Juliana may make herself available to be a haineshisway.com bride. She's very interested in the concept.

And you didn't offer yourself to her as a groom, bk?? I'm shocked...

bk · « **Reply #182 on:** January 03, 2005, 03:37:02 PM »

Well, I can't possibly offer myself as a groom until she's actually offered herself as bride. As soon as she commits to the idea, then it's no holds barred. There IS a slight age difference, but when has THAT ever stopped the likes of elderly Jews?

Isn't it funny - I mention eleven GUESTS and three GUESTS immediately hit the road.

Okay, the x's are gone but why do you mention the guests when it tends to chase them away?

DR Dan, thanks for trying to help re: the telnet thing. I did what you said, and it sort of brought something up. But it was on a black screen (and I cannot work that way). I couldn't get it to load though.

It's just so frustrating, because the other computer I was using had telnet right on the front page when you logged in. I know there are sites that I can probably download telnet from. I just don't know anything about such things!

It only chases CERTAIN guests away - you know, CERTAIN guests.

First computer I ever used with a Commadore PET Computer in 6th grade. I remember buying a Commadore VIC 20 from a friend of mine for use at home, you hooked it up to the TV, it was fun. I remember copying programs out of magazines in my spare time and saving them on CASSETTES!!! I eventually acquired an Atari 800 XL and eventually a PC. I still use PC's and I have an iBook for portable stuff.

DR Matthew, did you make the hot air balloon that floated across the TV screen?

Good Afternoon/Early Evening!

On you Mark... Get Set... Bake!

Or as the English prefer:

Ready... Steady... Bake!

I haven't started any actual baking yet, but I did spend some time in the kitchen getting things in order. The counters are wiped down and disinfected and wiped down again. All my measuring cups and spatulas are washed. Both work bowls for my Kitchen Aid stand mixer are also washed. I also washed a bunch of pots and pans that have been gathering dust since the last time I used them - which I think was all the way back in March! WOW?!?!?!? I even have a couple of sticks of butter sitting out and coming to room temperature so that they may be able to creamed with sugars and vanilla and extracts later on this evening.

I'm just taking a break right now. And I also need to get some dinner too. Thankfully, there's nothing on Monday night's TV schedule that looks tempting, so... -I think that's why I started baking on Monday nights in the first place, since there was nothing on TV worth watching.

And my foot is feeling a lot better. A lot better. Whew! -I also realized that I was probably not feeling too well earlier since my blood sugar was low. I had dinner last night between shows, and that was around 6:00pm. I got up at 11:30 this morning, but I didn't head out for my walk and my lunch until around 2:00. You do the math. Food good. No food for 14 hours not good.

OK... Time to get this laptop of my lap or you know what might happen... (DR DerB).

I got another box of Edgar Wallace movies - this one box number six (boxes one and two are still on their way) - sadly, two of the four films therein are in German with no subs or dubs. The other two are fine. Three of the films are in color (all the others are black and white). The series of films basically only had a handful of directors, but two of the films were directed by Brits - Freddie Francis and Cy (Zulu) Endfield - sadly, both of the latter two are in German only.

bk · « **Reply #193 on:** January 03, 2005, 04:07:49 PM »

However, since I've picked up a good deal of German from having watched ten of these films, I can probably get through them all right, just by reading a synopisis on the imdb. I must go in the other zimmer and watch.

Re: chat. I don't do chat. I really don't understand the concept. How is it any different than communicating here? I waste enough time on the internet as it is. I need no other distractions.

Jennifer, one more thing to try--HyperTeminal. It should be located in Programs, Accessories, Communications. It looks to me that this is the same as Telnet.

Back from a lovely lunch with the ever-lovely Juliana A. Hansen. I never run into people I know, but I saw my pal Gordon Hunt, and I saw my cousin Alan. Go know. Juliana looked ravishing, and I have a phograph to prove it which, of course, I will be posting from my new Powerbook. I do have the feeling that the photos I'm taking with the Canon will be too many pixels, so someone may have to talk me through converting them to less pixels.

BK, my favorite picture utility is called IrfanView. There is a "Resize/Resample" option under "Edit" on the menu that allows one to, er, resize or resample your pics to the size you want.

Chat is not for everyone, but I must say some of the wildest, wooliest and funniest things on this site have happened during certain chats. It's a totally different vibe than the board - but, yes, it is hard to keep up and is definitely not for slow typists.

That's okay, DR Danise. Women are welcome in the lodge. In fact, two women I know regularly lead sweat lodges.

DR RLP, your sweat is sticky? Mine is more on the slippery side.

Re computers - More info on my first hybrid typewriter computer mix -- a Xerox (6200 maybe?). It eventually saved to a 5 1/2 floppy in DOS text. I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. SO modern.

It suddenly got very dark here. And thunder is rumbling.

FYI. Ladies don't sweat, we perspire.

I am here. I had to get caught up.

When I was working at the library our online catalog was actually telnet/hyperterminal based. We moved over to a Sirsi web-based system about 3 months before we moved to the new building. I noticed that it was the same system that my college uses so I have taught several of my friends how to use the online catalog. They know how to search for things, but they have no idea you can renew materials online and make reserves/holds or whatever you wish to call it.

I spend way too much time on the computer now that I think about it. Creating DVD projects, making multimedia slideshows, etc. One of my minors is Digital Media Design. I actually have a picture slideshow I am working on for my church where I livel. A lot of the resident parishoners have no idea what the college students have going on there so we are working on it for a presentation. I've got a very rough copy uploaded to my website and I have been asking my friends to tell me if there is anything about it that needs changed or edited so it will be better.

It's just really exciting to see where media is going in daily life. I am not talking about it's use for entertainment so much as its applications in education, business, and personal use. But I am rambling! :-)

I don't do either well which is the reason I avoid sweat lodges. I tend to simply pass out.

The sky is really ominous - quite black in certain sections.

Dan TM - That was quite an eerie story about the calendar.
