Thinking about goal weight and maintenance
Great pictures and what scenery. No wonder you love hiking so much.
Absolutely breathtaking. Next time how about including more pictures of yourself. g. "Fred" wrote in message ...

"Fred" wrote in message ... Agent TWO!!!! He asks SHOCKED! (G) I had seen mention of it but Agent is reasonably okay the way it is. Sometimes I get tired of all the upgrades and probably show my age and my unwillingness to change (g) I saw someone posting with version 2 headers but according to their website 1.93 is the current version. I guess I spoke too soon. Oops, I just discovered that they released version 2 to their beta team. So someone in the worldnet groups that I visit is on the beta team. That explains the headers. I know what you mean about the unwillingness to change. I keep trying different mail/news readers but always come back to OE6. I did change my browser to Mozilla and now Firebird only because IE6 refuses to work most of the time on this laptop. Can't get pages to load. 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. 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.

Website hacking is become a real problem out there. Have you tried Agent 2.0 yet? I'm looking for a newsreader that allows me to filter out cross posts. The trolls are getting more and more active. I don't like agent because of the way it displays threads. I like having the newest threads at the top of the screen not the bottom. Something unnateral about working up the screen to read the threads. Or do you just read the oldest first? "Fred" wrote in message .. . Since all the servers number differently, I figured I would stay with the cis news-servers. I have enough trouble moving between the desktop and laptop and keeping things straight between them - moving the right data files and indexes but not things like Window size, fonts, and placements. I use Agent and think I have it down - as long as I remember to move stuff back when I'm done. And in case you did not read it, Angelfire is now working again.

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. On Thu, 13 Nov 2003 02:08:12 GMT, "Laura" wrote: What restrictions are your referring to? You can upload to your AT&T accounts while on dsl. Not sure if you know about that. You do need a ftp program that supports ssl like ws_ftp Pro. You can also use the worldnet newsgroups to post here or did you already figure that out? (I see you are using your cis account to post) As for cascading set of links, check out the worldnet.help.pwp.* newsgroups. Some really talented people in those groups can help you figure it out. "Fred" wrote in message .. . 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. And while I have a cis account, I can only upload via modem due to their restrictions - forget it!

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!!!

I guess so.
As I wrote Joyce, I may try to link my links from some master home page. I also should probably restore the thumbnail frame so that folks are not forced to view all of the images. But the elimination of the thumbnails reduced the overall size of the "packet" which makes up the trip. Also removing (tediously) the drop-down list reduced some html size items, too.

I have become lazy and don't so as much backpacking as I had done. I
will admit that the weightloss has made it a lot easier. My feet still have limited mileage. And I kvetch (complain) anyway (G) on long days. I really like it. You get further in and away from people, altho, the Oregon trip was a very popular place but during camping we pretty much had nice private locations. And being out there to enjoy sunsets and sunrises is terrific. I understand setting priorities - the bike is more practical.

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.

My camera, so I am not in them as much or at all (G)
Thanks. It was a good trip. It was a fallback trip. We originally were going to Montana (and grizzly bears which made it easier to accept the change) but forest fires closed the area we wanted to go to. The Oregon trip also was altered by more fires down there. We were going to go to Hells Canyon for a night or two at the end but the storm while we were camping set more fires and closed that area and one or two other areas just west of where we were.

Join the "unwillingness to change club!"
Some of this upgrade stuff is driven by microsoft - how to make money continually if you have nothing new (not necessarily improved) to sell. The same with a lot of other software places now. I'm not sure that I need the latest stuff in Paint Shop Pro but did upgrade. Now there are tools that are completely beyond any digital stuff I will ever and i mean EVER use. 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.

They do post at the bottom of the newsgroup, but post in order from early time to most current time ... so I'm guessing I am reading them *down* and not *up* (I hit the next button and the page moves continually downwards, to the last message downloaded). It works great for me, since it's the exact same way I got used to reading the newsgroups when using the netscape reader. Unwillingness to change here too. I get comfortable, dislike some of the new quirks that are in the upgrades ... probably technical stuff that I really have no use for. All I need to do is read, reply and search here and there. g BUT ... remember I'm the one who still is using the netscape mail (about the only thing in netscape that I use now). I learned on it, became comfortable with it, am sticking with it. Joyce On Sat, 15 Nov 2003 08:00:56 -0800, Fred wrote: Agent TWO!!!! He asks SHOCKED!

Sometimes I get tired of all the upgrades and probably show my age and my unwillingness to change (g) I saw someone posting with version 2 headers but according to their website 1.93 is the current version. I guess I spoke too soon. Oops, I just discovered that they released version 2 to their beta team. So someone in the worldnet groups that I visit is on the beta team. That explains the headers. I visit the AT&T groups, too. DSL is the newest since the Angelfire stuff. And the email just to see if there are problems. There Spam filter is not doing much for my account!!! I did use their webpage stuff for a while and may again. I don't do too many newsgroups. GPS and this one are the main ones. I don't know much about the binary stuff - is that all bootleg or music or???? I know what you mean about the unwillingness to change. I keep trying different mail/news readers but always come back to OE6. I did change my browser to Mozilla and now Firebird only because IE6 refuses to work most of the time on this laptop. Can't get pages to load. I use Netscape 7.x (which follows mozilla). I really like the Tabbed browsing - now there was a GREAT UPGRADE. But I hate the search function - I cannot find the links I want to edit them. 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.

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.

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.

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.
