January 13th,12. Monday If that matters to ya

Well, I did it again!! Paid a geek to come get my cameras running so's I could put them up viewable on the internet last week. 
Some how, in going through the settings on the system ( trying to change the contrast)  I clicked some setting or button I shouldn't have! Now they are not viewable on line any more.  SO,, got to call the Geek Squad guy to come reset set what ever it was I fouled up. and make me a big note to NOT change that setting again!!!  Grrrr...
( no, it doesn't do a back up of the settings)

How many phone books you got laying around at your house?   I got about 30# of them I bet. They were all stuffed in one of the small cabinets where I mounted the security camera system. So, I  looked at them and decided I don't need a dammed one of them!! I can google and find any phone number or address I need.  They're going out in the trash pick up this week!! And if another one shows up at my PO or tossed in the driveway. IT ain't coming in my house!!!!!
With the internet now , I can find  anyone or anything I need to get a phone number for. 

Speaking of finding stuff, I got a usb powered storage device (1TB of storage Terabyte: A Terabyte is approximately one trillion bytes, or 1,000 Gigabytes. )  here that I got a couple years ago ( or longer) and have copied stuff to it off and on going all the way back to when I had desktop computers  all over.   So I started looking at the files on it and seriously I  found copies of files going all the way back that pre-date DOS!!  Stuff I had saved off from my First Xerox 8080 processor. 
Some of the stuff I want to save of course, but the rest can be dumped and that device taken out of service and off the table.  BUT what to save it onto?  CD's I don't trust for long term storage, Don't have a USB big enough, ummm. I'll have to think on this later. But I did leave it sitting here in my view so I won't forget to work on that.

What's up otherwise for today?  Don't know yet. coffee hasn't really kicked in good yet.:-)

OK, all  y'all of a certain age remember the great comics of our youth, Bill Cosby , Justin Wilson, Moms Mabley, Fred Sanford, and in our college years. George Carlin.

Well , last evening I found on my Netflix player His first broadcast special..
On Location: George Carlin at USC is Irish-American comedian George Carlin's first ever HBO special, recorded during the Summer of 1977 at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

This unique taping lasted 85 minutes, and, at age 40, marked a new era in Carlin's career. He explained to the audience that before this special came about, that he never did a show for home consumption or reproduction

It is long, An hour and 25 minutes  recorded  1977 at USC. It was controversial at the time because he did the famous  Seven Dirty Words you can't say on TV ..  Well, guess what?  I found that entire bit on line, recorded from the original  Home Box Office ( now just HBO)   So, here it is if you got  and hour to watch .  I guess I should warn you about the language but if you hadn't figered that part out yet. Don't bother watching.


 
You can watch , I'm off for more Coffee  BBL.
