Subject: Hack into Scott's Internet Hotlist Sites by
www.univ-tour.fr
Dear Sirs:
Per my conversation at 5:40 P.M. EST this afternoon 3/31/99, I am
reporting a synopsis of events that lead into
the hacking of all three of my internet sites.
I have been publishing three internet sites with downloadable
directory information since October 1994.
The first site of my own: http://www.mikescott.net has been up
and running for two years at a Florida site
of http://www.valueweb.net
The second site of mine http://www.mikescott.org has been running
in California at http://www.123bizweb.com
since September 1998.
My primary site http://mrscott.com has been running off my home
computer using the @home cable modem provided
by http://www.optimumonline.com since December 24, 1998.
I have approximately 25,000 monthly users dowloading about
100,000 files monthly on all three sites put together.
I provide downloadable directories mostly on technical
information, and also included the U.S. Department of Defense
downloadable directories.
Recently since I posted some music *.mp3 files the
http://mrscott.com Greenwich, Connecticut server has been running
about 85% music files.
On this past Sunday 3/28/99 my home server in Greenwich,
Connecticut went down. I restarted the system and did not
think anything about it.
Last night on Wednesday night and Thursday morning 3/31/99, I was
looking at the news story about the White House
hack http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/18787.html
that posted links to http://www.occaviationandspace.edu/ and I
posted a mirror of the link at
http://mrscott.com/Russian%20hackers%20demand%20to%20stop%20terrorist%20aggression%20against%20Jugoslavia!.htm
. In the Meta Search tag of that file, there is the term,
"S-300 Rocket System" which I thought was peculiar, and
I called the White House Secret Service Intelligence Division
number at:
202-435-5000 and report the unusual meta tag that nobody seems to
have noticed.
I went to bed at 9 A.M. this morning Wednesday 3/31/99 after
reporting it. I woke up at 3:30 P.M. this afternoon, and
I discovered my Greenwich, Connecticut server running the Apache
server for Windows 98 was down. I rebooted the
system, and before starting the system again, I checked the
"error.log" of the Apache server, and the last entry
was from
an I.P. address of "193.52.222.240" looking for
"robots.txt" which I don't use on my server, and what
ever that person
did next brought down my server. I did a reverse DNS look up of
the I.P. address, and it is "ta240.univ-tours.fr" which
is
at http://www.univ-tours.fr . I assume that person brought down
my server, since not many people ever look for
"robots.txt".
I checked with IBM security, and I finally called you. After
calling you I found out that my other two servers,
http://www.mikescott.org and http://www.mikescott.net had also
been hacked and the homepage file "index.html" had been
removed from both servers causing them not to work. I restored
both files from my backups.
It would appear that Scott's Internet Hotlist's three sites were
the subject of a three prong attack today, by hackers
from the University of Tours or somebody spoofing their address.
Maybe they don't like Volcano information, who
knows.
Well that is a short summary of what happened, let's wait and see
what happens next.
Yours Truly,
Michael Louis Scott

Note:<888>3/31/99 Wednesday 4:10 P.M. EST: I called the White House Secret Service information desk about the White House Hack at 202-435-5000 at 9 A.M. this morning and gave them the information mentioned below. I went to bed and woke up at 3:30 P.M.. When I woke up my computer was down, and the monitor and server would not work. I rebooted and it all works fine. I looked at the error.log on the Apache server, and the last entry is somebody from 193.52.222.240 searching for robots.txt on my server. The DNS lookup of that IP address is ta240.univ-tours.fr which has a web site at www.univ-tours.fr . It is all very mysterious why anyone in France would want to bring down my server. The server was also brought down last Sunday. I refered the matter back to the White House Secret Service Information Desk. Well the server is back up and running again. Time for breakfast of Post Raisin bran, toast, orange juice, vitamins, and coffee. Have a good afternoon, it looks like a nice day outside. CIO
Note:<888>3/31/99 Wednesday 8:20 A.M. EST: The page where the White House hack appears Russian hackers demand to stop terrorist aggression against Jugoslavia! . If you look at the source code of the page, the Meta tag says "S-300 Rocket System". I wonder if there is any code in the *.jpg image it displays. I also posted a local link to the hack on my server at Russian hackers demand to stop terrorist aggression against Jugoslavia! on my local server. Well I am not the NSC, but perhaps, there is more to it than meets the eye. Links were from this story Political News from Wired News . CIO
Note:<888>3/31/99 Wednesday 8:00 A.M. EST: Well I went out at 5:30 A.M. and hung out on the bottom of Steamboat Road. I sanded my distributor rotor and the contacts inside the distributor cap and sprayed WD-40 on various ignition parts while parked on the bottom of Steamboat. I added Prestone antifreeze to the coolant, and did a routine check over under the hood including checking the oil. I chatted with a couple of morning strollers and parkers. The geese sounds like they are making quite a loud noice on the island off the Benedict house, so I guess harbor dwellers have to put up with the early morning squaking of the geese or whatever type of birds they are. I parked in the center of town and sat on the bench in front of the senior center for a while. I returned about a half hour ago and had a batch of pasta fraische. Well it is too busy for me out, since I am ending my day. A friend who just got back from Key West is calling me up shortly. Well Greenwich seems normal and busy as usual for the morning. It is much warmer out, almost too warm for this time of year. I guess we have a warmer spring. Well keep a weather eye for spring showers. Not much to really report on. Have a good day. CIO
Note:<888>3/31/99 Wednesday 4:55 A.M. EST: I just remember, when I looked at a copy of the hacked page that the Russian hackers posted on the White House web site, there was in the code of the page, in the meta tag, a reference to what I think was a specific type of Soviet Aircraft, something like the SU-300, I assume somebody checked the code in the hacked web page. Well not much happening tonight, I tried to download some Elvis music, but I found only two tunes from working links which I posted. Another peculiar event tonight is that the Electronic Telegraph web page came up twice of the day of Princess Diane's accident. I suspect it was a gigo error. Well not much else to report on, all pretty quiet here. Routine work here, and not much to report on. CIO
Note:<888>3/31/99 Wednesday 12:05 A.M. EST: Well I slept from 4 A.M. yesterday to about 7 P.M. this evening. I had breakfast about 2 P.M. of Post Raisin bran, orange juice, coffee, vitamins, and toast. I then went back to sleep. I finally got up at 7 P.M., and had some pasta fraiche. I went out at 8 P.M., and I read the New York Times for the first time in four years and the local Greenwich paper. I can read the text in the New York Time faster than Reuters Yahoo news. I noticed the stone facing on the front of the Peterson addition is finished. I went down town, and I walked the lower section of Greenwich three times and the entire length of Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a couple of locals. It was a quiet evening with quite a few people out for dinner. I noticed somebody loading a harp into a station wagon at St. Marys. I guess it is pretty much the same old routine downtown. Walking on Greenwich Avenue like I do is good for the Cardiovascular System. I returned home and had some more pasta fraiche, diet Pepsi, and coffee. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Microsoft stock split today 2 for 1 today. I was using Earthtuner last night, and I noticed that WRN Russia Daily News in English has a link http://www.wrn.org/audio/1700_usa.ram where one can listen to the Voice of Russia World Service in English, to see what the propaganda is from the Voice of Russia, which can be quite informative. www.vor.ru Voice of Russia has been talking about the idea of putting together a Troika of "Russia, India, and China" for security purposes which account for nearly half of the world's population to counter the NATO advances in Yugoslavia. Well I did not read that in the New York Times. Well time to finish my coffee. Remember 2 billion people also speak Spanish and add to that the Commonwealth of Nations Countries which also includes India, and you're talking about more than half the Earth's population, so India could hold the balence of power in world confrontation. Well enough of Geo Politics. Over and Out. CIO

Note:<888>3/30/99 Tuesday 3:30 A.M. EST:Well UConn beat Duke. I am bushed time for a nap. CIO
Note:<888>3/30/99 Tuesday 2:30 A.M. EST: I searched The Police Officer's Internet Directory for wanted posters, but I did not recognize any of the faces I regularly see on my strolls on Greenwich Avenue. Well back to the net, another slow night on the net, maybe I should take up knitting or go back to watching television. CIO
Note:<888>3/29/99 Monday 11:40 P.M. EST: For those of you who know Yugoslavian and are interested in keeping track of the news from the front. Here are four local Yugoslavian links.
"http://beotel.yu/"BEOTELNET - Vas Internet provider
"http://www.eunet.yu" EUnet Yugoslavia
Note:<888>3/29/99 Monday 11:20 P.M. EST: Cable Modem service is working again. I checked with IBM Security in North Castle, New York 914-765-4400, and told them that the @home Cable Modem was out, and since it had never happened before, perhaps it had to do with the War in Yugoslavia and Government censorship. Well it is working for now. I keep the free NetZero \FREE\ Internet Connection Services dialer ISP service, for backup when the Cable modem does not work. However, the first time I installed the Netzero dialer, it messed up my Network settings, so exercise caution. I went out for a walk on lower Greenwich Avenue while waiting for the cable modem to come back up. Not much happening it was really slow. I noticed a couple of young bikers walking around, a dozen teenage girls in Starbucks, and a couple of au pairs smoking cigarettes in front of the senior center. Well I guess Monday and Tuesday nights are always slow. I guess it is back up all night on the net for me. Well have a good night. CIO
Note:<888>3/29/99 Monday 9:35 P.M. EST: I received a phone call about 6:30 P.M., and I chatted for a while. I went out about 7 P.M. and went to the library. I read two computer newsweeklies. I drove down Greenwich Avenue, and stopped by Steamboat Road. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought 6 bags of Ramen noodles for $1, a half gallon of Tropicana premium orange juice for $2, and box of Ronzonni Ziti for .67 and a box of Ronzonni Spaghetti for .67 for $4.34 total. I returned home and made a box of Spinich noodles and five brothers cheese sauce with herbs and spices and wine, and mixed the two together and had a dish of pasta fraische for dinner, along ice tea and a cup of coffee. The Cable modem is not working right now for some odd reason, so I will upload this with NetZero. Well have a good night. CIO
Note:<888>3/29/99 Monday 6:10 P.M. EST: Well I was up at 2 P.M., and I had breakfast of Post Raisin bran, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I recieved a phone call while I was showering that my 4 P.M. appointment was cancelled. I rested until 5:30 P.M.. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm which was at it's high today with the market closing above 10,000. I made a note in the index that the gain for the last year was +$90,870.66 on $1,199,698.25 invested in 156 different stocks a year ago, rising to 1,290,568.91 today which is a little less than 8% gain for the last year. Well I will go out shortly have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>3/29/99 Monday 3:15 A.M. EST: I finished my daily internet routine. It is pretty quiet on the internet. I updated Scott's Broadcast sound.htm . CIO
Note:<888>3/29/99 Monday 1:05 A.M. EST: I went out after the last message. I walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. There was live music in both Thataways and the Dome. It was very quiet out. I noticed the town finally got around to putting up a new flag at veterans monument. The old one was a little thread bare. I drove down to the end of Steamboat Road and viewed the harbor. I returned to Byram, and I stopped by Cumberland Farms and bought a half gallon of one percent milk for $1.59. I made a cup of coffee when I returned home. Well time for another quiet night on the net. Have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>3/28/99 Sunday 11:00 P.M. EST: I was up at noon today. I had breakfast of Post Raisin bran, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I got a tired spell after breakfast. I went back to bed until about 6 P.M.. I got up and finished my coffee. I had some Ramen noodles. I started cleaning my apartment and watering the plants. I finished about 9:30 P.M.. I listened to last weeks weekender report from www.ttalk.com . I just finished a Tony's pizza and I also finished making a batch of ice tea. I chatted with a family member. Well I have cleaned up while listening to the BBC up all night, so I will go out for a little while for fresh air. Well have a good night. CIO
Note:<888>3/28/99 Sunday 4:25 A.M. EST: I put reverse IP lookup "on" my Apache server. It is time for me to quit the net, and start relaxing. CIO
Note:<888>3/28/99 Sunday 2:55 A.M. EST: I upgraded from Apache 1.3.4 to 1.3.6 from www.apache.org which is pretty much a straight forward upgrade. Well back to relaxing. CIO
Note:<888>3/28/99 Sunday 1:55 A.M. EST: Well I went back out at after the last message. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought 6 bags of Roast Beef Ramen noodles for $1. I noticed one of the head local observers in the grocery store. I had my coffee in the rain. I also walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. I drove down to the end of Steamboat Road listening to NOAA weather, and there are flood warnings for the area. I returned about 11:30 P.M., and relaxed with a glass of ice tea until now. I am enjoying a quiet morning without much Net Activity. Today is Palm Sunday, so try to relax and enjoy yourself. Have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>3/27/99 Saturday 10:10 P.M. EST: I went out after the last message. I drove down Greenwich Avenue with a stop at CVS and they did not have the cigar cigarettes I like. I drove down Steamboat Road and I saw a new tan and white cat around the Indian Harbor Yacht Club hopefully to keep the rats away that linger around the waterfront. I went through Bruce Park and down by the Mianus River and west on the Post Road, and drove down to downtown Old Greenwich. I stopped by CVS there, and they did not have any of the cigar cigarettes I like. I went to Stables in Old Greenwich and browsed the merchandise, and chatted with the sales staff. They need help at Stables, they're shorthanded. I went by the Food Emporium at the Riverside shopping plaza and chatted with a few staff and customers there. I bought a gallon of Goldfish crackers for $14.99. I then went to CVS and bought five Swisser Sweets Lights and five Dutch Masters Lights little cigar cigarettes for $13.96. I returned to central Greenwich and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue and I chatted with a couple of locals. I returned home and broiled a shell steak, steamed mixed vegtables, microwaved Ramen noodles, and ate them all with ice tea. I made a cup of coffee and put it in my thermos, and I will go out and drink it downtown shortly. Well have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>3/27/99 Saturday 6:05 P.M. EST: Well I woke up at about noon today, and the tape backup was finished. I turned off the Sony SuperStation and put away the tape. I had Post Raisin bran, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and cafe au lait for breakfast. I got a tired spell, so I went back to sleep until 5:30 P.M., and I then finished my coffee and had some Ramen noodles. Well time to clean up and go out after I read the news. Have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>3/27/99 Saturday 4:15 A.M. EST: Well believe it or not I feel tired, I guess it was all the walking. I guess, I will reboot and start a backup on the tape drive. Have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>3/27/99 Saturday 3:15 A.M. EST: Well I finished my email. I put together a George Bush - Elizabeth Dole 2000 Page . On Tuesday or Wednesday IBM will release the download of Lotus Notes and Domino Server, they usually post a time expire demo from this link Lotus Software Downloads , however since IBM does not know who I am, I guess I won't be using it, and since I am so simple minded, I would not be able to figure out the complexites of an IBM software product that 40 million smart people seem to enjoy using. Well lets see if Lou danes to send me a copy to try out, and he knows I will download the demo when it comes out. Well I like the night schedules, it is much more quiet and relaxing instead of watching all the stressed out people in Greenwich on Thursday worrying about security. I chatted with the Kennedy security guard across the street from the Greenwich Train station in the office building, and he seemed to be a smart security person. I guess like in Scotland, the Duke of Argyle is a large fellow who maintains his own private army, and technically the Duke Edinburgh as the Queen's husband maintains the largest private military in the world, depending on one's perspective. Well have a good morning, and if you have problems falling asleep, you can always try a cup of hot chocolate or coco with a little liquer in it. CIO
Note:<888>3/27/99 Saturday 1:30 A.M. EST: Well I went back to bed until 6 P.M.. I got up and watched the ABC evening news. I had a broiled rib eye steak, Ramen noodles, green beans, ice tea, and cafe au lait for dinner. I digested the steak before going out, since it was out of the freezer it gave me a bit of gas. I went out about 9 P.M. and walked around lower Greenwich Avenue several times, and then walked up to the top of Greenwich Avenue and sat on the bench in front of U.S. Trust. I chatted with a traveler from Maryland about the area and briefed him on national news. I walked back down to the bottom of Greenwich Avenue, and quite a few people were in the Dome restaurant. I returned home to my building. An ambulence and police car were in front of the building, and another tenant was being taken out who was not feeling well. I had some Ramen noodles, ice tea, and Pepperidge Farm gold fish crackers. I will do a little regular internet work. It is still very cool out, and my left leg fell asleep while sitting on the bench downtown, so I guess I have to keep walking a bit to keep my circulation better. Well have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>3/26/99 Friday 2:10 P.M. EST: Well I finally was to bed about 6 A.M. this morning. A relative from Houston, Texas "Nute Scott" called up about making sure his listing for Scott Surplus Machinery, Houston TX was listed in my internet directory. I chatted with him for about an hour, and he is related to Winfield Scott like I am. He has the same Texas drawl that my southern relatives usually have. I don't think he knew I was half awake. Well I put him in the Engineering, Scott's Internet Hotlist page. I don't think he knew I was a little bit foggy. Well having a few relative in the country, it was good to hear from a relative. I had breakfast of Post Raisin Bran, toast, vitamins, coffee, and orange juice. I am just getting going. I also checked with a local group that advertises a lot about having them looking into being written into the Simpson's cartoons which seems to be very popular amongst the younger generation. Well time to begin to clean up, and see a little afternoon daylight. Have a good afternoon. CIO
Note:<888>3/26/99 Friday 4:15 A.M. EST: Unusual Audubon sighting today, there were about eight Canadian Geese on the lawn of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club late this afternoon, which is rather peculiar since they usually flock to other parts of the harbor, I hope they don't anticipate unusual weather changes. CIO
Note:<888>3/26/99 Friday 3:45 A.M. EST: Well I have been reminising about the old days, back to square one. CIO
Note:<888>3/25/99 Thursday 7:55 P.M. EST: I went to bed at midnight last night, and I was up at 9 A.M. this morning. I did a bit of work on the computer. I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I chatted with a family member. I went out about 1 P.M.. I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York. I chatted with a bank employee. I went by the Greenwich Hospital thrift shop, and it was quite busy. I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I went by Exxon and bought $11.25 in premium. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat road and chatted with a local about the waterfront. I ran into a former neighbor, and I drove him uptown to buy Benson and Hedges. I saw the orangnizer of the Greenwich Year 2000 millenium event, and chatted with him. He said he just got back from skiing. I dropped off my former neighbor. I went by the Greenwich Library and read the local paper, and mention to a local investor that in the last year, my belwether index Scott's Index scopor01.htm had not done much this year and was only up a half percent, and it would probably be smarter to keep one's money in a bank like Northern Trust and draw interest. I also mentioned I knew somebody who sells Porches who seems to know how to handle various vehicles. I next went to the Grand Union and I noticed a local 1980 Red Volvo was not starting, so I tried to help its owner get started. I gave the owner some steel sand paper to clean off the points and contacts in the distributor cap. I tried spraying the ignition with WD-40. I sprayed a few other parts with WD-40 and I cheched the spark plug wires. The car still would not start, so I suggested it was flooded, and for him to wait a half hour. I thought when I got home, that possibly the fuse for the electronic fuel injection in the fuse box was blown possibly. I went into the Grand Union and bought Post Raisin bran for $2.50, Tropicana Ruby Red Orange Juice for $2.00, and half gallon of 2% milk for $1.77 for $6.27 total. I noticed the red volvo was still there, but the owner was not. I returned home and heated some my Scott's stew and I had ice tea with it and coffee. I updated Scott's Index. Well after I finish my coffee, I guess I will go out for a while. Have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>3/24/99 Wednesday 9:20 P.M. EST: Well I listened to President Clinton's Speach. I finished drying one load, and am just about finishing drying the second load of laundry. I chatted with one of my neighbors, and she told me that when my next door neighbor was taken out by the EMT on Sunday, she had been lying on the floor for two days with a broken hip, and she had taken off her Emergency Button necklase to "Call for Aid" in order to clean up, so she was unable to get help for two days. I was also told that a couple of neighbors who regularly check up on her were away. She will be in the hospital recovering from the hip operation and recupperating for a while. Thus it seems there should be a better system of monitoring are elderly and disabled neighbors in the building than what there is. I might go out for a walk after I finish the laundry. Have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>3/24/99 Wednesday 6:50 P.M. EST: I made a C: drive to D: drive backup. I am watching ABC evening news. I have to do laundry some time tonight. CIO
Note:<888>3/24/99 Wednesday 4:30 P.M. EST: I just had a bit to eat of my Scott's Stew and goldfish crackers along with ice tea, and I am having my coffee. I updated the Real Player, and WinAmp is suppose to come out with a update, but it is not posted yet. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Scott's Index is up less than a half percent for the year, and it lost most of its profits yesterday when it was down 3.4%. Well it goes to show, the Blue Chips have not changed much. Maybe with all my focus on high tech and the internet, I should have put more high tech stocks in the Portfolio, but remember it was suppose to be a Bellwether portfolio. Well time to finish my coffee and clean up, and I guess go out. CIO
Note:<888>3/24/99 Wednesday 12:55 P.M. EST: I put together Scott's Internet Hotlist Wisebot Search Links page, and linked it from the homepage, along with Scott's Greenwich Times Press Release scottgt01.htm . Well time to have a bite to eat and maybe a light nap before cleaning up. Have a good afternoon. CIO
Note:<888>3/24/99 Wednesday 10:25 A.M. EST: Here is link to a copy of the email I sent to Gregory Cowles of the Greenwich Times regarding my internet activity scottgt01.htm . CIO
Note:<888>3/24/99 Wednesday 9:25 A.M. EST: I let the Wisebot index run over night. I went to bed at midnight and was up at 8 A.M.. The Wisebot generated files are in Index of /wisebot . These are the key pages Wisebot Index , Wisebot Index Applet , Wisebot Sitemap - test , What's New . The cgi-bin search engine Wisbot generates, needs "perl.exe", which I am not sure whether it is available for the Win98 Apache server in order to use it. Time for breakfast. I also have a copy of the press release to the Greenwich Times, that I will release as soon as I proof it. Have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>3/23/99 Tuesday 4:45 P.M. EST: Well I went to bed at midnight last night after replying to an email message about an interview. I was up at 9 A.M. this morning. I had breakfast of GU raisin brans, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I did a bit of internet work today. I downloaded Download Wisebot 30 day demo for Win98 Internet Site search engine, and I am running the indexer on it right now. If it works, all right, I won't be able to use it after the demo expires, since the program costs a $1,000. Well a freebie for a month anyway. I also updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm which was down 3.4% today. Well not much else to report. I guess I will clean up soon and go out to enjoy the late afternoon. CIO
Note:<888>3/22/99 Monday 9:30 P.M. EST: I went out after the last message. I drowe down Greenwich Avenue, and stopped by the end of Steamboat Road. I chatted with a retired fisherman. I noticed a upturned Yellow Plastic Kayac in the water against the Indian Harbor sea wall, and about the same time I noticed the Fire Chief's car pulling into the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. I walked up and told him about the Kayac. He summoned the rescue squad and several Greenwich Police emergency vehicles showed up along with a fire truck. One officer suited up with his dive equipment, and by the same time another officer had commandeered a Zodiac from the Yacht Club and they upturned the Kayac, and no one was in it. The Harbor Patrol scouted the water to see if there were any bodies floating around. It looked like the high wind out of the west, northwest and southwest had possibly blown the Kayac off shore. It was partially waterlogged and with water in it weighed about 200 pounds, so it is possible the wind blew it into the water and then absorbed the water in a leak caused by it banging against an obsticle like the sea wall. In all there were about 15 personnel on the response to the scene including a half dozen civalian observers. The Yellow plastic Kayac was similar to the model that Outdoor Traders sells, and it had written on the bow in magic marker, something like Ski Shop #15. The fire department retrieved the Kayac for missing property, and the rest of the crew retreated. One young girl was parked on the scene and was wandering why the response team had shown up at the end of the road. I saw a few faces, I had not scene in a while. I then headed up to the Greenwich Library and chatted with a couple of regulars. I started to read the paper, only to realize, I did not have my reading glasses. I then went downtown and chatted inside with one local downtowner, and I then walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. It is very windy and cold out, lets hope we don't get more snow. I had some Ramen noodles with stew for a light dinner. Well have a good evening. Scott's Index has been updated scopor01.htm . CIO
Note:<888>3/22/99 Monday 4:35 P.M. EST: One of the reasons I maintain this site, is that I have relatives who work and travel outside of the country. I just recieved distressing news that my oldest half sister Mary Ellen who works setting up Hospitals in Zambia went Kayacking last week with a friend, and an alligator knocked over the kayack and the fellow she was with was eaten by an alligator, and she floated down the river full of alligators and hippopottommi for an hour before she was finally able to crawl up on one of the banks. The only remains of the fellow she was with were a couple of fingers. I just chatted with another friend who is going down to the Keys tommorrow. It reminds me of when I was hiking the Applaician Trail around 1978, and it started snowing after four days in April and we were surrounded by bears, the friend I was hiking with decided to hitch hike down to the South Carolina shore. After walking through Huntington Island and camping out there on the beach to awake on Sunday morning with thousands of Marines around us, we went down to Hilton Head to camp on the beach. That evening we heard what we thought was a hoot owl, but I knew better, and since we had no weapons with us, I started boiling water for tea. I knew exactlly what it was, and the following morning there were alligator tracks around our tent from about a fourteen foot alligator. Also when I was about four years old in Pensacola, Florida around 1954, I used to take the row boat out in Bayou and once when the rowboat was about 20 feet offshore, an alligator swam up to the side of the boat. I was really scared and I pushed at the alligator with the oar, and I was finally able to pull the boat in with the rope that was still attached to shore. Also when I use to camp out in Florida in 1977 and 1978 in the winters while I was homeless, I had a feeling there were alligators around, so I have learned to keep my kharma with alligators, but at my age I think I will avoid hitchhiking on Alligator Alley for now. Well it goes to show, when you travel out of your familiar environment, you have to watch yourself. Time to clean up and go out. I set up my server to 100 streams instead of 50. I also recieved an interesting email message, that I have to think about. CIO
Note:<888>3/22/99 Monday 2:45 P.M. EST: Well I was up at 9 A.M. this morning and had breakfast of Post Raisin bran, toast, cafe au lait, orange juice, and vitamins. I watched an hour of the Discovery Channel on GeoTectonics and they mentioned www.discoveryschool.com . I got a tired spell about 10:30 A.M., and went back to bed until 2 P.M.. I got up and finished my coffee and I updated Scott's Broadcast sound.htm . I am also making up a batch of icetea.htm . Well have an enjoyable afternoon. CIO
Note:<888>3/21/99 Sunday 11:00 P.M. EST: Well after the Tony's pizza and ice tea, I went out for a walk on lower Greenwich Avenue about 9 P.M. to 10 P.M.. It was drizzling out, but I walked the lower section twice. Not much happening on a rainy night with everyone watching the Oscars. Well you know I don't watch much of the old tube, so I am off in my own world. However, my server is serving up 43 of 50 steams right now, so I guess I am busier on rainy nights. My next door neighbor is in the hospital, and there is a note on her door not for Meal on Wheels to deliver. I hope she is all right. She has been having problems with her eye sight. Not much else to report. I guess I could try some creative writting, but who knows if it were successful, I would have to give up the computer and take up writting. It was basically a pretty quiet day. There is a sign on the Post Road opposite near the entrance to my apartment complex pointing our way, saying "Red Cross Disaster Center", which seems rather peculiar. CIO
Note:<888>3/21/99 Sunday 7:45 P.M. EST: I went out about 5 P.M. and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue in the rain twice. There were not many people out. I noticed a few people had staked out Starbucks. A few shops were closing. I guess we still have the winter doldrums around here. I remembered I had to get some ArthriRescue. I drove over to Fresh Fields organic grocery store, and they lowered the price of ArthriRescue from $17.99 to $14.39. I bought a 90 capsule bottle for $14.39, and I also bought a half gallon of 2% milk for $1.89. There were quite a lot of people at the Fresh Fields shopping center. They have a very nice selection of food, but it is very pricey compared to the Grand Union. Still it makes one hungry just looking at it all. I returned home. I watched a bit of television about Italy, and they were also showing the party facilities for the Oscars www.oscar.com . I guess they will be chowing down in Hollywood. I then watched bits of a couple of cooking shows, and I started watching the "Two Fat Ladies" cooking show about making Venison Pie and EggPlant stuffed red peppers. It is a very amusing show on channel 71. They seem to have a sense of humour about cooking, and obviously know how to cook. I am low on spending funds after buying the Sony Tape Drive, but I have plenty of food in the freezer and a few jars in the cupboard, so I have enough food until the end of the month. I am trying to think what I will have for dinner. I guess I will have a Tony's frozen pizza. Well time to put it in the convection oven, and I guess then back to the net. CIO
Note:<888>3/21/99 Sunday 4:45 P.M. EST: I was up at 8:30 A.M.. I had breakfast of GU raisin bran, toast, orange juice, coffee and vitamins. I chatted with a family member. I fell back asleep until 12:30 P.M.. I watched a PBS program with Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. I made some Ramen noodles and put some of my heated stew on them for a filling lunch. I put on some music and started cleaning the apartment and watering the plants. I heard one of my neighbors check on my next door neighbor. He called the EMT and my next door neighbor left with the EMT. I hope she is all right. I finished cleaning the apartment and watering the plants while listening to opera and classical music. I had some ice tea and took a shower. I will go outside now for some fresh air. Have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>3/21/99 Sunday 12:10 A.M. EST: Well not much happening in this neck of the woods. I suppose everyone has bowed out for the evening. As far as I can tell, no one is very much interested in the comings and goings in this area, since it is too cold for most people except the North people. Well today is the first day of spring, so I suppose we're have to start working up a sweat soon enough. As far as I can tell, the same media activity is being broadcast and there is not much new content, just enough to barely keep the visitors occupied. Basically most travelers don't pay too much attention to the media, since their itineraries are usually organized ahead. Well back to net ville. Try searching you name at Alta Vista and see how web spiders opitimize "GIGO", Garbage In Garbage Out. I suppose the real truth is that too many people are lost in the hinterlands never to return. OAO, CIO.
Note:<888>3/20/99 Saturday 10:00 P.M. EST: I went out and mailed two letters at the West Putnam Avenue post office. I drove downtown and down by Steamboat Road. I stopped by the Grand Union and bought a box of GU raisin bran for $2.19 and a pound of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" for .99 for $3.18 total. It looks pretty quiet out this evening. I suppose with everyone into the internet, and the movies being boring and rather redundant, most people as usual would rather stay home in the quiet and comfort of their homes. All quiet on the eastern front. CIO
Note:<888>3/20/99 Saturday 8:40 P.M. EST: I had an aperagus omletter with parmesian cheese sprinkled on it with bacon and toast for dinner along with ice tea. I am just about to go out to mail a letter. CIO
Note:<888>3/20/99 Saturday 7:50 P.M. EST: I had a quiet afternoon. I ran scandisk and I defragged the C: drive. I watched a bit of television while doing this. I shut down the server while running the maintenance utilities. I recieved a post card from Australia with a King Parrot on it, and I turned on the television and there was a program about river rafting in Australia. Well I guess it is time for dinner. I am not sure what I will have yet. Have a quiet evening. CIO
Note:<888>3/20/99 Saturday 2:25 P.M. EST: Well I went back to sleep after the last message. I just had a bowl of stew and am making a cup of coffee. The sun from the west is beginning to shine through the curtains, so it looks like it is sunny and warm out. I guess I am rested. Another day facing the onslaught of activity in Greenwich. Not much happening on the internet. The first lady is looking for Nick's place in Casablanca. Well I suppose Starbucks is crowded with tired shoppers. I guess when the rich and powerful weekenders start spending their paychecks it is good for the local economy. Well I hear the coffee brewing into the pot, time for my coffee. CIO
Note:<888>3/20/99 Saturday 7:45 A.M. EST: Well I was up about 4 A.M.. I had breakfast of GU old fashioned oatmeal, toast, cafe au lait, vitamins, and orange juice. I rested a bit until 6 A.M.. I wrote a letter to a family member. I am printing out a few envelopes right now. CIO
Note:<888>3/19/99 Friday 7:20 P.M. EST: And for you cullinary enthusiasts who want to know what else I ate today, I had a Tony's pizza at 9 A.M. that gave me a bit of heart burn. I just finished a bowl of Scott's World Famous Stew that I made up and froze several months ago, so not much happening on the net, since the Chinese kidnapped Bill Gates and are trying to teach him Chinese, so he can learn the different Asian mathematics system. It is just a theory, but I believe Chinese numbers go from 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7, and 10 is the equivalent of 8, so a lot of their engineering is a bit different. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 is the Arabic mathematics system. Startrek numbers might be based on a binary hex system. CIO
Note:<888>3/19/99 Friday 5:40 P.M. EST: Well I installed the Seagate Tape Backup software this morning that came with the Sony Superstation Tape backup, and installation was straight forward with no problems. I started a backup of the entire system about 3.5 G. on the C: drive plus 1 G. on the D: drive of the partial hard drive backup to the New Sony System. It took 6 hours for 4.5 G. of mostly compressed material, so I only got 1.10 compression. However it all fit on the 5G-10G compressed tape. I went out at 9 A.M. after starting the backup. I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I drove down Greenwich Avenue and viewed Steamboat Road waterfront. I returned to the center of town and parked on the lower Greenwich Avenue parking lot. I stopped by Consignment Express upstairs at 6 Griggs Street, but they only do business by appointment anymore. I chatted with Di's son who is a commodity trader next door about tech. The Consignment Express at 6 Grigg Street handles used equipment and tech and repair. Di knows the business. Their business phone is 203-869-7330. I recieved a $7.50 check from them yesterday for a controller I consigned years ago. I next walked up the center of Greenwich Avenue and back down to the Mews thrift shop. I next walked around the Greenwich Avenue area until 11 A.M.. I then went to the Greenwich Library and the local paper was not there. I chatted with a couple of regulars and surfed the internet until noon. I returned home and rested for an hour, and then had a cup of coffee while the tape backup was still continuously running. I recieved a telemarketing call saying that because of the situation in Russia, It was time to refinance my home which was very peculiar. I then went back downtown at 2 P.M. and stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop, and viewed some of the merchandise and chatted with the staff. I then drove down Greenwich Avenue to the bottom of Steamboat Road, and viewed the harbor. I returned to the center of Greenwich Avenue about 3 P.M.. I parked and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue around the train station. I noticed a Worcester and Providence freight train come throught the station east bound on the express tracks with four new diesel locamotives and about a dozen new coal or gravel cars. Thus I guess that railroad is still in business. I walked up to the center of Greenwich Avenue, and sat in front of the senior center for a while. I walked up to CVS and checked to see if they carry men's change purses. I stopped by Saks and they don't car them either. Wagners leather has gone out of business that usually carries them. I checked with the cowboy boot shop and they don't carry them. I checked with the luggage store next to Richards and they don't carry them , but they have a $40 key chain with leather purse, which is a bit pricey compared to the $8 change purse Wagners use to carry. I stopped by Richards and they don't carry them either. I stopped by Euro Sport and they don't carry the item either. I returned to the center of Greenwich Avenue, about 4:30 P.M.. I headed on over to the Arnold Bread store and bought three loaves of Healthnut bread for about $3, and they gave me a box of St. Patrick's chocolate donut holes and a pound cake. I commented to them that the Granddaddy of All Sea Gulls must feed out of their dumpsters. I told them about the Crows that fly into Jamestown, New York every night by the hundreds of thousands, and warned her the sea gull can be a dangerous bird. I returned home and gave one of my elderly neighbors the pound cake and a loaf of bread, since it was too much for me to eat or store. I watched part of President Clinton's new conference, and closed out the tape backup program that was finished. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm which was down a bit today with IBM the big loser. Well have a good evening, it is time for me to begin to relax and go to bed. A lot of walking and a long day. Have a good night. CIO
Note:<888>3/19/99 Friday 7:50 A.M. EST: Well I went out and stopped by the Roosevelts' Bank on Mason Street better known as Putnam Trust Bank of New York and withdrew funds to buy the Sony Superstation Tape Backup. I drove over to Stables in Old Greenwich and bought the Sony Superstation External Tape Backup Machine for $149.99 plus with the Staples circular coupon one gets a free Sony 10 gigabyte tape worth $39.99 for free plus $9 Ct. Sales tax, the total bill was $158.98. Well time to shut down the server for a short time and connect the tape drive and install the software and then make a full backup of the system. Well have a good morning. Enjoy the day. CIO
Note:<888>3/19/99 Friday 6:15 A.M. EST: I was up at 2 A.M., and did a little regular internet work. I had breakfast of Kelloggs Raisin brans, toast, coffee, orange juice, and vitamins. I got a tired spell and went back to sleep until 5 A.M.. I checked with Switchboard.Find a Business - Results, Police Redmond, Washington as to weather they have any problems with Bill Gates lookalikes. I checked with the White House Secret Service Intelligence Agency 1-202-435-5000 and told them that it seems like Carlo Di Bennedetti and his group of Olivetti Italians are ticked off for some reason. I also told them they should check with the treasury department and FDIC about auditing Putnam Trust Bank of New York, since unusually large amount of cash seem to moving through the bank possibly caused by some sort of illegal money laundering activity. I also chatted with Microsoft Security in Redmond, Washington 1-425-936-0000 Ext. 0 and compared notes on any Microsoft activity in the area. Well Putnam Trust Bank of New York's 800 number 1-800-CALLBNY says that I have funds available, so after I shower now, I will go downtown and withdraw funds, and stop by Staples in Old Greenwich and buy the Sony Tape Backup which comes with the free tape for $150 plus about $10 tax for $160 total. It will make matters tight financially a bit at the end of this month, but I think it is important to have a decent backup of my computer system, since it reflects up to 50,000 hours of work, irregardless of what some cheap SOBs might think about the value of the work. After all I do have close to 100,000 people a month using my three sites, so somebody out there thinks my work is worthwhile. Well have a good day, time to hit the showers. CIO
Note:<888>3/18/99 Thursday 4:25 P.M. EST: I did routine internet work until noon. I had a bowl of Scott's Stew about 7 A.M. along with ice tea. I had coffee about noon. I went downtown and returned "Charles at 50" and "Mt. Rainier" to the Greenwich Library and owed a .60 fine on both. I chatted with a couple of regular patrons. I stopped by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street and all the regular staff were not there, just the temporary employees, so nobody knew me, so I could not cash a check. It seems rather confusing all the bank's senior staff would be out of the office today, I guess it was a nice day; so they were out playing golf. Thus at the moment I don't have the ready funds to get the Sony Tape drive. I don't think I need it anyway, since IBM and Microsoft don't think my site is worth anything, I guess I really should not spend funds to help them prosper. Well I'll check it out tomorrow. It seems that most of the floor staff at Putnam Trust Bank of New York are foreigners, since United States citizens don't feel like doing the jobs. Well if some of the "old guard" had walked in, they would have pulled their funds and put them in Northern Trust, just to teach them a lesson. Well I then went to the Hospital Thrift Shop and viewed the merchadise, and I chatted with one customer about Currier and Ives prints and golf clubs. I noticed they have a reproduction print of the J.F.K. library. I then drove down Greenwich Avenue and viewed the harbor. I made my 3 P.M. appointment. I also stopped by the Greenwich Hospital and had a roast beef sandwich for $3.65. For those in the know the Greenwich Hospital cafeteria is one of the most reasonable places to eat in town. I returned home about 3:45 P.M.. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well not much else to report. It was up to about 70 degrees F. today, but I have a feeling this is just the teaser before we get colder weather again. I made a C: drive to D: drive backup of the critical files. It is rather amusing with all the foreigners in town, it is hard to communicate since a lot of people don't seem to know English very well, and I don't speak Spanish. Well have a good day. CIO
Note:<888>3/18/99 Thursday 6:15 A.M. EST: I updated info.htm which goes in the downloadable files "scott005.zip" and "scott006.zip" and also put it in the downloadables. CIO
Note:<888>3/18/99 Thursday 5:40 A.M. EST: Well I downloaded the full download of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 from my Windows 98 Update Link, and downloaded the "ie5setup" file. I downloaded and installed the full version. After installing I went through the reboot process and just for safe measure I rebooted a second time to write the new setting to the registry. I then downloaded the other new files from the Windows 98 Update which included the usual updates with Microsoft Internet Explorer, and after installation and rebooting, I rebooted a second time to write to the registry. They all work fine with one exception. The new version of Frontpage Express is still buggy like the beta. It is still does not work. I restored my older version of Frontpage Express from my backup. If you don't have a backup of Frontpage Express and you have installed the new version and have the same problem, you can uninstall it, and install the older version of Frontpage Express from the Windows 98 Cdrom. I am not sure what the problem is with the beta and new version of Frontpage Express, but I suppose Microsoft will have some explanation, unless they want us to buy Frontpage 2000. Also yesterday when I went out on my second trip I stopped by CVS and bought a large bottle of CVS generic asperin for $3.79, a can of Gold Emblem Cashews $2.69, and two packs of Dutch Masters cigar cigarettes for $1.25 each with .15 CT. sales tax for $9.13 total. Well I have all the Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 updates up and running, time to test them. Have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>3/18/99 Thursday 3:40 A.M. EST: Well Scott's Internet Hotlist "mrscott.com" Greenwich, Connecticut Local Server my internic name "mrscott.com" is up and running. I have to reenter the internic address to also show www.mrscott.com which is not working yet. Today I went out at 8:30 A.M. after starting a tape backup of the major contents of Drive C:. I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I drove down Greenwich Avenue to the harbor and viewed the harbor and chatted with a local resident and another visitor. I returned home at about 10:15 A.M., and put in a second tape. I had some Scott's Stew for an early lunch. I went back downtown to the library and read the local paper. I also read P.C. World.. I went downtown and walked the lower section of Greenwich Avenue. It was quite busy near lunch time. I said hello to a few people I know. I returned home about 12:30 P.M. and put in a third tape. I started to rest for a nap. About 5 P.M. after a phone call, I took out the last third tape and started backing up the Beatles, Classical, and some of my other music Mp3 files. I did not do the music1 and music3 directories. I had a bite to eat of Scott's Stew again. I changed to a second tape about 9 P.M. after resting more. I woke up finally about 2 A.M. and put in the third final tape. I had breakfast of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, vitamins, orange juice, and coffee. I watched two programs on Channel 21 about the Erie Canel. About 3 A.M. the third and final music tape backup was finished. I updated links to "mrscott.com" on my three homepages at my three sites. I updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well time for routine internet work, have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>3/17/99 Wednesday 5:40 A.M. EST:Well I finished my laundry. I recieved notification that Internic finally accepted my domain name "mrscott.com". I resubmitted the application again using my home server "valueclick.net" for "mikescott.net" Domain name server for the secondary IP address in the domain registration. I used :
>>> >Secondary Name Server(s)
>>> >8a. Secondary Server Hostname.......: NS.VALUEWEB.NET
>>> >8b. Secondary Server Netaddress.....: 199.227.124.192
which worked. I recieved a message from www.internic.net that my domain name would be added in the next root server update at 18:00. Well what a hassle. Now I have to pay $70 to internic for the name, and I also owe them another $70 for registering the two year old name "mikescott.net", which is $210 all total for Internic names this last six months. Well so much for the profitability of the internet. I still have not decided whether to get the Sony Tape backup or not. I suppose I should, but I am waiting for a check in the mail. All this money on computers and the internet, just to sit home and wonder where my next meal is coming from. Maybe some of my Deadbeat Advertisers should pay for my homepage links to their sites. Well back to the net. CIO
Note:<888>3/17/99 Wednesday 4:30 A.M. EST: Well Happy St. Patricks' Day. I suppose any Irish cousins won't be in too good of shape today. Well I woke up at midnight and had some of my Scott's Stew and did a little internet work, before going back to bed. I was up at 4 A.M. and started my laundry, and it is now on the dry cycle. I had breakfast of Kelloggs Raisin bran, toast, coffee, vitamins, and orange juice. I am sipping my coffee and starting my internet work. I should be done with the dry cycle in about 45 minutes. Well have a good morning. CIO
Note:<888>3/16/99 Tuesday 9:00 P.M. EST: I was finally up at about 9 A.M. this morning. I had breakfast of Kellogss raisin bran, toast, orange juice, coffee, and vitamins. I cleaned up and went out at 10 A.M.. I started a tape backup of most of the system before going out. I went by Exxon and filled up my tank. I stopped by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. I drove down Greenwich Avenue and went by the Mews thrift shop. I drove down to the end of Steamboat Road and viewed the harbor. I went by ELDC thrift and bought a solid oak lazy susan for $8 and a ream of Simpson paper for $5. I had to run over to Putnam Trust to get the funds where I chatted briefly with the floor manager. I returned to ELDC thrift and purchased the items. I returned home, and put the lazy susan underneath my television, so it can be swivaled for viewing. This was about noon, and I put in a second backup tape into my tape machine. I had lunch of Stauffers lasagna and ice tea. I went out and went by the Greenwich library and read the local paper and chatted with a couple of regular users. I drove down to the harbor again and viewed the water. I drove around Bruce Park and then returned home. I put in a third tape about 3 P.M.. I lied down for a short nap, and I fell asleep until 8:30 P.M. when somebody called me up. The tape drive was not finishing its "writting header" finish progress, so I removed the tape, and the tape backup program gave me a error message. I then reinserted it, and it finished its progress, I guess without writting the header, it was having an error flushing the header. I am not sure if it is good for a backup or not, but for now it will have to do. I don't have a backup of my music files. I recieved email from internic about my domain registration for "mrscott.com", and I changed the secondary domain name to "mikescott.net" with its IP address instead of "2.mrscott.com", which should work. Thus it should be a couple of days until the "mrscott.com" domain name starts working. Well I will have a bite to eat and do a little computer work. I also updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . CIO
Note:<888>3/16/99 Tuesday 5:25 A.M. EST: I guess I was tired after the last message when I went to bed, because I mistakenly turned off the computer CPU from the control panel instead of the monitor. Well system is back up and running. I also woke up and ate a Tony's pizza at midnight. CIO
Note:<888>3/15/99 Monday 6:50 P.M. EST: I went out at about 10 A.M.. All the thrift shops were closed today, so there was not much to do. I had a Almond Danish from St. Moritz while I waited for the library to open late at 11 A.M.. I went in and read the local newspaper and a couple of computer newsweeklies. I returned home about noon and slept until 3 P.M. when I got up and made my 4 P.M. appointment. I drove down to the bottom of Steamboat Road and viewed the harbor. I drove over to Old Greenwich and toured the Stables. This week through Saturday they have the Sony 10-6 G. tape backup for $150 and with the coupon in the store circular you get a free $40 tape. I should get it, but at the moment I don't have the funds. I went by the Hyatt Hotel and toured the tourists. I chatted with Hotel Security about Scott family matters. I stopped by Caldors, but they are closed. I stopped by the Greenwich Libray and chatted with a patron and a staff member. Well I am back at home base. I also updated Scott's Index scopor01.htm . Well have a good evening. CIO
Note:<888>3/15/99 Monday 9:20 A.M. EST: I updated Scott's Broadcast sound.htm, well have a good day. CIO
Note:<888>3/15/99 Monday 9:00 A.M. EST: Well I had a cup of coffee. I finished internet routine. I emailed an internet pal in Denmark. I suppose it is time to go out and check out on the daytime activity, have a good day. I have a 4 P.M. appointment this afternoon. CIO
Note:<888>3/15/99 Monday 7:15 A.M. EST: I went downtown at 4 A.M.. I cleaned about five inches of snow off the car. The Department of Public Works have the roads cleared, and were working on clearing the sidewalks. I walked around the train station area and the entire length of Greenwich Avenue to the top and back down. I said Good Morning to some of the snow crew. The NOAA weather radio said there might be more snow, but it was 34 degrees then and 36 degrees now, so it is warming up. I then drove down to the bottom of Steamboat Road and viewed the harbor. I returned home and one of my neighbors gave me $5 to drive him over to Port Chester. I returned home and chatted with one of my neighbors having their morning coffee. I suppose I will go out at 8:30 A.M.. I am not sure whether the Greenwich schools are open today, but the roads downtown are cleared. Well stay warm and have a good day. Time for coffee. CIO
Note:<888>3/15/99 Monday 4:05 A.M. EST: Well there is about four inches of snow on the roof. It is 34 degress F. outside. I finished cleaning the apartment and watering the plants. I listened to www.ttalk.com weekender report while doing the house cleaning. About 3 A.M. I had filet of Salmon baked in wine and herbs with baked potatoe, baked onion, steamed asperagus, and ice tea. I am just finishing up making a batch of icetea.htm which should be ready in ten minutes. I also just finished showering and cleaning up. I will do a little internet work, and I guess I will go out in the morning about 8:30 A.M.. Well stay warm, it is not snowing now, so it does not look like we got a lot of snow. CIO
Note:<888>3/15/99 Monday 12:20 A.M. EST: I was up at 6 P.M. yesterday. I chatted with a family member. I went out to the Grand Union for a gallon of 2% milk for $3.09 and a piece of filet of Salmon for $5.15. It was just beginning to snow. I returned home and had breakfast of Kelloggs raisin bran, toast, vitamins, coffee, and orange juice and while I was drinking my coffee I got another tired spell and went back to bed until just now. I had one phone call while sleeping. I am finishing my reheated coffee, and I will start house cleaning shortly. There is about two to three inch accummulation of snow. Well have a good morning. CIO
