Here is a site that you might find useful: http://money.cnn.com/best/bplive/ CNN Money's Best Places to live. It lets you fill in your priorities. I grew up in NYC (da Bronx to be precise) but found that Life After Kids gave me a different set of goals and needs. To each, their own. Hope that you find it useful and best wishes.
This week two of my favorite musicians passed away. Johnny Cash, the legendary Man in Black, and Warren Zevon, the Excitable Boy, both joined the celestial choir this week. Their songs were important to me and I will miss them both. In memorial, I would just like to share the impact that they had on my life. I would never have said that I liked country music until I heard Johnny Cash perform "A Boy Named Sue." (Written by children's story writer Shel Silverstein, I should add.) The song
Heh, somebody has to stand to the side and applaud! Its a dirty job, thank goodness we got it!
With apologies to David Bowie and Mott the Hoople. Heres to all the young skinners blazing new paths: ^^Gabriel for his great OverByte. Love that Minimize to Systray feature! I.R. Brainiac for one of the most innovative skins, Tore Up XP. It has really made me smile! MOrphium, for his many great skins. Not to leave out the dudettes: Crissy14 for her great contributions. Only a partial listing, of course, but worth noting the new blood.<br
Martin, one day I will take you on a tour of New York City where English is a foreign language! Actually your comments made me very appreciative of the U.S. Interesting to see it through your eyes. Let me offer this perspective. I only know a few Englishmen well and those few through skinning. Bryan Cook, Phillip Powell, Neil Banfield, Kevin Purcell and Tim Dagger and of course you are collectively some of the nicest "blokes" that I have ever had the privilege to meet. Whether

Craeonics, MSBLAST spread through sweeps of unprotected ports, not through an attachment. Not having an anti-virus program is akin to risking a fire in your home. It not only effects you, it effects your neighbors as well. And, in the case of the Internet, we are all your neighbors.

Parts of Michigan are getting their power back on. I live 25 miles from Stardock. My power came back on at 7:30 this morning, but neighbors 3 miles away still don't have any power more than 3 hours later. Livonia is still a ghost town. There have been wonderful stories of people helping each other. Sharing gas, food and comfort. I was stuck with three containers of melting ice cream. Fortunately my neighbors helped to eat it! Stay safe everybody.
I recently switched to Trend Micro's Anti Virus software and have been very satisfied. Like most of the major Anti-Virus companies, Trend Micro offers a free on-line scan. House Call is available from http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ Manual removal instructions are available from http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_MSBLAST.A I hope that this helps.
#11 by JourneyMan grayhaze - 8/5/2003 2:44:50 PM I remember when Ugg first made fire. Boy, were we ever scared that day! Then someone threw a hide over the fire and thus was skinning invented! (I can hear the groans now!)
Glad to have you, Kona!
It's an annual event, but it's also one of the best kept secrets. Not when koop is on the job. I ferret those secrets out.
I just found out about this watching international news. While not directly related to skinning, so many of our community members live in the UK, I thought it worthy of a post. This weekend the 3rd Annual Respect Festival is being held in London. The Respect Festival is "London's top free music and dance festival, celebrating the capital's diversity and promoting anti-racism in a day-long festival." You can visit the Respect Festival Homepage at http://www.respectfes
IPlural, "Good Omens" is GREAT! I heartily recommend all the Neil Gaiman books, including "American Gods" and and "Neverwhere." My eternal thanks to AJCrowley for turning me onto him. Currently, I am plodding my way through Harry Potter V (Order of the Phoenix) and Stephen King's Bag of Bones. King's Dark Tower series has been reissued and the first book rewritten. Might be worth checking out again. (IPlural, I think you meant "Gor" referring to the sci-fi series, but "Gore" wo
We didn't mention Pas- always ready to help; Samie (also Sammy, also....well, the list goes on) who has been a tremendous help to me. MikeB, the great and humble. Furan, the mighty. The list goes on. I hope that some reading this will be inspired to visit the channels. See ya, there! </
Windows 95 made computers accessible to a whole generation of "ordinary people." Windows 98 turned that generation on to the internet. It is as fashionable to say "I don't use Windows" as it once was to say "I don't watch TV." Also as meaningless. One persons likes or dislikes or even the likes and dislikes of the 5% of computer users that use Mac or Linux don't change the fact that Microsoft has changed the world. Personally, I never cared for Henry Ford, but it is ir
I am feeling really inspired about some recent events on WinCustomize. The first is the community skinning project begun by ^^Gabriel and c242. I know of several skinners that are devoting their time and effort to making this cooperative venture successful. All involved deserve to be praised. Which brings me to the topic of people willingly contributing their time and efforts to "make things better." MadIce has spent a huge amount of time and effort to create an IRC help guide,
Congrats, themajor! Good one!
Great job by the Admins.- - again.
Terry, I am glad that you are here and that you stayed with us. All the people that you have mentioned are special and you are special as well. Wincustomize is, first and foremost, a community. A community brought together by skinning, by common interests, a community that is international in scope. In a community, we take care of each other. Glad to have you here!
