Don's Patch Issue #2005-10-01 from http://www.don-guitar.com
I've heard it said that the older we get the more we hate to learn new
things but I don't know how true that is. I've always claimed to hate
learning new things but when I'm actually in the middle of learning
something new I'm normally having so much fun that I may well
forget to complain. That hasn't been the case this week however.
I've been complaining loudly and often. We now have Verizon DSL.
Getting DSL hooked up and working on my newer Win2k system
was fast and easy. Persuading it to work with my old Win98 system
(Dell, 266 MHz, OptiPlex GX1) has, so far, evaded my best efforts.
I know I should be able to let go of the old computer, the new
one has worked beautifully for the last seven months, but the old one
has earned it's place as my backup system . Even if the description is
merely an honorary title I'd still like it to work with my DSL service.
The temperature is 110 (that's Fahrenheit, it's a little over 43 Celsius) in
the sunny village of Tow Texas today and our central air unit is a little
overburdened so it isn't quite as cool indoors as one might wish but one
is, nevertheless, grateful to be working indoors. *grin*
I converted the temperature here:
http://www.onlineconversion.com/temperature.htm
but I could also have used Johannes Wallroth's tiny little Unit Converter
http://www.programming.de/ (click on "Downloads" and scroll down
the page to find it) or Versaverter.
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,7701,00.asp
I hope it's cooler where you live.

This may well be the most poorly designed museum site I've ever
seen. Navigation is convoluted and confusing; links which lead
to exhibits are several pages deep and often in a different place
on the introductory page. The site also makes extensive,
obsessive, compulsive and offensive use of flash in it's
navigation and exhibits. Flash for it's own sake is not a pretty
site (pun intended) but, for all of that, some of the exhibits are
powerful and moving. It will be particularly difficult for those
having dial-up connections to explore the site but it may be
worth the wait. *shrug*

Because I started with it, I'll finish with it but I much prefer
Slimbrowser. http://www.flashpeak.com/
Slimbrowser is highly configurable but setting it up is challenging
because it's so complicated. In my case, for example, there are
very few default settings that I haven't altered and, because
Slimbrowser uses the "guts" (DLLs) of Internet Explorer, it retains
some of the vulnerabilities of IE. Both Slimbrowser and Firefox
have built-in pop-up blocking but I've noticed that some websites
have found ways around the blocking lately (Firefox gets fewer
than Slimbrowser). For a regular sort of person (I hesitate to
say "normal") I think Firefox would be a far better choice and I'll
keep it updated on my system just in case I change my mind
later. Here's some commentary from a fellow who's definitely
switched. http://www.scottberkun.com/blog/?p=115

I didn't get the "babble" page updated but that's ok I guess. It's
not supposed to be a blog after all. We seem to be busy all the
time but we can't prove it by our bank balance. *grin* I was
self employed for twelve years (in communications electronics)
and the think I liked best about it was not having to pay taxes.
The think I like least about it was never having any money in
my pocket. I loved my work only made a profit one year out
of twelve. I used to say I was "self-employed, badly". I think
there's some arcane secret to being self-employed that I just
never learned but that's ok, I love it and the house payment
was made this month so, as usual, life is good. See you
next time.

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.
