Thinking about goal weight and maintenance
sorry it does with OE. It was, with the newest version only coming on when
I opened OE as I had told it not to be in the start up menu. I was frantic as it really screws with the screenreader if OE and IM try to open at same time. So I went through every preference turning things on and off, now, OE is fine, IM is only on when I want it to be and all other programs wait to be called as well, Lee, hope you get it worked out soon, nothing is so frustrating as not being able to fix it when you have dealt with it before. Joyce wrote in message ... Thanks Lee, but AIM doesn't work like that ... it isn't a default for anything. There is a box that asks if you want it to start up automatically. I have that unchecked, still tries to start on it's own. I'll figure it out someday. g Joyce On Sun, 16 Nov 2003 07:45:13 GMT, "Miss Violette" wrote: Joyce, to turn off the auto on aim uncheck the box that says you want aim as your default, Lee Joyce wrote in message news On Sat, 15 Nov 2003 10:39:57 -0800, Fred wrote: I know what you mean about the unwillingness to change.

But I hate the search function - I cannot find the links I want to edit them. Yeah, great update except they changed where they hide the data files .... such as mail, preferences, address lists, etc. I found this out the hard way, when making the change over to the new computer Tuesday (yup, I have me a new toy again). I won't even venture to guess how many times I have pulled these files from one computer and transferred them to another ... never once had a problem, always has been successful in not losing a single email. Not this time! I finally forced things to do what I thought I wanted, on first inspection it looked great. When I went in to answer emails I found that only addresses and stuff from June and earlier survived the transfer. Makes absolutely no sense to me at all! I finally ended up doing a quick hookup on the old puter yesterday (network connection, monitor, mouse and keyboard) - forwarded a few emails and printed out address book. It's working good enough now, but sure was frustrating at the time. And I can't figure out how to get thier popup stopper to work, can't find it anywhere in the settings. Or how to turn off the automatic start for AIM. sigh I suppose I'm better off waiting until I have the patience to play some more with it (heaven knows if that will ever happen). Joyce I do read threads in the order posted generally but would not mind being able to read them otherwise - sometimes I just want to quickly see the new stuff. I don't spend a lot of time in the newsgroups these days so reading the recent threads is the only way that I can keep up. I also would like to be able to search INSIDE threads and not just by subject/author. And I do that by actually, going inside the data-file using some older Dos tools, like Buerg's List program and an older search program (again, showing my age and my tool choices!) IIRC, the FIND option in Agent will also search the messages but I think that they have to be downloaded first. Otherwise it only searches the author and subject. OE is the same way. I guess they are searching the cache and not the newsserver. I have a subscription to Teranews and will download a block of messages if I am searching for something in the body of one of the messages. I like agent for background searching and downloading mp3 files when I have time to search. When I was not working last year I spent a lot of time searching the mp3 newsgroups. Now that I am working again, my time online is limited. I still have about 12 newsgroups and a bunch of yahoo groups to keep up with so I don't use agent that much these days. So what does Agent 2 have to offer besides and UPGRADE PRICE! (G) I do have Agent's newsgroup activated but only go there when I have a question - like how to move an email (accidently generated by hitting the wrong "reply" button) to a newgroup - can't be done other than by cutting-pasting but unless you can find the thread, it is out of place) Take a look he http://www.forteinc.com/agent/roadmap.php. One of the enhancements will be supporting multiple Pop3 and news servers. That will certainly attract people. The multi-newsgroups - yup. But it works now, as I wrote to Joyce - only manually. I have TheBat which does multiple pop3. I think my email reader, TheBat, is also close or has offered upgrades.... I did create another identify yesterday and added another webpage for pics. Which reminds my - I have to record it and its password for posterity. Keeping up with passwords drives me nuts, too. Got a good tool for that? (G) Do a google search on "Password manager". There are a bunch out there. I don't use them. I have an e-mail message that I use to keep track of my IDs and passwords. I use a select number of passwords so if I forget one it does not take me long to go through the likely candidates. Not the most secure but it works for me. That would work. The problem is sometimes I create them for a site on the fly and don't remember them. I have no idea who to get into Yahoo groups - I just get the email from the lists I'm already on!!!

For text newsgroups I don't see much difference between the worldnet "i" news server when I am using dial up vs when I am on broadband. The real difference comes into play when you are dealing with the binary newsgroups. Download speeds are capped at roughly 2x dial up speed hence the similar speeds. "Fred" wrote in message .. . Actually, that is the ftp program that I registered in order to upload to AT&T. I did find this newsgroup on the AT&T server, too but had already used cis and stick with it - that way my threads are not lost in the mayhem between servers. CIS has a proprietary upload program and there is NO access to upload using faster services, like dsl. At least, the last time I inquired that was the case - it was very slow and I was limited to how many pics I could upload at each session.

Yes, I just have not figured out a cascading set of links and I've loaded both the main and one or two others with a long series of "slides" altho, I have really had to reduce the image size (quality) to even fit them on.

For the Nikon, I actually priinted out the manual and took it with me
on the Sierra trip hoping to find time in the evenings to read it - never happened - Harry Potter was more interesting (G) It is magical and eerie - seeing things standing that are that old. And the mystery surrounding their abandonment just adds to it. What is even more fascinating is that if you look, you see the larger timbers - there are no trees of that size anywhere nearby - if I recall, 30 or more miles away - how did they move them BACK then? No horses or oxen - just men! Apparently, they cut them in one season and let them dry to allow them to lose weight (like WW). Then moved them the next year - still they weigh a lot.

I have a seperate popup blocker running now, so it sqashes the window in it's tracks. g Did you also check the AIM settings? Ok, finally found it. I must have been totally brain dead ... had the option turned off in AIM but still had the option turned *on* in the netscape preferences. Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh! Mozilla is very similar to Netscape 7. http://www.mozilla.org/ They both are written with the same Open source Gecko code. They also have another application called Thunderbird (mail/news only) and Firebird (browser only). They all look and behave the same. Truely from the same family of programs. I think the decision to not support NS happened within the past year. Had a lot to do with the fact that AOL bought Netscape. Long term the plan is to have Thunderbird/Firebird be their primary products. So are mozilla, thunderbird, firebird all owned by AOL now? I'm not an AOL fan myself ... but if they work, I'm willing to give them a try. And which of the three do you think is better? Only Netscape is owned by AOL and I think they are letting it die a slow death. Mozilla is a combined browser/mail/news in one program similar to the way Netscape is. Thunderbird and Firebird have the components separated into 2 programs (browser vs mail/news). I find the browsers very similar since they are both gecko based. Also similar to NS7. I haven't really used their mail or news programs yet. Still stuck with OE. One reason for trying the Thunderbird/Firebird pair is this seems to be the direction the Mozilla org is going with their product. Still experimental and under development. I'll check all three of them out, see what I like. For some reason I am recalling that my son is using Mozilla - not positive though. He and I both tried Opera, both had problems with it eventually freezing up our systems. I don't know if he went back to it or not when he built his new computer. I only tried OE once, but still avoid it as long as I can. Most viruses seem to be dependant on OE - even running my virus program, it's still a good enough reason for me to stick with what I've always had. g Joyce |

Oh yeah, I have come up with some rather silly colored eyes when trying to get rid
of the red. My dark eyed daughter looks rather silly with luminescent eyes ... gave them kind of an eerie glow.

Red Eye is entirely too complex. I should go over the tutorials again, since they do show how to lighten dark areas and lots of intricate fixes but much of it is very complex. Yup. In one of the earlier versions, the red eye was simple ... select, click, done. I just can't get the hang of it in 8. I can do the basic, but the eyes keep coming out looking funky and fake. They've made it way too difficult. Now I'll have to look into some other programs for ease of editing. My son likes photo shop, I tried it long ago but for some reason *complex* is sitting in my brain regarding that program also. I do search out NEW and creative applications and particularly, like utilities. I am willing to install and remove stuff like that. I like that the new Agent will make using two News Servers easier. But it can be done now but you have to manually create a separate directory structure which is not that hard - now that I know how. I see that they are going to Personalities - frankly, Eudora's Personalities totally lost me - never could get it to work. Just let me install my separate accounts for email and I'm happy. I don't use two news servers, so probably won't need the updated Agent .. unless there are some other valuable perks offered with it. On your advice, I did set up the BAT for multiple email accounts, I just forget to run it. I have my main email on netscape, only because I have tons of folders set up to save emails and I couldn't figure out how to do that on BAT. But my other emails are on BAT, I just forget to run the program. When things calm down, maybe I'll get in there and try to figure things out again. Well, I seem to stick with CIS for this place and one or two others and use AT&T for their support newsgroups. But even the current Agent can do that. I do have 3 email id's (ignoring the supplementary AT&T ones I've created for their webspace) I only use CIS, don't really have any need for another one. I have 3 emails ids that I use for various purposes. I don't need constant access to the other 2 (one is business, gets very little in email other than at tax time when the accountant needs to bust my ears - but being able to access all from one program is so much nicer than having to reopen Netscape each time I want to check the accounts.

I just happened to be 'behind' that large woman and did wonder if she would make it. Having lost weight, I was sympathetic to her situation and I really try to not be judgmental.

I did get a kick out of the photo you took of the backside of a woman trying to squeeze through a small doorway into an old building. I couldn't help but wonder if she was going to fit. LOL! Evidentally she did, as your photos further prove. G Thanks for sharing! Joyce On Sat, 15 Nov 2003 18:41:52 -0800, Fred wrote: I am not impatient and stop saying that!

It was a mixed set of a bunch of mountain hikes. I may try to redo that and post the link On Sat, 15 Nov 2003 16:35:08 -0600, Joyce wrote: Oh shush!

If they're moved, I'll hope you repost the new links so I can take a peek. Joyce On Sat, 15 Nov 2003 08:57:05 -0800, Fred wrote: Hey, slowpoke, use it or lose it (G) I will not move anything today. But I may try to reorganize these various links as Laura suggested, linking them from one master home page. I have been shrinking the quality and size of the images to get them to fit the space limitations. I would like to put the canada series up but that is one large trip!!!

On Thu, 13 Nov 2003 08:00:43 -0800, "Brenda Hammond" wrote: "Fred" wrote in message .. . Well, on Veteran's Day, Tues, I did do a hike and there was very little snow, at least, none making the hike slippery like the one on Sunday. The one I did on Tues, was the mountain that was the basis for that odd series "Twin Peaks." It is very close to Seattle and is more the foothills - about 3,400 feet of UP hiking but the last rain washed away all the icy snow that gets packed on the trail. Later in the year, I call it a vertical ICE RINK and sometimes use instep crampons to prevent a bad fall. Depending on location, there is from a few inches to about a foot or a bit more. But more is expected this weekend so mountain hiking will be coming to an end until cross-country skiing takes over. I will occasionally do snowshoeing when the conditions for skiing are bad but prefer the x-country skiing some of it very backcountry. The ICE RINK sounds dangerous, good thing you switch to skiing for awhile. I've never gone skiing or ice shoeing, but it sounds like fun and a good workout. It can be which is why I use special equipment. I prefer it when it is just dirt but when cabin fever sets in, I do it when the ski conditions are poor and I want good exercise. I am less agressive cross-country skiing than I use to be but still really enjoy the backcountry. I think I would prefer the ground being just dirt as well, but like you say, cabin fever could drive you nuts and getting outside does feel great, even if it does mean strapping on the crampons (I had to ask DH what these were) and going for a hike on the vertical ice rink! I don't get more than a few hundred feet above sea level here, so no need for all the safety equipment if out walking. I will see what I can upload. I made a music, accompanied slide show of a bunch of different hikes but it is too large to upload to my webpage. I have been taking the digital camera on most hikes when I think that I may capture different friends or slightly different lighting or color (Fall) but sometimes want to go a bit lighter in weight and leave it home if it is a repeat hike. Maybe I should try posting my Oregon backpack.... I'd love to see them and sure everyone else would too. I will have to work on them and annotate them and then see what kind of space I have on AT&T Sounds good. We're hoping to get a web page together at some point (soon as we find time), and once that's done I'll try to get some pictures of our area on there for everyone to see. I've got a few great pictures taken years ago from the top of the Caren Range, looking out over the strait toward Vancouver Island, then others looking across from the opposite side of the same mountain range, showing the inlets, Skookumchuk Rapids, etc. The view from way up there is really something.

Those pictures are in the old shorts but carefully posed (G) Besides, I really did not have much problems with those shorts - they were comfortable. And revealing problems were only when sitting in some positions. Yeah, I can imagine... Anyway enough of that imagining... I suppose with the winter weather moving in you don't get up into the mountains much this time of the year. There is probably a fair amount of snow too. Do you take pictures during every hike? I would really like to see more of them as the views from up in the mountains are beautiful. I probably will never get to do any hiking, at least not to the extent you do, so thoroughly enjoy your pictures and imagining myself way up there on some mountain looking down on everything below! What a rush that must be! On top of the world!! On Wed, 12 Nov 2003 20:33:00 -0800, "Brenda Hammond" wrote: You'll have to post some more of your pictures soon again Fred, the last ones were great! Just make sure that they are the ones of you in your *new* less revealing shorts! Or if you're brave you could post pictures of you in the old more revealing ones and give us all a thrill! |
