Subj : Re: Miss.RvrDamBreach-Davenpt To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Mon Jul 29 2019 17:17:22 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 03-Jul-2019 16:03 <=- NB>>> Probably... :) I'm currently on the last packet I brought with NB>>> me, downloaded the night before I left to come up here... :) BM>> Here comes the flood of replies! NB>> Yup... and then the predicted drought and then again flood.... NB>> and now I'll be off again for almost a week, again at the Pond... NB>> I'll just keep plodding away at messages and try to not be too NB>> far behind... ;) BM> And I'll be in your shoes shortly -- stretching them out, I'm sure BM> (sorry! ) as off to New Hampshire and then Vienna for a month BM> total. And now soon to return, to find your deluge to answer.... ;) It's been bad enough for me that I was away for about 3 weeks out of 5 (from June 14 to July 20)... close to being caught up now, admittedly I've not rushed on these replies to you... but pretty current otherwise at the moment... and then a couple weeks still before I'm off again... BM>> ...Between finishing my replies and BM>> starting a new one have checked to see if anything from my helper in BM>> New Zealand on the copying of not-yet-watched TV shows from the old BM>> Backend system to the new one. Combination of him helping me and me BM>> helping him as he had previously written the programme just more or BM>> less needed someone to check a few details: things can work fine on a BM>> local system but don't realize I don't have a utility file he does, or BM>> a variable isn't populating quite right, etc. NB>> Works out as a good thing for both of you.... :) BM> Yes, that's what I figure. In one way I get the better of the deal BM> because he's customizing the instructions for what I have here. And BM> he gets to test his utility on a live and 'raw' system and make BM> corrections/comments. LIS, I've needed to install a few utility BM> files. he's needed to make permissions/file ownership alterations. He'll have a more robust piece of software, you'll have a nice working utility.... :) BM> The good news is I think we're about ready to do the full transfer of BM> TV show files from the old system to the new. (Yea!!) Waiting for BM> the system to be available currently (the export/import process will BM> pause itself when a show is being recorded so as to not 'overflow' the BM> read/write channels and cause corruption). Sounds promising... :) BM>> So the key is just stay out of potential problem areas! Though not BM>> always possible like with my little incident of having to drive BM>> through that big puddle. NB>> Most of that can be avoided though, with just a little planning NB>> and knowledge... though I ended up once needing to drive through NB>> a deeper than expected puddle on the highway following that major NB>> storm in MD that I had windshield wiper issues in... Got back on NB>> the road, and just a little farther down was that puddle... with NB>> cars driving through it... no place to go to avoid it... ;) BM> Yup: sometimes just can't do anything. In our separate instances had BM> to drive through the puddle else cause an accident. In my case grasp BM> the steering wheel firmly as know there's going to be a sudden and BM> sharp pull. Pay attention to the road plus look for an escape -- in my BM> case there was a street a little beyond I could turn on to but that's a BM> sharp right and if the engine dies I don't have power steering, BM> brakes, etc. A little further was a gas station -- could at least do a BM> 45ø turn and have a little longer distance to stop. Ended up not BM> needing either: chugged (litterally!) on to my dr's appointment. Things all worked out nicely after all... :) ttyl neb .... Two paradoxes are better than one; they may even suggest a solution. --- EzyBlueWave V3.00 01FB001F * Origin: Tiny's BBS - http://www.tinysbbs.com (454:1/452) .
