Don's Patch Issue #2004-08-01 from http://www.don-guitar.com
Hello again gentle readers. The editor geek is still seeking
gainful employment and I've finally added my donations page
to the website. It you'd like to reward my efforts with this
publication by making a donation, you may do so here.
http://www.don-guitar/donations.html
I'm still experimenting with my basic template for this ezine.
Moving this opening message to the top is one obvious
change. You may notice other differences. Let me know
if you like them.
I've had one request for making this an HTML publication.
As a concession to that request I'll soon begin placing
the most recent issues on a web page of my site
(as I did with the maxpatch ezine) and will place links
to those web pages in every issue. This publication will
however remain in the plain text format because it permits
me more content and fewer complications in publishing.
Another reader commented that I really need more subscribers
and that too is something I'll soon begin working on but it very
much matters to me how I attract new subscribers. I have no
gift for, or interest in, advertising and promotion. I refuse to
place ads in this publication unless I can find a sponsor who's
products or services I can recommend with no reservations
and even then I'll retain editorial control of those ads. I'm
not Paul Harvey but I like his style and I intend to emulate it
to the extent I'm able.
I'd much prefer to acquire new subscribers by referral. If you,
my subscribers, think enough of this ezine to tell your friends
about it that's fine with me and if I gain an occasional new
subscriber in the process, that's even better.
Remember, your input is always welcome. I value your suggestions
and comments, and I'm always willing to help you find answers to
your computer and Internet questions.

which is now on the home page of my web site,
using this nifty little app.

Some apps need to be mentioned often because they're just
worth it. Every issue of this ezine and all the pages on my
website were created with NoteTab Light. I've put off upgrading
to NoteTab Pro a long time but no longer. I just wrote the
check and it goes in the mail tomorrow.

A man and his wife were having some problems at
home and were giving each other the silent treatment.
The next week, the man realized that he would need
his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning
business flight to Chicago. Not wanting to be the first
to break the silence (and lose), he wrote on a piece
of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM."
The next morning the man woke up, only to discover it
was 9:00 AM and that he had missed his flight. Furious,
he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't woken
him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
(men just aren't equipped for these sort of contests)
Thanks Lisa.

readers, please accept my apology. You may not
be finished with this one before the next one is
published. *grin* Just for the record, the maxpatch
site is online again but there are a few housekeeping
links that lead to nowhere.
I added (and updated) a page of my favorite "costless
applications" to my website because I kept having
to refer to my file copy of the page to answer questions
I got in my email. If you're interested, you'll find that
page here: http://www.don-guitar.com/donspick.html
I've also enlarged Lisa Miller's section of my website
adding some of her recent artwork. I think many of
you will enjoy these pages. Have a look
http://www.don-guitar.com/lisamain.html
As time goes by and I continue to ascend the computer
and internet learning curve I hope to add more and more
content to my site. I think it's a terrific adventure and I
hope you'll hang around to see how it comes out.
Thank you all.

The most important people on the Internet, for you and I as computer
users, are software developers. The world's coolest computer, without
software, is like a car without fuel. It might look great, but what
can it do? It doesn't matter who produces the software you love and
use regularly, the developers of that software need your support.
A bit of advice from Internet veteran Bayard J. Fox:
New computer users are often in awe of the things you can get without
cost on the Internet. There can be hidden costs for the unwary. Use a
"throw away" email address to register, and be constantly on guard
against giving away personal information. Use a firewall, and provide
only the barest minimum of information on questionnaires.
