The September issue features XML

This is interesting none of my linux hard drives are now functional. The image was captured within a live session of the Full Monty KDE4 distro. I have found a replacement and will soon be purchasing a replacement drive. So I will be back to doing as I wrote in my very first article to appear in the Magazine. That was the Dec. 2007 which showed how to setup a multi-booting multi disk system.

Not only that but Windows failed to boot so I wound up using the recovery partition to restore my XP system. This did an analysis and reported that the 320 gig and the 60 gig drive failed due to an error 18 cache. Now the recovery yielded wound up with a system with no internet access.

At that time I could still boot into Knoppix 6.5 and from here I was able to download a windows version of Firefox. This was burned to a cd and then it was installed after booting into Windows. So I have a system which is free from Internet Explorer. What had been 87 gigs now has only 20 gigs so there is much free space. Almost all the languages downloaded to windows for exploring while writing this series are gone.

Now the coverage of the material on XML is found at the following link:

Articles from long past discovered

While looking through my old files I found an old copy of the Super Pet Gazette which I had saved. So this developed a desire to learn if by any chance there might be other issues of this to be found on the web.

When I entered the term Super Pet Gazette into the google search engine I learned that there were indeed many items entered. There was one which contained a list of files of the Super Pet Gazette which had been saved in pdf format. This covered some but not all issues from the beginning till the gazette ended publication in 1986.

The end of the Gazette was the decision my Commodore to quit making the Super Pet. This caused many of the members to change their alliance to the Amiga which Commodore acquired or the IBM PC which seems to think they invented the PC although Apple, Radio Shack and Commodore as well as several firms manufacturing CP/M machines had been selling personal computers before IBM thought of getting into the micro computer market.

Any way these files are found at the following:

http://6502.org/documents/publications/superpet_gazette

This will take you to the list of pdf files. I am introduced as an associate editor in Vol I issue 3. Then articles I wrote are found in almost all the remaining issues till the publication ends in 1986.

Whoops left out Watfive article

In reviewing the articles it seems that the article for Watfive was left out. Unless of course there is a new alphabet in which W comes after X! So I did a search and learned that I was writing this article about last Christmas and had written the editor that because my son had been shoot I was not quite as about my wits in writing as I might have otherwise been. This fact and the upset over the passing of my wife in Janurary of 2010 were having a deffinet effect upon my attitudes.

Then in Feb. I moved to a small town in Mississippi and was not able to keep my wife's final instructions: "Take care of my little dog." This due to moving into an apartment which did not allow pets. (You can see this little dog by searching for eronstuc on You Tube and viewing some of the videos which Ive posted. The one called the Knicks have nothing on us features a larger dog Toby and the little dog Liz playing with a ball.

Now just how much trouble would a six pound dog be in an apartment. Actually she is much more housebroken than a child who wets their diapers!.

Now to correct the ommission of the Watfive article. This was featured in the June 2011 issue and the following link will take you to the article:
http://pclosmag.com/html/Issues/201106/page19.html

Well I don't know where the bug is but I have tried this on Firefox, Opera, and Chronium on the Full Monty and then Konqueror and Iceweasel on my Knoppix 6.5 partitions and even though the date is clearly 201106, each browser takes you to 201108/page19.html. Once there on the line manually change the 08 to 06 and hit the go key and you will then be viewing the Watfive article. As they said on Laughin years ago Hmmm Very Interesting.
