you know it's gonna be another challanging day when you turn on your computer and it says......" We're sorry but"
back when i worked with an ibm-- and had everything on disks-- which i backked up and kept in the guest house-
i kknew i had a list of the wantad's 4500 variety stores which carried the wantad on my computer and a second
i kknew i had a list of the wantad's 4500 variety stores which carried the wantad on my computer and a second
file in the guest house.
things are much easier now -- my entire blog is on this computer.. and in the cloud----- oh really???? well why can
my computer not find any of teh old DDies here-- or there in this. mystery cloud they talk about.... probably just a sales gimic..
in the good old days i would grab that disk and copy out the file and be all set...
now i can scream all i want and all the old 3700 daily doggies are floated off in the hinterland somewhere in the mind of God.
it is said that haley is a mac person....lynn is not.. (see old daily doggie on teh topic of a binary american social system now)
and haley might be able to straighten it out... i said i would make a list --
it does not sound like much--- but a non functioning caps lock can really screw up your daily life.
especially when the computer ....in it's wisdom ....will not let you see what you have typed...
get too many guesses wrong and you are not allowed in that file for 16 hours-- that is just the start...
i have 3 "download" folders SOMEWHERE.......depending on which of my 8 google names i am signed in under...
with the 8 passwords i can not figure out
with the ibm, i used to fear the word "format". which would take any area/disk and totally reduce it to blank....
very helpful if you indeed wanted to do that... nearly a disaster if you did not-- BUT.....you could take your discs to a format fixer
who would for great expense "get your files back" like the fbi would--
when indeed all that happened to mark the disc as blank wqs the the first notTION OF THAT FILE WOULD BE CHANGED TO A BLANK
SO THIS FIXER -- AT GREAT EXPENSE-- JUST TOLD THE MACHINE TO START THE FILE IN POSITION #2.. OR SOME SUCH..
IN MY IDEAL WORLD-- I WOUOLD LIKE TO BACK UP THE DAILY DOGGIE-- IN CASE SOMEONE WANTS TO WRITE A BOOK. IT IS ALREADY DONE..
MY FINANCIAL FILES...-IN CASE TH E IRS COMES POKING IT'S COLD NOSE...-- THEN JUST CLEAR OUT THE REST... IT IS ALL DRIFTED AWAY IN THIS CLOUT THEY SIAD I COUOD NEVEE FILLL--------- ESPECIALLY IF I BUY MORE SPACE????? ---I COULD NEVER FIND IT ANYWAY..
THEN PUT BACK ON MICRO WORD AND EXCEEL AND LEAVE ME ALONE !!!! I DON'T CARE IF YOU CAN TRANSLATE ALL THIS INTO CZECH EVERY SECOND THURSDAY IF IT IS RAINING IN AUSTRALIA.-- IF I NEED THAT DONE I WILL HAND CARRY IT TO SOMEWHERE ELSE...
KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID...
PROGRAMMERS..... JUST BECAUSE YOU COULD... DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD.. TOO MANY "IF" STATEMENT WILL DRIVE ANYONE NUTS.
SO NOW GO MEMORIZE"IF" BY RUDYARD KIIPLING-- AND THAT IS ABOUT WHERE WE HAVE LANDED SO FAR.
?HOW DID RUDYARD KNOW ABOUT THE INTERNET WAY BACK WHEN????
Lighten up world !! last night at mail call i thought i made some joke regarding the "boys in the barn" which.... when i was a kid... was referring to a quartette of beer drinking singers who were really quite good...........and someone criticized me for making disparaging remarks about someone in the barn... is that a person just sitting home waiting for me to do some mistake so they can criticize me???
sdp is divided into a couple divisions. upper and lower... as in house dogs and barn dogs... and then a second split. dogs and horses... unless there is some emergency... and then we are one group of crazy acres people ------ how's that for describing the national dilemma ?
not wanting to get out of bed anyway, i tried to think of something to achieve good natured competition between "sides..." and drifited into snow///. winter.... and ice sculptures--- which went to ... why here wherre at sdp. no one coudlsee them-- sooooo ... hood pond??? which -- being a lake... thin ice alsways makes me nervous... why not topsfield farigrounds... if i offered $1000 prize money to the scout troop with the best ice sclpture .. it could give them an outdoor project-- under relative control.. and the public coudl drive by and look....
or thatt could become a parking lot ice sclpture... how many malls and office buildings end up with a huge pile of snow--- what would happen if. GE ( generl electric in lynn) declared ice sclulpture war on the cummings cernter in beverly-- they could charge it up to public relations.... and provide the community a diversion in the meantime...
have we lost the ability to enjoy. effort for effort's sake?? a yearly tradition which always cheered me .. is whenMIT. re assembles a police cruiser on top of the mit dome.-- makes no sense... but. every time i have seen that.. i have grinned ear to ear. THIS IS SOMETHING I TOTALLY ENJOYED IN BRITAIN... WIPED ME RIGHT OUT TO SEE A GUY IN A DIAPER PLAYING THE SAXAPHONE ON THE MAIN STREET OF EDINBURGH-- AND MY BRITISH FRIENDS EXPLAINED HE WAS COLLECTING MONEY FOR HIS FAVORTIE CHARITY.. I KNEW OF ABSOLUTELY NOTHING INTHE USA WHICH COUOLD SUSTAIN THAT SOBER END OF THAT EPISODE... ON OCASSION...FOR MY ENTIRE YEAR THERE I WOULD COME TO A SIMILAR OFF THE WALL "HAPPENING". WHICH EVENTUALLY RESULTED IN MONTY PYTHON. AND THE WOMAN WHO SAT IN TH COFFEE SHOP- PROBABLY NEAR THE GUY WITH. THE SAX... AND WROTE THE BOOKS ABOUT HARRY POTTER.....? YOU LAUGH? SHE LAUGHED ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK...Thank you for your to time, patience and creative thought process teaching Josh (and I) and ensuring we had/knew where to find everything we needed to be successful! I don’t think we could have done this without you!
