8929 Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 10:25 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I finished configuring the OpenSUSE partition on the Dell Latitude 4600i computer. Its Grub boot loader on installation on a second partition on the first hard drive recognized Windows XP Professional on the first partition on the first hard drive and Windows 8 Developer on the second hard drive, so one does not have to use the Dell F12 key at boot up to boot Windows 8 Developer. Of course the second hard drive with Windows 8 Developer might be failing, but if that happens, I can install Windows 8 Developer on a spare 40 gigabyte IDE hard drive that I have. CIO Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 7:40 P.M. I showered, and I cleaned up, and I put foot fungus cream on my feet and right hand palm. I threw out the garbage. I did not get any mail today. CIO Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 6:45 P.M. I went to bed after the last note. I had a computer marketing telephone call about 9 A.M.. I had a no person telephone call about noon. Around 3:30 P.M., I received a telephone call from www.geico.com about the hit and run accident I saw on Greenwich Avenue about a month ago. I told them what I could remember, and I told then I did not get the license plate number. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk. I went back to bed until 6:15 P.M.. I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed. CIO Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 7:50 A.M. I have the updates installed on the OpenSUSE partition on the Dell Latitude 4600i computer. I will configure it at a later time. I will now shut down the primary work computer and go to bed. Earlier I ate a scone. Mostly sunny today and 75 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit. CIO Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 6:05 A.M. I move the Audi to its usual place. I picked up the mail. I am now paying $13 a month for two Cablevision boxes instead of $6.50 for both, since the free year on the other one expired. CIO Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 5:35 A.M.

I ate the rest of the Chef's salad with Ken's blue cheese dressing and olive oil and a 12 ounce glass of diet A&W root beer. CIO Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 4:05 A.M. I paid my www.cablevision.com Digital Family Cable TV, Optimum Online Boost Cable Modem, and Optimum Voice Long Distance bills, my www.cl-p.com electricity bill, and my www.verizon.com telephone bill. CIO Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 3:15 A.M. On the Dell Latitude 4100i desktop computer in the bedroom, I can still boot Windows 8 Developer from the second hard drive with the F12 key from the Dell Bootup menu. Thus after I install the Windows XP Professional Updates on it, I will install www.opensuse.org on the second partition on the first hard drive. CIO Note: <888> 09/30/11 Friday 2:45 A.M. I have not cleaned up yet. I took the spare unconnected old Seagate IDE 160 gigabyte hard drive out of the FIC server, and I put it in the Dell Latitude 4600i computer as the primary hard drive with the second Western Digital 80 gigabyte hard drive as the second hard drive. However, the Windows 8 Developer backup that I had made to the Western Digital external hard drive would not restore from the Windows 8 DVD. I even tried Windows 7 and Vista DVDs to restore it. I reconnected the Western Digital 80 gigabyte hard drive as the primary drive, but the XP Boot Manager disappeared, and I was not able to restore it by the XP Boot Manager Repair process or with EasyBCD. I reconnected the Seagate 160 gigabyte hard drive as the primary drive, and I partitioned it with the Vista DVD into two 75 gigabyte partitions. I am now restoring the Paragon backup of Windows XP Professional to it, and then I will install its updates, and I will then reinstall Windows 8 Developer on the second partition. Once I have it configured, I will make a Paragon Backup from Windows XP Professional of both partitions to the second hard drive and the Western Digital external hard drive. This will take some time. However, I will have a better hard drive in the Dell Latitude 4600i computer. CIO Note: <888> 09/29/11 Thursday 11:15 P.M. I called up the Key West Hotel Resorts & Florida Keys Beach Accommodations - Casa Marina Key West , and I told them they should keep an eye on Tropical Storm PHILIPPE Tracking which they were not aware of. I will now shower and clean up and put foot fungus cream on my feet and right hand palm. CIO Note: <888> 09/29/11 Thursday 10:55 P.M. I rested some more. I ate five chocolate chip cookies. I sort of feel worn out a bit from my walking last night, but it might possibly be from not eating enough food. I have plenty of food in my apartment, and I feel full, so that 8931 might not be the problem. I have very low blood pressure, so when the barometric pressure is low when it is raining, it makes me feel tired. CIO Note: <888> 09/29/11 Thursday 9:35 P.M. I chatted with a friend. I ate half of the remaining Chef's salad with Ken's blue cheese dressing and olive oil and a scone and a 12 ounce glass of A&W diet root beer. CIO Note: <888> 09/29/11 Thursday 8:30 P.M. I chatted with a relative.

CIO Note: <888> 09/29/11 Thursday 7:30 P.M. I went back to bed until now. I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed. CIO Note: <888> 09/29/11 Thursday 5:35 P.M. I chatted with two friends whom were busy with their daily activity. In my particular case, I am getting ready for my daily night time activity. CIO Note: <888> 09/29/11 Thursday 5:20 P.M.

I woke up, and I ate a day old scone. I finally woke up at 3:30 P.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk.

I was sort of hoping he might bail out the poor Vanderbilt family and buy www.biltmore.com . Well, it is in the mountains. CIO Note: <888> 09/29/11 Thursday 2:55 A.M. I ate a scone and a slice of cheese. Recently, when I have been eating a slice of cheese, it is a .25 inch by 1 inch by 2.5 inch slice of Stop and Shop Monterey Jack cheese. CIO Note: <888> 09/29/11 Thursday 2:30 A.M. G.R.H. stands for somebody very private in Europe who does not want to be bothered Geoffrey R.

For novices on personal computers, ten years ago or more, www.ibm.com used to charge $400 an hour for maintaining personal computers. Thus if a hacker were in a jurisdiction where they could be sued for damages, they could accrue a lot of damage costs for hacking other people's personal computers. Also there are various state and federal laws against hacking computers. Ignorance of the law usually is not an excuse. CIO Note: <888> 09/28/11 Wednesday 11:50 P.M. I ate one third of the Chef's salad I made this past morning with Ken's blue cheese dressing and olive oil and a day old scone and a 12 ounce glass Nestea ice tea. CIO Note: <888> 09/28/11 Wednesday 11:05 P.M. I went out in the pouring rain, and I drove downtown. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I used the bathroom at Starbucks. I stopped by CVS on the way up Greenwich Avenue, and I toured the store. At the top of Greenwich Avenue underneath the covered canopy at the Chase Plaza, I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone. I walked back down Greenwich Avenue. I then drove over to CVS. I used the bathroom at CVS. I bought three 11 ounce bags of Gold Emblem potato chips for $5 all. They were on sale last week, but since they still had the sale sticker up on the shelf, they gave me the sale price. I then bought four Xtra 45 ounce 2X Tropical Passion Detergent for $1.49 each and .38 tax for $6.34 total. I then drove over the Stop and Shop. I chatted with a local EMT and a local lawyer who told me New York City lawyers can cost $750 an hour. I told him a little bit about what I knew about New York City law which is quite complex. I chatted with another regular late night regular about down south. I bought a container of six day old sconces for $2, two 8 ounce boxes of Nabisco cheese nips for $1 each, a two pound bag of baby carrots for $2.50, broccoli crowns for $1.49 a pound for $1.16, a head of Cello Foxy iceberg lettuce for $1.99 for $9.65 total. I then returned home. They are still removing the asphalt from West Putnam Avenue from Weaver Street all of the way over to Valley Road, so there is only one lane going each way. I told a neighbor about the skunk in the area. CIO Note: <888> 09/28/11 Wednesday 7:45 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I will now go downtown for some fresh air. CIO 8934 Note: <888> 09/28/11 Wednesday 7:20 P.M. I showered, and I cleaned up, and I put psoriasis cream on my feet and right hand palm. I threw out the garbage. I picked up the mail. CIO Note: <888> 09/28/11 Wednesday 6:20 P.M. I chatted with a friend. I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed.

I went to bed at 6:30 A.M. after reading for a while. I woke up at 8:30 A.M., when www.dell.com called me up about a tech newsletter. I went back to bed until 4 P.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk. It is raining outside, and I am afraid to go outside and walk in the rain in case I might melt. CIO Note: <888> 09/28/11 Wednesday 4:45 A.M. I ate a few day old muffin with a glass of water. I made up a Michael Louis Scott's Chef Salad , and I refrigerated it all in a large Rubbermaid container to have available to eat for the next couple of days. I will now shut down the primary computer, and I will go to bed soon, but I might read some before going to bed. Showers today and 70 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

CIO Note: <888> 09/27/11 Tuesday 9:55 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I finished the backup. Technically I could restore the backup to the first Dell Latitude D410 laptop, but I don't think that is necessary, since I also find the www.opensuse.org partition on it useful. As a computer geek that tests operating systems for 22 years or more, I have learned a thing or two. I will now make cigarettes. A lot has changed since DOS 2.0. I once drove over to the Egghead Software store clearance center across the Hudson River with Roger Schultz, and I bought a Canadian Desktop Publishing program for DOS and a Shareware Menu Program for DOS and a Utility Program for DOS. I can not remember the name of that town, but it is also where I bought some of my Acer LCD monitors from www.bestbuy.com . I think they were in the shopping center of Nanuet, New York. There was also a Railroad Salvage store in that mall complex. CIO Note: <888> 09/27/11 Tuesday 9:00 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I showered, and I cleaned up, and I put psoriasis cream on my feet and right hand palm. I threw out the garbage. I told a neighbor one of his car headlights were out. I picked up the mail. I am doing a Windows 8 Developer Complete PC backup of both XP Professional and Windows 8 Developer partitions on the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop computer to the Rosewill external hard drive. In Windows 8 Developer to find the Complete PC backup program, from the Desktop, one has to chose Control Panel, and then view the control panel as Icons, and then one finds the Complete PC backup program. I will now make cigarettes. CIO Note: <888> 09/27/11 Tuesday 7:20 P.M. I woke up at 3 P.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk. I chatted with two friends. I went back to bed until 6:45 P.M.. I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed. 8936 Andy Rooney exiting '60 Minutes' this Sunday - GreenwichTime Downtown Greenwich ranks third for priciest office space in North America GreenwichTime Well, I have an office on a bench on Greenwich Avenue, and I also have access to Starbucks, the Senior and the Arts center and the Greenwich Library, so I have a major business presence on Greenwich Avenue. I just can not figure out what my business is, since nobody chats with me very much because I smoke cigarettes. Maybe I know a few people in the tobacco business.

I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. Afternoon thunder showers today and 76 to 64 degrees Fahrenheit. CIO Note: <888> 09/27/11 Tuesday 5:10 A.M. In the United States of America, we have the Fuller Brush Company Products (Powered by CubeCart) . When I was building the garage apartment in 1982 and 1983 way out in Plandome Manor, Long Island, the Fuller Brushman showed up making his regular rounds to sell to Vivian West, and he looked like Bill Clinton, and a few years later he became President. I guess he was very popular out there. However, they don't sell a bottle cleaning brush. CIO Note: <888> 09/27/11 Tuesday 4:45 A.M. Here is the manufacture's page for the two bottle brushes that I bought Ultra washing up bottle brush - Ultra Washing Up - Ultra - Plastic Houseware & Brushware - Charles Bentley and Son Ltd . I guess there could be a market in America to sell these products Charles Bentley and Son Ltd . One could be like the British Fuller Brushman in America. CIO Note: <888> 09/27/11 Tuesday 4:20 A.M. I did some routine computer work. I ate a Kaiser roll with Smart Balance Spread and a glass of water. I worked with the Windows 8 Developer partition on the second Dell Latitude D410 laptop. I did some system configuration. It seems to be running fine. The systems seems to want to revert back to the Windows 8 Boot Manager which it does, but at the bottom of the boot manager page, there is a Boot Manager Options selection that gives an option to boot the Older Windows XP Professional Operating System on the C: drive. When that is booted the boot manager then changes back to the Windows XP boot manager with an option for Windows 8 Developer. If I have external IDE hard drive space, I might back it up when I have time. CIO Note: <888> 09/27/11 Tuesday 12:55 A.M.

CIO Note: <888> 09/26/11 Monday 10:45 P.M. I had a no person telephone call at 12:30 P.M. today. I finally woke up at 3:30 P.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk. I went downstairs, and I chatted with neighbors, and I picked up the mail. I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed. I showered, and I cleaned up, and I put foot fungus cream on my feet and right hand palm. I threw out the garbage. I went downtown, and I went by CVS, and I picked up a prescription for my foot psoriasis which is Mometasone Furoate Ointment USP 0.1% 45 grams. I bought two Crest ProHealth 7.8 ounce fluoride toothpaste whitening for $7.50 both and .48 tax for $7.98 total. I then went further downtown. I chatted briefly with a relative on my wireless telephone. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I stopped by Zen 8938 Stationary, and I bought an Aces High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. I sat out at various locations. On the way up Greenwich Avenue, I stopped by CVS again. I got my annual flu shot which my Medicaid program paid for. I had to fill out a form before getting it. I bought a 12 ounce bag of Gold Emblem chocolate chips cookies for $2.50 and a 12 ounce bag of Gold Emblem chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies for $2.50 for $5 total. I used the bathroom at CVS. At the top of Greenwich Avenue, I chatted with a local politician. I finished my walk. I sat out some more. I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought a six pack of day old Kaiser rolls for $1.50, a 16 ounce package of Smart Balance lite spread for $3.59, a 12 ounce Stouffer's lean cuisine sliced turkey dinner for $2.50 and a 12 ounce Stouffer's lean cuisine chicken Tuscan dinner for $2.50, two 1.75 McCormick's Perfect Pinch Italian seasoning for $2.50 each, a 2.25 ounce Stop and Shop oregano for $2.49, fresh bananas for .79 a pound for $1.81, a Vidalia onion for $1.49 a pound for $1.15 for $20.54 total. I then returned home. As I was pulling in my usual parking place there was a medium size skunk eating the grass in front of me about 20 feet, so I waited about five minutes until the skunk moved on before pulling into the parking place. Possibly having a skunk in the area would keep any wild cats from hanging out in the area. I then returned to my apartment. I chatted with a relative. I put away my groceries. I saw on www.foxnews.com today that 7 out of 10 people in the United States of America get some sort of government assistance. CIO Note: <888> 09/26/11 Monday 7:10 A.M. Hundreds turn out for Greenwich dog show GreenwichTime I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. Cloudy today and 79 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. My personal view of the United States of America is that we are more like Australia way out there in the middle of the ocean and we are merely an after thought to most of the people in the rest of the world. CIO Note: <888> 09/26/11 Monday 6:20 A.M. All I can find on the internet, if anyone needs to contact the Military Police in this area is this telephone list at www.usma.edu and the list is at http://www.usma.army.mil/pmo/phones.html . The outside number to contact them would be 1-845-938-3333 or 3312 for the MP Desk Sergeant. I called them about a civilian I have seen in this area driving something that looks like a Military Jeep, and they told me it is a local police matter. I have also seen a Red Cadillac with New York License Plate "USMC1" and a Connecticut license plate "NAVY", but when I chatted with the owner of that vehicle thinking it was a veteran, he thought Northrop Grumman Corporation - The Value of Performance was the Chinese theatre in California. Maybe, they don't feel like talking, or maybe they are actors, I don't know. I think the military now uses something like Ezpass for Military ID on vehicles. Of course, I use to know a family that could sell you one of these Navistar Defense , but it might not be too diplomatic around here in Greenwich, Connecticut. 8939 Of course, one of these might be more in your league International Harvester Pickup Truck | eBay . I think the one that I had on the Farm while at www.lfc.edu was a 1947 International Harvester Pickup truck, and it looked a little bit older than this International Harvester : L120 | eBay . As I recall, I sold it to the new renters at the Farm http://mikelouisscott.com/photo/mike-scott-the-farm-illinois-1970.jpg in 1971 for $10, because it had a hole in its engine block, but if they did not transfer ownership, I might still own it. CIO Note: <888> 09/26/11 Monday 5:35 A.M. I ate three scoops of Edy's French Silk ice cream. Well, there is not much going on in this neck of the woods of the extreme far South Western Connecticut. However, I know many other people elsewhere in Connecticut whom do not communicate with me much, since they regard this area as being mostly New Yorkers. Since we are legally part of Connecticut and not New York, although we watch a lot of New York media, legally New Yorkers with legal positions have no legal authority in Connecticut from my viewpoint. Since we also have military people in Connecticut whom are part of the Federal Government, such as in New London, Connecticut, they obviously would have some sort of funding and direction and instructions as to how to operate in this area. It happens to be in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States of America, that citizens do not have to surrender their residents for use by the military, and if the military were to use a private citizen's residence, they would have to pay the going rate for using that residence. Third Amendment to the United States Constitution Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia . CIO Note: <888> 09/26/11 Monday 4:45 A.M. I moved the smaller flags that were on the shelf of the center hallway bookcase, and I put most of them on top of the left hallway bookcase with the other smaller flags. I put the two small Swiss flags on the oak dining table facing the primary eating place in front of the computer speaker. Thus if we ever get rich enough, we might be eating some Swiss cheese. I ate a slice of cheese. Well, the World Wide Web started in Switzerland, if you did not know World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) . Both Switzerland and Sweden are neutral countries, the Vatican: the Holy See is an observer to the www.un.org and United Nations member States - Non-member state maintaining observer mission . The list of members is here United Nations Member States . I know Austria and Thailand are neutral countries. CIO Note: <888> 09/26/11 Monday 4:10 A.M. With all of the www.un.org activity such as Prime Minister David Cameron speech on Arab Spring to United Nations , I thought I would make my apartment more diplomatic. I fixed the picture frame on the upper right of the bathroom sink with the pictures of the various Royalty, since some of them had become crooked, since the Scotch tape had worn out. I moved the small Scottish Cross of St. Andrews on the left side the Cablevision box with the small Florida flag behind it, and on the right side of the Cablevision box, the small Dutch tricolor flag with the small U.S.A. flag behind it. Then over the right hallway bookcase, I put the extra large Scottish Cross of St. Andrews flag with the extra large British Union Jack flag over that. Over the left hallway bookcase, I put the large www.airforce.mil flag, then the large Saudi Arabian flag 8940 over that, and then the large Bermuda flag over that, with the large Swedish flag over that, with the large British Union Jack flag over that, and finally on top in front the large Dutch Tricolor flag. Thus I have the more diplomatic setup in my apartment that has existed during the colder weather for many years. Not that anyone ever visits me, particularly having the apartment probably infected with Foot Fungus, but it does not hurt to be prepared. I ate a corn muffin.

I threw out the garbage after the last note. I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. There were only a few people at the Thataway cafe. There was one web surfer outside at Starbucks. I sat out at various locations. There were also a few people at McDuffs and a few people at the Barcelona cafe. After my walk, I drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road. There was one couple there on a motorcycle. The Seafair is no longer at the Delamar Hotel. There are a few other smaller pleasure craft there. I stopped by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $11.01 of self service V-Power gasoline for 2.561 gallons at $4.299 a gallon at odometer reading of 69097 miles for 31.6 miles driving since Sunday September 18, 2011 for 12.339 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic. I chatted with the regular night time clerk. They are working on removing the asphalt down the hill west of Vinci Drive. Part of the road is blocked off. When I drove into Vinci Drive, there were four police cars and shortly thereafter a fire truck at one of the family units. I am not sure what the problem was.

I need them for cleaning my Rubbermaid quart containers that I keep milk in. It is hard to find a bottle brush with a long handle. I guess that is all I need from England unless they can spare a few fivers. CIO Note: <888> 09/25/11 Sunday 8:25 P.M. I chatted briefly with a relative. I watched the www.cbsnews.com program "60 Minutes" about the increased security in New York City. I just chatted with the same relative again. CIO Note: <888> 09/25/11 Sunday 7:05 P.M. Local Market Research | Demographic Information | Scarborough called up to make sure that I sent in both surveys, which I did. It says here Population of Scotland | Statistics of Scottish City Population | The Official Gateway to Scotland , there are 5.2 million people in Scotland, so since there are 7 billion people on the planet, and if one divides 7 billion by 5.2 million, one in every 1346.159 people is Scottish, so in a mixed population like the New York City area, one has to see a lot of people from around the world, for every Scottish person that one sees. CIO Note: <888> 09/25/11 Sunday 6:35 P.M. Back in the "Good Old Days" when gasoline was less than $2.50 a gallon, I used to drive up to New Canaan, Connecticut once a month via the Merritt Parkway, and I would tour the quaint downtown area of New Canaan. Next to the fire station, there was the Visiting Nurse thrift shop. There use to be two CVS stores in downtown New Canaan as well as a Starbucks next to the New Canaan train station. I guess with the higher prices of gasoline, the New Canaan people feel really isolated in their remote village environment. At least in Greenwich, we get to see a lot of visitors off I-95 and out on the train from Manhattan. Thus Greenwich is better for people watching, but people watching does not pay the bills. Manhattan is good for people watching, but at $20 for a round trip train ride into Manhattan, I do not need to see that many people. CIO Note: <888> 09/25/11 Sunday 6:15 P.M.

I am still six feet tall, and I currently weigh 222 pounds, so I have put on about a hundred pounds, since I graduated from Taft. I am afraid if showed up at any alumni functions, they might not recognize me at the greater weight. I will now send out my weekly notes.

Not to much ever happens around here, when I am on a night schedule, and I simply keep busy working on the computers. Of course way over in the Eastern Hemisphere, they are awake and going at full steam, so they might be making news over there while we snooze here. From what I know in all my visits to Europe, there are not too many people awake there at night either. I think in England all of the pubs still have to close at 11 A.M., so they are mostly daytime people over there. It is very peaceful on a night schedule, and not too much really happens to distract one from one's night time activity. Of course I get out for early evening 8944 walks, so I get to see a few people ending their days. With all of the traffic on I-95 there are always people driving through this area 24 hours a day. New York City has a lot of people awake at night, since at night when it is less crowded, they are able to do a lot of the maintenance and also the trucks can more easily make deliveries. Obviously there are a lot of cleaning personnel working at night. Obviously the hospital are opened 24 hours, so there is always somebody awake there. However, I got to be on a night schedule gradually evolved, since nobody ever wanted to hire me in the daytimes, and I got use to the more peaceful routines at night. Even in college at www.lfc.edu I had a lot of afternoon classes, so I would be up into the early morning hours studying and working. When I was with out a home in Florida, I was forced to be on a daytime schedule, but I would frequently sleep on the beach in the daytime and wander around at night until I became worn out. In Nantucket, I usually did not get out of the restaurants until 4 A.M. in the morning, so I obviously was not awake that much in the daytime besides sleeping on the beach occasionally. In Russia everything is opened 24 hours a day 7 days a week, so there are more people whom work at night. Also in the winter in the northern part of the world, the day light hours are short. I guess it is my Scottish heritage that makes me more of a night person, since Scotland is way up north. I guess when the Scott family first came to America, they were probably wandering around at night trying to avoid the Indians. The Scott family used to have two farms in Manhattan until 1700, and part of their property became the Jay family property, when one of their daughters married into the Jay family. The Scott family until 1700 also owned all of Long Island. The Scott family also had land grants in Virginia, so obviously they were established quite early during the English arrival to America. Whether any of the family members have managed to hang on to any large parcels of property is opened to debate, since I am such a public person here, nobody in the family would tell me anything that might disturb their more private lives. Obviously when somebody named Scott produced paper, there might have been some forests behind them to produce the timber to produce the paper. I know there are a lot of Scott family members up in Canada, so maybe the larger members of the family have expanded into the Canada, when the lower 48 states got to be too crowded as if there were not enough room in the Midwest or Upper Midwest. The way I figure it after 400 years, there are probably a half million to a million descendants of the Scott family around the country, so they seem to be a rather quiet family that nobody hears too much about. Probably a lot of them still live in more rural areas, and thus they do not draw much national attention. The richest Scott family member that I know about is Chester Scott, and he was from Omaha, Nebraska, and he was Warren Buffet's original partner. Scott is also the family name of the Marquis of Queensbury's family in England, and since their title of nobility is the highest title outside the immediate Royal family, they might possibly also have some money.

CIO Note: <888> 09/23/11 Friday 6:15 P.M. I chatted with a friend briefly. It is raining outside, so there is not much to do. I could always go by the Greenwich Library and see whom came out of the rain, but most people there do not feel like networking with older computer nerds. Besides if I go out in the rain, I might melt. I noticed on the television station around 105 that the BBC program "Dr. Who" is on. It is sort of a weird British television program. Possibly with all of the diplomats that showed up in Manhattan for the www.un.org activity, we might have gotten some British visitors. Last night I did see a Person of Color downtown wearing a diplomats clothes, so possibly there are other diplomats around. Nobody communicates with me, basically because they are not too interested in my viewpoint on technology and how I use it. I think the traveling public only networks with other people whom are traveling, and they do not find static individuals too interesting. There might be some people stuck inside at Starbucks on Greenwich Avenue because of the rain. I do have umbrellas, so I always have the option of walking in the rain, but the rain is not that user friendly to my arthritis. I will now wash the breakfast dishes, and I will make my bed. At my age of 61, I am not encouraged to try to network in the local pubs. CIO Note: <888> 09/23/11 Friday 5:25 P.M. I went back to sleep until just now.

I do have an older friend close to 70 years old whose father once belonged to the Camp Fire Club near Mount Kisco, New York, which was the gun club that Teddie Roosevelt belonged to. I also was shot at here in Greenwich, Connecticut at Tod's Point about 10 years ago by a sniper, so obviously somebody in this area still has guns. CIO Note: <888> 09/20/11 Tuesday 7:45 P.M.

On my primary work computer, Internet Explorer 8, when I used this page Michael Louis Scott's Bottom Fishing Links kept reloading the www.chase.com site when I came back to it from the other links on the page. Two days ago, I tried installing Internet Explorer 9, but it would not work at all on my computer. I uninstalled it back to Internet Explorer 8. This afternoon to fix the problem, I restored the Complete PC backup from August 21, 2011 of both partitions from the third internal hard drive. I then copied the few changed files back to the primary drive, and I installed the Windows and McAfee updates. Thus I no longer have that problem, and the system seems to be running just fine. Internet Explorer 9 did not work on that earlier configuration either. One Windows 8 Developer partition on the bedroom Dell Latitude 4600i computer, I tried the Windows 7 method listed by "djassa1", SC101 and Windows 7 - NETGEAR Forums , but the software would not install. When I tried to do a Safe Boot in Windows 8 Developer, it booted the Windows 8 Developer boot screen with only the Windows XP option to boot. When I rebooted again, the multiple boot option was no longer there either, so I used the Windows 7 DVD Repair option to repair the multiple boot option on the Dell Latitude 4600i computer. In Beta testing everything is not suppose to work, since it is just a beta, so it can be all quite frustrating. Still the Windows 8 Developer edition seems to be stable, and work quite well for web browsing and minor programs. In restoring the backup, I lost all of yesterday's email.

On the Dell Latitude 4100i desktop computer Windows 8 Developer partition, I installed the Lexmark E238 laser printer with its install program in XP3 mode as an administrator with LPT1 port. I then installed Netgear Print Server FR114P driver in XP3 mode as an administrator. I then changed the Lexmark E238 laser printer port to the FR114P Printer Server port. Thus I have Windows 8 Developer working on the print server network connected to the Lexmark E238 laser printer.

On the Dell Latitude 4600i computer, I am doing a Windows 8 Developer Complete PC backup of both partitions which includes the Windows XP Professional partition to the Western Digital external hard drive. Windows 8 Developer is a pretty good free beta operating system, if one can not afford to buy one, but it takes a bit getting use to with the different interface.

We then went by the Art Yacht Greenwich art show sets sail GreenwichTime , and we toured the Art Exhibit.

I installed Windows 8 Developer 32 bit on the Dell Latitude 4100i desktop computer in a second partition on the first hard drive. It gave an error that the drive might be failing, since it is a refurbished hard drive I bought from www.newegg.com about six months ago, but it still installed on the second partition. When I rebooted the Windows XP Professional was not in the Windows 8 boot manager. However, I was able to figure out a fix. I installed EasyBCD 2.0.2 which is free on the lower right hand side of the page here Download EasyBCD 2.1 - NeoSmart Technologies on the Windows 8 setup. One has to wait for Windows 8 Developer to install and update automatically before using EasyBCD 2.0.2. I then from the Edit Boot Menu option in EasyBCD, I changed the default from Windows 8 Developer to Windows XP. I then rebooted, but XP came up in the boot menu without Windows 8 option. I was able to fix that by booting the Windows 7 DVD, and selecting the repair option which installed the Windows 8 boot option to the boot manager. Thus now both Windows 8 and Windows XP can be booted from the same computer. Since the Windows 7 DVD repair option is similar the Vista repair option, a Vista CD boot and repair might also work. I chatted with a friend earlier. CIO Note: <888> 09/15/11 Thursday 7:25 P.M.

On the second IBM ThinkCentre on the blue night stand in the living room, the Logitech USB headset microphone would not work, so I took it off, and I put my spare new Logitech USB headset on it. Windows 8 Developer edition caused product activation to come up on the primary partition, so I restored my Complete PC backup, and thus the second IBM ThinkCentre is the way it was before I installed the Windows 8 Developer beta. I put two new AA alkaline batteries in the Logitech wireless keyboard on the Dell Latitude 4600i computer in the bedroom. I then did a quick low level format of it with the Seagate Utilities to remove OpenSUSE Linux partitions and XP Professional. I am now restoring 8961 the XP Professional partition with the Paragon Backup Utilities which will be 40 gigabytes on a 80 gigabyte hard drive, and then I will put the Windows 8 developer beta on it. The audio card on it is a Creative Live PCI audio card which might not work with Windows 8, but its headset should work. It has two monitors which might be useful for the Windows 8 developer edition with all of its sub windows and desktops. CIO Note: <888> 09/15/11 Thursday 5:00 P.M.

I went downtown to CVS. The new CVS on West Putnam Avenue at Hollyhill Lane is just about complete, but it looks like they still have to do some interior finishing. I bought a 7 ounce CVS moisturizing shave gel for $2.87 and .18 tax for $3.05 total. I also picked up a prescription. I then went further downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. I tried to use the bathroom at Starbucks, but it was busy. There was a party going on at the Greenwich Tobacco shop next door. I then went by the Greenwich Library: Welcome , I chatted with a few reference librarians. I checked out the book that I had reserved Amazon.com: Eruptions that Shook the World (9780521641128): Clive Oppenheimer: Books . I then returned home to my home office.

The FIC server was running poorly, so I restored the Complete PC backup from July 30, 2011. However, the latest version of McAfee Internet Security 2011 two year license copy was not on the backup, so I had to reinstall it. I am now doing a Complete PC backup to the second hard drive. I then will do a Complete PC backup to the Seagate external hard drive. CIO Note: <888> 09/14/11 Wednesday 2:40 P.M. I have been watching the Microsoft Developers conference. I washed the breakfast dishes, and I made my bed. I threw out some boxes that various items came with along with the other garbage. I let the mail person use my WD-40 to lubricate the mail box locks in the mail room downstairs. I chatted with a neighbor. I picked up the mail, and the order with tracking of UPS: Tracking Information for JCPenney : Levi's® Messenger Bag for $19.99 less 10% off with coupon code "RMNAFF10" for $17.99 and $5.99 shipping and handling and $1.52 tax for $25.50 total arrived.

I chatted with two relatives. I got the SIIG audio card working on the second IBM ThinkCentre with the Windows 8 Developers preview by installing the Windows 7 drivers. 8964 !!!!!! Starting in about 6 minutes Home - BUILD | September 13 - 16, 2011 | Anaheim Convention Center CIO Note: <888> 09/14/11 Wednesday 12:25 A.M. I downloaded the 32 bit version of the Windows 8 Developers preview, and I burned two copies to DVD. I installed it on the second IBM ThinkCentre on the blue night stand in the living room on a second partition. It works just great, but it is an entirely new experience. One needs to use the Windows Key to bring up the desktop when one changes to one of the other sub desktops. On my computer setup, the Logitech USB headset works, but the SIIG audio card does not work. I could try running the speakers off the IBM ThinkCentre Audio Jack, so I might try that later. The default video is too large on my system, so I went to a higher resolution. To Shut Down, one has to Log Off, and then bring up the Log On Screen with the Windows Key, and then select shut down or restart. The Developers Edition contains Internet Explorer 10. Basically it is an entirely new user experience. Of course, it is just the first public release, so it has another year to go in development, so it might change a bit. One can not uninstall it, so if one wants to return to just the original setup, one has to be able to restore a backup of one's original setup. The multiple boot option has a screen that looks like it might be hard to repair, if one simply deleted the Windows 8 partition. I am a bit tired, so I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. Isolated thunderstorms today and 82 to 62 degrees Fahrenheit. CIO !!!!!!

CIO Note: <888> 09/12/11 Monday 11:15 P.M. I used four of the twelve screws to hold the Schumacher jump start case together. I left it on charge to get a little extra juice in it. I will disconnect it tomorrow. I threw out the garbage. I put my wrench kit back in the trunk of the Audi. I noticed on my front door pass card, if one rubs both sides of the far end of the pass card while swiping it, it works. CIO Note: <888> 09/12/11 Monday 10:25 P.M. I made up a batch of Rothschild stew, and I ate one third, and I refrigerated two thirds in a Rubbermaid container. I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Sierra Mist all natural lemon lime soda. I also made up a fresh batch of punch. The Schumacher battery will only take a 59% charge. I will now reinstall it in the Schumacher jump start system, and see if it works at all, and if its display lights work properly. It might be useful for emergency light.

CIO 8967 Note: <888> 09/12/11 Monday 9:00 P.M. I restarted the battery charger, and it went into "desulfation mode" for about 15 minutes, and it is now charging regularly, and it is about 45% charged. CIO Note: <888> 09/12/11 Monday 8:30 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I opened up the Schumacher Instant Power PX-400-3A jump start system with the 12 inch Philips screw driver, and I removed the 12 volt 18 Ah battery. I connected the battery up to my 12 Volt Schumacher battery charger, and I set it for a small battery or 2 AMP. It showed that it was 15% charged a half hour ago, and it is now 61% charged, so it seems to me there is nothing wrong with the battery since it is taking a charge, but it is something wrong with the Schumacher jump start system. Once the battery is fully charged, I will put it back in the jump start system to see if it possibly works. If it does not work, I could always use the battery with jumper cables that I have for a jump start without using the jump start system case. CIO Note: <888> 09/12/11 Monday 7:05 P.M.

Not too much really ever happens in Greenwich, Connecticut; because a lot of people need to rest out here after all of the strenuous activity in New York City. Of course we always get a lot of people driving through town due to our high traffic location 20 miles east of Manhattan. CIO Note: <888> 09/12/11 Monday 8:15 A.M. I was up at 7 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk. Not much to report from this past summer, since I was stuck inside a great deal of the time with Foot Fungus. I did read reports about two different Mountain Lions being spotted in Greenwich, Connecticut, and I also saw a baby black panther outside of my building, so perhaps it is better to be on a day schedule because of all the wild cats around. I figure all of the rich people will be downtown today, because the private Country Clubs are closed Mondays.

Scattered thunderstorms today and 72 to 61 degrees Fahrenheit. On "911" ten years ago, I had been up all night, and as I recall I went to bed about 6:30 A.M.. A relative called me up, when the first jet hit the World Trade Center, and I started watching the news on television. As a recall, a friend showed up about three hours later, and advised me to stay inside instead of driving over to Tod's Point to see what I could 8970 see. As I recall, I did not go out for the next few days. A neighbor told me that the air cover being provided was being provided by NATO.

I sat out at various locations. On the way up Greenwich Avenue, I witnessed the Greenwich Police arresting a male suspect at Bitteridge Jewelers. I toured CVS, and I told a couple of people about it. On the way further up Greenwich Avenue, I saw a heavy female individual of the same ethnic back ground as the Bitteridge Jewelers suspect on a two seater motorcycle in front of the People's Bank, so possibly that was the get away vehicle, but the Greenwich Police did not interview the individual. I told a couple of more people about the incident on the way down Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone. I used the bathroom at Starbucks. I chatted with a Starbucks regular. I chatted with a couple more dog walkers.

I threw out the garbage after the last note. I chatted with a neighbor. I went downtown to Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out for a while. I gave someone from Chappaqua, New York four quarters for a dollar. I chatted with the person about SAABs. I then went to my 1:30 P.M. appointment. They are going to install a new 20 foot diameter revolving door on the front entrance of the Greenwich Hospital. I then drove over to Staples in Old Greenwich, and I bought Logitech C210 Webcam | Staples® for $9.99 and a Allsop Metal Art Jr. Monitor Stand | Staples® for $4.50 and .92 tax for $15.41 total. One of the cashiers there has a name similar to mine. I then went to Old Greenwich, and I toured the Rummage Room Thrift shop which has lots of new items. I also toured CVS and Feinstod Hardware. I then drove out to the southwest picnic area at Tod's Point, and I sat out enjoying the view of Long Island Sound. There were a few sailboats out and one old vintage yacht. I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone. There were a lot of pink shells piled up at the windsurfing area. I noticed one large tree was down in the southeast parking area. I used the bathroom at the southeast concession area. One long time Tod's Point regular was swimming. It was not very busy. I then drove over to the Radio Shack in Cos Cob. I bought a Memorex DVD Upconverting MVD2047 Memorex MVD2047 Review - DVD Players - CNET Reviews for 60% off for $19.99 and a one year replacement warranty for $2.99 and $1.46 tax for $24.44 total. I then toured CVS. I stopped by the Brownstein Optometrist there, and I told them I would try to make it in for an appointment, when I have the time. I stopped by the Cos Cob liquor store, and I mentioned Rothschild wine. I then went back down to Greenwich Avenue. They were just clearing out some sort of boat show from the central part of Greenwich Avenue. I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone.

The front door pass card is not working for some of my other neighbors, so maybe there is something wrong with the front door pass card mechanism. I put away the groceries. I hooked up the Memorex DVD player on top of the Panasonic television on top of the Sony television in the living room and underneath the Cable Box. I used longer cables that I had to connect it to the Sony television front panel audio and video. I connected the video with a Y Splitter, so one either plug in the DVD or Internet on Video 2 of the Sony television. It works just fine. The Memorex DVD remote control is on the table with the other remotes. I left the box and instructions on the Harvard Char to the right of the TV setup. I put the CPU stand underneath the third IBM ThinkCentre on the right side of the living room desk. Thus the keyboard now fits underneath it. I stored the new Logitech web cam underneath the stereo system for now. I hooked up one of the gold DVD video cables to the Dell Latitude D4100 desktop in the bedroom connected to the Dell FP2000 monitor. Thus when one turns that system on now, one has to selected the second video setting 2DVI-D from the third button from the right on the Dell FP2000 monitor. CIO Note: <888> 09/08/11 Thursday 12:15 P.M. I will now go out for my 1:30 P.M. appointment. CIO Note: <888> 09/08/11 Thursday 11:40 A.M. I ate a 14 ounce Stouffer's shrimp scampi meal with a 12 ounce glass of diet www.coke.com . Basically if one wants to lose weight, all one has to do is to eat less. However, way up here up north in the artic tundra of New England, it helps to have a bit of body fat in the winter, where as one can stay skinnier in the warmer climates down south. Since I have lived up north most of my life, but I also have lived down south, where I have relatives, I try to see both sides of the Mason Dixon line. Obviously they might produce a bit of food down south, when there are not droughts. I guess with so many people in America working cyberspace trying to get ahead, people forget about what is in their own back yard, which is in my case in the winter is a ice skating rink, which does not do much good in keeping food on the table. Of course, when I lived in Key West, Florida during the winters of 1976 through 1978, I was left eating not too much food, because the tourists eat all of the food, and I lived on meager rations of peanut butter and Cuban bread. It seems in the winter, I can afford more food up north, so I look a bit heavier at 220 pounds, but a lot of the food I eat is starch such as rice and oatmeal, so it is not necessarily that much energy producing. Most people men I know around here and a lot of the women, tend to eat more food than I do, so they can afford to be more physically active. Since working on the computers and the internet does not take as much physical energy but more mental energy, I manage to get by. I try not to spend too much money on gasoline, since I can order a lot of what I need off the internet, which is cheaper than driving around to neighboring communities, where certain items might be available at a cheaper price. The "Old Guard" around here tend to have good pensions and more assets, which I do not have, so I am still living like a refugee in America, although the Scott family have been here for over 400 years. Maybe instead of drinking www.coke.com or www.pepsi.com , I could try drinking some Virginia bourbon, which would give me more courage, and I could start ordering people around base on what I 8976 know as opposed to what they know. I will now shower and clean up and put foot fungus cream on my feet. CIO Note: <888> 09/08/11 Thursday 10:35 A.M.

As I was walking up Greenwich Avenue by the Greenwich Post Office, a cranberry color Toyota Land Cruiser type vehicle came up Arch Street and made a right turn down Greenwich Avenue without stopping. It hit a turquoise color 4 door sedan Nissan with Maryland License Plates knocking off its rear bumper. The four wheel drive vehicle did not stop, but I could see it stop down at the bottom of Greenwich Avenue on the left side by the Thataway restaurant. I called 911 on my wireless telephone, and they took my wireless number, and the Greenwich Police called me up. They sent two patrol cars, and one checked out where the four wheel drive vehicle had been parked, but it had left by that time.

I noticed while walking Greenwich Avenue none of the pubs were busy on lower Greenwich Avenue, but the Barcelona cafe was quite busy just west of the top of Greenwich Avenue. When I made it up to the top of Greenwich Avenue, I walked around the parking areas of the Barcelona Cafe, but there were only three red SUV vehicles in the parking areas, and none of them had any front end damage on the passenger side. I then walked back down Greenwich Avenue, and I told the officer investigating the hit and run by the post office that I had not seen the cranberry color Toyota style land cruiser. I then walked lower Greenwich Avenue and the train station area again. I did not see any debris where the four wheel drive vehicle had parked after the hit and run. While walking back up Greenwich Avenue, I ran into the driver of the vehicle that was hit, and as the Greenwich Police had told me, he told me it was a Hertz rent a car. The police had left. I helped remove the plastic rear bumper that was lying on the street, and I put it in back seat of the Nissan. While I was talking with the Hertz rent a car driver, and a white sub compact sedan came down Greenwich Avenue, and we heard it side swipe the rear of a green Ford Explorer parked across the street from the Sun Down Saloon. We both walked down to make sure it was another incident, and there was a white side view mirror from the white sub compact lying in the street and there was white paint across the back of the green Ford Explorer. I called 911 again, and we started walking back up Greenwich Avenue, and about half way to the other car, the same police officer showed up again. We walked back down to the green Ford Explorer, and gave the police officer the information. We then walked back up to the Nissan, and the same police officer showed up to take the information down from the driver of the Nissan. I had already given the police my telephone number and identification. I then sat out for a while by my Audi worrying that it might not be safe to drive home. I waited until after 2 P.M., when the pubs were closed. I then headed back home. I stopped by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $9.01 of self service V-power premium gasoline for $4.499 a gallon for 2.003 gallons for 27 miles driving since Monday August 29, 2011 at odometer reading of 68965 miles for 13.48 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic. I then returned home. I will now eat the remaining linguine and tomato meat sauce with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a 12 ounce glass of Sierra Mist all natural lemon lime soda and a cup of green tea with splenda and lemon juice. CIO Note: <888> 09/03/11 Saturday 11:40 P.M. I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. I showered, and I cleaned up. I threw out the garbage. My front door pass card does 8984 not work, so I will have to order another one this Tuesday. I can use my key on the side door. I picked up the mail. I got my www.geico.com insurance card for the policy which starts October 8, 2011. I will put one copy in the Audi glove box. I will not make a payment on the policy until October 1, 2011. I emptied the paper shredder in the bedroom. I oil it by putting some of the paper shredder lubricant on two sheets of paper and running it through the paper shredder. I will now go downtown for a walk. It is clear tonight, and it is suppose to be mostly clear tomorrow night. CIO Note: <888> 09/03/11 Saturday 10:00 P.M. I woke up at 8 P.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with splenda sweetener and milk. I chatted with a relative. CIO Note: <888> 09/03/11 Saturday 10:25 A.M. I ate three scrambled eggs, four strips of fried bacon, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance Spread, and a 12 ounce glass of Sierra Mist lemon lime soda and a dozen small oatmeal cookies. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. Isolated thunderstorms today and 82 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. CIO Note: <888> 09/03/11 Saturday 8:45 A.M. I went out to the Far East of downtown Greenwich Avenue, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. The train station bathrooms do not open until 7 A.M. Starbucks opened at 6 A.M.. They now have tables and chairs outside on the north side of Starbucks, and I assume one could smoke there. I used the Port-O-Potty at the Town Hall running track before Starbucks opened. I sat out at various locations. I chatted with a friend on my wireless telephone. He is going fishing for Porgies. I went to the A&P Fresh at 7 A.M., and I bought a 33 ounce bag of Eight O'clock hazelnut coffee beans for $16.99, two 18 ounce Stouffer's five cheese lasagnas for $2 each, two Stouffer's 14 ounce shrimp scampi for $2 each, two Stouffer's 13 ounce sesame chicken for $2 each for $28.99 total. I then went to the Stop and Shop, and I bought a 16 ounce package of Smart Balance Lite spread for $3.29, a 24 ounce bar of Stop and Shop Monterey Jack cheese for $4.99, a 1.5 quart container of Edy's lite French Silk ice cream for $2.50, a quart jar of B&G kosher pickle spears for $2.99, two 12 ounce generic honey for $2.25 each, a 8 ounce Kraft Parmesan and Romano cheese for $3.99, two 48 ounce Quaker old fashioned oatmeal for $4.99 each, a 10 ounce bottle of Kikkoman soy sauce for $2.29, and a Vidalia onion for $1.49 a pound for $1.18 for $35.71 total. The Stop and Shop does not let one return cans until 8 A.M. or after 8:30 P.M., which seems sort of odd. I then returned home. I used my folding wire cart to bring up the groceries. I put them away. My actual www.cl-p.com electricity bill for August 2011 was $235.77 for 1450 kWh for 29 days and 50 kWh per day with an average temperature of 73.2 degrees Fahrenheit. For August 2010, it was $271.62 for 1529 kWh for 30 days and 50.97 kWh per day with an average temperature of 74.6 degrees Fahrenheit. CIO 8985 Note: <888> 09/03/11 Saturday 4:50 A.M.

CIO Note: <888> 09/03/11 Saturday 1:30 A.M. The Schumacher Instant Power PX-400-3A jump start system never worked too well. It would lose its charge fast, and I might have overcharged it over the years by leaving it plugged in all of the time, so I will not be replacing its battery. 8986 I have a Slaymaker Jump Start System for years that I have replaced the battery on twice, and it is like this 12 Volt Power Supply and Jump-Start , and it has always worked and still shows a full charge, and I leave it plugged in all of the time, so I will rely on it this winter in case I need to jump start the Audi. Since gasoline is very expensive at about $4.50 a gallon, I frequently do not drive far enough in the winter to keep the battery in the Audi fully charged, so on a cold winter's day, it might not be fully charged. I have a battery charger, so I technically could take the battery out, and charge it up inside, if it were not powerful enough. If one looks at 1998 Audi A6 owned by Michael Scott , it notes that I put in a new battery in the Audi on November 5, 2008, so it is now almost three years old. I paid $90 for it at www.autozone.com . Thus if the battery should be weak this winter, it would be smarter to buy a new battery for the Audi. According to this a Duralast Gold battery would be $130 and standard Duralast battery would be $110 Battery | 1998 Audi A6 6 Cylinders A 2.8L SFI | AutoZone.com .

Back in 1968 to 1972, when I worked at www.polaroid.com and jobs in Lake Forest, Illinois while attending www.lfc.edu , I usually made over $200 a 40 hour week. In that period gold "AU" was $32 an ounce, so I was earning 6.25 ounces of Gold a week. Today Gold is worth Gold Price $1,715.07 an ounce. Thus today for a 40 hour week, I should be earning 8992 $10,719.19 a week or $557,397.75 a year or $267.98 an hour. Thus it goes to show in the real world of economics, they do not adjust for inflation or the real value of money. In other words, most of the policy makers are just CHEAP.

Black ice a threat this morning - GreenwichTime Greenwich Avenue post office sells for $15M - GreenwichTime CIO Note: <888> 10/31/11 Monday 6:30 A.M. I ate a bowl of white Cheez-its. I ate a 9 ounce package of four cheese hot pockets and a 12 ounce glass of A&W diet root beer. I put the three fans that were out in the apartment for the summer on the far right window shelf. I turned the living room heat up to 76 degrees Fahrenheit which should make the living room 70 degrees Fahrenheit and dryer. I turned the bedroom heat up to 70 degrees Fahrenheit which makes the bedroom 64 degrees Fahrenheit. I turned on the tower fan on the center living room window shelf to blow around the living room heat. I put one comforter on the back of the Ethan Allen recliner to have available. I put another comforter over the back of the chair in front of the second IBM ThinkCentre. I put out the two www.army.mil sleeping bags good to minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit in front of the www.harvard.edu chair to the right of the living room Sony television. I put one DeLonghi oil filled radiator behind the primary work computer chair, and I put the second DeLongi oil filled radiator along side the Ionic Pro air purifier in front of the mahogany bureau in the living room. I thus have the apartment prepared for any extreme cold weather events that we might experience this winter. It is currently 30.9 degrees outside and 65 degrees by the windows in the living room and 72 degrees further out into the living room. I put the breakfast tray with the winter knit caps, and gloves and mittens and scarves on the seat of the Harvard Chair. Remember, if one ever wanted to go to Harvard University, it is a lot colder up in Cambridge, Massachusetts than here in Greenwich, Connecticut. CIO Note: <888> 10/31/11 Monday 5:00 A.M. I read earlier that Nantucket www.nantucket.net got hit with 65 mile per hour winds in the storm. A lot of the big old trees in downtown Nantucket are in sandy soil, so there might have been some tree damage in Nantucket. There were a lot of short Asians in the Stop and Shop yesterday Sunday, so possibly they are without electricity somewhere in town. The Maria Callendar dinners are on sale at the Stop and Shop for $2.50. I suppose a lot of the back country people do not have electricity, so they are probably going back to their apartments in Manhattan. 8993 I have two appointments this week, but they could be cancelled, and I could stay on a night schedule. I know the older generation like to monopolize the downtown area during the warmer weather, but at age 61, I am no spring chicken. I have not been to Nantucket, since the summer of 1987 or 1988, when I stayed with a friend at the Harbor House for a weekend. I only recognized one person who was a Taft School classmate I think from Princeton, New Jersey. Of course I tend to be somewhat myopic, and a lot of people that I should recognize are so private that one does not see them very often. I also see a lot of other people that look like other people, so it is hard to tell the well known people from the more private people. Of course most people have relatives that tend to look like them too. Today is Halloween, and it was on Halloween in 1976 that I first showed up in Key West, Florida Live Duval Street Web Cam in Key West, Florida :: Sloppy Joe's Bar :: with somebody from New Haven, Connecticut whose father worked for John Hancock Insurance, and the individual I met in Fort Lauderdale earlier, when the King of Norway was down there on vacation after the Tall Ships in New York Harbor during the summer of 1976. When Norwegians show up on vacation, it tends to get colder, and by Thanksgiving Day in 1976, it was 21 degrees Fahrenheit at 7 A.M. in the morning at the electric bank sign next to the Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Obscure fact of my mother's Bovan family is that one of the contractors of the Swimming Hall of Fame was a Boven. Alas, I was never too good of a swimmer, since I don't like keeping my head in the water and at 220 pounds, I would be afraid to go near the water. I forgot to mention in my note last night also during the summer of 1972, I drove up from Lake Forest, Illinois with Hurley Haywood to the Whitneys in Wayzata, Minnesota, and I went to a Cam Am automobile race. They let me drive a yellow Ferrari back from the race, they had to transport, so I guess I was running around with Fast Company in the Midwest. The last time I visited California on my last trip was during the fall of 1980, and I traveled out there with a friend by land, and I sold the Volvo with a bad clutch the week after election day, when Ronald Reagan was elected to come back east to be part of the republican majority in power, only to end up being evicted by the democrats from the apartment I shared in Manhattan during February 1982, when it was minus 26 degrees Fahrenheit in Manhattan. So democrats tend to play bad jokes on republicans, if you let your guard down. I try to be diplomatic, but I have learned from experience to stand up for my rights. CIO Note: <888> 10/31/11 Monday 4:05 A.M. I cancelled the order for Newegg.com Panasonic 1300 Watts Family-Size 1.2 cu. ft. Microwave Oven NN-SN667W Sensor Cook White for $99.99 with free shipping. The way I figure it, since I also have the $500 Sharp Convection microwave oven, if the nine year old General Electric 1.2 cubic foot microwave oven should fail, I can use the Sharp Convection microwave oven until the General Electric microwave oven is replaced. 8994 I removed the new Farberware convection oven on top of the General Electric microwave oven from the kitchen, and I put it in the bedroom closet underneath the RYO tobacco products. I cleaned the outside of the General Electric microwave oven and the white plastic shelf rack and the microwave cooking utensils that were stored on top of the General Electric microwave oven. I never used the Farberware convection oven, since I have the Sharp Convection microwave oven. It will cook a larger item like a large chicken, small turkey or roast, but I do not cook large items, since they spoil before I can finish them. If I needed to cook a large item, I could take the new Farberware convection oven out of the bedroom closet and put it on the kitchen counter. I had thought about putting the new Panasonic microwave oven on top of the old General Electric microwave oven, but that no longer will be necessary. CIO Note: <888> 10/31/11 Monday 2:10 A.M.

CIO Note: <888> 10/30/11 Sunday 12:40 A.M. When I got back from my European studies in the end of May 1972, I flew back home to Boston first. I then flew out to Lake Forest, Illinois for graduation, but we had a party the night before graduation, so I slept through graduation, but I had not been to rehearsal anyway, so nobody knew I was back in the area anyway. I stayed with a friend who lived next to the chief of police's son at a cottage on her grandmother's estate. I recall visiting with many friends. Around the fourth of July, a number of us went up to the Thousand Island around Sauté St. Marie. I recalled buying an older Mercedes for $750, but I sold it after a month, because it burned oil. George Cary flew out later that summer after having toured more of Europe after the Greek program. We threw a Great Gatsby party. Towards the beginning of fall, I bought another old Mercedes Diesel, and I drove with George back east dropping him off and staying with his family in East Aurora, New York. We went to the horse races at Fort Erie race track where the Queen mother presented the trophy. I then drove back to Boston. The Mercedes Diesel starting burning oil too, so I did not drive it that much. I left the Mercedes in Boston, and I flew back to Chicago, and I stayed possibly in Lake Forest, where I met up with other friends, and I drove with them down to Jacksonville, Florida to transfer some vehicles down there. After staying in Jacksonville, Florida for about a week, I flew down to St. Thomas, where I stayed with another college roommate. I toured the island and St. John's, but I was not able to find a job. I flew back to Chicago, and I stayed with another college classmate who lived next door to the www.ibm.com building in downtown Chicago. After job hunting for a while and campaigning for Richard Nixon, I convinced the friend to rent a larger apartment at 31 East Elm St., where we moved in. As I recall it was $400 a month. I took a job driving a taxi for a few days, but the routine was too hectic for me. That was December 8, 1972. I recall George Cary visited the apartment for about a week and then returned home to East Aurora, New York. I then worked at I Magnum across from the Drake opening shipment packages for about a week. After a holiday party or two, I returned back to Boston for Christmas. Around the first of the year, I moved down to Manhattan to stay with my youngest sister, until around June 1973, when my family moved back to Greenwich, Connecticut. I recall in that period my father sold the Mercedes Diesel that I left in Boston. CIO Note: <888> 10/29/11 Saturday 11:40 P.M. I checked outside, and it pretty much looks the same.

That includes tomorrow and probably on Monday. A lot of the town workers live elsewhere in Connecticut and New York, so they will probably be having problems at home, before they can get back to work for the town and elsewhere. CIO !!!!!!!!!! Note: <888> 10/29/11 Saturday 8:55 P.M. I just had an idea for a bionic hand for people missing one hand. One could wear a bionic remote control glove on the good hand to control the bionic hand on the missing arm by having the bionic hand mimic the good hand's movements , and one could have it switch from controlling the bionic hand to not controlling it, so one could use the good hand. It would be a two step process, but one would not need to connect the bionic hand to any existing nerve endings on the missing hand arm. One could also program with it certain repetitive task procedures such as eating. To enable or disable the bionic hand, one could have a pair of glasses that, when one winks one eye or both eyes, it enables or disables the bionic hand.

I guess www.ibm.com might have first noticed me back around 1971, when I was an independent contractor at www.polaroid.com working on programming an IBM 360 by writing a COBOL computer program for a Spread Sheet. Later that summer, my youngest sister whom was a friend of Susan Watson arranged for me to go to Susan Watson's debutant party at the St. Regis Hotel roof. My youngest sister's date was Bob Bianchi who is now a Seattle, Washington deputy sheriff. I took a friend of hers from Greenwich, Ginny Warburg. We changed into our formal clothes at the Warburg town house in Manhattan. We stopped by the Donahue's apartment in Manhattan which had not been used since the 1930s. Mark Donahue was a friend of Bob Bianchi, and I think he also went to the debutant party. Bob was from Belmont, Massachusetts, and Mark was from Winchester, Massachusetts. At the party, we all had a good time, and I recall having a few drinks. I parked my mother's brown Chevrolet Monte Carlo just east of the entrance to the St. Regis Hotel. I think we also might have stopped by the Gotham Hotel across the street for another friend no relation Donahue's debutant party. Towards the end of Susan Watson's debutant party, I decided to go out and check on the car, and both Tom and Arthur Watson got in the elevator with me. The St. Regis Hotel elevator was very small with the old 180 degrees handles. Since the elevator operator was not there, I had to try to figure out how to use it. After a very rough ride with lots of stops and goes and ups and downs, I finally made it down to the ground floor. I later returned to the party, but I am not sure what happened to the Watson brothers. CIO Note: <888> 10/27/11 Thursday 12:10 A.M.

However, no matter what condition one's automobile battery is in the winter, to keep it fully charged, one would have to drive about 20 miles at least which would cost me about $10, so although I might drive downtown every couple of days, on a very cold day, I might need a little extra battery power to get the Audi going, so I keep the jump start systems. The Audi usually starts right up, and one does not give it gas from the accelerator. The batter on the Audi is against the engine compartment wall with the passenger compartment on the passenger side, and one has to remove a cover with a coin a like a quarter to access the battery terminals. So far in the four years that I have owned the Audi, I have never had to jump start it, but it is worth being prepared. CIO Note: <888> 10/19/11 Wednesday 6:15 P.M. Since I have 12 Volt socket adapter for my laptop computers, technically I could run a laptop computer off one of the 12 volt sockets on the jump start systems.

The older Slaymaker jump start system has this battery in it Mobility, Sealed Lead Acid Batteries, Sealed Lead Acid Battery, Mobility Wheelchair Scooter SLA Battery which is 7.13 inches by 2.99 inches by 6.57 inches , technically since I think, one can replace 12V 17AH with 12V 18AH, the one that I received today PS-12180-NB Power Sonic Replacement SLA Battery (12.00 Volts 18.00 AmpH) - High quality and lowest price guaranteed would work, if I ever wanted to replace the battery on the older Slaymaker Jump Start system.

There are probably a lot of old Beatles fans around here, but from what I know, they do not have any sort of spot where they can gather together and listen to Beatles music. I used to hear some Beatles music a long time ago, possibly coming from the Thataway cafe on Sunday nights on Greenwich Avenue. However, since I quit drinking beer and liquor over 25 years ago, I have not been going to Pubs to listen to music. I guess I could listen to music at home, but I find it distracts from my constant internet work. I guess being on the internet for 22 years, I have lost some of my social skills that I used to have. Still, I seem to have a quiet peaceful life, and at the ripe old age of 61 years old, I need a little bit more rest than when I was a young Beatles fan. I guess that was my first introduction to the British, but I still have not made if to Great Britain or England or the United Kingdom to see what it is really like over on the other side of the Pond. I guess I probably eat too much by British standards too, so a few British people would be starving if I went over there. CIO Note: <888> 10/09/11 Sunday 5:20 P.M.

My relative has another younger relative that lives in Winter Park, Florida about an hour away, but I am not sure if he would be able to make it there in the rain today.

Of course I think www.crw.com is near Libertyville, Illinois, where Adlai Stevenson was from. As I recall back in the April to June 1974, when I lived on West 20th street in Manhattan across the street from the Anglican Seminary, my two roommates were Chris Hemphill from Connecticut and John Wells from Pennsylvania. Both had attended www.yale.edu and Chris was a writer for Town and Country magazine and I think John Wells family were involved in the advertising agency Wells, Rich and Greene, but they also could be involved with the Wells Fargo bank. It is a common family name in America. My allergies have been bothering me recently. I had a $20 phone bill that I could not pay, so I moved back to Connecticut, and I sold my blue Volvo sedan while I was living there, so it was difficult getting around in Manhattan, and also about that time, they started Alternate Side of the Street Parking, so one could not sleep all day without having to wake up to move one's car. I think the New York City sanitation garages were nearby as were the MTA bus terminals. Malcolm Forbes had a town house nearby on West 21st street though, so there were some established New Yorkers in the Chelsea area of Manhattan. I tend to prefer the country though, since when one starts to move around Manhattan, it can be very busy. In my time in Manhattan, it was not too busy in August, when people are away on vacation. Also on Super Bowl night, it tends not to be too busy, because a lot of people are watching television. CIO Note: <888> 10/05/11 Wednesday 10:10 P.M. I ate two peanut butter sandwiches with a 12 ounce glass of A&W diet root beer. I recall back when I was at www.lfc.edu , a lot of the meat packing families in the United States of America lived in Lake Forest, Illinois. However, at Lake Forest College, the hamburgers were only about a quarter of an inch thick and the steaks were only about a half inch thick, when they were served occasionally. American Hospital Supply is a 9049 provider of wound care, medical equipment and supplies, and orthopedic implants in the Caribbean built a corporate headquarters nearby about the time I left Lake Forest, Illinois in 1972. Two classmates at Lake Forest College had the family name of this company www.ford.com and another had the family name of this company Power Management, Powering Business Worldwide and another classmate had the family name of this company The world's most trusted name in belts, hoses & hydraulics | Gates Corporation . Of course besides meat packing Lake Forest, Illinois is famous for the McCormick family of International Harvester known today as Navistar . Also another classmate was John Riggs of the Riggs National Bank in Washington D.C.. In my four years at Lake Forest College, I only had two friends stop by from out of town. One was Myles McGough from Katonah, New York who was a classmate at the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut. He use get drive away cars and transport them between both the east and west coasts. I do not know when he was transporting them, if he had to pay for the gasoline of not. The other was Greg DeSantis who was somebody my family met on vacation in Tobago, and he was driving a new Mercedes Benz from California back to Boston, and he had mechanical problems, and since I had a hobby of restoring old Mercedes in Lake Forest, Illinois, the local Mercedes Benz dealership knew me quite well, and we were able to get his car fixed. Out in the Midwest since it is wide open spaces with no place to go, people do not drive cars very much, and there are a lot of low mileage cars in the Midwest, since when they travel long distance they use other transportation like trains and planes. In Lake Bluff, Illinois Lake Bluff Homes for Sale & Lake Bluff Real Estate - IL | Homes.com , one can still buy a two bedroom two bathroom 1100 square foot condo for $78,000, but it looks like it might be actually in Libertyville, Illinois which is near Great Lakes Naval Station www.navy.mil if you happen to know any Squids.

While I was outside, the Space Shuttle picture in the bedroom fell off from on top of the Panasonic air conditioner and knocked over the pineapple lamp on top of the bedroom Dell Dimension 4600i computer and the telephone knocking it off the hook, but I put it all back in place.

Experts: Beetle likely to kill most Ohio ash trees 9057 Deer-crash season begins with less daylight Way out in the Midwest, where they tend to have a lot of food, they have forgotten about me a long time ago, since when I went to www.lfc.edu out there, I was very skinny about 125 pounds. In fact while I was at Lake Forest College, when I did my own cooking, I would frequently eat salmon steaks which were 59 cents a pound at the Lakeside Foods grocery store along with minute rice and cooked frozen vegetables. They overcooked the food at the college. I also would eat breakfast whenever I woke up at Jim Mitchell's restaurant. Since I worked local jobs while going to college, I had a bit of extra money. When I came back east, www.poloroid.com still existed, but I wanted to work in Finance or at www.ibm.com , but when the stock market crashed in 1973, job hunting was sort of futile, so I just did chores around the family house in Greenwich, when I was not in Manhattan. There are suppose to be food riots going on in Manhattan recently, so I guess I am fortunate to have a roof over my head and food in my pantry. The rioters apparently are considering eating bankers. CIO Note: <888> 10/03/11 Monday 2:20 A.M. I slept until just now. CIO Note: <888> 10/02/11 Sunday 9:45 P.M. I chatted with a relative. CIO Note: <888> 10/02/11 Sunday 8:40 P.M. I ate three scoops of Edy's French Silk ice cream. Back in the 1970s during the recession, when Manhattan was more affluent, they had meat packing warehouses on the Hudson River around West 14th street. One could see who sides of beef being delivered to the meat packing warehouses, but since New Yorkers do not eat too much, they replaced the Meat Packing District with Art Galleries, so now one can stay thin and look at the art work in the meat packing district. Back in the 1970s people in Manhattan would eat stuffed Dover Sole with rice for dinner and for lunch they would eat watercress salad with Dijon vinaigrette dressing with a thin slice of toasted French bread for a crouton. Thus I think we are still eating better out here in the country, but the urban diet where urban people stay thin, so they can walk more might be healthier. Usually out here in the winter after the first of the year, once it gets very cold, some Canadians show up here thinking it is warm, and they frequently have Marie Callendar 16 ounce chicken pot pies on sale for $2 down from $4.59.

Since it is starting to get cooler in Greenwich, Connecticut; I have to remember to dress more warmly when I go out downtown. It is still warm down south for any people fortunate enough to spend the winter down south. Of course up north in the winter in these energy depleted times during this economic recession, one can always just stay in bed and stay warm until the spring comes. It is better to have a roof over one's head up north than to be camping outside in Florida in the winter. CIO Note: <888> 10/02/11 Sunday 6:55 P.M. I went back to bed until 6:30 P.M..

Once installed, I just installed the first hard drive as the first hard drive and the Windows 8 Developer as the second hard drive. I was able to get the Netgear FR114P Print Server working with my network and the Lexmark E238 laser printer.

I washed the breakfast dishes. CIO Note: <888> 11/18/11 Friday 11:55 P.M. I turned on the heat in the living room to warm it up a bit. Not much ever happens here in Greenwich, Connecticut except a lot of traffic. Once all of the traffic coming and going from the big City moves out of this area, it tends to be fairly quiet around here. We have a large senior population whom enjoying playing the card game Bridge at home. They do not go out as much as the younger generation whom seem to be on expense accounts all of the time. I guess their employers would prefer them to work longer hours instead of cooking and shopping. In my particular case, more than likely a lot of my former associates have moved out of the area, once they retired. There are places that are less expensive and more enjoyable for retirement. I visited a number of those places in my youth, and since I can not afford to retire elsewhere, I will probably be living here for a long time. It is not as peaceful as Nantucket, but for a senior it offers more services. Key West would be too busy for retirement, since it has a busy tourist population year round. There are quieter places in Florida such as Vero Beach, Florida, where I have relatives and friends that live there, but I can not afford that either. Also once one starts going south for the winter, it is hard to ever come back up north to live. Actually one spend so much time inside during the winter here, it can be quite relaxing and comfortable, providing that one keeps busy. I guess once it gets colder, people do not exercise walk as much. However, if one dresses for cold 9081 weather with multiple layers of clothing and a warm hat or cap, it can be quite enjoyable to be outside. I am always amused that when I am all bundled up against the cold, the younger generation seems to go outside in their house clothes and not even notice the cold. Well, I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO Note: <888> 11/18/11 Friday 10:55 P.M. After my meal, I ate an apple. I have known for over 25 years that Saudi Arabia has a consular residence up on North Street in Greenwich, Connecticut. Today I was told that Israel has a consular residence nearby in Port Chester, New York. Thus I guess they have their staffs and intelligence agencies working this area. I wander what other consular residences are in this area. We have a large international population here, so more than likely there are other ones in the area, besides the business community. CIO Note: <888> 11/18/11 Friday 9:55 P.M. I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I used the bathroom at Starbucks before and after my walk. I stopped by CVS during my walk, and I picked up a prescription. I bought a 7 ounce CVS extra mild gel shave cream for $2.29 and .15 tax for $2.44 total. After my walk, I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone. I then walked the lower Greenwich Avenue area again. I also stopped by Zen Stationary twice. After my walk, I went by the Greenwich Library, and I checked out "The King's Speech" DVD. It has to be returned by the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I then went to the Stop and Shop, and I bought a five pound box of Clementines from Spain for $4.99, a four pack of day old muffins for $2.25, a 1.5 quart container of Turkey Hill butter pecan ice cream for $2.50 for $9.74 total. I then returned home, and I put away my purchases.

I noticed last night, when I was downtown, they were playing Christmas music at www.cvs.com . I also noticed that they have strung small white Italian lights on the street lamps on Greenwich Avenue. Thus we seem to be in the Holiday Season. I put my little two foot artifical Christmas tree on a brass tray on top of the Samsung color laser printer at the apartment entrance, and I hung my artificial wreath on on the outside of the front door. The Christmas tree lights turn on with the power control strip switch beneath it. I also hung the small little burlap wreath on the left living room closet. When I first moved in here, all I had was the simple small burlap wreath, so it is sort of a bit of nostalgia. Thus I now have my Christmas decoration on display. I will have to move the Christmas tree off the color laser printer temporarily, when I print out my Christmas letters in two to three weeks. I have limited funds until the end of the month, so I might have to curtail some of my "People Watching" downtown. CIO Note: <888> 11/18/11 Friday 12:55 P.M.

There is not much to do in White Plains, New York except to get tires or batteries at www.sears.com , both of which I do not need this year. From what I can tell from the local jet traffic, they might be doing some or of business over in that area that we do not know about here. The way I figure it, some of the old Dutch Farmers in this area might have made money over the centuries, and they are maintaining a low profile which the rest of the people in this area keep on working the Main streets in town. I wander whom actually owns the properties on Greenwich Avenue, which so many people spend so much time on. All I know is supposedly New York City real estate firms bought up all of the property on Greenwich Avenue in the 1920s, and they have been wheeling and dealing ever since.

I hooked up the princess phone from the bathroom to the Arris cable modem. I then called Optimum Voice Tech support, and they put me through to an expert technical person. I suggested they change the phone jack on the cable modem from jack 2 to jack 1. They decided to do that which takes a while. After about a half hour, the Optimum Voice telephone started working on jack 1. I called them up to thank them for the help, and I cancelled the Cablevision Technical visit for this Monday. However, when I connected up the Optimum Voice telephone network cable, the Verizon phone line quit working. Usually on two line phone systems, when one of the lines quits working, but when it works when the other line is not connected, it means one of the two line phones are defective. I checked all of my two line phone, and the V-Tech two line cordless phone on the Danish bar was the defective one. I removed it and put it underneath the bed. Now both the Verizon and Optimum Voice telephone line networks all work just fine. $196 with free shipping with coupon code "EMCYTZT898" Newegg.com - Haier 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 720p 60Hz LCD HDTV L32F1120 CIO End of Scott's Notes week of 11/12/11: 9094 Note: <888> 11/12/11 Saturday 11:40 P.M.

I then returned home. I was told the Staples store in Norwalk had moved to the side street just south of Home Depot. I installed the Arris cable modem. I chatted with a relative. I had to wait on hold to Cablevision to get tech support to activate the modem. The Optimum Telephone line still would not work. I installed the Dynex Router on my network, so I no longer have the Netgear Router with the print server connected up. I am getting 50 mbps download and 8 mbps upload on the computer network. On the Dynex router, I had to change and add a few settings. However, it took a while to get the FIC server going, since they had closed Port 80, which I had tech support open about an hour ago. I chatted with a relative. I have a Cablevision Technician coming this Monday between 11 A.M. and 2 P.M. to check on the Optimum Voice problem with the new cable modem. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/11 Saturday 6:55 A.M. I will now go out. CIO 9095 Note: <888> 11/12/11 Saturday 6:45 A.M. I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature. I watered the plants. At 7 A.M., I am going to drive up Norwalk, Connecticut to Cablevision which opens at 8 A.M.. I will exchange the Cable Modem for a good one. With Optimum Boost Plus, I am also suppose to get a free high speed wireless router, so I will check into that too. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/11 Saturday 5:55 A.M. I put away the laundry. I will now shower and clean up and put foot fungus cream on my feet. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/11 Saturday 5:15 A.M. I have 15 minutes to go the dry cycles. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk. I washed the breakfast dishes. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/11 Saturday 4:25 A.M. I woke up at 3:30 A.M.. I started two loads of laundry, and I have 10 minutes to go on the wash cycles.

I installed the Arris cable modem, and I registered it online. It worked at first, with my primary computer connected to it directly, I got 35 mbps download and about 8 upload. However, when connected through my network, I only get the same 15 mbps download and 5 upload. My Netgear FR114P router does not support the higher speeds, although it is a 10/100 mbps second router. The Optimum Voice telephone worked at first, but then it quit working, and after tested it with Optimum Tech Support, we determined the Arris cable modem was defective. I reinstalled the Motorola Docsis 2 Cable Modem, and the computer setup is back to the way it was before. I have to go to Cablevision in Norwalk, and exchange the Arris cable modem for a good Docsis three one. I still won't be able to go any faster on my network. Since Optimum Boost is no longer available, I will continue to have Optimum Boost Plus at the extra $5 a month charge. CIO Note: <888> 11/11/11 Friday 12:45 P.M. I stuffed the new Turkish pipe tobacco in quart mason jars, so I now have 20 quart or 4 ounce weight mason jars of the Turkish pipe 9096 tobacco.

I made 162 Smokers Best Lights 100 MM filter Peter Stokkebye Danish pipe tobacco cigarettes while watching www.foxnews.com . While making the cigarettes, the Premier Supramatic cigarette machine jammed. I tried to repair it by unscrewing some parts, but I broke a screw while reattaching the parts. I can order the parts to fix it for $2 and $5 shipping. However, when I used my spare new machine, it works some much faster and better, I think the old machine would still be worn out if I fixed it, which I will do once I get the spare parts. I went ahead and order another spare new Amazon.com: PREMIER Supermatic Cigarette Injector Machine: Sports & Outdoors for $45 with free shipping.

Connecticut Light and Power Outage Map 544,420 in Connecticut without electricity or 43% 1099 in Greenwich, Connecticut without electricity or 3% It shows Greenwich, Connecticut is at the edge of the tropics and we are a bit warmer than the rest of the state because of Long Island Sound and the heat that blows our way from New York City. Well, in the economically depressed area of Greenwich, Connecticut it is better to stay home and save money and conserve energy instead of walking around on Rodeo Drive East. We get lots of people out here thinking we have more money than New York City which is not necessarily the case. People think that, since we have more acreage around us, but in reality we are simply further out in the country better known as the Sticks, so I guess we are "Hicks from the Sticks". However, we enjoy our environmentally friendly atmosphere compared to the congestion of Manhattan, since it is terribly expensive to go into Manhattan just to walk around in circles without any purpose. Of course the Manhattan media constantly bombard us with their presence on our communications media. Maybe we should have a Greenwich, Connecticut television station with the simple pleasures of gardening, bird watching, exercise walking, contemplation of nature, people watching, reading, being thrifty, dealing with nature, frugal cooking, and being politically neutral. We should be more like Greenwich, Switzerland, since it would be better for the local economy, particularly since over half the local population are non voting foreign residents whom do not pay much attention to local politics.

I watched episode 4 of "The Medici". When I lived in Florence, Italy in the winter of 1972, I lived at the Pensione Adria which was on the top floor of the building at the southeast corner of the Santa Trinita bridge. It was within easy walking distance of all of the famous landmarks including the Pitti Palace and the Uffici and the Domo. Back in 1972, a single room was $45 a week which included breakfast and dinner. Wine was extra. Also one had to put in 100 lire coins for three minutes of hot water in the bath tub in the common bathroom. It was across the street from a catholic boy's school. There was a lot of street traffic, so I enjoyed having an inside room which was quieter to sleep in the daytime and darker. I enjoyed getting up for dinner and walking around the city at night time. However, sometimes I was on a daytime schedule. CIO Note: <888> 12/28/11 Wednesday 9:45 P.M. I made a partial payment at www.optimum.net to pay off the balance of my bill through January 2012.

I bought two 27.8 ounce Folger's Special Roast coffee for $6.99 each and a gallon of CVS distilled water for $1.57 for $15.55 total. I used the bathroom at CVS. I then drove further downtown, and I left a message with a relative with my wireless phone. I then walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. The reason I keep an eye on the railroad is that Granddad Clarence Scott worked for 60 years on the Illinois Central Railroad, so I might occasionally see some deja vue friends around the train station. I stopped by Starbucks, and I used the bathroom, and I chatted with a regular. I tend to talk faster in the winter, because it is a bit cold outside. I then went by CVS, and I bought another 27.8 ounce Folgers Special Roast coffee for $6.99. They are $10 off this week. I then finished my walk. On the way down Greenwich Avenue, I chatted with three locals about Mountain Lions. I sat out for a while, and I watched Starbucks close. I then went by the Stop and Shop, and I bought four fresh muffins for $2.99, a 96 ounce container of Tropicana orange juice with calcium for $3.99 and two bananas for .79 a pound for .62 for $7.60 total. I then returned home, and I put away my purchases. Once I used up the opened 33 ounce Eight O'clock hazelnut coffee beans, I will save the two new closed bags and start using the Folgers's Special Roast coffee. It says on the container it will make up to 240 cups, but the way I make coffee, it will probably make about 50 cups. When I returned to Nantucket in the summer of 1975, I used to take naps in the Quaker cemetery by Benjamin Franklin's mother's grave whose last name was Folger. In the summers of 1977 and 1978, I worked at the Gordon Folger Hotel as a pot scrubber. My picture when I was darkly tanned from Key West, Florida would be in those summer's staff group photos.

I went downtown, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. Starbucks and the newspaper stores were closes. Versailles and Gillatos were open, but they looked like they might be closing around 8 P.M., but I don't know. The movie theatre was opened. I walked west on Railroad Avenue, and I browsed the exotic cars at Carriage House Motor Cars--Greenwich, CT | Pre Owned Ferrari, Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini and Lexus of Greenwich - Stamford & White Plains CT - New & Used Car Dealer . I walked up Arch street, and the reindeer are gone from Florist Greenwich CT | McArdle's Florist & Garden Center | Greenwich & Stamford Flower Delivery and Outdoor Traders did not have any sales signs displayed like usual and I browsed the window of Sandra Morgan Interiors . I walked up Greenwich Avenue, and I browsed CVS, and I chatted with staff. They have their new weekly sale starting on Monday. They will have Progresso soup on sale for two 18 ounce cans for $3.59 and a large container of Folgers coffee regularly $16.99 for $6.99. They have not put their Christmas cards on sale yet. They were opened until 8 P.M. tonight, and it was not busy at all. I noticed, when I was walking down Greenwich Avenue, someone was on a cell phone trying to figure out how to lock the door at the rectory at St. Mary's. I chatted with a regular dog walker. I noticed lot of extra fire engines at the central Greenwich Fire Station like they might be having Christmas dinner there. On the way back home, I noticed Dunkin Donuts, the West Putnam Avenue Shell, the Panda Pavilion, and the Mobil Station mini market were all opened. CIO Note: <888> 12/25/11 Sunday 4:30 P.M. I woke up at 10:30 A.M., when a relative called to wish me Merry Christmas. I finally woke up at 1:30 P.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and a sliced banana and milk, a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread, a 50% to 50% glass of punch and cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, a cup of coffee with Equal sweetener and milk. I washed the breakfast dishes. I made my bed. While eating breakfast, I watched www.foxnews.com . They had the www.trump.com family on their show. It reminded me that when I came off Nantucket in December 1983, I toured Manhattan a few times. One time I was at a pub in Greenwich Village, and a friend who had gone to www.princeton.edu told me that Donald Trump had built a new building next to Tiffany's, and they had Beefeaters with fur hats standing in front of the building. I went uptown, and I toured the seven story atrium. I remember riding the escalators gave me vertigo. Also they had lots of crystals that looked like large diamond spread around the open areas, and I wandered if they might be real diamonds. However, around Christmas Time in 1977, when I was working as a dishwasher in Boca Raton, Florida at La Vielle Maison restaurant, I took time off, and I sat down with an IBM employee at a coffee shop 9125 on U.S. 1 in Boca Raton, and I designed on a napkin a desktop computer based on what I knew about an IBM 360, but the parts were not yet invented, but the desktop computer is still basically the same today. I also bought a new pair of Addidas sneakers that Christmas, and I buried the old pair in a canal off the Boca Inlet. Where I camped out on the north side of the Boca inlet on the beach is suppose to be a very nice hotel. After breakfast I used duct tape to tape up the left side of the sheet over the bedroom window which was coming down. I opened up the olive green throw that I received from the Men's United Way of Greenwich. I also opened up the order with tracking of UPS: Tracking Information on the order for two pairs in waist 48 inches and 31 inch inseam for $19.98 each in white Colorfast Casual Corduroy Plain Front Pants and $8.95 shipping for $48.91 total. They are a little large, but they will probably shrink to size when they are washed and dried the first time. I removed the tags, and I hung them up on the right side of the bedroom closet. I also got a number of other Christmas items, which I have set up around the apartment in the last couple of months. When I was driving up Mason Street last night, I noticed there is a large Christmas Tree with colorful lights in the BNY Mellon | Asset Management and Securities Servicing parking lot next to Pickwick Plaza. I will now shower and clean up and put foot fungus cream on my feet and go out to downtown Greenwich Avenue for a Christmas walk. CIO End of Scott's Notes week of 12/25/11: Note: <888> 12/25/11 Sunday 2:05 A.M. Merry Christmas. I watched the movie, "2012, Supernova". I also watched episode 4 of "Waiting for God".

Once the liquid mixture is done simmering in about 10 minutes, I will add the four 6 ounce boxes of America's Choice chicken stuffing mix. I am cooking 9126 the liquid mixture in a Chinese wok which is larger than my large Revere pot. I will probably freeze half and eat some of the rest for the next four or five days. CIO Note: <888> 12/24/11 Saturday 7:40 P.M. I went out after the last note. I threw out garbage. I noticed there was a Sony Box by the garbage for a Sony KDL55EX620 Review; LCD LED 3D TV Bravia, See the Video Review KDL-55EX620 EX 621. I guess somebody in this building has a lot of money. I went by the A&P Fresh, and I bought four boxes of America's Choice six ounce chicken stuffing for $1 each and a 8 ounce Cool Whip lite for $1.25 less 65 cents returned cans for $4.60 total. They had prime rib for $6.99 a pound, and it was not busy until I returned back by there at 7 P.M., when a lot of people were there. I am not sure how late they are opened.

Since the King of Norway was on vacation in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in the fall of 1976, and I was around his people, they were not amused when wealthy people from Tulsa, Oklahoma tired to have me killed. Since Tulsa, Oklahoma is the center of oil operations for people like the Getty family with their connections in Saudi Arabia, and since Norway has some oil in the North Sea, and since in Key West, Florida, the only other office down there in the fall of 1976 was the Gulf Oil office, it would seem to me that I got involved with oil people fighting. At the time I was threatened in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in the fall of 1976, my eldest sister lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma and she was married to the assistant District Attorney. Of course there were other people in Fort Lauderdale like Wiley Middleton, and his family being one of the oldest families down south was not able to restore peace, so he moved up to Daytona, Florida. It seems when the oil people get to drinking alcohol and using drugs with their oil money, they lose all perspective of the overall situation. CIO Note: <888> 12/08/11 Thursday 3:20 A.M. Of course, when I first got down to Key West, Florida on Halloween 1976, there were only a couple of bars and stores opened on Duval Street. Everything else was boarded up, since nobody was there. One of the few businesses that were opened was the Household Finance Company. I had a contact with them, since my father's first wife's family started and owned the Household Finance Company which is now a part of Welcome to the HSBC Global Site | HSBC Holdings plc . Thus more than likely the Household Finance Company had money invested in the Florida Keys. My first friend in Key West, Florida was Rob Glore, and his mother was from the www.dupont.com family, and back in 1976, the Dupont family owned the largest chain of banks in Florida. My friend in Jacksonville, Florida; Hurley Harris Haywood family owned the Harris Trust Bank in Chicago, Illinois. Thus when Rob Glore, Hurley Haywood, and Whitney from Minnesota and myself drove down to Florida in the Fall of 1976 from Chicago, we had some financial backing. The Whitneys are suppose to be wealthy, but I am not sure if they own any financial institutions, and Whitney is currently ambassador to Norway the last I heard. Of course down in Florida with all of the crime, when I was threatened in the fall of 1976, I had to live inconspicuously because two wealthy people from Tulsa, Oklahoma offered a friend of mine $50,000 to kill me. Thus if there were any wealthy people from Tulsa, Oklahoma in Fort Lauderdale, Florida back in the fall of 1976, they might be the ones that tried to have me killed. I reported the incident at the time to the www.fbi.gov , and they called in Federal Strike Force into Fort Lauderdale, Florida. CIO Note: <888> 12/08/11 Thursday 2:35 A.M. After the last note, I watched part of a movie about Merlin and Beasts. I went to sleep about 10:30 P.M., and I woke up at 1:30 A.M. Well, I have to figure out something more to blog about in my notes. I could tell stories about wandering around Florida in my youth or living in isolation in Nantucket, but a lot of my adventures revolved around ordinary routines, although they were different from here. In Florida in the fall of 1976 until April 1977 and from October 1977 until May 1978, when I did not have a home, I did a lot of camping out on the road so to speak. Actually in the fall of 1976, I had a 1966 Chevrolet Biscayne blue four door sedan, so I was able to sleep in my car in various rest areas around Fort Lauderdale, Florida, until they towed my 9155 car for too many parking tickets at the park next to the Swimming Hall of Fame. After my car was towed, I tried sleeping in the park at the south end of the beach in Fort Lauderdale, but I worried about alligators coming out of the canals at night. I then hitch hiked down to Key West, Florida, where I slept underneath the community room of the Episcopal Church, until about February 1977, when Jim Eldert showed up, and he had friends with a trailer next to the Boca Chica Naval Station. Jim Eldert's family owned the bank in Syracuse, New York, and his grandfather had the house in Key Biscayne, Florida next to Richard Nixon. He had a lot of cousins with the last name "Moran". His maternal grandmother was from the Joy family in Boston that started the China trade, and there are Joy family monuments in Nantucket. As of this year, the Joy family trust is suppose to be close to a trillion dollars. I think I also slept on the beach in the day time, and stayed awake all night. It was sort of a dreary existence despite the nice weather. I did not have funds to rent a room in that period, because all of my unemployment checks were delayed coming from South Carolina through Interstate Benefits in Stamford, Connecticut, and then down to Florida. I got $87 every two weeks. They all arrived at one time in April 1977 about $1,600 worth. I picked up the old Chevrolet in the car pound in Fort Lauderdale after paying the parking tickets on it, and I drove north from Key West with Jim Eldert, and Jim flew north from Jacksonville, Florida, and I drove the car up north to Nantucket, where I started working odd jobs. In Nantucket except for the summer of 1975, I usually had a place to stay. I gave away the old Chevrolet in Nantucket, and after a season's work in October 1977, I hitchhiked back down to Florida. I worked in "La Vielle Maison" in Baco Raton, Florida, and I camped out on the beach on the north side of the Boca Inlet. About February 1978 I flew to the Bahamas for a few days, where I stayed with Richard Mercy in Paradise Island. When I returned back to Florida, I went back down to Key West, Florida, where Jim Eldert showed up again. I met John Bolton, and he had the key to the abandoned Casa Marina Hotel, where we stayed that season. After a side trip on the Appalachian Trail in April 1978, we returned to Nantucket. I had applied for my income tax return, so when I received it in April 1978, I used it to return back up north. I recall around March 1978, Jim Eldert hitchhiked out of Key West, Florida, and he ended up in Santa Cruz, California I later found out. After the summer in Nantucket in 1978, I had bought an inexpensive Subaru Station wagon, and I drove out to California with John Bolton, and we camped out in various camp grounds along the beach and in the mountains in California. That winter we were back in Daytona, Florida at John's sister's apartment, but we did drive around south Florida and the Keys occasionally. In February of 1982, I tried sleeping on the beach in Key West, but it was not allowed, and I did not know anyone to put me up. In November and December of 1983 after spending the summer in Nantucket, I slept for two weeks on the couch at the Episcopal Seminary at the University of Toronto and also spent a couple of weeks living out of the East Side Airline terminal building in Manhattan. I have been back in Greenwich, Connecticut since about mid December 1983, where I have been living inside, except for when I am sitting 9156 outside and walking around at night. I have gotten older, so at age 61 with Mountain Lions around, I tend not to go out at night for walks in the early morning hours. CIO Note: <888> 12/07/11 Wednesday 9:40 P.M.

I moved the Emperor Bing of China shield to the kitchen where the old photograph used to be. It seems what few republicans are still left around here, don't pay much attention to me anymore, since they do not like sitting out in the cold on a winter's night or morning. I have a 11 A.M. appointment this morning. CIO Note: <888> 12/06/11 Tuesday 1:45 A.M. I slept some more until just now. I made my bed again.

I ate a 20 ounce Stouffer's macaroni and cheese dinner, which I seasoned with Italian seasoning. It might be better, if one covered it with seasoned Italian bread crumbs before cooking it. I ate it with a 12 ounce glass of Sierra Mist all natural lemon lime soda. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. Not much happens in Greenwich, Connecticut for people on a night schedule. I do have a 11 A.M. appointment tomorrow, so I will have to stay up later tomorrow morning. CIO 9160 Note: <888> 12/05/11 Monday 10:20 A.M. I threw out the garbage after the last note. I went by the Chase Bank at 19 West Putnam Avenue.

I put the small British flag hanging from the right rear blue vase. With all of the computer work I have been doing over the years, I have not been paying much attention to the interior decoration in the apartment, since maintaining a dozen computers and the other electronics takes a lot of time. Not to mention until recently I have spent 28 years walking regularly on Greenwich Avenue which also takes quite a bit of time. I also have my regular household routines. In my worldwide travels, the only people whom ever seem to chat with me are the British, so over the years I have learned to pay attention to the British in my hometown in Greenwich, Connecticut U.S.A..

The Khan family is originally from Mongolia, so they are familiar with dealing with China and Russia, which is probably why they moved elsewhere. As a regular night person on limited funds, I do not have much to do when I am on a day schedule, but my same old night routine. I am a bit tired, so I will take another nap.

I watched part of a National Geographic Inspiring People to Care About the Planet Since 1888 on the National Geographic Channel 169 about Great Lakes of North America. Apparently the Eastern most part of the Great Lakes was formed by an Asteroid a long time before the Glaciers.

National Geographic magazine once did an article about Key West, Florida, and as I recall they did an article in February 1971 about Lanzarote. Since I got back into computers 22 years ago, I have not had too much time to read the National Geographic magazine at the Greenwich Library. I chatted with a relative.
