Note: <888> 08/29/04 Sunday 3:45 P.M.: For my meal, I took a 14.75 ounce can of Bumble Bee Alaska King salmon that I procured back on sale at CVS early this June when it was on sale for .99 a can as it is this week. I removed the lid, and I used the lid to squeeze out the water. I then put the canned salmon on a dinner plate, and I picked through it with my fingers about a half inch diameter section at a time removing all the quarter inch in diameter small bones that felt hard to the fingers. I do this very carefully so as not to have any bones in the salmon. I then put it in the Cuisinart food processor with a third of a cup of Arnold regular cut seasoned croutons, 1/8th of a teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, a dash of ground pepper, a few dashes of celery salt, and 1/8th of a teaspoon of Italian spices and a tablespoon of La Choy low salt soy sauce, and I ran the Cuisinart food processor until it was an even consistency removing the lid occasionally to mix it with a mixing spoon, so all of the ingredients were evenly mixed together. I then formed the salmon mixture into three round paddies about 3/4 inch in diameter, and I put them on a plate to have available for cooking. I then rinsed in a steel bowl under hot water a cup of Carolina enriched rice, and I then put the rice in a wire strainer, and I rinsed it underneath hot water, and I put the rice in the China Village Rice cooker with 14 ounces of water, a teaspoon of sesame oil, a tablespoon of olive oil, a tablespoon of La Choy low salt soy sauce, a few dashes of Old Bay seasoning, 1/8th of a teaspoon of Italian spices, a couple dashes of ground pepper, a few dashes of celery salt, a couple of dashes of India hot curry, and a few dashes of Chinese five spice seasoning. I put the inner and out lids on the China Village rice cooker, and I put in the General Electric microwave oven on high for 11 minutes. I then let it sit for five minutes with the lid on after cooking, so the rice absorbs the moisture. Ten minutes before the rice is finished sitting, I put four tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan, and I brought it to a simmer over medium high electric burner heat about four minutes time, and then I put the three salmon patties in the frying pan, and I cooked them two and a half minutes a side until brown on the outside, and then I added about tablespoon of La Choy low salt soy sauce and a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, and I let them simmer for about two minutes on one side, and then I flipped them and added about tablespoon of La Choy low salt soy sauce and a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, and I simmered them another two minutes on the second side. I took half of the rice, and I spread it about a half inch thick over a regular size dinner plate, and I put the thee salmon cakes evenly spaced on the rice with any remaining cooking juices on them. I then sprinkled on a coating of grated Romano cheese on each salmon cake, and I sprinkled a little dried parsley on them. I had the meal with a glass of iced tea. I put away my laundry. Earlier today before I went out, and I refilled the Glade plug-in scent refill by prying off the lid with a screw driver, and with a tiny funnel I keep on the Danish bar, I filled it about 60% full with English Leather cologne and about 40% 90% isopropyl alcohol, and I put the lid back on, and I reused the refill. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go back out. CIO Note: <888> 08/29/04 Sunday 2:05 P.M.: I was up at 9 A.M., and I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry jam, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I put clean linens on the bed in the bedroom. I showered and cleaned up. I went downtown, and I stopped by the Exxon gasoline station next to the Greenwich Library, and I bought $6 of regular unleaded gasoline at $2.239 a gallon for about 29 miles per gallon usage this week. I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out at various locations. I stopped by CVS, and I bought two 10 ounce cans of CVS smoked almonds for $1.99 a can for $3.98 total. I noticed they have 14.75 ounce cans of Bumble Bee Alaska salmon on sale for .99 a can. I chatted with another downtown resident. I then completed my walk. I drove down by the waterfront. I then returned home, and I drank some iced tea. I started two loads of laundry, and I have a few minutes to go on the wash cycle. CIO Note: <888> 08/28/04 Saturday 11:00 P.M.: I read one note that the Nvidia driver and XP SP2 might cause the Zinio Reader not to work. I tried disabling hardware acceleration and Direct X 3D, but the Zinio Reader still did not work. I turned on all the Performance settings. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO Note: <888> 08/28/04 Saturday 10:05 P.M.: I heard some fireworks going off about fifteen minutes ago. I tried reinstalling the Zinio Reader again. It does not seem to want to work with Windows XP SP2. I have not been able to get it to work, since I installed XP SP2. The Zinio site does not say anything about XP SP2. I also uninstalled the latest Nvidia driver, and I am using the 5.2.16 driver dated 10/06/03. The latest Nvidia driver says it has not passed the XP compatibility test. CIO Note: <888> 08/28/04 Saturday 9:10 P.M.: I ate two scoops of Hagen Daz low fat raspberry sorbet. CIO Note: <888> 08/28/04 Saturday 8:25 P.M.: I went through my email. I ran Ad-aware Personal SP. I ran Norton Win Doctor 2003. I ran CCleaner. CIO Note: <888> 08/28/04 Saturday 6:30 P.M.: I rested until 5 P.M.. I watched some television. I finished off eating the container of Hagen Daz low fat chocolate yogurt ice cream about one scoop. I replaced the burned out 100 watt light bulb next to the television above the Queen Elizabeth II Life magazine coronation portrait with a 40 watt bulb, since the lower wattage light bulb will make looking at the television easier. CIO Note: <888> 08/28/04 Saturday 2:15 P.M.: I went outside, and I picked up the mail. I made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm . I had the salad with all of the usual ingredients. For the cheddar cheese portion, I used Stop and Shop New York extra sharp cheddar cheese. I had the salad with a glass of iced tea. I will now shut down the computer. I will take a nap, and then I will clean up, and I will go out. CIO Note: <888> 08/28/04 Saturday 12:50 P.M.: I finished updating and a few minor tweaks on the backup computers. I shut them all down. When I tested restarting the Linksys 8 port hub in the bedroom with one of the backup computers, it started up and went online without any problems. CIO Note: <888> 08/28/04 Saturday 11:55 A.M.: I started the backup computer in the bedroom, and I had a problem getting the Linksys 8 port hub to go online. I tried the 8 port hub from the Dell backup computer, and there was still a problem. When I put the 8 port hub back on the Dell backup computer, it would not go online. I disconnected the USB cable that went to the cable modem from the D-Link hub, and my hubs started working. I guess it was causing a conflict with the hubs working off the Siemens router. I connected that shorter USB gold cable to the Minolta QMS PagePro 1250W laser printer from the same four port hub that I had the longer USB cable on. I put the longer USB cable back in the cable box underneath the desk in the living room. I have connected to the Dell backup computer 8 port hub two 14 foot LAN cables and two 24 foot LAN cables ready to use in the living room. I have them coiled with wire ties on them to keep them from becoming tangled. The Linksys 8 port hub is working in the bedroom, but to get it to work, I connected the fifty foot cable from the living room Siemens router to the #8 port instead of the uplink port. I have the five backup computers in the bedroom connected to it along with two 14 foot LAN cables. I am running maintenance updates on the backup computers in the bedroom. Since all of the computers are coming off the Siemens router, there is additional firewall protection from the Siemens router. On some of the bedroom computer network cards, I had to set them to 10 MBS full duplex instead of auto negotiate, and all five computers seem to be running just fine. I will turn them all off as soon as I finish the updates to see if the Linksys 8 port hub starts up and connects from shut down with the computers turned off and then started. CIO Note: <888> 08/28/04 Saturday 8:20 A.M.: Happy Birthday to a long lost friend. I was up at 5 A.M., and I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry jam, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I went back to bed until 7:30 A.M., when the Radio Shack personal talking electronic alarm clock went off by mistake. I set it not to go off. CIO End of Scott's Notes week of 08/27/04: Note: <888> 08/27/04 Friday 8:25 P.M.: I will now send out my weekly email notes. I will then shut down the computer, and I will go to bed. CIO Note: <888> 08/27/04 Friday 8:20 P.M.: I reheated the other half of the rice that I made today, and I ate it with a glass of iced tea. CIO Note: <888> 08/27/04 Friday 7:55 P.M.: I reinstalled the Zinio Reader. CIO Note: <888> 08/27/04 Friday 7:25 P.M.: I ran some maintenance utilities on the Dell backup computer. I put the iced tea in the refrigerator. CIO Note: <888> 08/27/04 Friday 6:35 P.M.: I took the speaker off the top of the small bookcase in the bathroom, and I put it on the lower shelf on the left side. I filled the rest of the lower shelf with older periodical literature, and I put the remaining periodical literature on the left side of the top shelf, and most of the top shelf is free. The top of the bookcase has a duck placemat on it centered to the right, and the two candles and candle holders on the left of the top. Thus most of the top of the bookcase is free for placing items on a temporary basis for bathroom use. Also on the IBM Cyrix backup computer that I set up on the right side of the Danish desk in the bedroom, I have it set to turn on with the control panel for the AMD backup computer with the printer and aux1 switches. CIO Note: <888> 08/27/04 Friday 6:00 P.M.: I did a System Restore backup. I ran Ad-aware SE. CIO Note: <888> 08/27/04 Friday 5:15 P.M.: I microwaved a bag of Act II low fat popcorn, which I ate with a glass of iced tea. I watched some television while eating the popcorn. I am now making up a fresh batch of www.geocities.com/mikelscott/icetea.htm . CIO Note: <888> 08/27/04 Friday 4:25 P.M.: I went out after the last message. I went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. What little remains is half price and $15 a bag for linens and clothes. I then drove downtown, and I drove down by the waterfront. I next drove over to Tod's Point, and I sat out for a while at the southwest picnic area. It was not very busy at the beach. I then returned to central Greenwich, and I sat out downtown a while. I did not walk because it is later in the day for me, since I was up at 5 A.M.. I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I toured the building. The Greenwich Time was not available, but lots of people were enjoying the air conditioning at the library. However, it closes at 5 P.M. on Friday in July and August. I sat out at the library for a while cloud watching. I just now returned home, and I drank a glass of cold filtered water. CIO Note: <888> 08/27/04 Friday 11:40 A.M.: I did a little bit of internet work. For my meal, I took a 14.75 ounce can of Bumble Bee Alaska King salmon that I procured back on sale at CVS early this June when it was on sale for .99 a can. I removed the lid, and I used the lid to squeeze out the water. I then put the canned salmon on a dinner plate, and I picked through it with my fingers about a half inch diameter section at a time removing all the quarter inch in diameter small bones that felt hard to the fingers. I do this very carefully so as not to have any bones in the salmon. I then put it in the Cuisinart food processor with a third of a cup of Arnold regular cut seasoned croutons, a teaspoon of dried parsley, 1/8th of a teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, a dash of ground pepper, a few dashes of celery salt, and a quarter of a teaspoon of Italian spices, and I ran the Cuisinart food processor until it was an even consistency removing the lid occasionally to mix it with a mixing spoon, so all of the ingredients were evenly mixed together. I then formed the salmon mixture into three paddies about 3/4 inch in diameter, and I put them on a plate to have available for cooking. I then rinsed in a steel bowl under hot water a cup of Carolina enriched rice, and I then put the rice in a wire strainer, and I rinsed it underneath hot water, and I put the rice in the China Village Rice cooker with 14 ounces of water, a teaspoon of sesame oil, a tablespoon of olive oil, a few dashes of Old Bay seasoning, a quarter teaspoon of Italian spices, a couple dashes of ground pepper, a few dashes of celery salt, a couple of dashes of India hot curry, and a few dashes of Chinese five spice seasoning. I put the inner and out lids on the China Village rice cooker, and I put in the General Electric microwave oven on high for 11 minutes. I let it sit for five minutes with the lid on after cooking, so the rice absorbs the moisture. Ten minutes before the rice is finished sitting, I put four tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan, and I brought it to a simmer over medium high electric burner heat about four minutes time, and then I put the three salmon patties in the frying pan, and I cooked them two minutes a side until brown on the outside, and then I added about a sixth of a cup of Rene white wine and a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, and I let them simmer for about 90 seconds on one side, and then I flipped them and added about a six of a cup of Rene Junot white wine and a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, and I simmered them another 90 seconds on the second side. I took half of the rice, and I spread it about a half inch thick over a regular size dinner plate, and I put the thee salmon cakes evenly spaced on the rice with any remaining cooking juices on them. I then sprinkled on a generous coating of grated Romano cheese on each salmon cake, and I sprinkled a little dried parsley on them. I suppose in a restaurant, one could also sauté some skinny asparagus to put with them at the same time one cooked the salmon cakes, but I did not have any asparagus available. I had the meal with a glass of iced tea. I will now shut down the computer, and I will clean up, and I will go out. CIO Note: <888> 08/27/04 Friday 9:55 A.M.: I was up at 5 A.M.. I watched some television news. I had breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry jam, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I chatted with a friend. I did my house cleaning and watering the plants. The repaired Sears Kenmore upright vacuum cleaner works just fine. I disconnected the two foot tube from the hose, and I put it in its slot with the upholstery attachment, so the hose is more compact when one uses it for floor vacuuming. I had it set at low. I threw out the garbage including the bathroom waste basket garbage and paper. CIO Note: <888> 08/26/04 Thursday 8:55 P.M.: I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO Note: <888> 08/26/04 Thursday 8:50 P.M.: I happened to notice the first sign of winter when I was outside a little while ago. I saw a flock of Canadian Geese flying south in V formation. CIO Note: <888> 08/26/04 Thursday 8:05 P.M.: I went outside, and I chatted with some neighbors. CIO Note: <888> 08/26/04 Thursday 7:15 P.M.: I chatted with a couple of relatives.

CIO Note: <888> 08/26/04 Thursday 5:40 P.M.: I went out to my 3 P.M. appointment after the last message. I then went downtown, and I used the bathroom at the senior and arts center. I drank a cup of spring water there. I then walked upper Greenwich Avenue. I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store, and I toured CVS. I sat out at various locations. I just now returned home, and I drank a cold glass of filtered water. CIO Note: <888> 08/26/04 Thursday 2:25 P.M.: I chatted with a relative. I will now shut down the computer and go out. CIO Note: <888> 08/26/04 Thursday 1:50 P.M.: I went out after the last message, and I dropped off the Royal 17 inch monitor and the Dell generic 17 inch monitor at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. I then drove half way down Greenwich Avenue, and I returned home. I made up a fresh batch of home made hummus www.geocities.com/mikelscott/hummus.htm . I used two cloves of Elephant garlic. I made and ate my usual salad www.geocities.com/mikelscott/salad.htm . Instead of tuna fish, I used a tin of sardines that I chopped, and for the cheddar cheese portion, I used Stop and Shop New York extra sharp cheddar cheese. I used all of the other regular ingredients, but I used six sliced mushrooms instead of three sliced mushrooms. I ate the salad with a glass of iced tea. I threw out some garbage. I picked up my mail. I have a 3 P.M. appointment. CIO Note: <888> 08/26/04 Thursday 10:40 A.M.: I went out after the last message. I went downtown, and I walked lower Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out at various places. I then drove down by the waterfront. I next went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop, and I bought the two Dell M990 Documentation: Dell M990 Color Monitor User's Guide 19 inch monitors for half price for $10 each for $20 total. I then returned back to my apartment, and I used my cart that I keep in the back of my Hyundai hatchback to bring up the two Dell 19 inch monitors. I connected one to the Dell backup computer. I connected other to the AMD backup computer in the bedroom. I moved the CompUSA 19 inch monitor with the Gateway backup computer. I put the Dell Trinitron 17 inch monitor with HP Kayak XA backup computer. I put HP Ultra VGA 1280 17 inch monitor with the HP dual Pentium II backup computer. I put the generic Dell 17 inch monitor with the IBM Cyrix backup computer. The Dell M990 monitors were manufactured in the year 2000, and they had a retail price of $400 new. The Dell M990 monitor on the Dell backup computer has a slight 1/16 inch spec on it that won't come off, but it is not very noticeable. I will put the 17 inch Royal monitor and the 17 inch Dell generic monitor in my car and give them back to the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. I am not giving them the power cords, since I keep those for testing other units. I have lost five pounds, and I am down to 210 pounds weight. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go back out. I have a 3 P.M. appointment today. CIO Note: <888> 08/26/04 Thursday 6:50 A.M.: I will now shut down the computer, and I will eat a peanut butter sandwich with iced tea. I will then clean up, and I will go out. I have a 3 P.M. appointment today. CIO Note: <888> 08/26/04 Thursday 6:35 A.M.: I went to bed after the last message. About 9 P.M., I had a call from a fund raiser for the Greenwich Police Department. I explained at the end of the month that I do not have much money. The fund raiser kept being persistent, and I explained that I was the "Volunteer Chief" as in "Chief of Internet Volunteers" and as such I do not receive a compensation, and as such I can not afford to give money to the Greenwich Police Department. The fund raiser was very persistent, and I explained that over 20 private security agencies work this town along with the Secret Service and F.B.I.. The fund raiser hung up in a huff. I hope the fund raiser does not think that since I mentioned the figure 20 does not mean that I will give them $20. It would seem to me that the general public pays enough money in taxes to pay for the Greenwich Police department that if they can not afford anymore, they should not have to donate when they can not afford it. I found the caller very persistent and also calling at 9 P.M. at night was very late in my schedule yesterday after I had been asleep for over 2 hours. I woke up at 1:30 A.M., and I ate breakfast of oatmeal, toast with strawberry jam, orange juice, vitamins, supplements, and coffee. I then went back to bed until 6 A.M.. I watched the last five minutes of the ending of the movie "The Yellow Rolls Royce" which is one of my favorite movies. CIO Note: <888> 08/25/04 Wednesday 6:20 P.M.: I went outside, and I chatted with some neighbors. I checked the fluids underneath the hood of my car. I just chatted with a relative.

I ate a peanut butter sandwich with a glass of iced tea. CIO Note: <888> 08/25/04 Wednesday 4:05 P.M.: DHL www.airborne.com arrived with the package from Sears containing the two Sears Kenmore upright vacuum cleaner belts. One is a spare. I installed the belt on the Sears Kenmore upright vacuum cleaner. I will put the spare with the bags and belts on top of the clothes pack on the right side of the bedroom closet. CIO Note: <888> 08/25/04 Wednesday 3:20 P.M.: I went out after the last message. I went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue, and I sat out at various locations. I stopped by CVS, and I bought a 12 roll package of Scott 1000 sheet rolls of toilet paper for $5.99 and a liter bottle of CVS yellow mouth wash for $1.99 plus .48 tax for $8.46 total. I then completed my walk, and I drove down by the waterfront. I gave a copy on CD of Microsoft Windows XP SP2 RTM (released to manufacturing) on CD in Japanese to a former Japanese neighbor of mine. A few people were fishing. I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop, and I bought a Cobalt Blue with brass handle seltzer bottle made in Austria for $2.50 and 2 foot by 2 foot by 10 inch deep dark wood 2 shelf bookcase for $10. I then went by Putnam Trust Bank of New York on Mason Street. I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I chatted with a couple of regular users.

I then returned home. I brought up my purchases. I put the toilet paper in the bedroom closet with the other paper items. I put the yellow mouth wash on the rack in the bathroom. I put the food in the kitchen. I rinsed out the seltzer bottle, and I put in fresh water in it, and I charged it up with a CO2 cartridge, and I put it with the other three charged seltzer bottles on the lowest shelf of the rack at the bedroom entrance. I moved the Queen Elizabeth II whisky jug to on top of the Danish bar front and center. I then wiped the small bookcase with a damp cloth, and I polished it with spray furniture polish. I put it on the left wall just inside the bathroom. I put the stereo speaker on top of it sideways on the left, along with the cranberry color Old Harbor Candle Company candle holder from Hyannisport, Massachusetts and the large yellow candle in a green ceramic bowl. I took the folding oak dining tables that were there, and I put them on the left side entrance of the bedroom in front of the mirror hanging on the open door. I took the mahogany magazine rack that was there, and I emptied if of most of its contents, and I put the older magazines on the lower shelf of the bathroom bookcase. I move the steel music CD rack from the bedroom entrance to in front of the left side of the Danish bar to the left of the small brass and glass end table. I cleaned the magazine rack with a damp cloth, and I polished it with spray furniture polish. I move the other small brass and glass end table to the left side front of the long green sofa, and I still have the Nantucket ash tray on it, and I filled the Greenwich Country Club Zippo lighter and the United States Marine corps Zippo lighter with Ronson lighter fluid and both of the two Zippo lighters are in the Nantucket ashtray and working. I put the magazine rack at the left end of the maple side table on the near end of the blue sofa. I filled it with the more current magazines and other recreational reading. I went outside a few times, and I chatted with neighbors. DHL www.airborne.com arrived with a delivery from Sears www.sears.com of the eight Sears Kenmore upright vacuum cleaner bags. I guess they will deliver the two vacuum belts tomorrow. I put a new vacuum cleaner bag in the Sears Kenmore upright vacuum cleaner, and I put the remaining seven on the top of the hanging clothes pack on the right side of my bedroom closet with the vacuum bags for the Hoover upright and Electrolux units and the Hoover belts. I threw out the old vacuum bag. Yesterday, I put the spare light for the Sears Kenmore upright vacuum cleaner in my top left bedroom mahogany bureau drawer with other electrical items. CIO Note: <888> 08/25/04 Wednesday 7:10 A.M.: I moved the HP 4L laser printer from the right side of the AMD backup computer in the bedroom on the desk to on top of the HP 2D Laser Printer on the dining room table. I connected its power cord to the three plug adaptor that powers the other two HP laser printers off the control panel, and it is connected to the B: port on the control box on the wicker rack on the wall to the right of the primary computer. I set it up on the Siemens LAN port on the primary computer, and I will set it up on the backup computers at a later time, when I have time to turn them on and set it up. I moved the IBM Cyrix 233 MHz computer from beneath the bedroom side board to on top of the AMD backup computer, and I moved the Royal monitor from on top of the right side board monitor to the right side of the AMD backup computer, and I connected the IBM Cyrix up with the monitor, LAN cable, keyboard, and mouse. I have the keyboard resting on the monitor to give room for desk bric a brac. Thus I have five backup computers setup and ready to go in the bedroom, but it would be a little crowded except for five tiny skinny people to try to use. I still have the Dell backup computer and the primary computer in the living room. I will now shut down the computer, and I will clean up, and I will go out for some daytime activity.
