Note:<999> 12/14/05 Wednesday 5:05 A.M.: I will now run Norton Win Doctor, Ad-awareSE Personal Edition, Windows Update, Norton Update, System Restore backup, and then I will do a C: drive backup to the D: drive with Windows XP Professional Automatic System Recovery. Thus I will be off line for a while. While doing the backup, I will have breakfast. This will all take about two hours. CIO Note:<999> 12/14/05 Wednesday 4:45 A.M.: I chatted with a relative after the last message, and my other relative whom did not feel well is doing better. I chatted with another relative. I took a warm bath, and I cleaned up before going to bed. I woke up at 1 A.M.. I watched a short program about raising obelisks in Egypt in the old days. Somebody must know how do it here, since we have one in front of the Greenwich Post Office. I had a old brass tray that I used to have my Golden Pathos plant sitting on, and it was a bit corroded, so I cleaned it scoured it with pot scrubbing soap solution, and it looks better. I then took the items off the Danish end table bar in the living room, and I dusted it and the items. I then put the brass tray on the Danish bar with the three large brass candlesticks and the various small flags of recognition, so it looks more colorful. I also put the Westchester Country Club ice bucket on the back side left with the pewter bowl and Revere bowl and Delft bowl with the Field Club trophy, and the stag head silver bottle holder is in the front middle of the brass tray with the French flag in it. I move the Suds beer pitcher and the wine fiasco to on top of the refrigerator. I moved the large rice bowl with the lose items on the dining room table to the side board in the bedroom, and I put out the large glass bowl with wooden pineapple in it and the two Canadian Goose wooden serving spoon and fork. It is handy to have on the dining table, since it can be used for pasta or salad dishes. I put the large red candle from the Danish end table bar to the front center of the mahogany bureau. I moved the red disposable plastic cups into the bar supply cupboard beneath the center hallway bookcase. I am charging up the Radio Shack rechargeable batteries on the Vivitar digital camera, and I have regular batteries in it for now. Thus the Danish end table bar area looks better, and dining table looks neater despite the three printers on it. Since my primary activity for the last 16 years has been computer activity, it is important to maintain and display properly the computer equipment, and it is not just a bunch of junk items. I work very hard to maintain it all, and I have spent probably over 100,000 hours or more in the activity on a limited budget which involves quite a bit of money at my own expense and my family's help www.geocities.com/mikelscott/computer.htm , so maintaining and displaying my computer work area activity is very important to me. That is why I keep a close eye on my apartment environment, and I would most strongly object to anyone trying to sabotage or use my computer equipment, and I think since IBM www.ibm.com is also in the area, there are probably a large number of high paid lawyers in this area whom would agree with me. Thus I do not entertain guests or have visitors in my apartment, and I treat it like a home office. Pictures follow http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/mike-scott-living-room-danish-end-table-bar-1-121405.JPG http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/mike-scott-living-room-danish-end-table-bar-2-121405.JPG . I also put the British Union Jack back up in the apartment on the right hallway bookcase, because the poorly informed local U.S.A. representatives in this area do not seem to be informed about whom I am or what my position is in this area as far as the U.S.A. government is concerned. CIO Note:<999> 12/13/05 Tuesday 6:05 P.M.: I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. I am really tired from all of the computer work that I have been doing recently. I have not been getting my usual amount of sleep, and since I am disabled, I tend to wear out. I will eat two scoops of Edy's low fat slow churn coffee ice cream before I go to bed. CIO Note:<999> 12/13/05 Tuesday 5:50 P.M.: I went through my email. CIO Note:<999> 12/13/05 Tuesday 5:40 P.M.: A relative is not well, and I am not feeling too well myself. CIO Note:<999> 12/13/05 Tuesday 5:00 P.M.: Microsoft has been to trial so much, they giving you free trials Windows Server 2003 R2 Trial Software . CIO Note:<999> 12/13/05 Tuesday 4:55 P.M.: Microsoft One Note free trial Reviews and free downloads at Download.com . CIO Note:<999> 12/13/05 Tuesday 4:50 P.M.: Konica Minolta Magicolor 2400W Recertified 2400x600 dpi 20ppm5ppm color Laser Printer 5250220100REC at TigerDirect.com $230 . CIO Note:<999> 12/13/05 Tuesday 4:25 P.M.: I usually do not clean up, when I stay home, and with the money that I save by not taking a hot shower, and I can afford to keep the apartment a little bit warmer. I printed out a laser copy of my Christmas letter http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/xmas2005.htm , and I used a blue and a yellow push pin to post it on the laundry room bulletin board downstairs for my neighbors to be amused by. CIO Note:<999> 12/13/05 Tuesday 3:25 P.M.: I scanned and printed two copies of the Lexmark E238 shipping slip and outside box label with serial number, and I put the those with the other printer material information in the metal file holder on the mahogany bureau in the bedroom. I left the two CDs and Quick Reference guide in English on top of the Lexmark X1128 all purpose machine. I put the Lexmark E238 shipping box with its packing material on top of the speaker on top of the file cabinet in the bedroom, so it is out of the way. I registered the printer with Lexmark Lexmark survey . CIO Note:<999> 12/13/05 Tuesday 2:35 P.M.: I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 75% mixture of cold orange juice with a 25% mixture of cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with a package of Splenda and a little bit of milk in the coffee. I had three no person type fax calls, and since I do not like wasting paper with junk fax calls, I do not own a fax machine, but I can send a fax with my computer setup, but I do not have it set up to receive fax mail. I chatted with a relative who raised canaries in Texas, and I could hear the birds chirping in the back ground. I noticed on the Lexmark E238 laser printer box that it is made in China, so I guess although Lexmark use to have their corporate headquarters here in Greenwich, Connecticut after IBM sold their printer division to Lexmark, they then moved the Lexmark corporate headquarters to Lexington, Kentucky where a old Taft classmate Hunt Collins was from. I learned about a lot about the Collins family in the old days, since a lot of people use to have a drink called a Tom Collins. My relative said although Well Fargo Security no longer exists, they still have a bank on the West Coast of America. I think they use to protect Gold Shipments from California in the Old Days of the 49ers, and they developed a reputation for always apprehending their Most Wanted people on their famous Most Wanted posters. It seems they are still in business Wells Fargo Wanted Posters . CIO Note:<999> 12/13/05 Tuesday 12:55 P.M.: I installed the Lexmark E238 drivers on the four backup computers in my apartment that work through the Siemens router to the Printer Port Box to print to the Lexmark E238 laser printer. Since it is not a local port with the Siemens router, the Lexmark local printer settings program will not work on the four backup computers, because for that to work, it has be USB or direct LPT parallel port , connection. However, the backup computers all do print fine on the Lexmark E238 laser printer and it is set up as the default printer on all of them, and their device drivers have settings programs for controlling the print activity. I installed the manual on the Northgate Syntax and the Dell L1000R computers as well. While the backup computers were up and running, I installed some updates. I also cleaned the top CD player laser lens with the AT&T lens cleaner. I thus used about 12 sheets of paper for testing the Lexmark laser paper, but I think it is worth it to know that it works. I keep my old test paper for grocery lists and other scrap paper, and it is stacked underneath the Lexmark E238 laser printer in the lower level of the printer stand. About a year ago, I threw out about a 18 inch high stack of scrap paper that I had saved, since I figured it would be recycled. I went downstairs, and I picked up my mail. I chatted with some neighbors who I see more of, since I am not going out as much anymore. I got my new year 2006 Social Security statement, and my SSI benefits are being raised from $579 a month to $601, but last week I received notification from the state of Connecticut that my Food Stamps are being lowered from $102 to $91 a month, thus in total benefits, I will only get a $13 a month cost of living increase, which would be about a 1.9 percent cost of living increase for the year 2006. As an Economist in this area, I think the cost of living as gone up more than 1.9%, but the government has a lot of people to deal with in those programs, so they keep the percentages down. It would take an act of congress for them to be anymore. Thus we all know electricity, gasoline, and powdered milk have gone up a lot, so I suppose, whatever bread basket index of economic indicators the government looks at must relate to former military employees shopping at their local PX or Commissary, if you happen to be fortunate enough to live near one. Gasoline to get to one, also costs money. I scanned the two letters with the Lexmark X1185 all purpose machine, and I printed out two copies on the Minolta laser printer, which is cheaper to operate than the Lexmark for now. Don't worry sooner or later the Lexmark machines will also get a bit of printing use too. Since I really have never been in the United Kingdom, and since I really do not know anyone over there, although I have met a few people from there over the years, I decided it would be more user friendly to the host government paying for my own citizenship benefits if I also flew their flag for a while, so I rotated the large British flag with the large U.S.A. flag on the right hallway bookcase. Since I am also half Dutch, and my dear mother and her relatives are 100% Dutch American, I will continue to leave the Dutch flag flying. I am still waiting for the AMD Athlon XP-3000 2.167GHz 512K 400MHz CPU OEM, Consumer Electronics, PC Accessories that I bought OEM for $88.40 plus $16.15 priority mail shipping and handling for $104.55 to arrive by Priority U.S.A. mail, but with the Holiday Season even, Priority Mail might be a bit slower. Earlier I chatted with a relative whom reminded me that in the olds in Greenwich, when some of the local people were more affluent, they use to employ Wells Fargo Security, but alas I think even Well Fargo has gone out of business. CIO Note:<999> 12/13/05 Tuesday 8:50 A.M.: I was awake at 4 A.M.. I disconnect the HP LaserJet IID power cord from the lower control panel on the primary computer, and I plugged it into the power strip at the left side. One can still turn on the power with to the HP LaserJet IID printer with the switch at its near rear corner behind the Lexmark 1185 all in one printer. I opened up the Lexmark E238 laser printer box Lexmark E238 -- Lexmark United States , and I read its simple instructions. First I ran the Lexmark software on my computer to the point where one connects the printer. I then removed the Lexmark E238 printer from its packaging, and I opened up the front door of its compartment, and I removed the packaging off the toner cartridge, and I reinstalled the toner cartridge. I then put in about 150 sheets of Staples laser copy paper. One is suppose to fan and twist the paper before inserting it. I attached the rear piece of plastic. I placed it on the IBM Plexiglas printer stand to the left of the Minolta laser printer. I had already attached it power cable to the lower level primary computer control panel. The Lexmark E238 has a power switch on the back, so it is easier to turn on and off from the control panel. Plus the control panel is protected by the Ground Fault Interrupter power strip it is plugged into. I then plugged in the USB cable for it and turned on the Lexmark E238 laser printer, and I continued the Lexmark software installation to completion, and the printer was recognized by Windows XP. I then did a test print out, and it works just fine. I then renamed the Lexmark printer icon in the XP printer folder "Lexmark Laser E238 USB". I then disconnected the USB cable from the printer, and I ran the Lexmark software again, and this time I installed it as a parallel printer after I connected the parallel cable from the printer port box connected to the Siemens router. I then rebooted, and I changed the Lexmark E238 printer parallel port to the Siemens router port, and I renamed it "Lexmark Laser E238 Siemens". I tested it, and it worked just fine. I then reconnected the USB cable, and I tested both ports again to make sure they both worked while both are connected. I then copied the manual from the second CD to my C: drive, and I put a shortcut on the desktop to the manual. I then booted in Vista beta 1 build 5231, and I tried to install the Lexmark printer software, but it prompted me to install it from the Vista beta printer folder. With the Lexmark E238 still connected to both parallel and USB cables, I used the Vista beta Add Printer wizard, and I connected it to the Siemens port, but the Lexmark E238 driver would not install, but the Vista beta has a driver for the E234 which is a similar machine, and I installed that driver without any problems. I tested it, and it worked. I then had to determine by booting back into XP which USB port the Lexmark E238 was on, but in XP, it only showed USB 5, but in Vista it showed 7 USB ports. By trial and error, I figured it was USB 6 port, and I installed it to the Lexmark E234 driver, and I tested it, and it worked just fine in Vista beta 1 build 5231 from either port. I changed the printer names in the icons from "Lexmark E234" to "Lexmark Laser E238 Siemens" and "Lexmark Laser E238 USB". My Minolta QMS PagePro 1250W in Vista beta 1 build 5231 is on the USB 7 port. I test it to make sure it still worked while the Lexmark was installed and turned on, and they both work just fine together. I then put a small label with Scotch tape over it with "Lex Laser" above the lower control panel switch that controls the power to the Lexmark E238 laser printer. I next copied the manual to the Vista E: drive, and I created a short cut to it on the desktop. I will install the Lexmark E238 software on my other four computers connected to the Siemens router, so they will all be able to print out on the Lexmark E238 laser printer Lexmark E238 -- Lexmark United States, once the software is installed.

Note:<999> 12/12/05 Monday 9:40 P.M.: I moved the Lexmark box with the E238 laser printer to on top of the chair to the right of the Orion television in the bedroom beneath the stereo system. I chatted with a relative. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed for the night. I guess I am now back on a day schedule for a while. It is suppose to be 15 degrees Fahrenheit at 7 A.M. tomorrow morning Greenwich, Connecticut (06830) Conditions & Forecast : Weather Underground with some sleet coming up on Thursday and Friday and possibly some Frosty the Snow Man stuff if you get my drift Weather Hazards for Southern Fairfield, CT . However, at my young age of 55, I will survive, but this man at age 69 tomorrow has seen warmer days in his youth in Kenya where ever he might be remember Tuesday December 13, 2005 is His Highness the Aga Khan's 69th Birthday , so if like his grandfather he gets his weight in precious jewels for his birthday for charities, if he is fat charities get more money, but if he is skinny they get less money. However, since he is a medical Doctor, he tends to be on the thin side. Maybe they should weigh is wife to save money http://www.geocities.com/mikelscott/agakhan01.jpg . I have a theory about some of his wealth since he is a Swiss citizen raised in Kenya. Since his well advertised grandfather was the World's richest person, more than likely the current Aga Khan besides being the head of the Shea Muslims His Highness the Aga Khan - A Birthday Tribute , his family also has personal wealth. His family has had a modest house here in Greenwich, Connecticut since 1922, and they started the United Nations. He was high commissioner for refugees at the United Nations for about 10 years in the late 1980s and early 1990s while his children were going to school here in America. He is also suppose to have about 650 other homes around the world including the house in Switzerland where Gorbachev and Reagan held their summit to bring an end to the cold war. He also has a 600 room plus villa on the Isle of Capri. Most his homes would be like embassies, since he represents a larger population. Since his father was living in Pakistan when Royal Dutch Shell was started by somebody in Pakistan, more than likely he has large investments in Royal Dutch Shell. Since he is a Swiss Citizen, he is probably a large stockholder in Nestle, which owns Great Waters of France and www.perrier.com across the road from me. Thus more than likely the real Aga Khan would more than likely have accountants, lawyers, bankers, and other financial advisers taking care of his affairs. As a Swiss Citizen, he would be legally a political neutral. I do not know if he mingles with the general public when in this area, but he more than likely was seen quite a bit around the United Nations when he took the post there. So remember December 13, 2005 would be when his followers might donate his weight in precious jewels. Of course the charities more than likely are in his part of the world, where there more than likely are a lot of needy people. Of course Queen Beatrice Het Koninklijk Huis sent me a Christmas card last year done by "Save the Children" Save the Children: Helping Children in Poverty and Children in Crisis , so she has her own charities. Bon Soir. CIO Note:<999> 12/12/05 Monday 8:40 P.M.: UPS just made the delivery, but I am a bit tired, so I will not try to install the Staples.com®. that was easy™. Lexmark E238 for $179.98 less $36 online coupon and $80 online Easy Rebate for $64 plus tax and free shipping that I ordered it for $143.98 plus $8.64 tax for $152.62 with free shipping and I filled out the $80 Easy Rebate online Staples Easy Rebates , so after I receive the $80 rebate in a month, it will cost me $72.62 total is UPS Package Tracking Lexmark E238 laser printer from Staples for Mike Scott . I left it sitting on my television chair for now. If you do not believe, here is a picture of the box http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/lexmark-e238-laser-printer-with-microsoft-vista-beta-1-build-5231-on-primary-computer-in-back-ground-with-grandad-boven-portrait-in-background-121205.JPG. CIO Note:<999> 12/12/05 Monday 7:50 P.M.: Alas, although I am half Dutch, since my mother is 100% Dutch, I never know what the Dutch are talking about, since I do not speak Dutch. I am told, they know a little bit of English that they learn from tourists in the Netherlands. Still I do have the Dutch flag in the apartment, but alas with the Big Cat Rockefellers ruling the town with Exxon as their private toy, Royal Dutch Shell does not pull much weight in this area. However, since the Dutch have been in this neck of the woods supposedly for so long of a time, they supposedly have quite a large amount of investments. About the only sign left of the Dutch around here, the last time I looked about 15 years ago, KLM www.klm.com had a modest office over in White Plains, New York to help the Rockefellers move their diamonds around, but I suppose this family is suppose to know something about the Dutch, so maybe you should check with them Het Koninklijk Huis . CIO Note:<999> 12/12/05 Monday 7:40 P.M.: The UPS delivery I am waiting for has been out for delivery since 4:45 A.M. this morning, and it weighs 35 pounds, so I hope he has a cart. I went outside, and I checked the area, and there was no sign of UPS yet. However, this time of year, they make much later deliveries than 8 P.M. to get all of their orders out on time. My relatives live near one of the owners of UPS in Vero Beach, Florida TCPalm , and he is building a new $25 million dollar house on the beach there. Thus for the owners, UPS must be fairly profitable, but it is also an expensive business to run with all the trucks, warehouses, and planes using lots of expensive energy. I made dinner of Michael Louis Scott's Pork and Beans with Franks , which I ate with a glass of iced tea. CIO Note:<999> 12/12/05 Monday 6:30 P.M.: I installed www.livemeeting.com on the primary XP computer. I did a door bell check. The bedroom door bell with the "Blue Bells of Scotland" chime works fine, but the living room wireless tone system is a little slow on the signal, so maybe it needs its batteries replaced, or I have too much electrical interference in the signal. CIO Note: <888> 12/12/05 Monday 5:55 P.M.: I have been working with Michael Louis Scott's Microsoft Vista Beta Notes . I chatted with a friend, and I cancelled my 4 P.M. appointment because I am too tired. I am still waiting for UPS, but at this time of the year, they are busy, and I am at the end of their route. CIO Note: <888> 12/12/05 Monday 10:30 A.M.: I was up at 6 A.M.. I have been configuring Vista since then Michael Louis Scott's Microsoft Vista Beta Notes .

I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. It has been a busy weekend, and I have been awake for the last 27 hours. CIO Note: <888> 12/11/05 Sunday 4:20 P.M.: Remember Tuesday December 13, 2005 is His Highness the Aga Khan's 69th Birthday , so if like his grandfather he gets his weight in precious jewels for his birthday for charities, if he is fat charities get more money, but if he is skinny they get less money.
