I threw out the garbage and the shipping box. By the recycle bin, I found a four foot by 20 inch antique mirror which I brought up to my apartment, and I hung on the lower right side of the kitchen entrance. I moved the picture of Versailles from that location to right side of the Picasso print in the left living room window. I dusted the lazy Susan underneath it.

I sat outside, and I chatted with neighbors. I hooked up the new 50 foot coaxial cable from the gold splitter by the living room stereo system to the Sceptre 23 inch LED television in the kitchen. It is clear as a bell and no more static. CIO <888> 09/30/14 Tuesday 5:10 A.M. I ate a blueberry muffin. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then go to bed.

A friend of mine told me when I chatted with him earlier, that the German bicycle rider that I drove up to Boston in August, after he rode up through Vermont had ridden up to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and then to Toronto, Ontario, Canada; but in Toronto his knees began to hurt him, so instead of riding his bike down to Fort Lauderdale, Florida and catching a jet to Costa Rica to ride his bike around Costa Rica, he caught a jet back from Toronto to Cologne, Germany, where is living at home with his parents unemployed. CIO <888> 09/30/14 Tuesday 1:35 A.M. Nine Connecticut residents made Forbes' 'Richest People in America' list <888> 09/30/14 Tuesday 1:20 A.M. I made 184 Premier Lights 100 MM filter Peter Stokkebye Turkish pipe tobacco cigarettes while watching series 11 episode 4 of "Poirot". CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 9:45 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I sat outside briefly enjoying the warm quiet evening. I picked up the mail. I will now make cigarettes. CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 8:50 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I will now shower and clean up. CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 7:30 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. I will make up a batch of fresh punch. CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 6:45 P.M. I chatted with a friend at noon. I chatted with a relative at 3 P.M.. I woke up at 5 P.M.. I chatted with a friend. CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 6:35 A.M. I installed the Microsoft Surface Pack on the Windows 7 partition on the IBM ThinkCentre along side the Ethan Allen recliner, and Global Surface works just fine with the touch screen. However, the Surface Park will not install on the Windows 8.1 partition, but Bing Maps in the Windows 8.1 Store is pretty much the same as Microsoft Surface. I installed 15 more applications on the Windows 8.1 partition. I have not really used Microsoft 8.1 very much, so I am not that familiar with the user interface, but the IBM ThinkCentre is quite a bit faster than the primary work computer. However, I used the primary work computer the most, since it has the two additional internal backup drives, besides the primary drive. I ate 4 ounces of smoked almonds and a 12 ounce glass of 50% punch and 50% Schweppes Ginger Ale. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then go to bed. CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 3:45 A.M. To test out the touch screen monitor on the IBM ThinkCentre with Windows 8.1 along side the Ethan Allen recliner, I put Simple Solitaire game on it, but the mouse is faster than the touch screen method. In the old days of Microsoft Windows 3, whenever one went into the CompUSA computer store about 20 years ago, everyone was always playing the Solitaire game on it, so not much has changed in the last 20 years except we have all gotten older. They also use touch screen monitors on display cash registers in bars and restaurants. http://www.windows8downloads.com/win8-touch-screen-software.html http://www.windows8downloads.com/win8-touchscreen.html http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/touch-swipe-tap-beyond http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17368 http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/software-windowstools http://touch-screen.winsite.com/ http://windows.brothersoft.com/windows-8-touch-screen.html http://en.softonic.com/s/windows-8-touch-screen-games CIO <888> 09/29/14 Monday 1:30 A.M.

CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 11:15 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I went downtown to CVS on Greenwich Avenue. I bought three 12 packs of 12 ounce cans of Canada Dry Ginger Ale for $11 and $1.80 can deposit for $12.80 total. I then bought two 55 ounce Clorox bleach for $2 each and four 45 ounce Xtra 2X scented liquid detergent for $1.44 each and .62 tax for $10.38 total. I then went further downtown, and I chatted with a relative on my wireless telephone. I then said hello to a regular at Starbucks. I then walked then entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. Both frozen yogurt stands on lower Greenwich Avenue are opened late at night as is the new juice bar at the People's Bank building with interesting sandwiches for about $7.99. On the way up Greenwich Avenue, I stopped by CVS again, and I used the bathroom. I bought a red Pioneer 100 magnetic sheet photograph album for $13.19 less 25% with a CVS internet coupon for $3.30 off and .63 tax for $10.52 total. The Makerbot 3D printer store is looking for help. I then sat out for a while enjoying the quiet evening. I then went by the Stop and Shop. I bought a 42 ounce Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal for $4.36, two sweet potatoes for .99 a pound for $1.56, a 12 ounce Perdue chicken cutlet for $1.99, a four pack of fresh blueberry muffins for $2.99, and a 24 ounce rotisserie turkey breast for $7.99 for $18.89 total. I chatted with the Starbucks regular again. I then returned home. I used my little folding cart from the rear of the Volvo wagon to bring up the ginger ale. I then brought down my other folding cart and returned to the smaller folding cart to the rear of the Volvo wagon, and I used the larger folding cart to bring up my other purchases. I then put my groceries away. CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 6:55 P.M. I will now shower and clean up. I will then go out to explore the Magic Kingdom on Greenwich Avenue which at this time of night is probably only CVS and Starbucks and whatever else one can afford. CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 6:00 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. http://www.lifelinesys.com/content/?campaign=1009&mm_campaign=8f11d05ce8da357bf3129f046a7b5731&keyword=philips%20lifeline%20with%20autoalert&gclid=CNWo-NPzhMECFaNj7AodlCgA_A&gclsrc=aw.ds CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 4:50 P.M. After the last note, I chatted with a relative. I woke up at 4 P.M., and I chatted with a friend. Tomorrow is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michaelmas , when it is legal to steal a horse in Scotland. At least 31 believed dead at Japanese volcano CIO End of Scott's Notes week of 09/28/14 <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 7:10 A.M. Well not much happening in the extreme southwest corner of the third smallest state in the nation http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/populations/usaareal.htm . Actually Hawaii is larger than Connecticut. I will now send out my weekly notes. I will now shut down the primary work computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 6:40 A.M. I ate four ounces of almonds and a 12 ounce glass of 50% Schweppes Ginger Ale and 50% punch. There are some huge people that I frequently see in this area. Since I am one of the smaller people at 6 feet tall and 230 pounds, I tend to chat and network with the smaller people my size. I am not sure what the huge people do, but I guess since they can afford to live and feed themselves here, they must do something in a productive manner. Up in Maine, the people are even larger. In the grocery stores in Maine, the potatoes are half the size of a football. Thus the smaller office types like myself whom work with keyboards and computers, tend to only network with people our size or slightly smaller, since the people can get much larger and intimidating in this area for better or worse. When I first started working with home computers 24 years ago, I met a software engineer who was about six feet tall and eight hundred pounds. When I used to go the old Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop, there was a regular customer who was over 7 feet tall and over 500 pounds. When I went to the Microsoft conference out on Long Island about seven years ago, there was a man who was six feet tall and about six feet wide. These large people I mention are all northern European white people. Of course out the Midwest of America where there is heavy industry, there are millions of people that size compared to the smaller office workers in the New York City area. When I have been up in Canada, the people are even larger. CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 4:45 A.M. I ate 8 ounces of Dannon yogurt. Japan volcano: 30 hikers feared dead on Mt Ontake CIO <888> 09/28/14 Sunday 3:45 A.M. I woke up at 3:30 A.M. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 11:55 P.M. I ate a three meat and five cheese Marie Callender lasagna with grated parmesan and Romano cheese and a 12 ounce glass of Schweppes Ginger Ale. I will now take a nap. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 10:40 P.M. At www.snapfish.com , I sent two sets of six photographs that I took of relatives in Kennebunkport, Maine to an interested relative for $2.64 total charge. What is interesting is that on the SnapFish receipt, it said $2.63, but I was charged $2.64, so perhaps some hacker is taking a penny out of everyone's order hoping people will not notice. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 8:45 P.M. For a Canon Digital Camera battery http://www.hardwareonlinestore.com/clearance/all-clearance/charger-canon-soloxp-c-detail for $2.69 and $13.24 shipping here for $15.93, but it is available elsewhere http://www.amazon.com/Lenmar-SOLOXP-C-Universal-Li-Ion-Charger/dp/B000VNKGKU for $11.89 and $5.74 shipping for $17.63. However, I have no plans to travel outside the country with my Canon Digital camera. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 8:45 P.M. Useful laundry item from Canada http://www.homedepot.ca/product/greenway-large-capacity-laundry-hamper/843992?eid=comm-junction-prod|affiliate|comm-junction|D59|EN|||843992-1000720889|||| , but no wheels. Good deal for one at Stamford Target Store $15.99 with local pickup http://www.target.com/p/sterilite-lidded-hamper-with-wheels-white/-/A-14757137 CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 6:40 P.M. I threw out the garbage. I chatted with neighbors. I picked up the mail. I chatted with a relative. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 5:10 P.M. I chatted with a relative. I will now shower and clean up. There is no point going downtown to watch our more affluent resident dining out. I think I will stay home and slave away on my home computer network to see I can come up with some sort of new perspective, since after all I know something about personal computers versus hedge funds and politics. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 3:35 P.M. I had a telephone call from a relative at noon. I woke up at 1:45 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> 09/27/14 Saturday 5:10 A.M. I ate 8 ounces of Dannon yogurt. I will now shut down the primary work computer. I will then go to bed. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 4:45 A.M. Having been born in Alton, Illinois on the shores of the Mississippi River, I have been covering the shores of America and the World most of my life. Even Florence, Italy in the winter of 1972 had the Arno River, which does not look like too much, until there is rain in the Italian mountains, and then it can flood like in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1966_Flood_of_the_Arno_River CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 3:30 A.M. One of the first things I noticed, when my family first moved to this area in June of 1962 was that I frequently used to see a British Army Colonel walking around mid Lake Avenue coming and going from the Mark Twain showboat type of house. Thus I figured the British walk a lot and there were probably other British people in the area. The more affluent younger people had small British sports cars such as MGs, Triumphs, Mini Coopers, Autin Healys and Morgans which supposedly never started because they had twin Solex carburetors. There used to be a gasoline station next to the downtown fire house in Darien, Connecticut that had over 50 of the old British sports cars in their parking lot. Up in the north country of Kennebunk, Maine; there is this place http://leylandbritish.com/ , where one can still get them repaired. The Swedes hit back during the oil embargo of 1973 with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_P1800 which three friends of mine in Manhattan had the http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/pdf/brochures/IMP-1800ES.pdf which were fuel efficient. I even knew somebody with a new Porsche that one did not see around too much, so I guess he was working to pay it off. From what I know about Big City people, they dream about living in the country, but after a few boring weekends in the country, they miss the big time activity of the Big City life style, so they retreat back into their city life styles what ever that might be. I once noticed older people in Manhattan spend a lot of time sitting on the park benches in Central Park with their health care workers. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 3:00 A.M. I ate three ounces of mixed nuts. All Day FREEDOM SALE! - Inogen One G3 System - 12.5 Hour Battery Life - 2 Batteries - 5 Year Warranty & Lifetime Free Tech Support - FREE OverNight Delivery on Next-Day FedEx!....Don't Miss This Sale! CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 1:55 A.M. I ordered http://www.ebay.com/itm/20x-RG-59-Connector-Crimp-on-F-type-Coax-Coaxial-Cable-TV-Satellite-/191178216179?pt=US_Radio_Comm_Coaxial_Cables_Connectors&hash=item2c831c12f3 for $4.43 with free shipping. CIO <888> 09/27/14 Saturday 1:00 A.M. I tested the 50 foot coaxial cable that does not work, and I finally determined that it was the kitchen end that was malfunctioning. I was able to pull off the plug, and cut the cable to remove the bad part, and then I shoved the connector back on, and instead of trying to crimp it which would be tricky, I secured it with electrical tape. It works clear as a bell on the Sceptre LED television in the kitchen, but since it is secured with electrical tape, it can come lose if the television is moved, which is not necessary. However, I will use the new 50 foot coaxial cable, whenever it arrives. I removed the 25 foot coaxial cable, and I put it underneath the bed with the other coaxial cables. When I was reattaching the coaxial cable for the FIC sever at the splitter on the left side of the primary computer, I broke it, so I used a slightly shorter spare coaxial cable which should work just fine. I am starting up the FIC server in a short bit. CIO <888> 09/26/14 Friday 9:35 P.M. $135 apps and games free http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=pe_631100_124104240_pe_button/?ie=UTF8&hidden-keywords=B00CT2P6VA%7CB007ZF4GU8%7CB00A7W29BE%7CB00DV2D0JC%7CB008IJT0CE%7CB00JFKEQBK%7CB00701L5XS%7CB00EEL0LGY%7CB007NZ7LIY%7CB00966YLNQ%7CB00GWYAMZ6%7CB006J1P770%7CB00HWWRYC6%7CB00G1YAD42%7CB0096DZKZC%7CB0067Q42BY%7CB0051UP5NQ%7CB008X8RSTM%7CB0055S348W%7CB004GYNPL2%7CB00IIITT08%7CB00FHEP9XM%7CB00ESCJG1U%7CB005J0VPNC%7CB0055PSKE8%7CB0055S348W%7CB00J0HVB7U%7CB00A7Z8KAU&page=1&rh=n%3Aundefined%2Cn%3A2350149011 Cunard® 104-Year-Old Portal Bridge Presents $900 Million Problem for Rail Commuters - NYTimes.com The companies vying to turn asteroids into filling stations CIO <888> 09/26/14 Friday 8:50 P.M. $34.99 with free shipping VIZIO 32" 2.0 Home Theater Sound Bar - Refurbished (VSB207) CIO <888> 09/26/14 Friday 7:50 P.M.

I chatted with someone ordering take out food from Steam. I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I stopped by the www.apple.com computer store, and I showed them my Iview tablet and my Nokia Windows 8.1 Go Phone. They were not impressed, and just bragged Apple has $120 billion give or take. I watched them installing new sculptures at the Senior and the Arts center. I chatted with a local about travel in Europe. I toured CVS. I stopped by MacInspires, and I showed them my Iview tablet. I stopped by the www.chase.com bank at the top of Greenwich Avenue, and I showed them my Iview device. I stopped by the Greenwich Hardware store.
