Start up script for Ubuntu for x11vnc

I was scratching my head about why I couldn't get remote access to the Ubuntu computer in the basement from my laptop. Dawned on me--I need to put the x11vnc startup script where Ubuntu will see it everytime it starts up. Dah. Welcome, that kept me from working on catching up with the checkbook balancing, which I am way behind on, and that I have been using the Linux program KMyMoney to do.

4:30; hit the tub

4:30, and Dorothea dropped the children off at the Unies. I am hitting
the tub. I now have Opera on the MDA, have figured out how to disable
the locking screen, and have started working my way through updating
and consolidating my contacts on Gmail

This morning, Liam and I walked Stella to Starbucks. He got a hot
chocolate and I coffee.

Madeline's parade was cancelled due to the rain.

When I went to grab the New York Times Magazine just now, I realized
it was "the college issue," thick, too. I was going to leave it
behind, but then thought perhaps i better take a look.

Formatting and Blogspot player

I have satisfied myself that the line breaking is a Blogspot issue, and that the best that I can do is to use a very simple template and just live with it.

I did discover play.blogsot.com which is a way to watch photos as they are uploaded to Blogspot. Hypnotic.

Furthermore, on the formatting thing, okay--looks like somebody (something) is putting in tags--not Blogspot, because Blogspot uses . Again, I will just have to live with it, perhaps clean it up periodically.

Blogspot formatting

Okay, here is the formatting scoop in regards to how I am doing mobile
blogging. The process starts with thumb-typing in Word on the MDA.
Then the text from the Word document is pasted into an email to
go@blogger.com. The contents of this email are magically posted the
blogspot version of Some Kinda Possible. But there, the lines are
broken up too much.

i?hone brick & antihistamines

iPhone bricks? Perhaps I have made the right choice. certainly there will be linux PPCs in two years when my contract is up. NYT obit of George Rieveschl, chemist who invented Benadryl has this--histamines are chemicals made in some cells that can damage capillaries, allowing blood plasma to leak into body tissues, causing swelling and itching.

Intentional Moodra

Awoken from dream of walking with Sean and Liam in a kind of wooded exurbia area, Mankato like, a bit lost, looking for a new way down the and back to our car. Sean's cellphone rang. In the real world, the sound was the sound of the alarm I had originally set on the old cellphone to bring me out of meditation. I used that for about a week before getting the MDA. So here I am now, sitting at the Y, meditating and all these ideas occur to me that seem ripe for writing down. So I have decided to treat this like being moved by the light--though to thumb-type rather than speak. Madeline' s soccer team played a scrimmage against the coach's other team--Somali girls. They wore scarves and dresses. That led me to the idea of clitorisectomies. Need to look that up and to email to Madeline's Unitarian religious ed teachers. The voice an images in my head, my thoughts, are in one way old friends that have kept me company my whole life. Saying good by to them may not be easy. They may not want to go. Trigger for playing with my beard is daydreaming. Back to meditating until I can do it fifteen minutes uninterrupted. I see the MDA as akin to a medical device. I saw 211 on the scale this morning for the first time in almost two months. -- David

Dismantled Habituated Patterns

Dimantling Habituated Pattrns class was tonight. I had an assignment
and was caught off guard. Sure enough there it was--I had put into
this thing but hadn't acted on it. I have meditated for twenty minutes
a day.

Announced that my pattern would be playing with my beard. Someone said
"that just makes me think of lonely." whch feeds right into my sense
of me not knowing the secret handshake. Makes me think that in a way I
am lonely for myself.

Lonely for interaction that I don't get, maybe. That may be the thing
with my family and the Amygdala moment that I had at dinner the other
night--I lack confidence anyway because I don't think they're
interested anyway.

Yesterday the full moon was four or five diameters above the trees.
Today it is at two o'clock.

Shawn Cassidy 49 and Meatloaf 56.

Burma's military cracks down on the monks. How about them monks?

Trouble sleeping. My tummy is a little rough. Moved upstairs. To much
cantaloupe, maybe. I choked at dinner while eating cantaloupe.
Madeline said that she' d never seen that before.
