Joni Mitchell Puts If to Music.

There is an article on NPR.com about Joni Mitchell and her latest music. It is worth reading of you are a fan, or planning to become one in the near future. I listened to some of the cuts featured on the site and watched the provided video of Ms. Mitchell singing her coyote song on a 1979 tour. This was all good for me.

What I, being a fan of Rudyard Kipling, found most fascinating was the song she did putting his poem If to music. Very nice. Very nice indeed. As I was listening to it, rendered mostly word for word from the original, I wondered how she would handle to final five words.

She changed them. Much in the same way the man who recently re-recorded her song Yellow Taxi modified the last words of that song to fit in with his gender.

I have no problem with this. It is the general message, akin to the now popular lists used to manage life, that I love. I read it to my son every year on his birthday. I don’t change the last five words.

NBC’s Chuck is not Jake

Jake 2.0, a short-lived series on SciFi, ran along the same premise of computer technology invading a nerd and making him valuable to the “intelligence” community. Jake 2.0 ran on the Canadian reality while Chuck has California based Corporate Broadcasting’s version of reality as its base. Neither has any idea what it is the people in the CIA and the NSA do.

Both have them as active killers on US soil. The CIA agent stabs half a dozen people on the dance floor and no one notices, except the NSA agent who a few moments ago told his minions that it would be alright to kill the CIA agent, in the club, in LA, if she got in their way. On what planet do these people reside?

As for TV science, similar to cartoon physics, the nano-robots in Jake 2.0’s body were somewhat more believable than the mental download Chuck receives staring into a laptop’s screen for several hours without blinking or going to the bathroom. One saving grace is his sidekick. I haven’t seen a good sidekick on network television for a while.

We will give it a chance, it has been put on the subscribed list on TiVo but its space there is not guaranteed for the season.

iTunes Problem

The Apple updater seems to have assassinated my iTunes.

About a third of the way through the update it froze and said it couldn’t find the .msi file at a subdirectory that was the subdirectory on the last laptop on which it was installed, but not the directory to which it was installed on this laptop.

So, I dutifully directed with the browse option to the right directory.

Nope, it said, that wasn’t the valid directory. Okay, forget this update, I thought. I hit the cancel button and it uninstalled itself. That’s what I thought it did. Then I tried to start iTunes. The shortcut didn’t work, so I went to the program’s directory to find most of it deleted. (Not the music files!!!)

No problem, I said again. I’ve been working with software long enough to know these things happen. So, I downloaded a new copy, using the control panel I first deleted the currently semi-installed version. Then I tried to reinstall it. ¾’s of the way though the installation, same message, same problem.

I went into the registry, deleted all references to iTunes , ran two registry fix programs and tried to reinstall it again. NOPE, Sam error message...

MediaMonkey, here I come!!!!

Atlantis WordProcessor.

There is another editor available that I like mostly because of the retro-sound effect that is a default feature. It is called Atlantis Word Processor. Having first learned to type on a 1940’s black and white manual typewriter in my father’s office, the sound of the keys soothes me to some degree.

There are other default sounds and word filling is a somewhat startling when you first encounter it. I will go over the sounds when I am finished typing this entry for the blog. There is what sounds like a cellphone ring if you stop typing for a moment. It will be fun trying to figure this one out.

The Bug Isn't Funny, But...

This link discusses a dangerous bug to the older version of OpenOffice.org. It goes on to say this bug does not effect 2.3 and is only present when .tiff files are opened from another OO.o file.

What is funny here is the chatter that follows this message on ZDNet. Talk about blue and red states. This debate is MS and OpenSource all the way. Humanity always seems to find a reason to fight.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. I would say grow up, but that doesn't seem to help. In fact, I think the grown-ups are much more dangerous.

OOo 2.3 vs. Word

In Windows Fanatics they explain how to display the page margins when in Word.

I've never felt a need to do that, but was curious as to how it is done in my default editor, Open Office Text, 2.3. I was very surprised to find it a prominent choice in the pull down menu under View.

Another reason to like Open Office.

Browsing on Thunderbird

I installed the Thunderbrowse add-on to Thunderbird this evening.

It works exactly as it says it does.

That's perhaps why it seems so weird. It does turn the message window into a browser.

If you use the Penelope three pane view and full screen you effectively have the email on the left and the browser in the right view message window.

Install any of the various gCal add-ons and it's an all in one program, email, browsing and online scheduling as your desktop.

Care to Buy the Magna Carta? No, Seriously...

When I saw the headline in this morning's New York Times, "Magna Carta is Going on the Auction Bloc." I didn't believe it. I knew it was on display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., but I thought it was in possession of the United States. But, it would seem not.

It was on loan from the Ross Perot family. They now want to sell it to raise money for medical research and help veteran's familys.

Will the next person who buys it lend it back to the archives or is it going to be someone whose source of wealth is from oil? Might the English want it back?

If I was them, I would.

The Big Bang Theory is Funny!

I must admit, that is not something I thought I would ever write. In the past there was nothing about the big bang theory I found in any way humorous. Now that it is a TV sitcom, between How I Met Your Mother and 2 and 1/2 Men, I can say that.

It can honestly be said, if you read blogs, you will find this show funny.

When I Was a Kid...

There were at least a dozen local papers. Some were morning papers and some evening. There was also the afternoon edition of the morning paper with stock prices. The evening papers were for the sports scores and the morning papers were to find out what happened in the rest of the world while we were sleeping.

But on Sunday, they all published in the morning. Each paper had comics that only ran in that paper. Then syndication happened and they started running their own and a few of the syndicated strips.

As the number of papers dwindled so did the comic strips. The ones that survived were those in syndication.

Enough history.

The point I started to make before the lecture was that I no longer go to the Sunday paper for my comics fix. I go to News Yahoo.com's Comics page. I have a few attached to the MyYahoo! page but on Sundays I need to go to the core site and browse them all. It's a worthy thing to do.

US State Dept Has "Blog Team."

In yesterday's NYT, there was an article about the State Dept.'s "Blog Team." It is a very serious article about a very serious subject. It shows that blogs are becoming what used to be the posters in 19th Century Paris. The call to arms and the plea for peace.

But now the poles and walls of Paris are the laptops and PDA's of the colleges, the cybercafes in China and the middle east. But like the posters, there is a limited space in the blog entry without links to more in depth information. And like the posters, the blurb excites the crowd; the crowd looking for direction, any direction.

We have let the monkeys out of the cage. Now let's watch the fun but be ready to clean up the mess. -30-

Warmer March Because of Daylight Savings?

There is a pdf file going around that contains a copy of a letter printed in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette paper that, quite indignantly, blames the warmer March weather on the Federal Government's decision to move the change-over to daylight savings time to an earlier date in the year.

The last paragraph of the letter reads: "Perhap this is another plot by a liberal Congress to make us believe that global warming is a real threat. Perhaps next time there should be serious studies performed before Congress passes laws with such far-reaching effects." Signed (Name) Hot Springs. It is dated April 16, 2007

The debate here is, is this a tongue in cheek inclusion by the manager of Letters to the Editor, or is it serious? The vote is towards it being serious because, according to Wikipedia, this is a conservative paper.

Oh, dear...

Looking for off line SquareSpace Editors

We're looking for an off line editor for SquareSpace. This is the OpenOffice Text Writer with the blogging add-on. We couldn't set it up with SquareSpace. Googled all over the place for settings and couldn't find any.

Then we tried Ecto. Same story.

So, instead we used OpenOffice to post this to our WordPress blog and here at Belltower News. After a reboot we were able to get Ecto to acknowledge the existence of this blog, listing the last ten entries but it wouldn't post the message we typed.

Settings again, I am sure, but we like an offsite editor that gets the URL of the site and figures out the rest.

Are we dreaming?

No, some do well here while others do well there.

Mexican Immigration to Canada

A few hundred years ago, in my teens, I considered migrating to Canada to join what was then called the RCMP. Not being a totally foolish teen, I did some research.

I discovered to be a member of the RCMP required Canadian citizenship. To acquire this citizenship I would need to live in the country over a certain number of years. Then I visited Montreal in midwinter. These two things discouraged me.

Now, the New York Times is running an article about Mexican immigrants coming from Naples FL, to Windsor, Ontario.

It is near the end of September. I can say from first hand experience, Windsor's winter weather is nothing like the weather in Naples, FL. I believe some people are in for quite a shock.

I wish them well in their odessy. I hope the officials there treat them with human kindness. It's not something this country has done.

But, I also hope they survive the winter.

Hopefully the last Last Comic Standing...

The only way you could get me to watch another Last Comic Standing is for there to be a Reader's Digest version. I can't imagine what people without TiVo did. Wait, I know! They changed the channel. But, it was like a car wreck, as long as you're not a victim, you want to watch the rescue to make sure everyone survives, or not.

Or, closer, a young person down a well. You know they're alive, but it takes forever to get them out. Take that, then collect the worst comics on the face of the earth, the ones with the free time, the clones already created by the past two seasons this show has survived, and have them comment on the rescue operation and make it funny.

I have decided, even if they do a Reader's Digest version, I'll wait for it to show up on Google News, right below whatever is going on Florida... always something going on in Florida...

Geeze, Loise!!!

Mea Culpa to commandN!

The comment below was left on a blog entry in August that we made about commandN.

Brian is absolutely correct.

We miss Mike Laz's lively interaction with Amber.

In our defense, no matter on which show, we did see Leo standing, sitting, etc. next to Amber so often we identify them as the pair.

We ask for a mea culpa from the entire crew in giving credit where it wasn't due.

Brian McKechnie said...
To be clear - Leo never had anything to do with commandN except for a few appearances.
Mike Laz was the original co-host/founder but left after episode 69.
We're at 103 now and will continue to do it until people stop watching.

Open Office and IBM_NYT Article

IF you are interested in Open Office software you want to read this article in today's NYT.

I.B.M historically has not been “with it” in competition with MS. But now that the Big Blue is not so big in this arena, they're hooking up with us MS rebels in the Open Source cause. I hope this is good news and they're not bringing their bad mojo into the camp.

There was a time IBM could be where MS is now. In fact there would be no MS. But they went the way of Ma Bell and stumbled over their own blind sided hubris. Have they eaten enough humble pie to have seen the light and understand what Open Source means? Or, are they coming in thinking they'll run the show?

Call me paranoid but I've seen this company do just that. -30-

OOO 2.3 Update

What I remember most about Open Office was the length of time it took to load. This seemed true of most anything coming out of Sun with a Java base. I just installed the new 2.3 version. It loaded very quickly after the obligatory registration bit in the beginning. What disturbed me was the constant interruptions from the firewall.

This program seemed to be in constant communication with the people at Sun. I am very curious as to what they are saying to each other.

The AutoCorrect seems to have a problem if you don't capitalize a word that should be so. I will look in to the documentation about that one.

There was a quick mention of extensions on the installation page. I was too eager to get to the installation to see what that is all about. Perhaps after the family goes to bed I'll go back and see.

Bay Bridge Rebuild Time Lapse

This LINK to the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Update on the Metropolitan Transportation Commission website was found on BOING-BOING

The Alienist Was Great, but..

Caleb Carr's second tome, The Angel of Darkness, took me forever to read. It's 623 pages could've been cut down to half of that without any loss of storyline. The unfortunate narration by what is supposed to be a reformed feral 19th Century youth, with the constant use of the word "what" for "that" made the reading even more tedious.

Carr's other book, The Alienist, was a must read. I picked it up and found myself taking it everywhere to get to the exciting ending. The Angel of Darkness, however, was constantly put down to pick up another book, only to get back to it when there was nothing else to read. I was determined to finish it.
I found the solution to the problem obvious and the end of the evil one contrived. The attention to 19th Century New York was an injection instead of part of the story. If you enjoyed The Alienist, do not feel obligated to rush out and buy its sequel. -30-

Honor Flights

On CBS's Sunday Morning today was a piece on the Honor Flight organization that started in Hendersonville, North Carolina. They transport those elderly veterans who still live to see the WWII Memorial in D.C.


My father was a WWII veteran who died over thirty years ago. He took me to the memorial in lower Manhattan where the names of the war dead were inscribed on large stone walls. A lot of large stone walls. The fact that this monument was in his own town was good enough for him. He never spoke about the need for one in D.C. He didn't need it but this generation and generations to come do so they don't forget.

Locally in Massachusetts there are memorials in each of the over 300 towns. The most prominent is always the Civil War memorial. This is because so many young men from the Commonwealth died in bloody that war. In many, if not most, there is a standing statue of a soldier leaning on his rifle. He is looking off into the distance, alway south, keeping guard.

How soon will the ones for Iraq start looking for space?

We can't forget.

We won't forget the dead and the still living veterans. What I don't want is a an honor wall for Iraq as large as that for the WWII or the VietNam veterans.

It is a Saturday and I have the house to myself. There should be something to write today, but it is cloudy and my dishwasher doesn't work. Mice ate the wires. It tool $135.00 for the repairman to say that. It was free for him to tell me I needed an electrician. Crap!

One of these Weekends...

I just completed filling in my Google Calendar for the rest of the year to coincide with the school calendar. It has four layers, the first two - appointments of a work and personal nature. The third is a layer showing the phases of the moon and the fourth national holidays.

When I first started tinkering with the Google calendar, I searched around of for special calendars to enhance it. I found what has to be close to a dozen. It took several months to whittle it down to these four. The other plug-in is the five day weather icons.

Then along came Lightning. This is the calendar module for Thunderbird.

Coming from MS Outlook, we expect a calendar to be part of the email program. Now it is. However, I find I am more likely to open the Google Calendar in Firefox than to hit the tab to open Lightning. Too much of a good thing? I don't think so. The Lightning calendar is linked to both the work and personal calendars, so when I make changes, they appear almost instantly on Lightening. I would like different colors for information from different calendars, but not yet.

If I don't have Internet access, the information is still there for me.

On a totally different topic, today is the anniversary of the Attica prison riot in upstate New York. I was overseas at the time of this blot on the country's history, but I think it was a major tipping point in history and should be remembered.

Jaiku Comments have no limit.

In one of my first Jaiku comments I mentioned not understanding the use of a blog with a 140 character limit. CAW commented:

"My guess is that this is to promote the notion of putting in lots of
quick little random thoughts throughout the day, rather than writing a
few large treaties. Jaiku is, after all, a micro-blogging
site. However, you do sometimes see people start a message with
basically a teaser subject within the 140 characters, and then
immediately comment on their own Jaiku with the lengthier details."

Now that makes a lot more sense for me. I will probably most use it to make quick Jott entries open for later comment. Just when we gave up finding new ways to blog, Jaiku and Jott come along and wake us up!

Spare Time

In the last hour I have signed up for Buzzword, created a Jaiku account and set up my Jott to add information to this blog and to the "bloget" at Jaiku. All that from an email form Jott that I haven't finished reading yet.

The idea is to be able to add information to your blog from a voice message left on you Jott account. At first I could see no use for this. Then it occurred to me, unlikely though it may be, I could be out there in the cruel world witness to some newsworthy incident and, instead of calling the Boston Globe or NYT, I could just post the story on my blog. How bloody self centered would that be?

In one of the comments it says that the author is a blog genius. I can't argue with that.

The Children of Hurin

Let's begin with my relationship with Mr. Tolkien's work. When I went overseas a long time ago, I brought the Lord of the Rings trilogy with me. I survived, it didn't. By the time I returned, the pages had been taped together so many times, the yellowing cellophane tape crumbled in the tropical climate.

At the airport on my return I was greeted with hugs and the gift of a red leather-bound edition of the trilogy and later a green leather-bound copy of The Hobbit.

I have a copy of Farmer Giles of Ham, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, Smith of Wooton Major and The Lost Road.

The Silmarillion is well read and annotated by me and friends.

So, at the very least, we can say I am a fan and have been one for over three decades.

Now... The Children of Hurin.

I read it cover to cover filled with dread at every page. Christopher Tolkien's stiff writing style is more evident in this volume then any of the others. That and the story is SO DISMAL.

Unless you feel a need for more stories from Middle Earth, please don't read this. If you are in any way leaning toward depression, don't read this.

If you are, like me a fan of the old man himself, buy it, put it on the shelf right next to the Lost Road (and other writings) and never open it. If you do read it I recommend reading The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and wander by the Withywindle River as an antidote to the black cloud of doom that will have enveloped the core of your very being.

Cali Lewis: Be Careful When You Start Watching

It was one of those early morning things:

Browsing around, through some link or another, I ended up at GeekBrief TV. I had forgotten what fun it was to watch Cali Lewis and her infectious good humor. I know one other person on the earth who so honestly projects such bonne femme.

The thing is, I am in no way, okay maybe in a little way, a gadget freek. I find a gadget, like a car, and use it until it doesn't work anymore and then get a new one. I don't have to have the newest. This could be why I am still using my HP iPod. Let's see you find a HP iPod anywhere!

Back to Cali. The problem with her infectious good humor is just that, it's infectious. All of the work I planned to do this morning before the family rose, out the window. I went to the PodShow.com and watched every episode back to April. The Road Trip!! Who would think of doing a pod cast from Old Faithful?

Thunderbird Growing?

TechCrunch has an entry dated July 23, 2007 entitled Mozilla Ponders Thunderbird Spin-Off.

I came across it when I was following another link from lifehacker on the Top 10 Firefox features that don't require extensions.

The article concerned me because I am a devoted user of Thunderbird and Firefox.

It's sort of like having a car where you can tweak this hose and that fluid to make it run just a little better. It is also not a ponderous and dangerous program like targeted MS Outlook. Thankfully, I hope, the article was saying Mozilla was going to spend more time working on Thunderbird. I say "I hope" because of the line popular in New England, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Deezer

As you may have learned from previous blog entries, I do like to play music while writing. The latest option to do that can be found at Deezer.com. It was one of the places we discovered from visiting Emily Chang's eHub website last night. We were too tired to give it any time. Now we're too busy to give it much more.

We did have time to explore its interface and play a few of the songs. Sebastien Schuller's Sleeping Song was perfect as a lullaby song. (I mean that in a nice way.)

It is French.

Clicking the tiny American flag in the flag field on the upper right of the screen will bring you to the English interface. If you are interested in songs in other languages, just chose their flag.

It also overly uses javascript to show its sophistication, but it isn't too annoying.

It is worth a try.
