>>BONG!BONG!BONG!<<
That’s a gong a bonging for those who helped push my pg vw count up and over the 5000 mark!
I logged in on 4/9 at 11:04p and the count was standing at 5016 with 320 showing for yesterday.
When I logged back in to edit and post this at 3:54a on 4/10,,the vw counter said,,,363 for yesterday and 5030 sofar.
Thank you all very,very much!
(And a special welcome to the new ones I know have surfed in recently.I hear you folks have been enjoying Wee!Gee!)
I would say ‘a round for everyone’,,, and pass out a few Harbin beers (even if I had to use these bottles ) but I can’t,,so,,here’s a small attempt to show a little appreciation to you folks.Click here.
If you don’t see something that suits you for those prices,,let me know and maybe I will work something up for you.
Yeah,,that would mean you have to contact me.You can do that using the methods here at this site,,,or surf thru the ‘click here’ link on that page or the link under the logo icon on the left nav bar.
Again,,thank you, thank you,thank you,thank you!!!!!!
Now for,,
That pc I said came back to life ‘thankfully’ lasted long enuff for me to get a bunch of images out and up online so I can get them back via dial-up so I can use that other old pc to continue using them to make graphics for this project and others.
I wound up dealing with the transfer over that weekend I said I intended to write more Wee!Gee! during.
That means there isn’t any new Wee!Gee! parts for you folks.
I apologise.
Yet,,the laptop I mentioned,a Compaq Presario,(and the other pc an old Gateway2000) can go online,,,with dial up ~wince~ so I can still do some stuff besides surf.It’s got a few decent progs in it and I am typing this on it.I can get online and ccp text to make blog entries with no problem.It’s disc drive is dissed and it’s floppy is a flop but it can upload & download.
The one I’m going to try to use for working images in is also old and it doesn’t have a USB port so it’s limited to dial up.But,,I dug out another modem,,ordered a cable (I got it already) and will try getting that one ‘off the e-dirt road’ later after I post this.
It has more than it’s ‘fair share’ of problems,,but it’s got two drives, plenty of mem and reasonably fast enuff processors so I can make it do if I can get it to go with that workaround.
Of course,,if it works on that one,,it’ll work for the lap to.
The first one,,the HPPavillion worked fine then blanked out and wouldn’t power up just like it did before.Maybe it will come back up later.I will,,at the least,,try a new battery before I officially play taps for it and put it in the ‘resurrect later’ stack.
The one I can go online with,,an E-Machine(!),,is essentially no more than a web browser now.It seems like IE replaced the OS.
Can IE take over OS’s?
Did it? How did it do that? What’s the best way to fix the problem?
I do not know,,yet.But,,I’m still working on it.And won’t quit till they all crap out,get fixed or I get a new one.
Which wouldn’t stop me from continuing to try to fix them,of course.
If I can get the GW and/or CP usable at speed then I might try installing WinME over it’s 98.Allthough if the missing file isn’t included,and there isn’t a newer or different version in ME then I will be back to where I was with that pc.
Okay,,enuff tech talk,,as it were,,and on to Suki,,my youngest pineapple plant.
Even though I have been lax about swapping her to a bigger pot,,she has developed a nice little apple and has been kicking out those pretty purple flowers for about a week now.
It seems like the flowers pop out in waves and cycle until all have bloomed in an every other one kind of fashion,all over from top to bottom.
Her mother,Arnie is doing okay,,but no new pineapple yet.I get the impression that she may skip this season.Her pot has lost enuff soil to have exposed the roots a bit.Maybe doing what I did with her mama last year may help her a bit.
Granny Frances-Jeanne is alive and well,,but getting old looking,AGAIN. I think since her pot has lost some soil again that I will try adding dirt ,, again.
After that,,and a period of waiting to see,I may take her out in the field and bury her up to her neck next to the flow well.
What better way to retire a good pineapple plant could one come up with?(if I owned that piece of property I believe I would have a slew of pineapples going)
When I figure out a way to deal with converting files I have now to pdf’s or retype what I have into a pdf prog,I am going to be offering how ever much of Wee!Gee! I have written by then in bookform.Available online.
I don’t know yet if they will be ‘adequately edited’ for spelling and punctuation but I will be offering them for ‘as cheap as possible’.I hope a few of those sets of eyes coming through here will be willing to ‘hep a feller out durin’ a recession’ and perhaps purchase a copy for yourself and maybe one for a friend or enemy.You could read yours and throw it at someone,too.If they ask why ya did that,,you can show them the new shirt ya got from the author to go with the book.~wink~wink~
That’s it for now,,I have to ‘dial-up’ my blog and post this and then see about getting up to speed with what I pay good money to ATT to use.
THANX AGAIN for pushing my pg vw count over 5000.I feel honored,flattered and humbled all at once.
(IOW,,I’m tickled plum purply pink over it~smile~)
Thanx for stopping in this time and,,,
Ya’ll come back now,y’hear?!?
