(I think I am in big trouble is Wer = Alexander...)

...if, too....

... and if so...

then you are Alexander, as well...see Alexander explains the Spring in screwed...

I am the ALMIGHTY PASQUINA... because I said so...

In that event, any realtionship between the three of us is narcissustic

not to mention incestuous and just plain fun, really...

Sounds good to me...

Oh, my!

Your....? (You said it sounded like fun to you!)

...and I am the Marcianess of Stonehenge-sans-Druids, because I said so...

(echo) BECAUSE SHE SAID SO!

Oh Mighty Pasquina, Tell me - what insights did Miss Vura have once upon a time concerning your humble miscreants William E. Roland and Alexander Schuth?

Since she is out of town on a business trip and Alexander does not address me when more fetching ladies are about, I shall just mention that the weather in Hawaii is warm and pleasant and humid enough to keep your skin from needing moisturizers. The flowers are plentiful, the fruit is coming into season (including the Best fruit in the Universe, the Mango), and it is altogether too pleasant to do anything but lie in a hammock between two palm trees and let the trade winds cool you. Any Takers?

hmmm...it is just hot and dry here...

It is cool and moist here and fragrant and very green...

************ Oh Mighty Pasquina, Tell me - what insights did Miss Vura have once upon a time concerning your humble miscreants William E. Roland and Alexander Schuth? ************ Hey Alexander... you may wanna address the Almightly in her own realm... better vibes that way!

My life today is incredible because I have a real live Hilo person posting at the Spring and he is very real and tangible. Welcome to the Virtual world, John!

But not as special as Spring has made it....this is the Real World in here. Hilo is a state of mind.... Spring is where my heart and love is.

Overcast and cloudy.

...as is mine.

Shall we found a club?

Just hit me with it!

*laugh* that was pretty funny! c'mon... LAUGH everyone... SMILE at least it's not snowing on ya!

Guess your life is pretty cool today then. Mine too. Having a real creative high at the moment - whoooopeee!!

thinking up kinky sex positions are ya now??

I was all set to post a comment more positive and humorous than the one "just hit me with it" but Spring crashed, and it was never seen. My priorities are sorting out with a very coarse sifter to get rid of the really big roadblocks. And, the day is looking much better.

Actually., I like thinking up kinky sex positions, but I don't have anyone worthy to practice them on at the moment...*sigh* That, however, will not keep me from thinking of them...*grin*

I must say - at the risk of being branded 'geek' by people other than 4 year-olds - I don't really think of kinky sex positions; don't have the patience. I don't like doing it on tables or on the floor for instance, because it HURTS! The couch is the best place. The creative period is more arty farty than reciprocal. My fat lady on the crocodile chose to have an unusual skin colour - green! She is looking fabulous, and the crocodiles and piranhas too! It's just so GREAT to paint after the year's studies, and the exams of the past 2 weeks. Last night I could just not stop - worked until 3; so now I'm totally hyper! �shriek�

Time travelling today, are we?

Aren't they expecting a big one in San Francisco as well?

I hope the Big One never comes there especially not in the next three weeks... but B's brother and sister in law live there...

...and my son lives close enough to have problems - and works even closer. How about waiting until humans manage to become extinct?! (Yes, they are expecting "The Big One" in SF - in fact, they are overdue - and so are we in Hawaii!)

This seems as good a place as any to put this note: If you value Spring and the discussions herein (not to mention the venting going on), do you realize this is Terry's web site for which he pays all the bills? Please, it is time to help with any donation you can afford. He has some pretty big bills to pay and he needs your (and my) help to sustain all of the stuff we are posting. Think if he had to cut back and eliminate some of - or all of - the conferences?! Please! Send contributions to: Paul Terry Walhus The Spring 9011 Quail Creek Dr Austin, TX 78758

Was at the dentists today! I never really know if I will get out alive....:-(

Who's null? Somebody new or a system defect?

OOOps! It's gone! There was a post and the name said "null"...Do we have ghosts at the Spring? Oh, I forgot, it's Halloween!!!

What was the date - year 2036?

Mhm, donnow, I didn't notice it...

I copied some to file just to see how different they were. The email to Null also is bogus. Curious.

Mmh....

A YAPP bug...

Here is an example I managed to save from a null posting. Note the date on this Response 138 of 138: (null) ((null)) * Wed, Dec 31, 1969 (18:00) * 0 lines Riiiiiiiight! A Yapp bugg, it iss.

Pretty miserable, actually. And to keep it from becoming mayhem, please remove the quick fix on http://www.spring.net/today/index.html to restricted status. I am under heavy fire here at home and that has not yet been discovered, I think, or I would have heard of it. PLEASE remove it!!!

Never mind, as I said elsewhere. Sorry to have bothered you...

*HUGS*

*HUGS* back... I really appreciate them...*smile*

OK it's still there but it's all new stuff from today.

Thanks for putting Geo in the Conference list on www.spring.net, but when I try to access the quick fix, I get a blank page. Is there something I am doing wrong? (It was SO good to hear from you!!!)

I'll check it out, maybe I messed up the link.

Well, Terry, I just went in to see the quick fix and got three copies of it. But NO GEO....is there something you are trying to tell me? SpringArk, Collecting and stuff are there, but not GEO. What's it gonna take for me to get you to add it to your telnet list? You'd be surprised at the conversations in there! It is Definitely NOT all boring pasted stuff. Please....?!

Still waiting for the littlest one to make an entrance... Isn't today Paul's 1st wedding anniversary??? And Autumn, I think that means I missed your bday (last week??)... happy belated wishes!

November 18th. Whew, scared me for a second there! Next Monday.

Did the little one enter?

I stopped by http://komputerpeople.com in Bastrop, Texas last night and met Keevan. He's been doing this for three years. He's right in the middle of the block on Main Street in historic downtown, across from Baxters. He has a Seattle's Best or something outlet with a row of buffed out computers. The price of admission to wi fi is a drink. When I flipped on my notebook, I noticed that Baxters across the street also had wi fi. Man, is Bastrop getting sophisticated! Keevan, it turns out, is a saavy, hip web designer who builds networks and computer systems. When I asked him about a particular website, he had already been there and seemed to be a step ahead of the game in most areas. What has your experience been with wi fi cafes and hot spots?

Negotiated a deal for jezebel.com today with Heather Champ. It took a few emails back and forth and a little bit of bargaining. Heather started the http://mirrorproject.com and jezebel was, I believe, the first incarnation of this site. Some more about how I first hooked up with Heather and Derek Powazek at http://spring.net/sxsw

My kid has his house and back yard wifi and is it ever lovely. I can IM from anywhere and post too.

I read this on the "Aiste Blog" just now. We had great time. We stayed in Grace Bay Club (http://www.gracebayclub.com/) which is quite old fashioned for the price . ( But when you have such beautiful sea it doesn't matter!)Photo_174_1 On the other hand , if you look for really exotic time, the Carribean islands will never be as exotic and beautiful as Lombok in Indonesia or Bora Bora which are real paradises on Earth. Few days in Turks�Caicos is enough as there is nothing to do. There is nothing to see apart from the sea! (Luckily we had wifi :) )Photo_019 The other problem , like most of the islands have, is that the food is really low quality and really expensive. As most of the food was inedible, we heavily contributed to the extinction of the lobsters as we ate them for every lunch and dinner. :) http://www.aistesite.com/ Today, it's early. I'm working on some websites, doing some system admin work, and getting my schedule set up for today on my various web calendars like http://spongecell.com and http://30boxes.com. I have a podcast interview today with the 30boxes folks. Working out issues with the new subdivision today. Yesterday I had half the Bastrop county officials here perusing the place, along with an engineer who I'll be contracting to do the soils study, etc.
