For two days now I've been missing most of you. I saw one post from
me yesterday and today one from posted through Supernews by John.(JB). Did all of you guys go somewhere else and just didn't tell me so I couldn't find you? Or could it be my ISP that is not sharing? That's not nice! :( -- Hal Middle Georgia, Zone 8 http://tinyurl.com/2fxzcb |

My screen shows one on the 16th and one on the 17th and none in the
moderation que. Looks as though it is not your isp. Must be something about mid-October.that makes ponders think more before posting. Jim |

I tried Ubuntu, but my hammer and chisel background wasn't helpful. :( I have found that my WiFi signal reaches all around my pond, so I can stay in touch with the Internet even on the far side of the pond. I have also noticed that with one DVD of openSUSE Linux it shrinks the Windows XP partition and installs Linux so that even the built-in wireless connection in my laptop works perfectly with Linux (it also found my built-in card reader, the USB ports, just about everything) with virtually no input from me. I had to tell it what time zone I'm in, and what language to use, that sort of thing, but the installation was virtually automatic. The end result is that now I have a dual-boot system, that is, when I turn it on, it prompts me to either select Windows or Linux. To make matters even sweeter, there is a program called "Wine" that lets you run lots of Windows programs under Linux. As a matter of fact, I'm using Agent (a Windows program) with Wine running Linux right now. Vista's not quite as straightforward right now but I have a dual-boot machine running Linux and Vista. It's a little harder (not much) but it can be done. I don't want to say it's so easy even a caveman can do it, but it is certainly not beyond pondfolk. -- Galen Hekhuis I have no recollection of recalling that... |

I sent this yesterday (10/19) but I didn't see it reach the group, nor the
moderating page? I've been busy putting the ponds to bed. Last weekend everything got trimmed, and/or removed from the ponds and the screens put on. This weekend I'll be putting the filter in winter mode, or shutting down completely (lily pond). Looking forward to winter's break.... but not winter itself. Already suffering the affects of wanting to sleep more, and hard to get up in the AM. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |

Also sent one that I never saw on the

odd you should mention. just today I gave my students an article to read
http://www.unc.edu/news/archives/apr...apy040405.html discussing a scientific basis for treating SAD. I dont suffer like my mother did. I also dont have to get up early and I do like the little twinkle lights and because the birds are where I sleep there is a night light on, the TV is always on (volume way down, lights flickering) and the birds wake me in the morning to their singing. However, a friend has to get up and go to work at the crack of dawn so I went looking for a dawn simulator for her and the least expensive way is a "plug" that turns any lamp into a light that slowly ups the brightness in the room over 1/2 hour. here it is http://tinyurl.com/285tzj $30 Ingrid On Sat, 20 Oct 2007 19:05:24 CST, ~ jan wrote: Looking forward to winter's break.... but not winter itself.
