First word, from Don:
I'm loving our new once-monthly publishing schedule. It
has de-stressed the process of meeting our deadline at a
time when our stress levels were elevated somewhat by
events elsewhere in our lives. What stress is that you
ask? We've both had the flu for about a month now.
Lisa's does house cleaning and has had to keep up with her
clients while I've had assorted odd jobs (some paid, some
unpaid) to get done. This has caused a delay in our home
building project. The house, the exterior at least, is
finished. Now I've got to convert the shed into an
apartment where we'll live while we finish the interior
of the house. I have the materials I need to get started
and I'm just about over the flu. With luck, I can get
started as soon as this issue is posted.
Something else I'm loving here lately is the medical care
I'm getting from the VA. We hate the two hour drive to
Temple (when I have appointments) but the quality of care
I get has been phenomenal. Another huge factor has been
the fact that, so far, the care I've received from the VA
has cost us nothing. Now that I'm drawing Social Security
and have 'official' income the VA will probably begin
charging me something but I'm sure it will be within our
means and I don't grudge the notion in the least. The VA
doesn't owe me anything, I owe them everything. While
my flu was at its worst I used Albuterol Sulfate ampules,
administered with a nebulizer, to help me sleep. I use
them so seldom that they aren't a regular item in the list
of my medications. I ran out of them while I had the flu
so I logged into the VA website... www.myhealth.va.gov/
... and sent a message to my doctor, explaining why I needed
them. He wrote me a 60 dose prescription with 11 refills
(so, next time, I can refill it myself with one click from
the website) and had the pharmacy mail me the prescription.
When you think about that, it's pretty amazing. I can also
create an in depth medical profile for myself on the VA
site, itemizing the OTC drugs, vitamins and herbal/mineral
supplements I'm taking. I can't imagine why I wouldn't
share this information with my doctor but, nevertheless, the
VA lets me chose whether or not my personal profile is to be
shared with my doctor. How cool is that?
So, life goes on and there are few dull moments. :)
See you next time,
Don
P.S. Have you heard my new band yet?

Back when I still had a couple of daughters at home I rented
a silly little movie called "Adventures in Babysitting".
There was a scene in that movie where an extremely mean
looking black man told the babysitter that 'Nobody gets
outa here without singing the blues' and then he proceeded
to play some awesome blues guitar. That mean looking black
man was Albert Collins and I'm embarrassed to say that I'd
never seen or heard of him prior to that movie but I didn't
waste any time getting to know him after that (videos).

Back in 2002, when I started writing an ezine for
maxpatch.com (now defunct) I spent countless hours
looking for decent freeware for my Windows 98 machine.
Much of what I found was actually adware, nagware, or
limited in functionality unless you popped for the
non-free version. Many of those apps are still out
there but with the advent of Open Source, computer users
were finally given the option for good quality, cost-free
software that didn't have a catch or a hidden agenda.

A Little Humor.
A priest and a rabbi are sitting next to each other on an
airplane. After awhile the priest turns to the rabbi and
asks, 'Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not
eat pork?' The rabbi responds, 'Yes, that is still one of
our beliefs.' The priest then asks, 'Have you ever eaten
pork?' To which the rabbi replies 'Yes, on one occasion I
did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich.' The
priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading.
A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest,
'Father, is it still a requirement of your church that you
remain celibate?' The Father answers 'Yes it is. The rabbi
then asked him, 'Father, have you ever fallen to the
temptations of the flesh?' The priest replied, 'Yes, rabbi,
on one occasion I was weak and broke with my faith.' The
rabbi nodded understandingly and was silent for about five
minutes and then he said, 'Beats a ham sandwich, doesn't it?'

Finally, he says 'I'm going to have to put him down.'
'What?, Because he's cross-eyed?' 'No, because he's
really heavy.'

Last word, from Lisa:
We've had some small success recording Don's band
and our friends' band 'The Ventilators'. I've made
them a Google Site with the music we recorded for them.
https://sites.google.com/site/theventilators/
We've used the free and Open-Source program Audacity to
record and edit sound files. I've learned a great deal and am
pumped to learn more. I ordered what looks to be a great
instructional book, The Book of Audacity;
http://bit.ly/feZOQu
Hopefully it will teach me in relatively short order the
ins and outs of audio editing. Looks like great fun!
We've spent the last month having and getting over the flu,
hope all of you escaped it this time around. Not fun, but I
did catch up on a lot of recreational reading. I've read more
in the last 3 weeks than I had in the last 6 months! There's
always an 'up' side if you look hard enough.
The adventure continues....

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.
