I managed to escape from my self imposed prison exile in my apartment for a brief spell. I went over to the 24 hour CVS on West Putnam Avenue, and I bought two chocolate, four cheddar, and four traditional 60% reduced fat 8.5 ounce bags of Chex Mix for $1 each for $10 total. Since their computers did not show the right price, I had to convince them that as the circular said, they are ten for $10. They tried to convince me that was a smaller bag, but I know from experience that is the only size bag they make. I then drove down the World Famous Greenwich Avenue, and the Greenwich Fire Department was out in force in front of the www.apple.com computer store. I drove down by the waterfront on Steamboat Road, and no one was fishing on the waterfront. I then returned through town and the Greenwich Fire Department was no longer in front of the Apple computer store. I then returned home. All quiet in Greenwich, Siberia.

I added a 16 ounce package of Barilla linguine and I boiled it for 10 minutes with the lid off. At the same time, I heated the Alfredo sauce in the GE microwave oven on four vegetable cycles. I then drained the linguine and hot water into a colander sitting on top another large pot, and I dumped out the hot water in the bathroom sink to clean out the drain. I put the cooked linguine in a large mixing bowl, and I added a half cup of grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a quarter of a cup of extra virgin olive oil, and I mixed it all together. I then added the heated Alfredo mixture, and I mixed it all together. I put one third of the linguine and Alfredo sauce on a large dinner plate, and I refrigerated the other two thirds in a large Rubbermaid container. I ate it with a glass of Sprite and a cup of green tea with Splenda sweetener and Borden's lemon juice. CIO Note: <888> 08/18/12 Saturday 10:25 P.M. I woke up at 10 P.M.. I threw out the garbage.

As I recall, back on August 16, 1977, when Elvis died Elvis Presley (American singer and actor) -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia , I was working at the Gordon Folger hotel in Nantucket as a $2.15 an hour pot scrubber. However, about that time, I think I first started working at the Le Languedoc Bistro a Nantucket Restaurant and Inn. Serving French cuisine on Nantucket for over 30 Years as pot scrubber for $2.85 an hour, and I was living at Flossie's Flop House at 31 India Street in Nantucket just east of Jim Eldert at the India House and just west of Fred Von Mierers at John Rugg's house. However, that summer I was so busy washing pots after starving in south Florida the winter before, I only saw them once or twice, although they were neighbors. However, I did see a lot of other people. I was staying in the front bedroom of 31 India Street with three other various boarders. I was working up to 80 hours a week. On my one day a week off, I would buy a $2 bottle of French white wine and try to find some place quiet to relax and drink it. I remember once sitting out at the Carnival which was there and talking to the baby Elephant after the carnival had closed. CIO Note: <888> 08/16/12 Thursday 7:05 A.M. I finished configuring the Windows 8 RTM ninety day demo partition on the third IBM ThinkCentre. It works very well. The only problem that I have is that it brought up product activation on the primary partition which I can fix when I remove the demo in the future. Also the Windows 8 RTM demo driver for the Lexmark E238 laser printer using the TrendNet router did not work, but the Universal Driver from Lexmark for the E238 does work, so the demo has print capability. CIO Note: <888> 08/16/12 Thursday 4:05 A.M. Best HDTVs (32 inches or less) - CNET Reviews I downloaded the 32 bit Windows 8 demo. I burned it to DVD, but it would not boot from DVD on the Epox computer which has an older AMD Sempron 3000 processor. However, from Windows XP, it will not allow an upgrade, but it seems that it will allow a new install, which I did not want to do, since one can not repartition it from setup in XP, only from booting it from DVD. I am now installing it on the third IBM ThinkCentre in front of the mahogany bureau in the living room. I made three copies of the 32 bit DVD for the Windows 8 demo.

CIO Note: <888> 08/16/12 Thursday 12:40 A.M. I went to the Stop and Shop. I chatted with a local Scottish citizen. He gave me his web site Greenwich Topics .

I chatted with the Scottish resident some more. I then drove down Greenwich Avenue which was deserted. I then stopped by the Putnam Shell on 401 West Putnam Avenue, and I bought $11 of self service premium for a dime a gallon off with the Stop and Shop card for $4.399 a gallon for 2.501 gallons at odometer reading of 70736 miles for 30.9 miles driven since Tuesday August 7, 2012 for 12.355 miles per gallon in mostly local traffic mostly at night.

If IBM ever comes down from Mount Armonk, I have noticed in the foot hills of Byram, Connecticut, we have three 24 hour gasoline stations and mini marts on West Putnam Avenue along with the 24 hour CVS with pharmacy. I think over in downtown Byram, there might be a 24 hour Laundromat besides the one in Cos Cob. I noticed for any of the night shift employees Davy Byrnes tavern is still opened nearby in Port Chester, New York. A friend of mine that was a local landscaper use to like going there to see the wild side of Greenwich. The Black Sheep tavern and Willow Street are no longer in Port Chester, New York as far as I know, and the pub in White Plains near the Public Works department is long since gone. I don't know where the younger generation go in the early morning hours anymore, but some of them probably still work at night. In the news business in the old days chatting with people in pubs could be informative, since people when they are having a drink tend to talk more freely for what its worth. I noticed about 22 years ago, when I use to talk about computers in pubs everyone would tune me out, and a friend was given a videotape on the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. I guess the Wall Street crowd around here overwhelms the computer nerds. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. Also across from the Y.M.C.A. in Greenwich, there is still the 24 hour diner. CIO Note: <888> 08/15/12 Wednesday 4:00 A.M.

I hooked up the Sceptre 23 inch LED TV to the Abit computer PNY video card, and although it worked the color was washed out. However, I then hooked it up to the ATI video card on the Epox computer, and the color is just perfect. I left it setup in clone mode, so whatever is on the Epox computer monitor is on the Sceptre 23 inch LED TV, when it set to input of AV. Thus I can watch internet video and media on the Sceptre TV in fast good quality video with good sound from the Epox computer Monsoon speaker system. I also hooked up the wireless remote control mouse to the Epox computer, but it only has a range of about four feet, so it is not very useful for remote control use. CIO Note: <888> 08/15/12 Wednesday 1:05 A.M. I can not afford to fiddle with this Raspberry Pi at Newark . I don't really have much computer work to do. With all of the people away on vacation in August, there is also not very much content on the internet. Of course, one could always look at the large volume of old content that one has missed in the past. Chris Shays lost the Republican Primary for U.S. Senate. There are obliviously more powerful people with more money than politicians whom spend a lot of money to get their jobs. Most people with money prefer not to spend their money on politics since they pay enough taxes. I guess it is the people whom watch too much television that are interested in politics. From what I know some of the best home computers are used mostly for computer gaming which a lot of the younger generation have grown up doing.

The last time I was there http://mikelouisscott.com/mlsdc.jpg around the winter of 1990, it was below zero degrees Fahrenheit, so it does get cold there occasionally. In the fact the town was mostly deserted, so I just assumed they all go elsewhere for the winter.
