Storm Heading This Way

I been sleeping a good part of today.
Ken just got home from school and said that everyone was talking about the storm that is heading this way. It seems there is a great deal of worry.
I just wish that we had emergency supplies. We have nothing. No water.
I also wish I had a ham radio that would be of use should the storm head this way and hit.
I will have to try and get ready for the next storm.. Don't think I can do much this time.

I will keep you posted on the effects of the storm if it comes this way..
I need to think of a way to post something.. should we lose power. I may pick someone and set them up to post here..so if we lose power for an extended time.. that I could call them and they could post some information here for me.

Russell Likes Tennis!

Russell likes tennis. I did not know that he liked any sports. He has been watching the US Open all day.

I have to work tonight from midnight until 8 am. In fact from now on my hours will be midnight to 8 am.

Melting Pot..no Stew

I went into work last night at 1 am. I got off at 8 am but then we had a two hour meeting. One of those things..about people being different and American not being a melting pot any more but more like a stew. I think all work places have that sort of training now.
I am not sure it does any good. I suspect that when something bad happens..they can say however.. well we had given training on the how to get along and treat people.
What was interesting was that.. I think there were 17 of us at the meeting... Out of that 17 only three of said they were from a US state. The others were from Central America or South America. One guy was from Africa. One guy, he just transfered from a local mall, was from Pakistan. That is some group... I said at the meeting "at least we don't have someone from France." Smile
At that sort of meeting that does not go over well well.. I think they wrote my name down and put a red check mark next to it. Smile

They have training each month. I think the problem, that I have seen, is that they are following an outline from the main HQ on the training. This months training, I think, was a waste of two hours of time. Last month was a big waste of time.

GMail

I can invite one person to use Google's new GMail. If anyone is interested contact me. I suspect more than one of you will be interested. I am not sure how I will decide.. but if interested contact me.

UPDATE: 08/28/2004: I gave that one away. But I now have a notice from GMail that I can invite five more people to use the new Google EMail service. If interested contact me.

Thanks we are at 6.7

Thanks for voting for our video, when you watch ShowMeCAM, we are 6.7 out of 10 now. We are in about the middle of the top one hundred list. When we get it a bit higher I will just turn off the voting.
I think you can vote one time per day. Please give us a vote of 10.
I know we are not that good..I just want to get up well on the list.

How is the current video working for you? I can always go back to CameraWare or I can try WebCamXP again or one of the others that I have paid for and try from time to time. Let me know.
Sometimes someone can not see a video because ...well for many reasons. So I hope you all can see the video OK.

Also there is a chat room with the ShowMeCAM. Give that a try and get in there and chat with the others.

Our Internet access when out about 5 pm on Wed and did not come back until after midnight. I woke up at 4 am and it was working.
I got online right away and made sure to pay the cable bill. That was not the reason it went off.. they had some problems. But the cable bill was past due. I got it paid.

WEBCAMs and more WebCams

I have been searching the Internet. I have been updating and making additions to my web pages.
I have found a lot of webcams. I remember when we were about the only real live webcam. People would find our webcam and not believe that it was real. They would ask me to hold up x number of fingers or wave to them or something to prove that it was real.
We must have been the very first nude webcam. Maybe there were others.. but all the people that found us had never seen anything like that on the Internet. (Maybe they ment that they had never seen a fat, bald, old man nude on a webcam.)

Today...wow ..there are so many great webcam sites. Some of them are so good.

I can not mention them all or even mention the best ones...

But let me point out a few of them...

WebCamTV - they have a camera and as they drive around Flordia you see live video from the car. I wanted to do that a long time ago. But I did not have the hardware or software. Hell now I do not even have a car.
Even if I had the hardware, software, car and money they have... I could not do the great job they are doing. Excellent site.

Now not real exciting but there is the Turin Catherdal. Yes the chuch that holds the shroud. I think the video only updates each 5 minutes but you can see a lot of places like that.

A lot of great webcams and webcam sites.
We hope you think that our webcam is one of the good webcams.

Off Line for a Few Hours

About 5 pm we lost cable service. So we had no television and no Internet access. About 8 pm the TV service came back but no Internet access. I went to bed about midnight and to Internet access. I just woke up and the Internet service is back in operation.

I got a phone call from Darlene. See my private diary for details.

Before the Internet service went off line.. I lost $50.00, very fast, playing video poker. The online casino has always been fun and my money seems to last a while... Not this time....
I paid for ImageEvent. I will work on adding photo to the albums today. There is, so far, one album that is for HNB After HOurs members only. You will need the password to get access.

It is 4:30 am and I am going to surf the Internet and read my eMail. Take care of yourself.

Photo Albums

I just paid to upgrade the photo album service. I can now have up to 1500 photos. The link in the Main Menu will take you to the photo albums. I have three setup at this time. I will add more photos later.

Worf and the Storm

I got a phone call from Worf. He is in Orlando. He made it thru the recent storm OK. He was without power for 8 days. No major damage. He stayed in the trailer park. You know him. He watched the storm from the door way of the laundry room.

I want to thank all of you that voted for our streaming video ShowMeCAM. We are at 5.7 points out of 10. That puts back on the list of top 100 sites. We are moving up. I think you can vote one time a day. Please keep voting. Please keep giving us 10 points. When I get up near the top of the list I will turn off the voting and that, I hope, will keep someone from hacking us to the bottom of the list again.

I work tonight from 11 pm until 7 am. Then I am off until Friday night at midnight.

I need to get a cell phone for Russell. I was thinking of getting a pre-paid one for him. That would be about $100.00 to start. He would only need for emergency and for short communications from time to time. But now I am thinking about seeing if I can get the offer from SprintPCS. I have a SprintPCS phone and service now and I can add a second line. I want to see if I can get the new phone that has a 1 meg camera built into it. The cost is $300.00 but is $150.00 for a new user. I am not sure if me adding a second line will let me count as a new user or not.
I do not have a digital camera. I want to have a digital camera to take some photos and post on web site.
I have a SprintPCS phone now that has a built in camera...but the camera takes very poor photos.
