What's the worst possible thing that could happen to this blog? Hows about GeoCities closing down? Well it's true. I saw the notice yesterday. If I figure out how to transfer KindlyRat to another blog site, What happens to the 750 Google references to this site? What happens to all those GW-BASIC people and the SailRigs people? What happens to my world-wide fame and all my groupies?? What happens to my spot in WikiPedia? What happens to my immortality?

Recipe Puppy searches for a recipe using the ingredients you have.

Microsoft Visual Basic, C#, C++ Express! These are abbreviated and free versions of their full blown versions. I think you have to have dotNet to run them. DotNet is also free bye the way.

My first dictionary.

Tea Party Signs.

Python invasion of Florida.

My heart broken again! A report from Cuba on NPR says that there are no cheap rents in Cuba. He says the cheapest you can do is renting a room in someone's home and going from there. He says other that beans and rice there is very little to eat even in the restaurants. There is a daughter of Cuban refuges that I was hoping would take me to Cuba with her on a now-legal visit.

Here's an exciting story about changing BASIC to Java.

That pitiful Tea Party that the Republicans put on is being spun by the talk show bigots as a "Huge Sucess!". They are saying that CNN and the other major news organization are in a conspiracy to downplay the Tea Party.

Here's some more about JavaScript's new version. This story makes no sense at all to me.

Yet again I find myself in some mental traps and must dig out my copy of How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World by Harry Browne the libertarian. Yes I am a bleeding heart liberal, but even I must find escapes for my sanity. Harry Browne sets my head on straight most the time.

Lego Jesus!

I've finally figured out how to keep from being the "computer guy" that everyone goes to for everything. First say something like that you won't do it for them but you'll "teach them" how to do it. Then tell them to learn to use their mouse and set them up to play Microsoft solitaire. When they get pretty good at that, tell them the "Quick Brown Fox" message and have them work on typing that for a few weeks. Nobody has ever learned the "Fox" message and soon finds another "computer guy". Most people that haven't learned computers yet just want you to be their secretary. They just want to jerk you around. They feel that they are "above" learning menial task like that. They see themselves as "Big Picture" people.
