Egg shape 'helped birds survive' asteroid impact Microsoft headset to help blind people navigate cities CIO <888> 11/05/14 Wednesday 10:30 P.M. I have 50 minutes to go on two dry cycles. I picked up the mail. CIO <888> 11/05/14 Wednesday 10:10 P.M. I started two loads of laundry, and I am just about ready to start the dry cycles. I threw out the garbage and the old periodical literature. I watered the plants. CIO <888> 11/05/14 Wednesday 8:55 P.M. I put clean linens on the bed. I chatted with a relative. I took the Netgear wireless USB device off the Asus netbook, and I set it on the CVS laptop computer table to have available to use with refurbished Dell laptop. I also put the new Alpine Swiss laptop bag underneath the CVS laptop table to have available to travel with the laptop a long distance like to Starbucks on Greenwich Avenue or the Greenwich Library, if I ever want to work on the internet in those two remote locations. Of course I also have Optimum WiFi, so there are probably a lot of other locations in this area that I could work at. For example, I would probably sit in the Greenwich Train station and pretend to be a commuter waiting for a train. I know they have Optimum WiFi at the top of Greenwich Avenue by the Pickwick Plaza, if I wanted to sit on a bench there and work on the internet. Other locations like the Greenwich Hospital also have free WiFi. Of course, I could also use one of my two Iview tablets or my Nokia Windows 8.1 GoPhone, but I am not too swift at using devices without keyboards. Someone ran my neighbor's door bell, and since I have the same wireless door bell system, my door bell also rang. The fire alarm people are going to inspect the apartments in this building tomorrow Thursday and Friday. I will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 11/05/14 Wednesday 6:40 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. CIO <888> 11/05/14 Wednesday 5:55 P.M. Before going to bed this morning, I took the CVS laptop table from the left side of the bed, and I put a folding oak TV table in its place. I put the CVS laptop table in front of the left side of the left living room closet with the Audubon mouse pad on it. I will put the Dell laptop on it, when I get it. CIO <888> 11/05/14 Wednesday 5:25 P.M. I woke up and ate 2 ounces of mixed nuts and 6 ounces of Dannon vanilla yogurt. I chatted with a friend about 10 A.M.. I finally woke up at 4:30 P.M.. CIO <888> 11/05/14 Wednesday 6:55 A.M. For the new refurbished Dell Laptop, I bought Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse - BX3-00001 for $6.99 and $5.64 shipping for $12.63 total. I ate six ounces of mixed nuts and 6 ounces of Dannon vanilla yogurt. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed for the day. When one is basically a night time person, the daytime people tend to be a bit of a distraction. Still I manage to keep busy in my own simple ways. I guess because daytime people see a lot of people in metropolitan areas, they have a sense of self importance. Night time people in suburban areas with so few people awake are more like rural people waiting for the next odd thing to happen in a rather quiet tranquil atmosphere. Still with the internet, one can manage to keep busy at night, where as a lot of daytime people waste a lot of time just navigating around each other which takes time. CIO <888> 11/05/14 Wednesday 5:35 A.M. J.P. Morgan Chase http://www.jpmorganchase.com/ Commercial here http://wn.com/JPMorgan_Chase . When I knew Fred Von Mierers real name Fred Meyers, he told me one of his projects was decorating the President of J.P. Morgan's office who at the time was Herb Patterson. He also told me that Helen Kress Williams used to chose the head of J.P. Morgan, so she must have had some influence. CIO !!!!!! <888> 11/05/14 Wednesday 3:55 A.M. I bought $99.99 with free shipping Dell Latitude E6400 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.54Ghz-4GB-160GB Laptop Refurbished It comes without a charger, so I ordered $8.10 with free shipping AC Adapter Charger Power Supply Cord For Dell Latitude e4300 e6400 e6410 e6500 .

I took four large eggs, expire November 8, 2014, and I broke them into a mixing bowl, and I added two tablespoons of milk, and seasoned the mixture with dried parsley, celery salt and oregano and grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and I whisked the mixture together. I then took my seasoned omelet pan, and I added two tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a tablespoon of Smart Balance spread, and I heated the pan over medium electric burner heat until the fat bubbled, and then I added the egg mixture. Once the eggs mixture was hardened enough on the bottom, I flipped it over with a spatula to let the top side of the egg mixture cook, and I put four deli slices of American cheese on one side of the top side, and I flipped the other side over it, and I slid it onto a dinner plate and some more grated parmesan and Romano cheese on it, and I added a toasted English muffin with Smart Balance spread on it, and I ate it all with a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale.

A police car and ambulance were here to take a neighbor to the hospital. I chatted with a neighbor. Another neighbor is going to the hospital to see if his wife is all right. CIO <888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 10:55 P.M. I will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 10:30 P.M.

I chatted with a relative. 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> 11/04/14 Tuesday 12:25 P.M. I ate two ounces of mixed nuts, a blueberry muffin, and four ounces of Dannon Vanilla yogurt.

Return home to Oslo, Norway for the winter for $151 http://dealnews.com/Norwegian-Airlines-1-way-fares-to-Europe-from-149-/1184180.html . Of course, when I went there in February 1983 for a few weeks, there was six feet of snow on the ground, but by the time I left around St. Patrick's Day, it had all melted. The Norwegians are very cheerful friendly people in their own country. However, it is an extremely expensive country. I did get to go to a concert in the Noble Peace Hall for free, and one sees a lot of Nordic people with the same look as other Nordic people in this hemisphere. I did learn that they are very strict about people drinking alcohol and driving, and I think for the first offence, it is 15 years in jail. However, if one is not use to seeing lots of guards with machine guns, and walking freely around them on the palace grounds, they also take security seriously. I did notice they all like having hanging plants in their window hung from macramé twine of some sort. There is a law in Norway that the help does not have to eat salmon more than three times a week. They think Kellogg's corn flakes are a gourmet treat. It really is not to cold in Oslo, because they get a bit of the Gulf Stream into the Fjord, but the rest of the country particularly to the north can be a lot colder. However, they did not let me move there, since two people that looked like Ronald Reagan and Casper Weinberger showed up in my Best Western Hotel lobby behind the palace to discuss the matter, but they never actually chatted with me, so they maybe thought I was Norwegian. One Norwegian told me I should visit Glen Eagles sometime in Scotland. However, since I had spent most of my money traveling after I built the garage apartment in Plandome Manor, Long Island, by the time I got to Oslo, I was too low on funds to do anything but walk around on an empty stomach eating a few Swedish Wasa Crisps a day. Thus if one goes to Norway, one needs money, unless one happens to be Norwegian and has access to the Norwegian Social Services System which tends to be very generous to its own people. I did notice that unlike Sweden, one does not see that many fair haired people. The Norwegians are also very stocky. The Town Hall in Oslo is the most expensive brick building in the world, so it must have some sort of special features that I did not notice. Royal Dutch Shell and IBM have big office buildings there. The American Embassy that I visited was an impressive structure. They were very confused why I wanted to move there, and when I showed up there, a large section of the population took off on a dozen cruise ships to points further south. Fred Olsen of Olsen Travel runs a large tourist business out of Oslo, Norway with worldwide travel. However, when I visited the library at the University of Oslo, I knew I would be lost right away, since I do not know how to speak, read or write Norwegian. There was a student pub in the basement of the oldest church in Oslo, and I visited there one Saturday night, and I guess nobody knew I was from somewhere else. The Norwegians have a ski jump on the north side of town, along with the Frogmore Park where the Russians have their Embassy that looks like a vintage French Chateau. They were advertising George Du Boeuf Wine when I was there. The downtown area of Oslo is enjoyable to stroll in, but like all European Cities and villages that I have visited, one is left wandering around without much purpose, until one returns home. I did see a lot of Scrimshaw for sale in Oslo. I guess the Norwegians did not realize that I was trying to find a peaceful remote area of the world to live in away from the turmoil of the Western Hemisphere. However, I was not attuned to their viewpoint of us, so if I chatted with anyone important or expressed any viewpoint, it was one of a tired traveler. Still despite the circumstances, I enjoyed the trip. When I returned to the JFK airport in Manhattan, since I did not have any money, I spent two weeks camped out at the SAS terminal there, until I called a friend where I built the garage apartment, and I took the train to his place on Long Island, and he gave me a hundred dollar bill that I used to fly back to www.nantucket.net , where I worked until I returned to Greenwich in December 1983 after brief side trips late that fall to Florida and Toronto and Manhattan. CIO <888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 9:30 A.M. I threw out the garbage. I drove over to the New Lebanon School in Byram, and I was one of the first people to vote. I chatted with a couple of locals while waiting in line. I then drove over to downtown Greenwich. I chatted with a dog walker. I walked over to Zen Stationary, and I bought an Ace's High scratch card for a dollar, but I lost. I then drove over to CVS. I bought a two pack of one liter bottles of Crest Pro-Health multi-protection mouth wash for $13.79 both and .88 tax for $14.67 total. I then bought two 7 ounce CVS Sensitive Skin Shave Gel for one for $2.77 and the second half price for $1.38, and two 5.8 ounce Crest Pro-Health toothpaste for $6.49 and one for half price for $3.24 and less a $3 off coupon from the previous purchase and .69 tax for $11.57 total. I then put my purchases in the Volvo wagon. I chatted with a local. I then went back into CVS, and I toured the store some more. I then bought three 160 count two ply boxes of Kleenex for $4 less a dollar off CVS card coupon and .19 tax for $3.19 total. I then bought buy one get one free of Gold Emblem Deluxe low salt 17.5 ounce mixed nuts for $13.79 both. I then chatted with another local walker about the price of tea in China. I then drove over to the http://www.greenwichhardware.com/index.php , and I bought one 8 inch 22 watt Satco florescent circular bulb for $6.99 and one 12 inch 32 watt Satco florescent circular light bulb for $9.99 less a $1.70 ten percent discount and .97 tax for $16.25 total. I chatted with them also about the price of tea in China. I then returned to Chez De Vinci and filed this most informative report. I will now put away my purchases. CIO <888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 5:30 A.M. I will now get ready to go out and vote at 6 A.M., when the polls open at the New Lebanon School in Byram, Connecticut. CIO <888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 4:55 A.M. In terms of Saudi Arabia, my father once worked for King Wilkinson which was a Dutch engineering company in Saudi Arabia. I think they worked on building oil refineries. When I was in Key West, Florida during the winters of 1977 and 1978, I knew Izi who was from Saudi Arabia, and he used to sit on a prayer rug at Louie's patio just south of the Casa Marina Hotel. Louie's patio was where the windsurfers hung out along with Mel Fisher's children and a few friends of mine. When I flew down to Ronald Reagan's inaugural on a $40 Braniff airlines jet ticket from J.F.K. airport to National Airport in Washington D.C. on Inaugural Day in 1981, the only other passenger was the Saudi Arabian Oil minister who I did not bother. Since I returned to Greenwich, Connecticut in December 1983, I have met two people who told they were Saudi Arabian, Prince Bin Azis. Once at Tucson's bar, when I was first getting into personal computers about 24 years ago, I chatted with the son of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United Nations. I think his name was Auri or something like that. I chatted with him about Digital Computers of Lowell, Massachusetts. Since he was driving a $150,000 BMW and had a big blond male body guard from Virginia, I tended to believe him. A friend of mine had done landscaping at his new house on North Street, and told me they had 17 bathrooms. Another time, I met Asis who was from Saudi Arabia, and he lived on the same street in Cos Cob where Dorothy Bush's maid lived, and he worked at the perfume counter at Sac's Fifth Avenue in Stamford, and he also spoke French but very little English. I showed him my apartment setup and told him Daniel Construction had worked on building the Air Force base in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. That is about the limit of my Saudi connections. A British friend of the family also knew T.H. Lawrence of Lawrence of Arabia fame. I have never been in the middle east except western Turkey and also I have visited Lazarote http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=lanzarote&qpvt=lanzarote&FORM=IARRSM which is now a Saudi Arabian vacation spot of the coast of Morocco in the Canary Island. That was in the winter and spring of 1972, when I was a student in Europe. CIO <888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 4:15 A.M. Good news, I unplugged Rowenta 4 slice toaster, and I slid out its too bottom panels to remove the crumbs, and then I shook it upside down over the garbage can to remove anymore crumbs. Now the right two slice side of the toaster now works again. I bought it about ten years ago as a 70% off discount item from the clearance shelf of the Greenwich Hardware store. I think it was normally about $80, and I paid about $30 for it; so it is a very good toaster. My Scottish, Saudi Arabian, Dutch, and U.S. Air Force flags also came from the same 70% off discount shelf. I got the large British flag for $15 at the Merry Go Round Mew Thrift Shop. I found the Swedish flag for $5 at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. The rest of the flags, like the U.S.A. and Bermuda flags, I bought off the internet. Most of the small flags came from the Greenwich Hardware store. The very small Norwegian flag on the small sterling silver stand was about $5 at the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop. My heavy duty steering wheel lock and my folding metal shopping cart also came from the 70% off shelf at the Greenwich Hardware store. Once they downsized to their smaller basement store, they eliminated the 70% off shelf. CIO <888> 11/04/14 Tuesday 2:55 A.M. It will probably happen here sooner or later 135,000 lose power as first snowstorm of the season drops a foot in some areas in Bangor, Maine. I chatted with www.lenovo.com on a test message service, and they told me; they are still working on getting their Outlet Server running.

I threw out the garbage. I went by the www.chase.com bank at 19 West Putnam Avenue. I then went by the Wells Fargo Bank on Havemayer Place, and I paid my rent to the Greenwich Housing Authority. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought a package of four blueberry muffins for $2.99, deli sliced Stop and Shop white American cheese for $4.99 a pound for $5.24, deli sliced Stop and Shop honey ham for $5.99 a pound for $6.65, a container of fried chicken tenders for $2.05, bananas for .49 a pound for .60 for $17.53 total.

CIO <888> 11/03/14 Monday 8:25 A.M. I woke up at 8 A.M.. I will now get ready to go out and pay my rent. World Trade Center reopens for business CIO <888> 11/03/14 Monday 5:35 A.M. I have not used it in a long time, but the old version of Weather Pulse seems to work again http://www.tucows.com/preview/316051 . There is a new year old beta version, but I am not sure how one downloads it http://www.tropicdesigns.net/view-item/49/Weather-Pulse.html . One of my old security programs said it had a Trojan in it though. Still I used to find it very useful for weather forecasting. I ate three ounces of mixed nuts before resting. I will now try to rest some more. CIO <888> 11/03/14 Monday 3:45 A.M. The latest version of Ubuntu seems to work just on the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook in a second partition. The only thing the higher resolution blurs some time, and I had to lower the resolution for the monitor in the setting to 800 X 600, and it is stable. When I had an earlier version of Linux or OpenSUSE on it, it supported a higher resolution, but when I would install the updates, it would crash. I do not think the latest version of OpenSUSE shows a menu, where one can use the install procedure below. I think I will take a nap for a while. I have to go out an pay my rent around 9 A.M. this morning. CIO !!!!!! <888> 11/03/14 Monday 2:10 A.M. On the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook laptop computer, I have a new 80 GB IDE hard drive in it with Windows XP Professional on it. I used the free Paragon Partition program that was already on it, and I shrank the drive freeing up 25 GB of unused hard drive space. I then downloaded and burned to DVD, the latest version of www.ubuntu.com 32 bit version for Desktop. However, when one puts the DVD in the Panasonic CF-29 Toughbook, it give a processor error message. I used this method to boot it http://zo0ok.com/techfindings/archives/1546 . I then chose to install it choosing the more tricky method to install it to the unused space creating a 5 GB swapper space and 20 GB of install space. One has to study the installation methods to do that, but it is not too complicated. It is now installing Ubuntu 14.04. Using that method, I guess I could also install it on the Epox computer too.
