june 23 2021

 new keyboard--- new mouse....let us pray.. if insanity is to expect a different result by doing the same thing over again.... why do i keep buying  keyboards.  and trying to use technoology...

case in point---- i was delighted to have everyone solve teh where is smithsonian channel... and was told with great authority it was channel 634-- and to show me   they put it on the office tv.. and it worked.... showing at teh moment ships at sea....-- so i quickly ran in my room... pushed 6. 3. 4. and got a black screeen.. with sounds of  the titanic disaster... well they had that right.-- wanting to be ready to watch teh "dogs with extrodinary jobs."
'... i really wanted to line it up ahead of time...--i had sound but  no picture...  wailing loudly,, linda came in and diddled with my 2 remotes for 10 minutes abnd got a picture.. declaring "there.. you see it is on 134". -------- what is she ... some kind of tech wizzard.. or did she just flip thru  500 channels and find smithsonian there... and if she coudl... is that how i should have been self sufficient and done that myself.... i totally do not understand what happened--answers  began flying arouhnfd to questions i had not begun to ask..... like. -----why with one bill should the office tv get different chanels than anotehr in the same house... is it the "did you want one asprin or two" like teh hospital billing.... they gave me one super box thing AND A SECOND ONE IS ANOTHER   $4.18 A MONTH?? -- IF TRUE.  WYHY IS IT IN THT OFFICE WHER3 NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHENING ANYWAY????

SO PLEASE-- IT IS ABOUT ....MY RELUCTANT PHONE---LETS TRY for another. cp help--  TAKES ME 10 SWIPES TO TURN IT ON -- AND YESTERDDAY .. IT JUST PLAIN WOULD NOT.-- I AM TOLD I NEED ANOTEHR AS THIS BATTERY IS SO OLD I ONLY GET ONE PHONE CALL AND IT GOES DEAD... 
SO EVERYBODY... WHAT SHOULD I BUY TO BE ABLE TO PHONE, TXT AND TAKE PICTURES???? I THINK MY IDEAL WOUOLD BE SOMETHIGNSTRAPPED TO MY ARM AT 5AM EVERY DAY.  WITH THE ADDED ATTRACTIO OF BEING WATERPROOF ----I COULD THEN CARRY A  MAGNIFYING GLASS AROUND MY NECK---- ALONG WITH A PEN WITH THE FAKE FINGER SOFT END....TO TOUCH THE SCREEN... HOPEFULLY....I HAVE THE SEVERE LIMITATION OF  FAT SHAKEY FINGERS.OR Have it operational by screaming at it-- i could do that.

of teh 133 adult care centers judy and i went to----i can totally understand why 131 of them were non functioning because of a lost remote. it was wireless...
it all goes back to the origin of computers and teh  word "if" 
somebody took  a simple calculater and  rewired it. so instead of turning it on and typing  2+2  which would then =4, you could turn it on  tyoe in 2+2 and it would say 
'if you type in my secret number  i will give you the correct answer... otherwise enjoy our advertising for  birch bark canoes."  and teh password industry was born.

maybe i can still write  a  program...like eliminating duplicates in a  list of  1000. names....I HAD TO SKIP A FEW CONCEPTS BUT THE IDEA IS TEHER???  

0900 x=0
1000.  open file "A"
1010 open file "B"
1015 x=x+1 
1016 IF x =1001 GOTO 1070
1020 read 'A' line  x "name 1"
1025 x=x+1
1030. read  "A". line x"name 2"
1040 if if name 1 = name 2
1050 goto 1015
 1055  write name 1 in file "B"
1060 goto 1015
1070. close A
1080 close B
1090 stop

  oh boys... does that work???  it has been a while.

MIGHT WORK IF THERE WERE ONLY DUPLICATES.   NO TRIPPLES

it is teh ability  for a machine to make a decision ... and that is the word "IF".  
you can get so many  "if's " strung togethere you can really get screwed up...

to me that is how you make a computer work. -- it was all black screen and white instructions.
given a program like that to run, you would have your list. of 1000 names all listed without dupliocates in less that 3 seconds.

it is much better now,'you turn on the computer and it wishes your aunt louise birthday wishes and tells you  it is snowing in faIRBAKKS ALASKA.. all in color...
i had a wonderful career when everything was black and white...
now i am black and blue.
