Don's Patch #58 from http://www.don-guitar.com November 15, 2006
First word, from Don:
I may not be able to post our personal news page or the online
version of this ezine for a few days because FTP access to our
site is currently blocked and I haven't been able to determine
why. I won't be able to upload anything until the block is
lifted and I've no idea how long that will take to accomplish
so, if you're in the habit of reading our personal news page,
check back once in a while, it'll be updated as soon as our
web host permits me to upload the page.
I've got a canker sore on the underside of my tongue. I rarely
get one of these and have never had one under my tongue.
It's very painful to swallow and difficult to eat anything.
I did some research on canker sores but it wasn't very helpful.
With treatment it should be gone in about a week, or, if I leave it
alone, it'll last about seven days. *sigh*

In better news, the nice folks at Flashpeak have assured me
that yes, Slimbrowser works with IE7 so I can go ahead and
download IE7 if I want. I don't use Internet Explorer, nor will
I but I really like Slimbrowser, which runs on DLLs from IE.
I've also downloaded Firefox 2.0 and I'll install it when I have
some time to put it through it's paces and check it out.
Eventually..........

A one time musician reaches adulthood (it does happen) gives up the
rock and roll life style and marries. He gets the mortgage and the kid.
The child reaches his teenage years and hearing of Dad's youthful
adventures decides that he too would like to become a musician.
Dad says, "Okay, but you must do this properly and take lessons on
the instrument. What do you want to play?"
Junior replies, "I want to be a bass player."
"Fine," says the proud Dad and he goes out and buys a Junior a bass
and amp and arranges for the lessons. Junior returns from his first
lesson and Dad asks how it went. "Great!" says the lad,"I learned all
the notes on the E string."
"Terrific!", Dad replies.
The next week Junior returns from the 2nd lesson. Dad asks again
how it went. "Cool", says Junior, "I learned all the notes on the A
string." "Good progress," smiles Dad.
The next week Dad comes home to find Junior sitting with his
Nintendo. "Hey, I thought you had a bass lesson today. " Junior
looks up and says, "Yeah, but I blew it off, I've got a gig."

=================================
Last word, from Lisa:
Recently Don's mother broke her hip and a she has a number of other
health concerns. While googling various subjects and talking to doctors
and nurses, we kept hearing the phrase "quality of life". It's a stock
phrase, most people use it but never think about what the word means
in their own life. The subject is ephemeral, no one has the same
definition.
Take a few minutes to dwell on your "quality of life". What would make
your life happier, more fulfilling? What would make you pause as you
were going to sleep and say, "I did good today." Usually, it has nothing
to do beating the clock, acquiring something, or 'winning' a conflict.
Sometimes it's reading a story that touches your heart, cooking for a
loved one, or openly admiring a friend's accomplishment.
This Thanksgiving as many of the family as can make it will be coming
for the day at our house. I'll be meeting some family members for the
first, but certainly not the last time. I'm trying not to stress out about
cleaning, cooking, whatever; we're pretty busy with mom's full-time
care, doctors,nurses, therapists, etc.,and trying to keep a few odd
jobs but still and all...
I have a wonderful quality of life.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Lisa

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.
