Things Around My Neighborhood |

 We recently had a cold spell around our place, and my wife, who loves her plants, was bringing in a lot of them, from out on our patio, to protect them from a possible freeze. It turned out that a little green garden grass snake was hidden in one of the plants and when it had warmed up, it slithered out and the wife saw it go under the sofa.
She let out a very loud scream. I was taking a shower, heard it, and immediately ran out into the living room naked to see what the problem was. She told me there was a snake under the sofa. I got down on the floor on my hands and knees to look for it.
About that time the family dog came and cold-nosed me on the butt. I thought the snake had bitten me ……… My wife thought I’d had a heart attack, so she called an ambulance. The attendants rushed in and loaded me on the stretcher and started carrying me out. About that time the snake came out from under the sofa and the Emergency Medical Technician saw it and dropped his end of the stretcher.
That's when I broke my leg and went to the hospital. The wife still had the problem of the snake in the house, so she called on one of our neighbors. He volunteered to capture the snake. He armed himself with a rolled-up newspaper and began poking under the couch.
Soon he decided it was gone and told the woman, who sat down on the sofa in relief. But in relaxing, her hand dangled in between the cushions, where she felt the snake wriggling around. She screamed and fainted, the snake rushed back under the sofa, and the neighbor man seeing her laying there passed out trying to use CPR to revive her.
The neighbor's wife, who had just returned from shopping at the grocery store, saw her husband's mouth on the woman's mouth and slammed her husband in the back of the head with a bag of canned goods, knocking him out and cutting his scalp to a point where it needed stitches. An ambulance was again called and it was determined that the injury required hospitalization.

A Computer Dating Problem |

 I know I’m not the only one whose computer was really messed up when they changed the day when daylight savings time starts. Up until then, my PC was having no problem keeping track of the right day, date, and time for me automatically. She would religiously check a time server, then would adjust her own clock all by herself.
After they changed daylight saving time, her internet time function failed miserably. I would manually set the clock to the correct time, then find her one hour behind the next day. Just like a woman! At first I thought she was acting up, perhaps entering menopause, and then I even started thinking about the Matrix. I’m not sure if Macs are affected.
First I will explain how you can quickly work around the problem. Then I will let you in on a great program I found to replace the Windoze XP time function on your computer. This is the best way to go, because the built-in time function is very basic. Microsoft never gave it much attention once they released XP, since it worked ok.
You can easily work around the problem by disabling the ‘internet time’ function. Look for the digital clock in the far right corner of the desktop toolbar and right click on it. While hovering over the vertical menu, left click on “Adjust Date/Time”. Then select the “Time Zone” tab and verify the time zone is correct. At the bottom, make sure the box “Automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time” in Unchecked, then click on “Apply” along the bottom. Now you will have to adjust your time manually.
If you have a bit of time, I suggest you take a look at replacing the time function with some more sophisticated software. I’m using Chameleon Clock now and am very happy with it. You can customize the looks with skins and other goodies, easily add time servers, to name a few of the options. Did I mention that it’s very pretty to look at!! |
