HesMyAll's Fifties Fellowship (4)

[RestoreTheRiver]

I love to read! But I don't like to write! Written words can mean something entirely different depending on who is doing the reading...ten people can read something and each of them can come away with a different idea of what the author was trying to communicte. Numbers of course are not subject to individual interpretation. There is only one way to interpret 5 -2=3. So needless to say I am feeling quite a bit or trepidation about the writing.
Prayers are appreciated![/quote]


Think about what you love to read, and why. How do those authors connect with you as a reader? Good reading is an effective means of learning good writing.

Starting out......
numerology wasnt my favourite undertaking
and years passed getting to grips with them
but then High School, began to show me the relationship
between numbers, quantities, dimensions and hypotheses

and BINGO 'the lights came on'

Algebra ? became 'a doddle'

and my mind, it went '3D capable' dave

This then is the difference between what we call Arithmetic which is very concrete and Mathmatics which is theoretical. We only scratch the surface in high school learning rudimentary tools and formulas to manipulate ideas about space and time and all that cosmic stuff. I was poor at Arithmetic and I must say my lack in that regard hampered my abilitly to work successfully in the latter category. jan

It seems, to me
that 'incentive' [aka: NEED] to know
Is the driving force to-learning / absorbing knowledge ???

example:
If, you are happy to eat, mass produced bread
YOU WON'T learn-how to make and bake your-own
likewise:
Until your car breaks down... Miles from anywhere
you don't NEED to know
all of, the parts of, your engine, transmission and exhaust system
also:
Until you are disconnected from your favourite website
and MISS, being able to chat with distant friends
and your PC is dysfunctional
There is no need, to understand that 12V + 5V dc supplies
are, all the power that your pc needs
and, that it needs to route this power, to the various components
that, all peripheral components need, reliable connections
that, startup-programs, have to be in the 'right-place'
and able to 'function' as required, and 'when-required'
that 'software' is accessibly archived and updated
relevantly/ according-to your use of, it

BUT..... when the monitor
has a screen 'frozen' to it's surface and input from the keyboard
simply, makes a 'system beep'
that your mouse, has no onscreen cursor
and your only recourse is to switch off at the BIG button

This! is the moment, when,
you need to know MORE than > how to drive it around <
because.......now! you need 'HELP'
and [auk] as you know, that, can, get very costly indeed ?

When, I got myself barred from a past forums
[for, being an outspoken 'good-guy']
I found myself spammed-exceedingly in my email inbox
I found repeated Denial Of Service attacks would 'shut-down' my PC
I had to throw away, a couple of harddrives
that had lost their zero-sectors

It was time for me to learn HOW 'stuff' worked
and HOW 'others' could 'plant stuff'
and WHICH 'settings' could make repeats LESS LIKELY

One of the things I learned, was......to make myself
into a limited-permissions user, with NO ADMIN RIGHTS

This way, when my identity was spoofed
and, because, I couldn't
alter the administrative settings, then neither could anyone else [?]

This would suit, when you are not the only user of your PC

By creating limited-rights users on your PC
THEY... cannot change the settings that can make your PC vulnerable
as none of them will have ADMIN RIGHTS

So, what ? has this to do with mathematics LOL


So, getting back into that History [above]
It took me three months of reading Windows help files
and experimentation
before I could KEEP my machine online [reliably]

Now, my C: Drive is an empty folder
I have given it [the harddrive I have my OS inside?]
another 'identity' altogether


I now have an external harddrive connected to my PC
upon which, I have an IMAGE, of, my PC's RAIDED harddrives
and I CHOOSE....
with what.... I will update it

Thus, when and if-ever [for whatever reason] I should lose
my PC [as is]
I can reboot again [within 2-3 hours] from the maintained external 'IMAGE'
with a COPY that is 'fairly recent' in terms of, file history


ODDS are.... that the CHANCES of, programming failure
are now, much reduced
BECAUSE of, my learning; HOW not-to [also]

Notwithstanding any of the above.....
a power cut /loss of internet-connection / phone-line
would:
PUT THE KIBOSH on everything [anyway]

WOW!!! I'm dizzy now!

 

[davedajobauk]

WOW!!! I'm dizzy now!

Hiyah Mary

"Dizzy" ? yep me too! back 'then'

I was well-used, to spending 18 hours a day
both IN my favourite forums and browsing for information for it

It seemed to me
that the guys who ran the site, used 'privileged information'
to avenge themselves upon my computers...[x2] 2004/05.
I still have them upstairs [useless]

The SPAM [inappropriate contentographic literature, penis enlargement offers and Viagra sales]
continues, [still] to rain down upon my Yahoo & Orange.com email boxes

So, I use them [now]
only to maintain old contacts [at arms length]
Whilst, now using, Hotmail LIVE MAIL
as my main email [CONTACTS ONLY]

Dizzy ?
oh yes.... it seemed like; I might never
climb on top of, the knowledge required
to create 'hidden folders' and 'password access'

My elder two sons, helped considerably, in my attempts
to 'map out' a secure-setup [on paper]
that I was then, able to debug after-installation
to provide me with an enduring system
that HASN'T failed me since I joined here

I have also, the belief,
that I had a great deal of help, from someone, very special to us all here
Someone, whom has, empowered me with so much patience
and confidence, that I can feel totally LAID-BACK about everything in my life
and, instead of resorting-to; DEAR DIARY...
I now say; Dear Jesus....I am so overwhelmed by your blessings....
that 'they' [these, blessings] are everywhere I look
and, in all aspects of my life and those whom share it with me

Dizzy, Mary ?
oh yes! ever since December 27th 2006
I have been so-upheld that, looking down, can make me giddy also

"Why me?" what makes me so-special that I should become so coddled,
protected, and, so-whole?

He, sees everything!
even, in someone's deepest darkness,
and they, need only, to look up to The Light
to learn the truth
and to learn, that without Him,
we are nothing and, are dead

May God bless you

Again...wonderful words of wisdom. When rewards are handed out, I just know that all the time you have taken to encourage and inspire others will result in a reward so great that you will indeed be dizzy! God bless you my brother!

 

[leytonstones]

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been missing in action but have been busy....buying my books for college. I start next week! This is not going to be easy...working all day and then going to class at night; not to mention squeezing in homework!
I'm also making preparations for a camping trip...a woman I work with and her sister and I are going...I haven't been away in YEARS...I'm really looking forward to it!

What a wonderful time for you. You must be so excited. Yes, there will be a lot of hard work but I am sure you will be very successful.

 

[gratefulgrace]

Hi Ley it is so good to see you here I hope things are moving along with Robs treatment. Jan

Hi gg. How are you ?

Rob will see another consultant on the 20th and we are hoping that is when he will get a date for his surgery. The surgery takes some planning as there has to be an intensive care bed available for him.

We are keeping busy. At the moment we are still trying to declutter. We took quite a lot of stuff to the charity shop this morning and are now getting another lot to go tomorrow. I may have another go at selling stuff on ebay.

Blessings

Ley

 

[buttercup2000]

Blessings to you and Rob, too, Ley. So good to see you posting. You, Rob and family are daily in my prayers.

Well I admire you for this it is something I need to do and I try bit by bit. Have two boxes of unused clothing and books etc for the Canadian Diabetic Association. I thought they were going to get it today so had it setting out on the porch. Hope they come tomorrow. We have soo..... much more to go though. I think we need a dump truck to hawl it away.
I wish you great success on EBAY. Jan

[gratefulgrace]

Hi Gazelle I don't know you yet but it is nice to meet you here in the 50's fellowship. I hope you are having a wonderful evening. I just got back from a coffee date with work friends and an ex coworker. It was lovely. Jan

 

[HesMyAll]

What a wonderful time for you. You must be so excited. Yes, there will be a lot of hard work but I am sure you will be very successful.

Yes! Very exciting but also very scary...I have an essay due on Tuesday. I finished writing it today but of course I'm still going over it with a fine toothed comb because on one of the statements I have a semi colon in it and don't know if it should be a colon instead.

So sorry to hear about Rob's (your husband?) surgery, will keep him in prayer.

Blessings to you and Rob, too, Ley. So good to see you posting. You, Rob and family are daily in my prayers.

Hi Buttercup! Good to see you here!

Hi Gazelle! What a lovely poem!

Hugs for everyone!
