake City, Utah; and Reno, Nevada. The Patagonia web site is busy right now, so I will have to look for the numbers later. CIO

Note:<888>10/13/00 Friday 11:35 A.M. EDT: I rested, and I got up at 8 A.M., and I showered. I went out and I drove down by the waterfront. I then went downtown, and I sat out for a while. I then parked at the Greenwich Library and walked over to the Presbyterian Church, and I waited in line for the opening of the tag sale with about a 100 other people. They have lots of clothes. I found four outerwear garments that fit me. I bought a camels hair 100% cashmere overcoat sold by Wallachs for $25, a StrotoJacket in green and tan like a light winter jacket for $10, a Columbia pull over ski shell for $5, and a yellow Eddie Bauer golf wind breaker for $3 for $43 total. I now have some additional outwear for my outdoor strolling activity when I feel up to it. I then returned to the library, and I read the local paper. I also checked out a paperback addition of the "Perfect Storm". I returned home, and I put the coats and jackets in the right living room closet. I am now having a glass of ice tea. It is a beautiful sunshiny day, but I am tired; so I will go to bed. Have a good day. CIO

End of Scott's Notes Friday 10/13/00

Note:<888>10/13/00 Friday 5:25 A.M. EDT: Well I finished my usual internet work. I had some ice cream and drank ice tea through out the evening. I might rest for a while now. Have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>10/13/00 Friday 1:55 A.M. EDT: I finished the laundry. I found the telephone number in Freeport, Maine for the Patagonia www.patagonia.com  outlet store. It is

THE PATAGONIA® OUTLET, #9 Bow Street, (207)865-0506, Freeport, Maine.

I found these three Gore-TEX jackets, all about $300 to $460, so maybe they would be less than half at the Outlet stores. Just search "Gore-TEX" at the Patagonia site to see the three models Primo, Ice Nine Jacket, or the Ether Jacket. CIO

Note:<888>10/13/00 Friday 12:35 A.M. EDT: I had some ice cream and pretzels yesterday morning before going to bed. I went to bed about 3 A.M., and I got up about and hour later. My left hear was bothering me, so I used Debrox and the ear syringe on it again, and I also used the water pik to try and clear it out. No wax came out, and it was a little better, but there still feels like there is water stuck in my left ear. I was up this past afternoon at about 1:30 P.M., and I had three eggs, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins for breakfast. I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I read the first section of the Wall Street Journal while waiting. It said General Electric's profits were up 20%. I then stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. Their computers were down. I noticed a vintage Bentley station wagon with wood paneling parked on the Post Road. I believe they use to be called estate wagons. I then went by the Hospital Thrift Shop. Everything is half price. I then went downtown. It was a beautiful sunny warm day and lots of people were out. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and then I walked up to the top of the Avenue. I chatted with a few people downtown. I sat out for a while. I noticed again the big sign advertising the Presbyterian church tag sale on Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th. I will have to try to stop by it this year. Last year, I found four pairs of pants for $5 a pair that were slightly too small for me, but if I ever lose a lot of weight they will fit. I suppose Presbyterians tend to be smaller, so since I am a slightly overweight Presbyterian, I might have a hard time finding clothes my size, but still it is worth a look. I walked down the Avenue. I stopped by CVs and bought the CVS generic equivalent of Debrox for $4.49. I noticed a new store going in the where the nail job use to be at the top of the Avenue. A local children's photographer is working on it, perhaps it will be a photography studio. I then went by the local library and I read the local paper. I forgot to read the rest of the Wall Street Journal. I had overdressed a bit for cooler weather, and I had a bit of heat exhaustion. I then went to the Grand Union. I bought two half gallons of Tropicana orange juice for $2 a half gallon on sale, a dozen GU eggs for $1.49, and at $2.99 a pound center cut pork chops for $3.65 for $9.14 total. I then returned home, and I had pretzels and a Citra chilled soda in a frosted mug. I received a telephone call, and I chatted with a friend about the stock market and the economy. Apparently Wall Street was down quite a bit yesterday. I have posted a link to Scott's million dollar portfolio "http://mrscott.com/scopor01.htm" which has a download link for the Microsoft Investor portfolio information. The portfolio really has not done anything in the last three years, and it has been up less than one percent a year. Thus since the portfolio has a lot of blue chip stocks, the overall market despite the technology sector really has not gone anywhere in the last three years. Perhaps people realizing this, is why they're selling the overvalued technology sectors. Well I then got a tired spell, and I slept until about 10:30 P.M.. I had a hamburger and hotdog for dinner on buns with the usual condiments along with ice tea and coffee. I am doing my laundry, and I am on the dry cycle. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>10/12/00 Thursday 1:40 A.M. EDT: I also noticed while I was out that the Presbyterian Church at the top of Greenwich Avenue is going to have a clothing tag sale on Friday October 13 and Saturday October 14. They usually have excellent value at this tag sale. CIO

Note:<888>10/12/00 Thursday 1:20 A.M. EDT: I went out about 9 P.M.. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and then the lower section twice more. It was a pleasant night not hard on the arthritis. It was very slow out since I guess lots of people were watching the Presidential Contenders debate. I chatted with a couple of people. I noticed a few people in pubs watching baseball. While sitting out at the Post Office plaza, I might have seen the Space Shuttle come by about 10:15 P.M. in the southeast sky. It seemed to be a full moon night, a good night for viewing the skies. I returned home about 11 P.M., and I had some pretzels and ice tea. I watched the rerun of the debate on Cspan, and it did not seem very long. I suppose I have not been following politics very closely. Well have a good morning. I might do a little internet work, and then go to bed. CIO

Note:<888>10/11/00 Wednesday 8:10 P.M. EDT: I went out and stopped by the Hospital Thrift Shop today. I chatted with a few regular patrons. I then went down by the waterfront. I chatted with a few regular waterfront regulars. I then went downtown. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue a bit on a nice day. I then went to the library. I read the Wall Street Journal, and three computer newsweeklies. I checked out two videotapes. I then returned home. I watched the ABC evening news. I was listening to the BBC news when I dosed off. About 7:15 P.M., I heard the word Space Shuttle, so I quickly turned to CNN and watched the Space Shuttle launching. They mentioned that one should be able to see it in the sky in the East Coast of America, so I went outside, and about 10 to 15 minutes after launching I watched something moving underneath a near full moon which might have been the Shuttle. There were at least a dozen jets in the sky at the same time, so it is hard to tell. I will now have a couple of hamburgers on rolls with ketchup, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and chopped onion for dinner with ice tea and coffee. I chatted with a local French entrepreneur down by the waterfront today, and he told me he opened a restaurant up in Fairfield, Connecticut call St. Tropez. Well I will have to check it out some time. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>10/11/00 Wednesday 2:40 P.M. EDT: I am sad to read of the passing of Donald Dewar today "http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,17858,00.html" . CIO

Note:<888>10/11/00 Wednesday 2:25 P.M. EDT: I relaxed most last evening. I had some goldfish crackers and ice cream. I finally fell asleep about 2 A.M., and I was up at 1 P.M.. I guess I was tired. I had breakfast of cheerios, toast, orange juice, cafe latte, and vitamins. I guess I will clean up and go out and enjoy the sunny day. Have a good afternoon. CIO

Note:<888>10/10/00 Tuesday 10:00 P.M. EDT: I was up about 4 P.M.. I had breakfast of three soft boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and cafe latte. I figured out that FrontPage Express does not hyperlink when Zone Alarm is activated. I installed the 45 day FrontPage 2000 Demo, and I ran the installation program, but with my 76,000 or more links the program froze up. I might be able to figure out how to use its search engine. I watched two HBO movies while running the FrontPage Express installation of my web server. I will leave it on the computer. I had rest of the defrosted spaghetti sauce with spaghetti and parmesan cheese and ice tea. I guess I will do a little regular internet work now. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>10/10/00 Tuesday 12:20 A.M. EDT: Well I went back out for a while. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I then sat out for a while. I then drove down by the waterfront. I returned home. I had some ice cream, pretzels, and ice tea. I watched a little bit of television. I updated Scott's weekly broadcast "http://mrscott.com/sound.htm" . Well I might do a little computer work and then go to bed. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>10/09/00 Monday 9:05 P.M. EDT: I went out after the last message. I walked lower Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a local. I checked out the three local lower Avenue news stands. I found a pack of Bugler roll your own cigarettes for $1.47 at Zyns to keep handy. I then walked up the Avenue. I stopped by Lecters and toured the store. I went by CVS and bought two buy one get one free of Dutch Pretzels for $1.39 both. I checked out Outdoor Traders and they have the news Gortex jackets in Marmot, Patagonia, and North Face models for a little over $300. I imagine the Patagonia outlet in Freeport, Maine might have better prices. I then walked down the Avenue. I noticed the fish store www.lobsterscanfly.com . I then stopped by the Grand Union and bought a pack of hamburger rolls for .79. I chatted with a local resident who looks like he is related to people I know in Long Island. I returned home. I had a few pretzels with ice tea. I then put the London broil through the Cuisine Art and made five hamburger patties. I cooked two and had them on buns with mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and onions along with ice tea and coffee. I then watched a little television. I guess I might go out for some fresh air now. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>10/09/00 Monday 4:00 P.M. EDT: I was up at 2 P.M.. I had breakfast of Cheerios, toast, cafe latte, orange juice, and vitamins. I then used Debrox and hot water with a ear syringe to clean my ears, since they had a bit of wax build up. I will now clean up and go out for some fresh air. Have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>10/08/00 Sunday 11:45 P.M. EDT: I finished watching the movie. I had ice cream and goldfish crackers while watching it. I just had two hotdogs on buns. I will now do some regular internet work. CIO

Note:<888>10/08/00 Sunday 9:20 P.M. EDT: I was up at noon. I made a Freefind search page "http://mrscott.com/freefind.htm" . I had coffee, three soft boiled eggs, toast, orange juice, and vitamins. I did the house cleaning and watering the plants. About 6 P.M. I boiled some spaghetti noodles and reheated some spaghetti sauce and had them with ice tea. I watched a bit of television news. I rested a bit. I then channel surfed. I will now watch the video "Winter's End". Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>10/08/00 Sunday 1:15 A.M. EDT: I did some research on search engines, and I am indexing my server to use the offsite search engine at www.freefind.com . I will now go to bed and let the spider do it's work. CIO
