Subj : Re: moving or not was: CFBBS To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Sat Sep 21 2019 15:46:20 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 12-Sep-2019 15:45 <=- BM>>> Yes, one of those old back-burner jobs of which I occasionally brush BM>>> the dust off and play with, don't get anywhere, and so put it back BM>>> until another consideration occurs. NB>>> One of these days it'll come clear... ;) And in the meantime... NB>>> This set starts afternoon of Sept 3rd... :) BM>> My yesterday, and answering your tomorrow. As for the problem BM>> with the timestamp, yes, just need to look at the various switches for BM>> PKZip and start playing. ...Actually looks like might be adding '-k' BM>> -- just have to find the batch file. NB>> Worth a try... :) BM> A few But Firsts first.... As always... ;) BM>> ...Had a But First yesterday morning. Received a phone call, BM>> connection line was scratchy/noisy. Some testing to figure out whose - BM>> ours. Call the telephone company as appears the problem is external to BM>> the house. Tech earned his pay! One failing connection in a connector BM>> box about a block away and then he found someplace else that was BM>> failing. So get that fixed. Never did have to come inside. NB>> Very nice... :) And especially nice that it really was outside... BM> Yes. Just checked, still at my "paying for" connection speed (vs. the BM> 1Kbps 'extra' I had). The other day noted my music (Pandora) had BM> stopped and the DSL light was flashing on the Gateway (Router/Modem -- BM> whichever name it goes by). Didn't notice anything before nor after. BM> Maybe someone else was having problems and they did a reboot. Sounds plausible... :) And a good thing it was essentially just a glitch for you.... BM>> Good news and bad: "bad" news is my DSL is back down to where I pay for BM>> -- had been getting a kilobit extra. Good news is the apparent download BM>> speed is surpassing what it had been, so what I'm requesting shows up on BM>> the screen significantly faster. NB>> Sounds like mostly a betterment.... ;) BM> Yes, slower one way, definitely faster another. And I like BM> the "other" better! More useful... :) BM>> Now will have to dig out the NCID project (for call-rejection of BM>> spam calls) and see if it works up here now. Probably still should BM>> move/have moved the electric line running next to the telephone, BM>> antenna coax, and network cable. NB>> And we are starting to get the sort of temps now that should make NB>> it a possible job... just have to get an electrician in now... ;) BM> Well, LIS in an earlier message, missed that window: currently 83ø out BM> and to get into the 90's. ...There's time. Yup, the cooler enough but not too cold yet will come back soon enough.... ;) NB>>> As long as the station of whatever brand is getting good quality gas, NB>>> there isn't that much difference between them other than cost... BM>> That's pretty much what I'm thinking. Hy-Vee is not going to risk BM>> their reputation selling bad gasoline. The gas may or may not have BM>> additives my car wants - - I didn't notice any difference in mileage BM>> nor reaction (peppiness, etc.). And yes, major flaw in the study with BM>> filling at half-tank but knew that. NB>> We've found that the gas that BJ's sells is at least as good as NB>> the major brands.... :) And is much less expensive... :) BM> Works for me! Yup.... BM>>> Land transfers can be part of family history. Son gets married, BM>>> parents 'break off' a piece of their farm for the newly-married couple. BM>>> ...Or a piece is transferred as payment for debt. NB>>> It also documents where a family is living, perhaps where they came NB>>> from or where they moved to, and often can list all the heirs (with NB>>> married names and spouses) when something was inherited by all, and NB>>> then sold or transferred either to one of them or to a new owner... BM>> That would be helpful in verifying genealogical records! Everyone BM>> present and accounted for? Someone not listed? Why? NB>> Yup, sometimes verifies, sometimes brings up questions to pursue, and NB>> sometimes gives information about spouses and/or married names that NB>> one hadn't yet known.... :) BM> Those little surprises can be interesting! And sometimes even give the little tidbit of information that breaks down a brick wall... :) ttyl neb ....
