It's taking me way too long to get going on this again...???

i had a very bad experience with LINUX the past few days...!!!
Linux is supposed to be the hot new Operating System that is going to replace The Wintel and Macintosh Operating Systems... But i now have severe doubts about this... It is; i now suspect, just as Evil as the other two...!!!
---
The problem arose when i tried to download and install an HP48 emulator/simulator on my new MacBook, and there were some immediate difficulties... One being that i had to find and download a copy of an HP48's internal memory... These are somewhat proprietary and so you have to do that on your own... Which includes swearing to the website where i downloaded it from, that i own an HP48gx already...
---
So i think i managed to do that; But then amoung all the files that were allegedly the emulator, i couldn't find anything that looked like the application...???
---
So i went and asked the experts on the HP48 newsgroup, and then the real craziness started.
---
To cut right to the chase scene, i would need to know how to operate the Unix command structure underneath the Mac OSX, and execute a variety of commands to 'build' the simulator.
None of this was explained with the documentation that came with the simulator, and the experts on the HP48 newgroup thought that these 'steps' were so obvious that they repeated neglected to mention them to me, although my level and expression of frustration were steadily mounting over the course of about 3 days...!!!
---
i have officially given up trying to install this simulator.
It would appear that i would have to learn the entire Linux/Unix Operating System, just to have enough foundational knowledge before someone could explain to me, in any kind of reasonable way, how to get this simulator to work.
---
So that now:
The expression: "Gawd! i hate computers!" extends not only to the Wintel and Mac Operating Systems, But the Unix Operating Systems as well.
---
ugh.

Still Not Quite "In The Furrow"...

Happy BarfDay...!!!

i just had another birthday ( turned 12 ) and my mom got me a new computer; The MacBook; Black...
So hopefully; i'll start posting to this blog again...
The first project is to fully update Owie: BrokenHip
Which took a strange turn for the Wierd when i got to Spokane and i had to have all the lego blocks that they put in, in Hawai'i, taken out and replace with tinker toys.
What a nusance!
So it should have taken 8 weeks for me to get back on my feet, and it took closer to 18 months...!!!
oh well.

Search Engines are Sooooo Stupid...!!!

Gawd! i hate computers, and The Internet...!!!
i would really like to access a search engine that worked with me for a few moments and then went out and found what i was really looking for, rather than superficially return millions of 'hits' that have absolutely NOTHING to do with what i'm looking for...!!!
The ideal search engine would help me catorgerize what the subject of my search is, and then properly qualify that princple heading so that it would only be looking for the ONE thing that i'm actually looking for...
This may take a few minutes, but after awhile, the user would learn how to frame the question, so that the search engine would be happy with it immediately...!
---
When i was in the Eighth Grade, we spent hours and hours each day diagraming sentences...!
i find it hugely annoying that no one has been able to apply that tedium towards something usefull, like understanding simply requests in typewritten form...???!!!
---
The thing i was just today looking for; is the name of that tv show that featured in it's opening sequence, the scary sheriff that busts open the door, where the light is leaking in through the cracks...???
???

New Formats...!!! ( ??? )

So anyways...
Blogger has recently changed their formats, or something something to a New & Improved Version...!!! and i've been having a Horrible time trying to figure it all out...!!! Especially; simply logging in...!!!
It's at times like this that i seriously worry about the damp masses, seeing as i have an extra fat iq, and i'm having all this trouble, how do ordinary hamsters manage through life...
( more irrefutable evidence for angels maybe...??? )

ugh.

Sorry i've been so thoroughly neglecting this blog, but i just don't seem to have any enthusiasm for my existence anymore...

Forwarding through most of my recent selections!!!

Best Recent Film [a

i've been watching a bunch of films from Netflix and many of them have been horrible - most notably 'five easy pieces' & 'easy rider' -- i can not imagine how either of these films became cinematographic icons ????

the best film i've seen recently is a fun 'romantic comedy' : my super ex girlfriend : it is very silly, clever & enjoyable - i watched it twice - which is high praise since ive been fast forwarding through most of the films i've been getting lately.

Slight Update... # 2

i have been gone from this blog for a few months because i recently had a partial hip replacement ( the top of my right femur is now predominantly plastic and cobalt ) So i've been in the Hospital, then a care facility, then home, sleeping mostly... and i still don't have a computer of my own.
i only have an hour on the library computer and i want to do some other things right now...!!!

Extremely Bad Craziness...!!!

Someone has hacked into my other blog account...!!!
The Riders of The Golden Hamster and is filling it with evil nonsensical advertisements...!!!
The curious thing though, is that they are not hacking into this account...???
Evil Knows No Logic...!!!

A Tiny Update

If you're curious about my recent thoughts and such, i am most active on the internet ( hardly at all really ) on The HP48 Newsgroup:
HP48 Newsgroup
The HP48, if you're wondering, is a programable calculator, that has been superceeded in recent years by a number of 'newer' calculators, but the site is still called the HP48 Newsgroup, because all the newer ones suck donkey bile.

i finally got around to seeing Disney's 'The Black Hole'!
i was expecting it to be awful and it was pretty awful, but not as bad as my worst case senarios. The ending was awful though. It could have been worse in that they might have escaped the black hole, but thankfully, they were all sucked into it; except for Ernst Borgnine, who was blown up by the evil robots, and Anthony Perkins who was sliced and diced by the evilt robots ( this was one of the most annoying aspects of this movie... An evil robot with a cusinart attached to its manicals. )
The awful part was that it was unresolved, to my satisfaction, as to what was on the other side.
The good thing ( one of the good things ) about NetFlix is that it allows you to watch really bad movies, because it's so convenient to do so...!
---
i have an appointment on the 25th to see a doctor about getting my leg finally fixed, or perhaps he'll tell me that it can't be fixed within the parameters of my health insurance...???
---
Out of time again...

The Continuum of Craziness Persists...

So i switched over to Tracfone from Cingular to get away from the extremely evil company cingular, and then i discovered that Tracfone is actually Cingular with a different halloween mask on...!!!
---
On Sept. 20th, i went over to see Dr. Mark Olson and he told me that my leg is not getting worse, but it's not getting better either, and the angle of the brace is about 20 degrees off true...???!!! and that unless this huge gap of missing bone fills in, essentially immediately, he want to arrange for another doctor to pull out all the old crap in my leg and put in new crap...
---
Getting back to Tracfone, i just TODAY noticed that the address that Waldomart had written down for my address is WRONG, and that this is probably why i have not recieved the new SIM card that i need to pull my old phone number to my new phone...!!! Plus-- i have tried three times to contact their techical support service over the internet and once by phone and been turned away by either technical difficulties or lack of appropriate automated choices...!!!
i hate cingular.
---
summer is over in spokane.
---
spokane doesn't seem to have a red light district.
my sister was telling me where to go to find the choicest whores, but i haven't seen any yet.
there are however, lots of pale, ugly caucasians. ( very few filipinoes and asians... ) ???
---
i'm still looking for a year or three or four ( obsolete ) ibook or such...
---

More Extreme Craziness...

More things have been happening that are too crazy for you to believe, and so crazy that i think that i'm just making them up...!!! Wheneven i try to tell someone around here what is happening to me, i feel compelled to provide them with some kind of documentation or the testimony of another person before i can expect them to buy into any of this...!!!
---
As you may already know, all the physical therapy that i've been doing to make my leg stronger, has probably been hurting it more, since it turns out that i have osteoperoses ??? and it's not healing properly, at all...!!! And so now, i'm supposed to be keeping ALL weight off it for gawd only knows how long...???
---
Then my Cell phone company decided ( Cingular ) to terminate my Billing Plan, and so, not only would i have to find a new billing plan, i would have to BUY A WHOLE NEW PHONE too...!!!
So i switched to a Tracfone, and i tried to get Cingular to switch my old phone number to the new phone, as they are required to; by LAW...!!! But they insist that it will take at least 2 weeks to switch...!!!
My phone number for the Tracfone is 1-509-842-8199, but i might switch back to my old number at any moment... ( 1-509-990-2750 )
---
Then; since i had to buy a new phone and i made a bunch of other crazy purchases the last few days, i ran over my checking account, for 2 days, and my Bank ( Washington Mutual ) charged me nearly 100$ in Overdrawn charges...!!! 27$ x 3
And two of those were on one day- The 7th...??? !!!
i'll have to look into that...!!!
---
Then i promised to get my Aunt, who i still owe 600$ for plane fare, a subscription to Netflix, but i'm so frazzled that i don't know if i will do that this month...!!!
---
Speaking of Netflix, the mail boxes in my new apartment building are so small that they won't accept the DVD's...!!!
---
Things are Very Wiggily...!!!
---
Also; i've been having the films sent to my sister's house, but she is being very tardy about bringing them over, and it appears that she may have lost one...???!!!
---
My leg doesn't hurt very much during the day, but it is very hard to find a comfortable position when i'm trying to sleep...!!!
---
i am still looking for a computer.
It might even be a Intel, NonMac, which i would like to install with Linux...???
Any help with that would be appreciated too...
---
Something kooky happened the other day while i was trying to access my blog via my cell phone and a weird message came up that seemed to relate to the Anomalous Genitalia Posting ( moved to Picoans ) But now, i can't seem to find that message...??? On the cell phone, it was a big Warning ( from Blogspot ??? ) with a note saying: What is this?, ( or - What does this mean? )
But now, it's disappeared...???
---
Sproogles...

The Usual Craziness...

So i found out about 2 weeks ago...
That all the Physical Therapy that i'd been doing for the past 6 weeks was, in all probability, actually hurting my leg, since it wasn't healing properly to begin with...!!!
i'd asked my doctor here in Spokane to take an X-Ray when i first contacted him, and he assured me that the Physical Therapist would decide if i was healing 'on course' or not...
Well; after several weeks of unnecessary, and unaccounted for pain, i finally got the X-Ray that i'd been begging for, and it showed that the stem leading to the ball was 'Bent' and that i had Low Mineral Bones...???
And now; i'm supposed to be OFF the leg for at least a month, and then they're going to retest it, and see if i can get back into physical therapy or stay off it for another few months...!!!
ugh.
---
Since i'm still using the computers at the library, and i can only use them for an hour at a time, it may take awhile to type in all the data for my latest, extremely evil, cabbage code.
---
i have a new theory on art as well...
It is The Theory of Opposites.
What kinds of pictures should i be drawing...
i've been playing around with an old favorite; Anomalous Genitals...
But this seems as Old Hat as Bowls of Fruit, or Ocean Beaches....
So i'm thinking that the Next Big Thing in Art will be--
Opposites.
The trick here is finding some 'x' and then determining what it's Opposite is...
That's the trick.
What is The Opposite of a Cat.
A Dog?
No.
A Dog is just about the same thing as a Cat...
What is really The Opposite of a Cat...???
How can you even begin to analyze this...???
So-- for now; This is a very raw idea...???
---

Looking for an Old Computer...???

i'm looking for an older computer, a Mac maybe,
something that predates OSX, which i HATE...!!!
OSX is a total sell-out to the appearances of MS...!!!
You see this same trend with HP Calculators, they are looking more and more like TI Calculators...!!!
But anyways...
i would also like it to be a portable; laptop, or such, and have a CD burner built in...???
Also; since i'm so poor, i would like it to be around $200...!
This doesn't strike me as completely unreasonable, as the resale value of computers is amazingly low...
Perhaps this is why you never see old computers in Hock Shops...???
So if you've upgraded in the last few years, and have the old one still sitting in a closet, or a box in the basement, and would like to support the Consortium--
Then Thanx for considering us...!!!

Next...

Well; i don't want to jinx it by saying too much, but it looks like i'll soon be moving out of my sister's house & into my own apartment--
It'll be the best place that i've ever lived in on my own...??? ( !!! )
more later...

Anomalous Oddity of This Blog...

One of the Oddest things about this Blog, is that, from time to time, i will have an absolutely & unconditional certitude that i have entered onto this Blog a Page containing various items...
And then; At some later time-- i absolutely can not find it...!!!
Or-- i'll do an Internal Search of The Blog, for a particular term that i feel must exist on numerous pages, and it insists that there are "No References" for that term...???
Blogger has; i believe, from time to time, lost or forgotten pages, that later turn up again, or occasionally, i will be unable to find a page when looking for it, from one direction, only to have it turn up, when examining a set of pages that were retrieved in a slightly different manner...!!!

How very annoying.

Forced to Use MicroS-

So i finally got around to working on my Owie Series: Broken Hip today,
Adding a new picture, and reorganizing all the other ones,
and intending to add some more text biddles,
Updating this crazy nonsense and so on...
and i get about half done with the tedious job of moving the pictures around in html code...!
Because this stupid Blog format won't let me just lift pictures up and move them around...
Noooo...
That would be too easy wouldn't it...
And This Stupid MS Internet Explorer decides, for no reason at all, to just; Up and quit...!!!
FAWK...!!!
---
Maybe i'll get up the energy to try to work on it again tomorrow...???
Ugh.

My Latest Project...

Can You Win @ Roulette...???
Can you...???
After extensive simulations with a new scheme,
that turned out to be a perversion of several older, well digested schemes,
i'm not sure if this new approach really works or not...???
It seems to,
but there is just a crack of doubt leaking at the edges...???
