Note:<888>01/14/00 Friday 4:15 P.M. EST: I rested until about 1 P.M.. I restarted the server. I just had some Ziti noodles and speghetti sauce with ice tea, and I am making coffee. I decided to listen to a little music this afternoon to drowned out the airport noise. I noticed this story of family interest Wal-Mart CEO Glass Quits, Scott Succeeds . I suppose since we are both the same age, and I frequently wear Lee Jeans, they might think this relative is me. Of course if one does not know what Wal-Mart does, you can always stop by the Sams Club in Elmsford, New York; if you think you can afford it. Well time for coffee. CIO

Note:<888>01/14/00 Friday 6:30 A.M. EST: Well I surfed scotwork.htm . I had some Microwave popcorn and a few strips of moserella cheese along with ice tea and channel surfed a bit. It is 7 degrees F. outside with below zero windchill, and 87 degrees below zero F. on Mount Washington if you feel like being cooler, so I guess I will rest for a little while. Have a warm morning and stay warm. I suppose one could stop by Liberty travel across from the Greenwich Library and fly down to Tabago if you don't like the cold or even Brazil. I think I will turn the heat up. CIO

Note:<888>01/14/00 Friday 4:20 A.M. EST: I have looked at various linux downloads listed at www.cnet.com , and I thought about installing them and examined them; but I basically decided the Windows 98 second edition upgrade I have is the best, and there is no need to fool around the Linux download, one of which needs a CDrom burner. Well not much else happening. CIO

Note:<888>01/14/00 Friday 1:30 A.M. EST: I rested until 10 P.M.. I had breakfast of three soft boiled eggs, toast, clementine fruit mix, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I disabled the Proxy server in my Microsoft Internet Explorer "Options, Connections, LAN, Setttings" and the web browser speed maxes out at over 2 megs a second, so disable the Proxy settings for faster speed. I am doing a little internet work. I don't go outside and cold snowy nights in the winter, so one gets a bit of cabin feaver. The local area tends to be louder with aircraft noise. I suppose I could start put out corporate communications that anyone using Westerchester Airport will be fired to see if the private sector does not have any influence. Well from what I can tell not much going on, so have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>01/13/00 Thursday 7:00 P.M. EST: I went to bed until 2 P.M.. I cleaned up and I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I stopped down by the waterfront. I stopped by the Greenwich Library and read the local paper and three computer newsweeklies. I chatted briefly with one internet user. I returned home. I chatted with a family member. I made up a batch of ice tea. I reheated some speghetti sauce and Ziti noodles which I just finished with ice tea. The Greenwich Times says they're changing the flight patterns over Greenwich, so as I guess not to disturb people which mean "NO PLANES OR JETS SHOULD FLY OVER GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT; OR MILITARY AIRCRAFT WILL SHOOT THEM DOWN !" Not much else happening. CIO

Note:<888>01/13/00 Thursday 9:20 A.M. EST: On my www.pcware.com hard disk controllers for the S-571 motherboards, Microsoft Update updated the drivers. Not much else happening in this neck of the woods. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>01/13/00 Thursday 6:45 A.M. EST: I rested until 4 A.M., and then I had some reheated spegehetti sauce and Ziti noodles. I relaxed a bit, and I don't care whether it is snowing or not, since it should not be too bad along the Sound. I was dreaming that I was the World's richest person and I was looking to buy the best home computer before going to jail, and I found this site Polywell Computers , unfortunately in their quote form, it is hard to tell what the best of each item is. Well I suppose the intenet is just one large Ponzi scam run by Bill Gates with personnel that IBM fired ten years ago when Gates started getting ambious. Well since I am making about $20 a month off the internet with close to 50,000 hours work and it is costing me more than $200 a month to run my internet operation, I am not sure if the internet is such a good operation. I would be better off playing the horses or buying lottery tickets compared to the money I am earning off the internet. Maybe we should have Powerball Lottery feaver again in Greenwich, Connecticut; or call in the sheriff to arrest everyone in Armonk, New York perpetuating this internet feaver. Well who knows what the real story is, but I have only lost money on computers and the internet. Well have a good day and don't take any wooden nickles, and be sure to watch out for any minor snow accumulation. CIAO, Michael .

Note:<888>01/13/00 Thursday 12:45 A.M. EST: I have a case of the blahs since I am low on funds and can not afford to buy the Scottish flag. The elevator in the building is not working also, and it looks like somebody is moving in or out or doing maintenance downstairs. I cleaned the large number phone and I sprayed Lysol on the reciever. I watched a little bit of the history channel. I watched Hillary on David Letterman. They gave her a riding law mower, which might come in handy if it has a snow plow. They're suppose to get three to five inches north of the Merritt parkway. I guess the first family has a Taurus too. Well from what I can tell not much happening in this neck of the woods. The republicans all have so much money, they've all taken off to their various other worldwide homes, and the current cold weather maintenance position I maintain in my apartment is under financed. However the lights are still on which is a good sign everything is all right. I suppose if NOAA weather radio goes off, it means we will have lots more snow. As usual nobody is awake on a night schedule except the skeleton crew. I am not sure weather I will cruise around or not. I still have to make my bed and take a shower. Well I guess no news is good news. A good place to eat inexpensively in the Westechester country area is the Blazer restaurant up by the North Salem exit off 684 if you like hamburgers, home fries and other gourmet treats. I recall the North Salem deli sells a Swedish beer called "Nordic Wolf". Well I suppose we could activate the "Freezing Norwegian" snow patrol to make sure there are no stranded travelers if we should get a light dusting of snow. My Volvo tends to be good to up to six inches of snow and possibly 12 inches, since I keep over two hundred pounds of junk in the trunk. However, even if your vehicle is snow ready, you have to watch out for the other guy. White Plains Sears would have snow tires and the new security DieHard antitheft battery at a premium, but it will probably be a little busy this morning. Other exciting things to do in the area, one could go explore the state park over in North Terrytown, New York that the Rockefellers gave to the state of New York for a breath of fresh air. I suppose in an emergency the Danbury, Connecticut area might have similar supplies to the White Plains, New York area. CIO

Note:<888>01/12/00 Wednesday 10:25 P.M. EST: I was up at 7:30 P.M. this evening. I rebooted my computer and lost the last day's Apache log. The screen saver was frozen for some odd reason. I had breakfast of eight Aunt Jamima pancakes with Aunt Jamima syrup, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. I chatted with a family member and recommended this procedure xcopyhd.htm for adding a new hard drive and transfering its contents. It has worked for me a number of times. I also noted that on the CompUSA Maxtor drive I added, I diabled the DIP pin 46, so I could have the 20 gigabyte partition. Well I will check www.compusastores.com for what's happening there this week, and then clean up and go out. Well have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>01/12/00 Wednesday 7:50 A.M. EST: Well I finished my laundry. I also made a Clementine and orange juice and white wine mixture with the rest of my Christmas clementines. I relaxed for most of the rest of the morning and sifted through scotwork.htm . I guess I will go out for a little daylight and fresh air shortly. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>01/12/00 Wednesday 3:00 A.M. EST: After dinner with ice tea, I channel surfed a little bit, but there was not much on. I started my laundry which should be done in a half hour. I had a cup of coffee. The wind is strong out of the north probably about 50 knots. The barometer in the apartment is 30.82 with 70 percent humidity in the apartment, and the outside temperature with the 50 knot wind is 42 degrees farenheit, but with the wind chill factor it must feel much cooler. The sky is mostly clear, and the North Star is pointing approximately due north. Well not much else to report. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>01/12/00 Wednesday 12:15 A.M. EST: I went out about 9 P.M.. I drove down by the waterfront. I parked in the center of town. I told a local about the snow expected tomorrow night. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I then drove over to CVS in Riverside, Connecticut. I bought a carton of Phillie cigar cigarettes naturals for $13.94 with a .25 off coupon plus .84 Ct. tax for $14.78 total. I then stopped by the Exxon station and bought $5 of premium. I then drove back down by the waterfront and viewed the harbor. I then drove over to the Grand Union and I bought a pound of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" $1.29, 3 cans of GU canned tomatoes for .99 each, a dozen large GU eggs $1.49, a green pepper at .99 a pound for .58, at $2.49 a pound 90% ground beef for $3.36, a half gallon of GU whole milk for $1.59, a 2 pound bag of onions $1.99 for $13.27 total. I then went home, and I made up my usual speghetti sauce which should be done in 20 minutes. I will start ZITA 2 noodles in about five minutes and have dinner in about 20 minutes. Well have a good evening. I am watching a bit of television. CIO

Note:<888>01/11/00 Tuesday 7:50 P.M. EST: I fiddle with my speaker connections, and the system seems to be all set up and running fine. I chatted with a family member on their Road Runner connections. I have this hidden music directory of old music like Elvis and Beatles music http://mrscott.com/000000009 which has some interesting music for old timers, and if you need music from a professional Disk Jockey for old timers try http://www.cool107.com which has all the great oldies. Well I have to clean up, and go out for some fresh air. Have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>01/11/00 Tuesday 5:50 P.M. EST: I got a good days sleep today. I recieved a phone call from a friend who was watering a Bonzi plant. When I got up a little while ago the NOAA weather warning system went off for thunderstorms in New Jersey. They also advised we would have snow on Wednesday evening and Thursday. I had breakfast of three soft boiled eggs, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I like my new setup for the computer, and it all seems to work fine. I had two spare 12 foot RCA jacks cords from my microphone ear piece that I am using for the computer speaker to the sterio input and for the sterio to the computer input. Well not much else to report, have a good evening. CIO

Note:<888>01/11/00 Tuesday 3:40 A.M. EST: Well I did a little work this morning, and I went back to sleep. I got up about 3 P.M., and I made my 4 P.M. appointment. I stopped by the waterfront, and there are heavy storm clouds moving southwest to northeast at over 100 miles an hour, that gave us the wet weather today. I stopped by the Greenwich Library, and it was full of new users as usual since they improved the facility. I drove down town, and I can buy a Scottish flag at the Greenwich Hardware store for $2.98 when I have the cash on me. I then walked down town, and I chatted with a local. I observed a Chinese assasin photographer take my photograph with one of those $50,000 infrared digital cameras, while he was pretending to take photographs of Starbucks. I suppose he slipped the disk to someone else, and the zapped it back to China. Got only knows why they would ever want to take a picture of me. Maybe they like my new shorter hair cut. I told him I did not like my picture being take without being asked for what purpose. I then headed back home at about 6 P.M.. I decided to rearrange my apartment some more. I disconnected all the electronic cords behind the computer. I then moved a lot of items on major furniture pieces. After moving the furniture along the window wall, I moved the blue sofa in allignment with the Pine Apple day bed. I then put the desk wedged in between the sofa and the wall. I put the computer coffee table along the entry kitchen wall. I put the sterio speakers, HP lazer printer and Sony tape backup and cable modem on top of the sterio speaker. I also moved around some cables. I then started put back the cables and the computer assembly together. I have on pair of computer speakers on the desk speaker. I put the other pair of computer speakers behind the Queen Anne chair which I have again the speaker against the wall at the entry to the kitchen. I put the mahogany telelphone table on the right sitting side of the Queen Anne chair with the large number telephone on it and the magazine rack in front of that. I put my computer CD collection on top of the HP laser printer along with other desk supplies. I put the mouse pad and mouse on a stack of World War I history encyclopedia. I moved the French stuffed computer chair at an angle slightly in front of the Queen Anne chair. I put the Danish coffee table between the blue sofa and the computer. I put the file cabinet in front of the bar. I put the Danish end table on the right end of the blue sofa up against the Pine Apple day bed. In moving the computer components around, I dropped the steel computer drawer on my right foot slightly cutting my big toe. I put a bandage on it. I moved the computer printer stands used for storing files on the lower level of the Danish end table. I moved a bit of the other bric a brac around. I need to get two 12 foot RCA cables male to female for connecting the sterio input to the computer and the computer speaker to sterio cables which were not long enough. I put the GE portable phone on top of the computer. I have the computer CPU to the right of the monitor stand on the wood box with the power control panels. Basically this all took quite a bit of time. I then ate the rest of the Icelandic smoked salmon with mayonaise on a 12 grain bread with ice tea and a couple of quartered dill pickles. It all looks better, and seems to be more functional. Well I am tired, so I will go to bed shortly. Have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>01/10/00 Monday 9:15 A.M. EST: I finally figured out why I have had a case of the blahs the last fews day. It is possibly with the warmer temperatures outside, I had not lowered my thermostat, so it was about 80 degrees Farenheit in the apartment. I hopefully fixed this situation by lowering the thermostat for now. I also had the broiled steak, rest of the mashed potatoes, steamed frozen peas, and ice tea. I guess I will relax a bit this morning. I have a 4 P.M. appointment today. However with the damp weather, I am not sure that is advisable to go out with my arthrtis. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>01/10/00 Monday 7:55 A.M. EST: Not much to report on. I pretty much rested all day yesterday. I think I remember waking up around 8 P.M., and thinking about moving my furniture. I then as I recall went out about 1 A.M. this morning. I drove down by the harbor and it was quiet. I stopped by the Greenwich Harbor Associates building and chatted with night security. I then walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I sat out for a while on a very nice night. I noticed that the hanging flower pots are still out with flowers. I then drove over to the Shell station and bought a pack of Basic Ultra Light 100s for $2.35. I then drove over to CVS in Riverside, and I checked out if there was a sales brochure there, but it was not. I then went over to the Howard Johnsons on the Post Road and they charge about a $100 a night if you get a 10% discount with a credit card or for government employee. I then drove back down by the waterfront. I then returned home, and I viewed some important historical information on the internet that came back up in reviewing recent history. I then though through a few recent events. Not much to report on, so I guess I will have anther steak for dinner along with the rest of the mashed potatoes and steamed frozen peas and ice tea. I still feel a little spacey with this recent atmospheric high pressure system. We have a local temperature of 46 degrees farenheit with damp weather. Barometer in the apartment is 30.85 with 68 percent humidity in the apartment. Well have a good morning. CIO

Note:<888>01/09/00 Sunday 5:25 A.M. EST: I got a good night's rest. I was up at 2 A.M., and I had breakfast of Chex cerial, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I rest again until about 4:30 A.M.. I then channel surfed a bit, and not much was on. From what I can tell it will be pretty much another normal day. I chatted with my insurance agent about current weather conditions. I guess while the barameter is high, a certain group of people will be more upbeat; however once the weather changes which it inevitably does; they will have to deal with the usual weather conditions in this area for this time of the year. I suppose I should make some of my uusal weather observations and compare them to what one can interpret from the satellite photographs. I think I should remain any Greenwich, Connecticut reader's that my insurance agent GEICO Insurance owns the former General Reinsurance Building rented by Greenwich Capitol Associates on Steamboat Road, and quite a few of my family and friends use GEICO Insurance because of their nationwide network of agents and friendly relations with the United States government and their employees. The name GEICO stands for "Government Employees Insurance Company". Well have a good day. CIO

Note:<888>01/08/00 Saturday 5:45 P.M. EST: Well I finished my house cleaning this morning and watering the plants this morning. I noticed when I went out in the morning to the check the weather it looked to be a nice day for this time of the year. I noticed the barometer is still at 31.25 desibars on the older Jensen thermometer. I guess with the high pressure system with my low blood pressure, I feel more tired than normal. I have just been relaxing around the apartment in a dream mystic state thinking of the ancient history of the planet. I did have a bowl of mashed potatoes and ice tea. I feel fine, I am just relaxing for a change. Well I might try to dose off for a while, so have a good evening. I believe in the Orthodox calender certain events happen at other times of the year cloes to the calender they have in the western hemisphere. Well figure out what day it is in the orthodox calender. Cheers. CIO

Note:<888>01/08/00 Saturday 2:55 A.M. EST: Well not much happening. I have been relaxing most the evening and part of this morning. I took time off from relaxing to have two sandwiches I made with three slices of Icelandic smoked salmon with two slices each of Philadelphia cream cheese on Arnold 12 grain bread with mayonaise. I also reheated some mash potatoes and I quarter sectioned a dill pickle, a sweet pickle, and had about five gurgins with the meal along with ice tea. I suppose since not much is going on, I might start contemplating whether I should try to get up enough energy to house cleaning or put it off until the next day. Really not much happening and the internet and the television is so boring, I suppose I should think about doing some reading for a little diversion. Well have a good morning. CIO
