Is it Summer Yet? Or is it a Mercury Retrograde? This will not be my best day blogging-- I have a massive migraine headache and my face and neck ache like a toothache. I've taken my Rx and my eyes have finally began to un-cross. Thank God. However I'm going to make this a light day.
Let-me-see...Jen, our shifted libary babe is trying to deal with her back going out. You had way too much fun kid! That will teach you not to sit day-after-day and not get enough exercise. I learned that fact of life from personal experience.
Doc's somewhere between Newark and the California Coast-- but unable to unclog his mail server remotely. That will teach him to go to New Jersey! Jeeze, bring Mom Searls to Santa Barbara. Too bad someone hasn't made virtual drano for email servers for moments like this.
Dave's still on the road to recovery, sounding fiesty as ever and cig free. Keep it up sweetheart! Ah on second thought may be I shouldn't have said it that way... ;-)
Susan's up North checking out the artwork at Stanford Med Center and working on her bedside manner. We still need to do lunch and compare lens when you get home.
Dr. David is at Harvard speaking at a seminar on Internet Law, I gone before-- but not this year. Go read his summary and check out the links. There's great stuff to be read. (I will once my eyes can focus.)
Jeneane's dealing with the Momma-Summer Blues. She feels like I do, minus the kiddle. I've wanted to hide for weeks, but can't.
Rosemary Clooney, the mellow-voiced singer who costarred with Bing Crosby in "White Christmas" and staged a dramatic comeback after her career was nearly destroyed by drugs and alcohol, has died. She was 74.
The LA Memorial has been closed to the public because there is no further seating left. Clooney will be buried in her native Kentucky on Friday.
In 1996, Clooney married Dante DiPaolo, a Hollywood dancer she had dated before marrying her first husban Ferrer. In addition to her husband and five children, Clooney is survived by her brother; a sister, Gail Clooney Darley; and 10 grandchildren.
The Peanut Gallery is reporting that Rick Tait got a nastygram from AOL/Time-Warner fires the first salvo in suppressing free wireless: Rick T. documents the letter he received about his alleged free wireless access point that connects to his AOL/Time-Warner (Roadrunner) cable modem service. .... [I]f you have a contract with an ISP that says you can't share bandwidth and you're running open access points, you are violating that agreement. [80211b News]
Personally with AOL/TW's stock in the crapper, they're looking for every buck they can find. Expect more of this crap to follow. Remember they want to control the horizonal and the verticle... no wait that's the "Outer Limits." At least AOL/TW doesn't own that!

My OmniBook Has Been Spending Too Much Time Reading Doc...
Yep. It finally happened. My Omnibook has finally decided to follow Doc's TiBooks into the service center this summer for it's semi-annual trip. Ho-hum... The other night the PCMCIA slot cover broke off, however I didn't notice it-- because the darn cover went INTO the slot and proceeded to bend four of the pins in slot #1. This made it impossible for me to insert the Intel Pro 100 network card. Picture ML unhappy. So off to the local F-word vendor for a $24.99 weekend special. Freakin' amazing! It works nearly as well as the Pro 100.
A comment to the wonderful people at HP's Technical Support and Service Center-- First off, thank you for your wonderful tech support and assistance in agreeing that the door should not have broken off and repairing my machine under the warranty. HOWEVER There is no reason in God's Green Earth you need to reformat my hard drive because you are replacing the PCMCIA insert in my notebook. So because you insist on reformatting my hard drive-- I will be one upping you folks-- by removing the hard drive and keeping it HERE with me while you replace the darn PCMCIA insert. Format that kids.
I have too much work on this hard drive to allow you to blow a years worth of work because its easier for YOU. This old broad ain't quite as stupid as you might think. (I'd give $25 to see the look on the tech's face when they notice the hard drive's not there.)
