No Smoke, No Mirrors: The Dutch Pension Plan - NYTimes.com Antikythera wreck yields new treasures CIO <888> 10/12/14 Sunday 5:15 A.M. I took one of the new gold four coaxial splitters, and I hooked it up by the living room stereo setup, where I had two gold coaxial splitters. Those three televisions on the four coaxial gold splitter work just fine, if not better. I then took the two spare good gold coaxial splitters, and I hooked them up to the bedroom television setup, removing the two cheap coaxial two splitters. I put the two cheap coaxial gold splitters in the small top drawer of the night stand holding the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau, so now the bedroom televisions have clearer reception.

I do not need to use them at the moment, so I put them in the small top drawer of the night stand underneath the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau in the bedroom. CIO <888> 10/12/14 Sunday 1:30 A.M. I will now shower and clean up. It is not like the old days, when I used to be able to drive into nearby Manhattan to see if anything was going on in the wee hours of the morning. At my age of 64, I feel more comfortable staying out here in the remote woods of Connecticut enjoying the peace and quiet of the early morning hours. CIO <888> 10/12/14 Sunday 12:55 A.M. I went back to bed after the last note. I woke up at 6 P.M., and I chatted with a relative. I woke up at 9 P.M., and I chatted with a relative. I went back to bed until 11:30 P.M., when I woke up. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk. I made my bed. CIO <888> 10/11/14 Saturday 12:55 P.M. I ate two ounces of mixed nuts and a blueberry muffin and a 12 ounce glass of 50% punch and 50% Schweppes Ginger Ale.

I will now take a nap. CIO <888> 10/11/14 Saturday 6:20 A.M. This deal is available for hungry people http://www.hsn.com/todays-special and http://www.hsn.com/products/wolfgang-puck-rapid-pressure-oven-with-3-bonuses/7545004 . I ate two ounces of cashew nuts. I made 242 Premier Lights 100 MM filter Peter Stokkebye Turkish pipe tobacco cigarettes while watching series 12 episode 2 of "Poirot", and the Home Shopping Network Commerical for the Wolfgang Puck pressure oven. The food looked very good, but I can not afford the food let alone the oven. CIO <888> 10/11/14 Saturday 2:20 A.M. I will now make cigarettes. CIO <888> 10/11/14 Saturday 1:55 A.M. I went back to bed after the last note. I woke up at 12:15 A.M.. I showered, and I cleaned up. I threw out the garbage. I sat outside briefly. I could hear trucks moving on nearby I-95 http://www.ct.gov/dot/cwp/view.asp?a=2354&q=415220 , so American is still trucking along. I picked up the mail. I got a letter from www.chase.com that my bank branch at 9 West Putnam Avenue will be closing Saturday November 1, 2014, and my new branch will be at the new mega complex on the west side of the Greenwich Library where the old www.exxon.com gasoline station used to be. I noticed last night when I passed by the new location, they have a new 10 foot blue neon sign in their front window glass facade letting people know that it is a Chase Bank, in case one can not figure it out. Maybe they will have David Rockefeller there giving away toasters when they open. CIO <888> 10/10/14 Friday 9:10 P.M. I ate a ham and American cheese sandwich on toasted 15 grain bread with Hellmann's olive oil mayonnaise and a dill pickle slice and a Lays low sodium potato chips and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale.

I ate four ounces of cashew nuts. CIO <888> 10/10/14 Friday 3:15 A.M. Global Volcanism Program | Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report ..:: Centro de Geociencias ::..

I guess some people have High Rise Fever http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_the_United_Kingdom CIO <888> 10/10/14 Friday 2:10 A.M. I ate a rotisserie chicken leg, thigh, wing, and two 1/4th inch thick slices of breast meat with Frank's hot sauce, a baked sweet potato or yam with steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise with Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. CIO <888> 10/10/14 Friday 12:35 A.M. I went out, and I went by the Stop and Shop. I bought buy one get two free of Thomas' 6 packs of English muffins for $4.29 all, a 42 ounce Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal for $4.59, a honey roasted rotisserie chicken for $4.99, four sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $2.84, and bananas for .49 a pound for $1.20 for $17.91 total. I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I chatted with someone from Florida. I chatted with two couples about Spain. After I finished my walk, I sat out for a while. Somebody told me, I looked cold in my light blue shorts and light orange polo shirt. I told them by Midwestern standards, it was not cold. I then drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road. There appeared to be a couple of having sex outside of their truck down there, so I did not linger. I then went by the Putnam Shell at 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $9.00 of self service premium V-Power gasoline for $4.179 a gallon with a dime a gallon off with my Stop and Shop card for 2.153 gallons at odometer reading of 109777 miles for 28.7 miles driven since Tuesday September 23, 2014 for 13.333 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic. I chatted with one of the regular night people. I then returned home at 11:55 P.M.. I could see in the southeastern sky, a jet or missile or rocket contrail going northeast to southwest that was probably left five minutes before I arrived home. I put away my groceries. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 9:25 P.M. I will now go downtown for a brief spell. It is suppose to rain tomorrow night, so I might melt, if I went out then. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 9:05 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I sat out briefly. The front door was left opened for the second time this month. I set it, so it closed. I picked up the mail. I chatted with a neighbor. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 8:05 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 7:40 P.M. On my Arris TM802 cable modem, I noticed that the Link Light was blinking orange instead of green. I called up Optimum at 1-203-348-9211, and they told me from Shelton, Connecticut it only blinks green, when one uses T1000 equipment for the router and switch, and I am only using older T100 equipment for the router and switch. I pay $65 a month for a T50 internet connection, so at www.speedguide.net , I get 54 gbps download and 38 gbps upload, which is fast enough for me for the work that I do. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 6:30 P.M. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with honey and milk and sliced banana, a toasted English muffin with olive oil, a glass of 50% punch and 50% cold filtered water with vitamins and supplements, and a cup of coffee with equal sweetener and milk. I made my bed. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 5:15 P.M. I ate five ounces of cashew nuts before going to bed. I woke up at 4 P.M.. I chatted with two friends. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 6:40 A.M. http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/10/09/greatest-burger-places-outside-america/?intcmp=features I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then go to bed. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 6:05 A.M. I dusted a bit in the corner where the speakers are to the right side of the primary computer where the cable modem used to be, and I put the little brass Dutch equestrian statue at that location. I bought it for $17.50 many years ago at the Merry Go Round Mews Thrift Shop, when it was there, before their rent got to be too expensive. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 5:50 A.M. I risked life and limb, and I climbed up on the one square foot free space on the desk where the FIC server is, and I replaced the two light bulbs in the picture frame light with two 25 watt clear Sylvania torpedo light bulbs. The print is like one at the Frick Museum on Fifth Avenue and 70th Street http://www.frick.org/ and http://collections.frick.org/view/objects/asitem/items$0040:239 but smaller in a guilt frame. I bought it many years ago for ten dollars at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop on Sherwood Place. All Dutch people should have Rembrandt prints in their homes. When I was in Amsterdam before the Albertville Winter Olympics in February 1992, I toured https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/ , where they had brought together all of the famous Rembrandts paintings from around the world, and there were only about fifty older people there on a Sunday afternoon for the exhibit, but on the north side of town, I saw thousands of young people lined up for the American Automobile show at the indoor mall, despite the fact that the Dutch mostly ride bicycles. They do not seem to have heard about http://www.shell.nl/ . Now that they have a new King and Queen http://www.koninklijkhuis.nl/ from a younger generation, they might be a little bit more modern, but Europeans are traditional, and they do not change their ways very quickly. Later on that same day, I went to a local pub, and I chatted with someone that looked like http://www.gatesnotes.com/ , and he told me he was not really rich. I thus assumed since the Boeing Club used to be in Amsterdam and his father was the head attorney for http://www.boeing.com/boeing/ , he was just using great wealth celebrity to buy flight insurance like Howard Hughes use to do. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 5:00 A.M. I ate six quarter inch thick slices of white rotisserie chicken breast meat with Frank's hot sauce, a baked sweet potato or yam with steamed baby carrots cut into quarters lengthwise with Smart Balance spread and extra virgin olive oil on the vegetables and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale and a cup of green tea with Equal sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. I chatted with Steve from Jacksonville at the http://casamarinaresort.com/ , and he said they are waiting for the snow birds to show up. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 3:45 A.M. I threw out the four inch thick stack of old laser printer waste paper that I had underneath the Minolta laser printer where I put the cable modem, and I kept a half inch stack on the shelf underneath that. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 3:05 A.M. The Cable Modem was connected with a four foot gold coaxial cable from a gold two splitter connected to the primary gold coaxial cable. I took them off, and I have cable modem connected to the direct coaxial cable, and I repositioned the cable modem underneath the Minolta PagePro 1350W laser printer. I connected up the FIC server coaxial cable and the primary computer Kworld coaxial cable to the gold splitter to the right side of the primary computer. I took off the RadioShack A B coaxial switch, and I stored it in the small top drawer of night stand of the IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau. I used the spare coaxial 2 gold splitter to connect the old repaired 50 foot coaxial cable to the two splitter in the living room beneath the stereo system along with new 50 foot coaxial cable. I have the old repaired 50 foot coaxial cable connected to the Panasonic 14 inch CRT television on the white bookcase on the right side of the kitchen entrance. I stored the white 25 coaxial cable and the two four foot gold coaxial cables underneath the right side of the bed in the bedroom. Both televisions on the two foot foot cables are clear as a bell. I am restarting the FIC server and doing some maintenance on it. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 1:20 A.M. I hooked up the Radio Shack Coaxial A B switch on the right side of the primary computer, so the A switch is to enable the Panasonic 14 inch CRT television and KWorld television on the left monitor. The B switch is to enable the Hauppauge video card on the FIC server. I also tried tweaking the sound on the KWorld Labtec speakers, since there is a bit of static. All I can figure out is that by lowering the speaker sound and turning up the KWorld volume it gets rid of most of the static. CIO <888> 10/09/14 Thursday 12:10 A.M.

For people with cars without laundry machines in this area, the Cos Cob laundromat is opened 24 hours a day seven days a week, but I don't know if they have free wireless internet, but one might pick it up from Starbucks across the street. There is also another laundromat in downtown Byram near the Port Chester bridge, and another Laundromat in Port Chester near the Connecticut border near Clancy's bar. There also used to be a laundromat in Riverside just east of St. Catherine's, and there also used to be a laundromat at the Glenville Shopping Center. I have not been over to the east side of town, since I got my hair cut around this past Easter time, but maybe it was in early June 2014, I can not remember. I got my haircut in August 2014 in Kennebunk, Maine, so I don't need a hair cut. The http://www.jhousegreenwich.com/ is where all of the young tech people gather for after work cocktails.

I started two loads of laundry. I have 50 minutes to go on two dry cycles. I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature. I picked up the mail. I watered the plants.

CIO <888> 10/08/14 Wednesday 12:25 P.M. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then go to bed. CIO <888> 10/08/14 Wednesday 12:05 P.M. http://blog.obihai.com/ I upgraded the firmware for the OptiTalk device from its web site. I then configured the OpiTalk device to work with Google Voice. It seems to work just fine. I have it setup at the primary VOIP line along with the other VOIP line. On a test call to England to New Scotland Yard, it cost one penny for one minute. However, on my four line Panasonic telephone, the OpiTalk device is setup as the third line, but when one uses the Panasonic Phone directory dial, it selects the first line to call out on, so one has to enter the call manually. I turn the power to the OpiTalk device on and off from the lower left switch from the primary computer control panel. I do not leave the OpiTalk device turned on, except for when I am using it. I have $9.57 on the Google Voice account. I have a Google Voice telephone number, but since I don't use it, I don't give it out. CIO <888> 10/08/14 Wednesday 10:45 A.M.

Back in the spring of 1975, when I used to swim with the owners permission in the Conyers Farm lake in back country Greenwich, there were rumors from the local youth swimming there that there was a giant snapping turtle living in the lake that would drag swimmers under water to their demise. I survived that period of swimming there, and I even built a 20 foot by 20 foot floating raft out of the old dock that was damaged by ice the previous winter. The owner of the property Louis Rosenstiel used to walk the property with three Russian wolf hounds, so there were probably wild animals out there. His wife later married Walter Annenberg, and was the United States Chief of protocol under Ronald Reagan. His daughter once had me at their home, and it was a stone house with heavy dark paneling. Later that summer, I camped out on Martha's Vineyard, but mostly on Nantucket, so I was a bit tanned, but I did not go down to south Florida until the fall of 1976, after having lived in Greenville, South Carolina and returning to New York City for the bicentennial, where I saw Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip and a lot of other people along with visiting family at my family's Greenwich house, and then returning to www.nantucket.net. On Columbus Day, the rich people in Nantucket return to the mainland to discover America. There are a lot of southern families out on Nantucket in the summer, because it gets very hot down south, where they spend the winter. CIO Download 1.31 Mb. Share with your friends:
