First word, from Don:
Friends Bill Lanoue and Lee Parmeter have both been crowing
and gloating because they have new Android phones. I'm
tech-challenged when it comes to cell phones; I've never
owned or wanted one (though Lisa has a tracfone which has
been awfully handy a time or two) and I've never been one
to be interested in the latest-greatest tech-gadget but I
can't help noticing that these guys are really enjoying
their new toys. Let me quote Lee for a minute just to give
you an example, this is from a recent post he made to our
Linux User Group...
---
My android phone is fantastic!
A swiss army knife that can do almost anything!
In addition to being a excellent 'Smart' Phone, it can
access your file server via ssh, mount partitions, take
control of any computer in the house via VNC, and even
change the channels on a MythTV or Roku box.
NPR.org announced yesterday that they
are creating an APP for Android.
Adobe Flash 10.x is coming this summer.
Bottom line, Android is Linux which
explains why it's awesome!
---
...in all honesty I don't have a file server in the house,
don't know what 'VNC' is (except I'm pretty sure it's a
Linux thing) and I don't own a MythTV or Roku box but still,
he sure makes it sound cool doesn't he? :)
Bill Lanoue sent a link to an article which shows that
Android (which is a Linux based cell phone operating system
developed by Google) is making inroads into the market.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-20003618-16.html
Lisa's tracfone is a plain vanilla cell phone which cost us
a total of $39.95 (refurbished) and we pay $19.95 every
three months for the service. She rarely uses it so she
always has minutes left that roll over. As of April 25th
she's got over 200 minutes accumulated and service is paid
up through July 25th. To my way of thinking, that's a very
'smart' phone. Still, Androids are pretty cool.
On the Our_Patch mailing list, for the past couple of weeks,
we've discussed taking care of our loved ones, quilting,
heavy equipment and my ongoing, often thwarted, attempts to
record some songs I've written. Drop us a line if you'd
care to join the discussion and I'll add you to the list.
See you next time.

I tracked down someone who might be an old friend of mine
but couldn't find a website or email address. All I found
was a 'snail mail' (postal address) and a telephone number.
I wasn't comfortable with the notion of calling and hated
the thought of typing a letter, printing it out, finding
an envelope and finding a stamp. To many chances to
get stopped cold by running out of paper, running out
of ink or being unable to find and envelope or stamp.
Instead, I typed it all out on this web site and gave
them 99 cents with paypal, in return for which they
printed it out, put it in an envelope put a stamp on
it and mailed it for me.
Very cool. http://snailmailr.com/send-letter

Section Five by Don.
There's an old song I love named 'Blues Stay Away
From Me'. I learned it from another fellow who
told me it was a Bob Wills song but I think he
was wrong because I've been unable to locate a
copy of the song performed by Bob Wills. It was
written, or at least copyrighted, in 1949 by the
Delmore Brothers. Soon after that Eddie Crosby,
Bing's brother, made a hit of it. Since then
it's been recorded by dozens of artists. On
this page, from Amazon.com, you can see the first
of 102 recorded versions they list (on 3 pages).
http://tinyurl.com/24tkvnj
Number 1 on the list is, of course, the Delmore
Brothers version. My favorite versions however
are #47 by the Sisters of Sheynville (a Klezmer
band no less!) and, on page 2, #77 by Asleep
at the Wheel. On the left side of the column,
in these listings, is a little square black
button with a white triangle inside it, like
an arrow, pointing to the right. If you click
on that little button you can hear a brief clip
of the recorded version listed to its right.
Here's a little history on the Delmore Brothers.

A Little Humor.
From our 'other brother' Bill (Beeyil) Lanoue.
Exercise for people over 50
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface,
where you have plenty of room at each side
With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms
straight out from your sides and hold them there as long
as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.
Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for
just a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags.
Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to get
to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand
and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.
(I'm at this level.)
After you feel confident at that level,
put a potato in each bag.

I snagged this from the Dec 31, 2007, Digest #2392 of
my sister Jo-Ann Burton's [sharinglinks] publicaton.
( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sharinglinks2/ )
An old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could
tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home.
He followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell
asleep in a corner. An hour later, he went to the door,
and I let him out.
The next day he was back, resumed his position in the
hall, and slept for an hour. This continued for several
weeks.
Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: 'Every afternoon
your dog comes to my house for a nap.'
The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to
his collar: 'He lives in a home with ten children; he's
trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him
tomorrow?'

are enjoying that, too. That's what we wish for you,
our readers; a beautiful Spring and a few days or weeks
with very few surprises. It could happen.
'Til next time,
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 and deserve 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.
The Internet: A Weapon of Mass Construction.
