Woah, network troubles everywhere. You'd think it was the millenium
|
|
change or something.
|
|
Three servers were down to me the past week or so, including one
|
|
with a shell so a goodly portion of my mail dumped. And it wasn't
|
|
bouncing so most people didn't know I was losing what they'd just sent,
|
|
yikes. That's a lot of downage. A record maybe.
|
|
Anyone else out there noticing as much trouble this past week? Maybe
|
|
the worst since right after Enron tanked, eh? Or the time when AOL
|
|
slash-n-burned...
|
|
Well, just as it was all going back up, my favorite, and most
|
|
robust and stable server took half a dive. http://www.etext.org was down
|
|
for a while... almost a full week. You could get to all the pages, but
|
|
you couldn't update or add to any. So the first point of receiving new
|
|
ATI's (and most notably the newest - 329) was absent from last Sundayish
|
|
'til just now, Saturdayish, Fridayish. Yuck. In 6 years I've seen it
|
|
down maybe 15 minutes at a time twice total or so. Oh well, that's
|
|
how it goes I guess.
|
|
We were down, but not out.
|
|
Well, as promised, here's two new sections. 1) Sitting In Front Of
|
|
Dahmer's Old House each week, and 2) MY LITTLE LAPTOP III in
|
|
3-D. That's right. I'm typing this moment on a brand-new-to-me, adopted
|
|
Extensa 510 laptop. It's got just under a gig in HD, 16 in RAM and
|
|
win95. I'll play around a while before putting in freeBSD or mandrake
|
|
or anything eh? Especially because it's ver 4 which I've never
|
|
worked with before. It seems a little better than ver. b or the
|
|
original which I've nursed along manytimes. And now that all the
|
|
servers and etc., are working fine, guess what happens right here???
|
|
I've got 7 dial-up adapters loaded into this thing and I still can't
|
|
get it online. Oh well, no hurry there. I'll use the desktop for that.
|
|
Maybe instead of a better modem, I'll save up for a network card, eh?
|
|
|
|
That's what I hate about Word (TM).
|
|
|
|
You know what I hate the most about Word (TM)? It makes no sense. 2.0
|
|
was o.k. I can't speak for 3-5 but 6 sux0red bigtime. And the one with
|
|
Office 97? Yuck. Big trucking yuck. Hate it, hate it hate it. No,
|
|
there's not a new one since that's worth even 8 bits. So you're still
|
|
wondering what I hate the most. I'll give you an example to give
|
|
yourself. Write 10K or so into notepad, or edit or something. Paste it
|
|
into your late model of Word (TM.) Now, save it. See what I mean? You
|
|
don't? OK I'll describe it. A dir read shows it as 16K or so. Now, save
|
|
it to C: and also save the same exact file to A: One's about 16K and
|
|
the other's 14 or 18K, huh? Yikes.
|
|
Now forget that for a second. Type about 1700 words into Word (TM)
|
|
How much K does THAT take up? About 14K. FOURTEEN THOUSAND CHARACTERS
|
|
TO STORE UP ABOUT EIGHT THOUSAND CHARACTERS?
|
|
WTF??? DOES .DOC STAND FOR DOCUMENT OR dOS-ENCRYPTED-WASTE-OF-TIME-AND-
|
|
SPACE-CONTINUEUM-oVERLOAD-cODE??? What a pain. And you thought Word Perfect
|
|
was kludgie??? Yikes. Wait'll .NET finishes trying to take over the world.
|
|
Wow, there's a hand hammered steel shield about 25" in diameter with a
|
|
brass centerpiece and it's on the wall above the coffeemaker in this
|
|
Chicago Swedish restaurant and I can't stop looking at it.
|
|
But I digress. Those two columns await us, and I noticed at midweek that
|
|
many issues have come and gone without bringing you our favorite feature
|
|
column, GATT. Guitar Anarchist Tips and Tactics. So let's start with that
|
|
and onto everything else.

f. Guitar anarchy. What can I say? They go 2gether like ramalama and ding
|
|
l. dong. Like Art and Garfunkle, I mean art galleries and cheese; or oil
|
|
a. and vinegar.
|
|
m. Yeah, so why?
|
|
i. Who knows.
|
|
n. I do, sort of. Guitar just gets in your head better. From Phil Ochs
|
|
g. to Andres Segovia; Joan Baez to Billy Bragg. You say something with a
|
|
.. guitar behind it, and people listen for an extra millisecond. And that
|
|
l. makes all the diff-
|
|
i. Try it for yourself.
|
|
p. Next coffeeshop you're in, turn to someone and say, "George W Bush
|
|
s. really friggin' sucks because he stole the election and now he's taking
|
|
!. us to war every Christmas."
|
|
See how many (or few) people take note. How many reply, how many shrug
|
|
or react in ANY way.
|
|
|
|
Now try the following.
|
|
|
|

|
|
George W Bush

Really friggin sucks
|

And now he's taking us
|
|

|
D G
|

To war every Christmas.

See what I mean?

I wonder what she thought
|

As she stood there, strong and tall
|
|
She couldn't turn away
|
|
She was forced to watch it all
|
|
|
|
Did she long to offer comfort
|
|
As her country bled?
|
|
With her arm forever frozen
|
|
High above her head.
|
|
|
|
She could not shield her eyes
|
|
She could not hide her face
|
|
She just stared across the water
|
|
Keeping freedom's pace
|
|
|
|
The smell of smoke and terror
|
|
Somehow reduced her size
|
|
So small within the harbor
|
|
But still we recognized
|
|
|
|
How dignified and beautiful
|
|
On a day so many died
|
|
I wonder what she thought
|
|
And I know inside she cried.

SITTING IN FRONT OF DAHMER'S OLD HOUSE
|
|
|
|
I contemplate non-violence. I think about why
|
|
it's so important right this very moment. I
|
|
think about visioning out conflict resolution.
|
|
Wow, what a place to ponder these things.
|
|
I think of cemetary grass, and other grasses
|
|
all growing where Dahmer's house used to be.
|
|
I think about the big high fence around the
|
|
grasses, and the old garbage bags and beer
|
|
bottles that blew their way into the grass.
|
|
What else is in there? Feelings, vibrations,
|
|
smells, noises, I'm sure. But I haven't been
|
|
here in the quiet yet. Each time there's still
|
|
a buzz. Someday it'll be quiet enough to feel
|
|
all that. Then I can seek what I'm finding here.
|
|
Yes, you heard me right. Seek what I'm finding.
|
|
I already found it, that's why I keep coming here.
|
|
I'm seeking what I found elsewhere in this town.
|
|
In the center of canibalism, pedofilia, violence,
|
|
death and destruction, there sits something very
|
|
American. Something criminal while confusing; insane
|
|
yet sensible, something so gruesome, but at the same
|
|
time so very very sublime.
|
|
It's where we come from and where we're going.
|
|
Do you have the courage to go here? I don't but
|
|
I keep trying anyways. Whenever I feel just a
|
|
little bit of courageous energy, I go here, and
|
|
then I skate right away skittish the moment I feel
|
|
the fear. It's so tribal, yet so icky. How can that
|
|
be? There is a dance here. I can see it. I cannot
|
|
hear or feel it yet but I can see it. In the wind,
|
|
when the grass blows back and forth, gentle but
|
|
rough at the same time. A wind that can blow you
|
|
away, or could carry you home.
|
|
This is some of what Dahmer left behind, and
|
|
what none of us have ever been ready to discuss.
|
|
This column is about all this and none of it at
|
|
the same time. It will grow into something that
|
|
will hopefully help anyone trying to study violence.
|
|
Timothy McVeigh, Unabomber, George W. Bush, the
|
|
DC Sniper, Madeline Albright, Saddam Hussein, Jeff
|
|
Dahmer, the WTC pilots, Harvard and Yale University.
|
|
Besides skulls, what are these people all trying to
|
|
tell the world?
|
|
|
|
[ed note: this feature was conceived just a
|
|
few weeks ago - shortly after a Milwaukee man
|
|
was beaten to death by children ages 10-14 here
|
|
in Milwaukee. Vigils began out in front of the
|
|
house where the beating happened. Candles and
|
|
prayer. Ummm. About 10 blocks walking distance
|
|
from Dahmer's house? Perhaps an even more
|
|
fitting memorial would be a weekly midnite walk
|
|
from that house to Dahmer's; while addressing
|
|
issues of nonviolence. Are we ready for that?
|
|
How many decades?? ]

x Pumped up my front tire this a.m.
|
|
- It was all the way flat. I'm wondering if it'll
|
|
m hold air now while I'm coffeeshoppin' or not. It
|
|
a held up for the whole ride. (14 minutes all out,
|
|
s how many miles is that? check someday...) We'll
|
|
see.
|
|
i If it's what I think - it's the weirdest most
|
|
n unexplainable phenomenon in the world.
|
|
|
|
t [ed note: 3 days later - YUP, what you thought.]
|
|
h
|
|
e Once or twice a year in the spring and fall, I
|
|
lose all the air in a car, bike or motorscooter
|
|
g tire. I've confirmed all three over the years.
|
|
u And Conn, Colo, Wisc all confirmed too.
|
|
l Is it the temperature and barometric pressure
|
|
f maybe? Does it rise or fall just right and make
|
|
a tire porous for a few minutes and then back to
|
|
a normal right away? No idea. That's my only guess.
|
|
g I've asked many different people in many different
|
|
a cities and states, from many different countries
|
|
i and cities and that's the best any of them could
|
|
n come up with. So that's MY guess too.

For beauty, is an asset.
