Note:<888>11/14/98 Saturday 11:00 P.M. EST: I have rested most of the last day and a half. The visitor from Germany has not shown up yet. It is probably just as well that he is staying in Manhattan for a day or two. I finally went over to the hospital and I have bronchittis and the beginning of peumonia . They took a Chest Xray to see the beginning of pneumonia, and they prescribed me an inhalor of "Albuterol Inhalation Aerosol". Also they prescribed a antibiotic package of "Zithromax" which I first take two pill and then a single pill for the next four days. Well hopefully I will start feeling better sooner or later. Also I have to quit smoking, and I guess I should try to keep it up after I am over the brochittis and peumonia. I am making icetea.htm , so I have plenty of fluids. I don't know if I will have the energy to do house cleaning tomorrow. I guess I should just relax and stay in bed. Well I hope you're having a better weekend than I am. CIO
Note:<888>11/13/98 Friday 8:30 P.M. EST: I have had a cold and have been resting for the last two days and seem to be getting over it. Visitor from Germany is staying in Manhattan this evening, and coming out tomorrow. I have updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>11/12/98 Thursday 11:20 P.M. EST: I went to bed at 7 A.M. this morning. I was awaken at about 1:30 P.M. by a call from Germany. A friend is coming back here to Greenwich on Continental Airlines on Friday afternoon, and taking the Connecticut limosine to the Greenwich Harbor Inn for me to meet him. He is coming here to start working, since it is hard to find a job in Germany for an American. He will be staying here for a short spell until he gets settled. I called him back briefly in Germany to tell him I would be waiting for him to arrive on Friday afternoon. I had breakfast of Rasberry Danish, GU cerial, vitamins, orange and grapefruit juice, and Cappacinno. I went back to bed until 9 P.M.. Another friend called at about 6 P.M.. I updated Scott's directory download.htm with the three hundred broken links that worked last night and when I got up just now. I am uploading it now. All the links should work pretty much in the directory. I will update Scott's Index scopor01.htm shortly. After I finish uploading, and showering, I will go out after that for some smokes. Well have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>11/11/98 Wednesday 3:50 A.M. EST: Working on sifting through about 200 broken links to see if they actually might work, I am almost done. I accidentially stumbled across this Microsoft Beta site Microsoft Windows Media Technologies , which does not work right now Downloads: Microsoft Windows Media On-Demand Producer . Try it, I think we might like it, if we can download it from here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/bin/WMODPb1.exe . CIO
Note:<888>11/11/98 Wednesday 12:40 A.M. EST: I finished email and my daily work list links scotwork.htm , I guess the Old Guard will all be in Paris today. Well Bonjour Mes Amis, O'Est Les Fetes. Il Y'a A La Arc Du Triomphe. Bon Soir. CIO
Note:<888>11/10/98 Tuesday 9:35 A.M. EST: I rested until 4 P.M.. I went out to the Arnold Bread Outlet and purchased two loaves of Healthnut bread for $1.29 each, one loaf of 12 grain bread for $1.59, and a Entemanns Rasberry Danish Streudel for $1.89. It all came to $5.75. I can not find my change purse, I might have dropped it in the car. I next went by the Greenwich library and read the local paper. I heard on the Marine Band Radio there is a Weather Watch out for the tri state area starting early this morning, all morning long. They're expecting heavy rain and winds up to 60 miles per hour. I suppose any high rise construction projects should secure their equipment particularly in Manhattan. Also Naval and Aviation facilities need to secure their equipment. I then walked the lower part of Greenwich Avenue, and chatted with some of the locals about life around Greenwich. There were quite a few people out, and I came in at 8:30 P.M., as it began to start drissling. Well have a good evening, and anyone thinking about going out in the morning tomorrow should watch the weather closely. Well some of the lucky people might be having rough weather on the vomit commet Cunard Cruise Query Results which seems to have left port in Manhattan with out one of its major promoters. I dare say with 60 knot winds heading towards the Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship on this cruise, it might have a rough crossing to Bermuda due on the 12th. Well that is all for now folks. I also updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm which is way out of balence again today. By the way I had dinner of smoked ham, green peas, potatoe, ice tea, and cappacinno. CIO
Note:<888>11/10/98 Tuesday 11:00 A.M. EST: I proofed all of my 13,500 broken links with Link Sweeper a second time, and I came up with about 200 links that I will add to the directory. I did it this morning while I was asleep and worked on them a bit from 5 A.M. to 7 A.M. before going back to sleep until 9 A.M.. I had a mozerrella omlette, toast, vitamins, orange and grapefruit juice, and cappacinno for breakfast. I linked the Casa Marina Hotel in Key West from my homepage for a few days. I updated Scott's broadcast at sound.htm . Well I will clean up shortly and go out for a little day light activity. Have a good day, and enjoy your internet activities as it gets colder this winter, in this neck of the woods. CIO
Note:<888>11/09/98 Monday 10:30 P.M. EST: I went for a walk at about 9 P.M. on the lower part of Greenwich Avenue. It is a very quiet night. They have trailers set up at the Volkswagon Automobile dealership for some sort of display. I smoked a White Owl Panatella at the Post Office plaza, while relaxing in the night air. I drove down by the water and one fisherman was present. I retrieved an old disgarded briefcase at the train station office park parking area, that somebody had disgarded. It is very used, and has the initials "PRL". I use to know somebody with the initials "PR" who manufactured sails in Essex, Connecticut; maybe the briefcase belongs to a lost "Livingston". This reminds me of the small book published by Yale University in the early 19th Century listing the first two hundred years of missionaries sent out by Yale College, which I bought for a dime at the Grenwich Hospital thrift shop. I thought it was an imformative book, and I sent it down to the George Bush White House to be put in the National Archives or kept as a gift. I remember looking at the long list of names in the book, and the most common family name in the long list of missionaries was the "Livingston" family name which most people in New York are familiar with. Well the briefcase was empty. I suppose somebody might worry about disgarding materials improperly, since it creates a security problem. I recommend people dropping off old reusables at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop or the other thrift shops in town thrift.htm . Well time to read my email. Sooner or later I will need to upgrade my hard drive to a larger one, but for now, I keep editing out programs. I joked last Christmas when I set up a Christmas bar, which has not been touched hardly, that the unused liquor would keep increasing in value which it has, while if I had bought a hard drive last Christmas, it would only be worth a fraction of its cost at present. Likewise the moneys I have spent on computers and software and internet access not to mention time during the last eight years, if it had been sensably invested would be quite substancial. Well I hope some of my internet users, appreciate my effort to disperse directory information on the internet, since I regard the internet as the "Open All the Time Library" for learning. Well have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>11/09/98 Monday 8:20 P.M. EST: I went out and made my 4 P.M. appointment. I drove down by the sound, and observed the skyline and the waterfront. That reminds me, that last Thursday one of the residents on Steamboat Road observed an Albatross flying with the seagulls that they look like, but they're larger. I went by the Greenwich Library and read the Greenwich Times, and the three weekly computer magazines. I mentioned to the local oranathologist that, "The internet still seems like a massive conspiracy to sell hard disk drive space." I stopped by Val's Discount Liquor Store in the Grand Union shopping plaza and bought a larger 10 ounce bottle of Angostora Bitters for $7.99 and a 1.5 litre bottle of George Du Boeuf white table wine for $6.99 plus .82 cents tax for $15.80 total. I then stopped by Var Max liquor pantry in Port Chester west of Cumberland Farms, just across the New York border and bought a bottle of Chateau Peyraud 1995 Premieres Cotes De Blaye red which is normally $7.99 in the clearence bin for $3.99 plus .27 tax. I returned home, and started up loading my favorites directory to the California site. I watched the ABC evening news. I had dinner of sliced ham, potatoe, and green beans, with ice tea and cappacinno. I finished uploading the directory about a half hour ago. I set the automatic log off not to autmatically log off after a certain period time in the dialer. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm , which seem to show a wide varience in math again today. Well have a good evening. I think I will go out for a walk shortly. CIO
Note:<888>11/09/98 Monday 3:00 P.M. EST: I updated download.htm , with a proofed group of my Favorites slightly larger, and also a Favorites addon for the United Stated Department of Defense: Here are the two links agains:
Scott's Internet Hotlist in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or 5.0 Favorites Format, 61,344 Working Proofed File Links in 289 Folders "scottie1.zip", 11/09/98, 17,233,729 Bytes Zipped, and 251,335,656 Bytes Unzipped Into "C:\Windows\Favorites", When Using Windows 98 in FAT 32 Partition, 25% Larger in Fat 16. One Needs To Use WinZip7.0 To Extract "scottie1.zip", and I Have 64 Megs Memory on My System, Good Luck and Enjoy.
U.S. Department of Defense Directory in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or 5.0 Favorites Format, 10,211 File Links in 2,239 Folders "usdodie1.zip", 11/09/98, 5,058,007 Bytes Zipped, and 41,824,256 Bytes Unzipped Into "C:\Windows\Favorites", When Using Windows 98 in Fat 32 Partition, 25% Larger in Fat 16. One Needs to Use WinZip7.0 To Extract "usdodie1.zip".
I was up at noon, and worked on the two groups of Favorites Links above. I deleted the Starr Report, and Queen Elizabeth Christmas 1997 Speech to free up room on the servers. I might have to wait to upload to California, since the site is busy. I had breakfast of GU Raisin Bran, toast, orange and grapefruit juice, vitamins, and cappacinno. I will clean up while uploading, I have a 4 P.M. appointment. Have a good afternoon. CIO
Note:<888>11/09/98 Monday 6:45 A.M. EST: I converted the Department of Defense Directory in Netscape Bookmarks Format for download. He is the link.
United States Department of Defense Directory "usdodns1.zip" In Netscape Bookmarks Format 318,471 Bytes , open "usdodns1.htm". Time for bed. CIO
Note:<888>11/09/98 Monday 12:10 A.M. EST: I went to bed at 3 A.M. last night and was up again at 9 A.M. this morning. I had GU raisin bran, toast, orange and grapefruit juice, vitamins, and cappacinno for breakfast. I chatted with a family member. I went back to bed until 2 P.M.. I worked on the computer, I did not get all of the NASA directory and Military directory in the new MS Favorites directory because of coding converting problems. Thus I have to update it with the rest of the links. I also might try converting the main military directory, but I only have 2.5 megs disk space on each of my servers, so I am not sure I would have room. Also I need to proof the batch of broken links again from the last time I proofed the main directory. At the moment, the directory does not seem like a hot item. Well a friend dropped by at 4 P.M.. We chatted. I cleaned up. I chatted with a family member. I made a dinner of omlettes with mozerella cheese, and tomatoe sauce, olives, onion, garlic, and herbs fillings and toast. We watched a Disney movie "Island at the Top of the World". After the movie, my guest left and I went down to the lower avenue news stand and bought three buy two get one free of Kent Ultra lites for $17.70. It has warmed up quite a bit and is nice out. I went by the Grand Union and bought two half gallons Tropicana Ruby Red Orange Juice for $1.99 each, a gallon of whole milk for $2.99, two I Can't Believe It's Not Butter for $1.29 each, a dozen jumbo eggs for $1.59, and a Hickory Hills Fully Cooked Boneless Smoked Ham at $2.79 a pound for $8.01 for $19.15 total. I noticed some of the hams at the Grand Union were out of date, so make sure if you buy a ham there, they're not expired. I returned home and did my house cleaning and watered the plants. I am doing laundry right now. Well have a good morning, and enjoy the warmer weather while we have it. CIO
Note:<888>11/08/98 Sunday 12:45 A.M. EST: I backed up the system. I also had dinner of broiled boneless center cut pork chop with dijon mustard and garlic on the second side, brocolli, potatoe, ice tea, and cappacinno. I surfed through my last three days of email. I recieved email from a friend living in Germany, so he has found access to a internet computer. I also emailed a few people about my new directory format. Nobody has downloaded it from the Florida site yet, perhaps they could use it as the Scott Amudsen Polar Research Center in Antartica. I suppose it is going to get colder here, before it warms up. I will have to get another hard drive sooner or later, as essential Microsoft Programs take up more and more room. Well for now, I can keep editing the existing drives. I should probably try using the directory more myself. The Favorites format works great on my machine with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 beta 2, particularly the left screen Favorties option. I will add my daily work links as I find them, if I should not already have them. I really have not had much time to proof the directory, so I will probably update it in time as I use it more. I also made up a batch of icetea.htm for next week. Well have a good Sunday. CIO
