Grandma's World

Wandering about my favorite spots and found Musings an expansion of the Baroness. Reminds me of my grandparents. Looking forward to hearing more.
Su says she has given up the chase because piggies are dirty. Well I hear the Hogmeister has been penned but not cleaned. We shall see

Not Ordered Yet

Due to Pluto being in retrograde computer did not get ordered. Have you seen the new 19" LCD flat panels? Shame on someone for tempting me to expand my wish list. Maybe I am just too cheap and trying to stretch out old machine until next month when I can order more goodies?
Sunny high 80s triple digits should return next week.
Who is Hogmeister? Pattern Piggies beware the evil Su will find you and Uncle Sam will slam you.

New Computer

Well the olde one is about to go into hyper drive. Seems everyday it develops some new problem. Yes it needs a reformat. Problem what if I goof up. My life on the internet would be damaged until arrival of new unit.
This is the big day. Must make final decision on what should be installed and place order. Thanks to Libby I at least have good information on what needs to be installed. Wish list exceeds budget so will go for best I can afford. Last time I was cheap and paying for now.
THANKS TO LIBBY FOR HER TIME AND TEACHING! LINN GETS CREDIT FOR PATIENCE.

MP3 Information

Fraunhofer
This is newest technology for MP3 and should be available this year. Gives true surround sound quality without adding large data to recordings.
Amazing what can be done. Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy is almost here.

Dragon is Back

Thanks to whoever restored that handsome dragon. He adds a bit of class to my otherwise dull Blog.
Linn was away so Libby was forced to rag me about new computer. Going to the big city on Thursday to fetch sister. Thus will either come home with a new machine or have one on order. Want a flat screen too but we shall see if the budget can handle my entire wish list. Thinking about wireless mouse and keyboard but not sure ecologically sound. Understand they eat batteries. Just saw specs on new Olympus C60 zoom more temptation for the weak of spirit.
Spring has arrived with triple digit temps. 107 yesterday in our little part of the universe. Who says there is no global warming?

Webcam

Camvista website Camvista

Has some really fun places to watch. Especially fond of the Scottish cities and countryside. Looking forward to the Haggis hunt.
Unable to see my black dragon. Saw him before but with adjustment to Java no longer visible to my computer. Drat. He was a handsome devil.

SystemWorks 2004

Arrived early yesterday afternoon. Manual is smaller but more pages. Need a magnifying glass for the small print. At least the computer is running this morning. Tossed out the new Java, sooo finally able to see European Webcams. Missed these sites. European Webcam for anyone interested.

Dragon from Su

Could not resist the dragon test. Fits me?

Cable Bust

Opted for high speed cable couple of weeks ago. So far not working as advertised. Another aggravation. Java will not run the speed check. First the page was down now it dumps me off.
Bright spot Linn, Libby and Su who have been helping keep me sane. Take a look at those beautiful flower pictures Libby has been posting.
Thank you again ladies for your support. Linn I know you will have a good time this weekend. You always rave about the fun and good company wherever you go.

Cyber Friends

Thanks to my new and old cyber friends the computer witch has been chased away. Libby sent me clear specific instructions so I will be able to keep the trolls from sending me into depression. Thank you.
Libby you know how to make these old clunkers act properly

Computer Blues

Well once again the stupid computer has taken more than 12 hours from my life. First it would not load at all then for some unknown reason decided to load with my external drive listed as my printers card slot. At least I am temporarily online which seems some accomplishment. Probably not last long so hasten to my favorite spots.
Cats enjoyed having a new companion to torture but are now stuck with my cursing for entertainment.
Does anyone know how to get drives reset to correct letter?

Rainy Day Friends

Old school chum is lots of fun. Just proves great artists do make superior friends. Not artistic myself but manage to surround myself with talented friends. Don't mind winding bobbins or holding paint for the creative.
Internet has only increased my wealth of artistic friends and I do enjoy art.
