I have created a new blog … called “Corydon Clock”

My Father-in-Law is “Corydon Clock Repair”. He recently moved last year into a new location, and signed a lease for another 3 or 5 years! He is a clockmaker and quite a good one. He is very talented and can repair practically any antique clock that has been built. I registered his domain and created a simple website, at CorydonClock.com …

He turns 71 years old this Thursday.

Thursday Challenge NOW POSTING for 15SEP05

CURRENT Theme is “PARKS”
(Wilderness, Lakes, Ocean, Mountains, Wildlife, Tents, Cabins, Backpacking, Picnic Tables, Campfires,…)

This is a picture I submitted to this week’s Thursday Challenge .. We visited DisneyLand (that’s a Theme Park, right?) back in January 2002 and this was one of those “Kodak” moments that the Space Mountain facility automatically takes your picture at a vulnerable spot, in hoping to get a great picture and entice you to buy it. When we exited this ride, I saw the digital image on a screen and just KNEW I had to have it!

Top Five On Friday - Week 36

Top 5 “Medical” Songs
(These can have anything to do with the medical profession, doctors, drugs, ailments)

Last week I included the sheet music words for my selections. This week, I thought I would toss up these .mp3 selections onto my server. I have replaced the spaces with dashes to make it easier for upload and play. Feel free to remove them and edit them the way you like.

This is a follow-up to my previous post, at 1800hart.com/blog/2005/09/do-you-have-a-start-page/ titled “Do You Have A Start Page?”…

As I mentioned earlier, I use My.MSN.com as my Start Page. For my blogging activities, I prefer to catch up on other great blogs and news sites (if I can) by using the online www.Bloglines.com site. This site is where I organize all the topics and informational sites that I read daily to keep current in the world news, the world of blogging, and the world within my profession. My bloglines is quite organized. I keep RSS feeds by folder and/or by topic so I can go in and read only specific sections of new RSS feeds that are coming along. For instance, for business related topics I might prefer to read them in the morning. For pet related topics I might prefer to read them later in the evening. For marketing, blogging, or amusing threads .. I might read them during the day, or maybe only once in a while over a few days.

For those few blogs that I follow only periodically in Bloglines, this is what I do

I was visiting my folks the other day, and popped in to see my dad on the computer. He is not that computer literate, although as a Chartered Accountant he has used many computer programs over the years. His sight isn’t that great anymore, and in fact he is blind in one eye. I absolutely hate watching him on the computer, because he has his screen setting to 800 x 600, and his appearance settings to extra large font. Grrr! You can only see half the world Dad. Even though he has to scroll right to see the rest of the world, he doesn’t bother - because he only uses his computer to do one thing … pay bills.

All my dad uses his computer for is to login my folks’ bank account and see what’s going in, out and to pay bills online. It’s cheaper and you save envelopes and stamps, plus you don’t have to leave the house.

I watched him login and when he started his Internet Explorer, it came to some weird page. Obviously, he must have accidentally set another page to be his Start Page, or some spyware ad tricked him into clicking a page that made this new page he Start Page. So, I mentioned … “Why don’t you set your Bank Login Screen as your Start Page?” .. He had no clue what a Start Page is, or what I was talking about. So, I thought I would ‘blog’ about it!

I forwarded my new blog and RSS Feed to a friend today, and he asked me what RSS was. I thought ….. “Doesn’t everybody know about this yet?“.. so, I wrote an entry about it … here …

hartandyvonne.com/blog/2005/09/rss-and-bookmarks/

The nice thing about bookmarks, is that in your browser .. if you like my site or any other site, all you have to do is CTRL-B or ADD BOOKMARK .. and then when you want to visit me, you can just search your bookmarks and point and click a URL link, without ever having to type it.
