<888> 11/10/14 Monday 2:40 A.M. On the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop on the second partition with the Windows 10 X64 Technical Preview, I mostly finished configuring it except for installing the apps in the apps list. I have all the other regular programs on it. I can not get its Bluetooth to recognize my Motorola Bluetooth ear piece, which it does in Windows 7. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will eat a blueberry muffin and a 8 ounces of Dannon vanilla yogurt. I will then go to bed. CIO
<888> 11/09/14 Sunday 10:55 P.M. I registered the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer with www.dell.com . I installed the latest bios update. I also installed six device driver updates from Dell. I ran the Dell System Diagnostics, the laptop passed all of the tests. Thus I think the Dell Laptop is in pretty good shape. I will now install the Microsoft Windows 10 Technical Preview X64 on a second partition on it. CIO

<888> 11/09/14 Sunday 6:45 P.M. I moved the Tripp-Lite control panel and the Logitech 2.1 speaker system from the Asus Netbook setup to the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop setup. The Motorola Blue Tooth Ear Piece is plugged into the Tripp-Lite Control panel plug turned on all the time. The Printer switch turns on the Brother HL-2240 laser printer. The Monitor switch turns on the power to the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop, and the Aux 2 switch turns on the Logitech 2.1 speaker system. I put the Motorola Blue Tooth Ear Piece and the Logitech 2.1 Speaker System Control switch on the left side of the Dell Laptop.

<888> 11/09/14 Sunday 9:05 A.M. I just shut down the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. I have it all configured and backed up. I will have put the Windows 10 X64 Technical Preview on it in a second partition at a later date. I have the Logitech speakers and Logitech headset hooked up to it along with the Netgear Wireless USB device and the Microsoft Wireless Mouse and the laptop cooler underneath it along with the Brother HL-2240 laser printer. It is good to go. It has its own built in wireless and built in camera. The Optimum App for television works just fine on it. CIO
<888> 11/09/14 Sunday 7:55 A.M. I moved the Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 laptop computer to on top of the CVS laptop stand. I will move it elsewhere later. Since I never use the Samsung color laser printer except for Christmas letters, I moved it on top of the FIC server hooked up to the primary work computer. From that location, I moved the Brother HL-2240 laser printer to where the Samsung color laser printer was on top of the white book shelf at the kitchen entrance above the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. Once the backups are finished, I will connect it up the Dell laptop, so it will have printing capability from its USB port. CIO
<888> 11/09/14 Sunday 7:10 A.M. I finished configuring the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer. I moved the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook computer to on top of the Samsung color laser printer on the bookcase at the kitchen entrance. I moved the bric a brac that was there elsewhere. I moved the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop computer to on top of the blue night stand at the apartment entrance beneath the Samsung color laser printer. I am doing a Aomei backup of it to the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive. I will then do a Windows 7 Complete PC Backup to the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive. It all seems to be running just fine. I move the CVS laptop table to entry way to the Ethan Allen recliner. I will store it back in the bedroom on the left side of the bed, once I get the bedroom closet fixed up. CIO
<888> 11/09/14 Sunday 5:15 A.M. I chatted with a relative about 2:30 A.M.. I basically have the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop almost configured. However, I spent about two hours trying to get the TrendNet TW100-BRF114U print server to install, and I still can not get it to install. I tried setting it up as a TCP/IP network port, but that would not work either. The Dell laptop is 64 bit, which is probably why the 32 bit driver does not install. CIO
<888> 11/08/14 Saturday 9:35 P.M. I burned two copies of the Windows 10 Technical Preview X64 to DVD to have available. I chatted with a relative. I did some configuration on the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. 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. I will now shower and clean up. I will then configure the Windows 7 partition on the Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. It seems to work just fine. The battery takes a total charge. Its keyboard also lights up. CIO

I set up the Dell laptop on the CVS laptop table in front of the left living room closet with the power supply and Microsoft wireless mouse from the primary Dell Latitude D410 laptop. The Dell Latitude E6400 laptop works just fine. I shrank its hard drive by 40 GB, so I have room to install the Window 10 Technical Preview on a second partition. I am now backing up the original configuration to the Seagate GoFlex external hard drive. I will then make another backup to the Seagate 2 TB external hard drive. CIO

<888> 11/08/14 Saturday 4:55 A.M. Read note at 1 A.M. about my plan for repairing the shelf clothes hanger, if the building custodian does not come up with a better plan. The building custodian has a lot of experience and tools, so he might be able to put in metal support brackets for the wire shelf into the aluminum studs which would be cheaper and probably just as good.

<888> 11/08/14 Saturday 1:50 A.M. Since it might be a while before the building custodian repairs the bedroom closet shelf and hanger assembly, I made the apartment more livable. I put the hanging clothes from the bedroom closet on top of the Ethan Allen recliner and in front of it, so the area between the oak dining table the mahogany bureau is opened up freeing up the computers to be used at those locations. I also took the items off the bed in the bedroom, and I stacked them up on the floor of the closet, so the bed with access on the right side is now available for use. The floor on the left side of the bed is covered with various items from the floor of the closet. I don't have enough money to do the repair myself, and what little money I have I need to live off for the rest of the month. CIO
<888> 11/08/14 Saturday 1:00 A.M.
Basically my plan for the closet shelf repair is this.
Install 2 X4 along the back wall with 8 four inch mollies with washers at their heads.
One secured to the wall screw in another 2 X4 into with with three inch wood screws.
Do the same thing on both sides.
To fit the shelf, one has to cut the lower support iron on either end off a few inches.
Install 1 X 6 with 8 mollies across the back wall about two feet beneath the shelf to support the five older lateral support brackets.
Cut eight 2 X 4s to floor to bottom of shelf heigth less about 1.5 inches the width of two 1 X 6 boards used for support
Cut 16, 1 X 6 X 12 and screw them centered into either end of the eight two by fours.
Place support two by fours at the four corner of the shelf, and one front and rear a third of the distance from the side wall.
Secure shelf to back wall and side wall two by fours with 3 inch steel bars held in with one inch screws
Secure eight two by four studs with 3 inch bars at the top and and screws into the floor.
That should be enough support for all of the extra heavy weight on the shelf clothes hanger.

<888> 11/07/14 Friday 7:30 P.M. I woke up at 3 P.M.. The building custodian was not at work today, so he was not able to repair the bedroom closet shelf and clothes hanging assembly.

I assume they have had this problem a number of times in the building, so I assume they know how fix it properly without me going to a whole lot of hassle. CIO
<888> 11/07/14 Friday 7:05 A.M. I have the closet cleared out, and the old assembly disassembled, and a list made up. However, to support the closet shelf with wooden two by fours held in place with various hardware and the tools to do it is going to cost me close to $200 which I do not have at the moment. I will take the items that are on the bed, and put them back on the open closet floor, and I will thus have a place to sleep. I chatted with a friend. I will now clear off the bed. I guess I can call a relative to see if I can charge the cost at Home Depot to them, but because of the hacker problems at Home Depot, a relative might not want to let me use their credit card. I am extremely tired. I will now clear the bed. I chatted with another relative. CIO
<888> 11/07/14 Friday 5:05 A.M. I have the bedroom closet cleared out. I put the closet shelf items on the bed, and I put the hanging clothes on the floor in the living room between the oak dining table and the mahogany bureau. It is an excessive amount of weight. It looks like the right side plastic support broke giving way causing the hole assembly to give way. www.homedepot.com opens at 7 A.M. in Port Chester, New York. I need to get some repair items, and probably some wood strips to make the closet assembly stronger. I will now make up a list of items that I need. CIO
<888> 11/07/14 Friday 4:15 A.M. I have a major problem that I just discovered. My bedroom closet shelf with all of the clothes hanging underneath it has collapsed.
