The Hobbit Hole X - That none have seen but we alone.

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...That none have seen but we alone.

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Good night, Corin. I hope you have some luck getting that fixed later.

Well, The Sixth Sense is about a little boy who can see dead people. Sort of...

I recommend you see Unbreakable... it has a comic book/superhero theme that I think you'd like. Bruce Willis plays a man who discovers that he is, literally, unbreakable.

Hmmm ...

XP does have a firewall. To turn it off:

  1. Go to Start.
  2. Left-click on Control Panel.
  3. Double-left-click Networking and Internet Connections.
  4. Left-click Network Connections.
  5. Right-click the Tripod connection, then left-click Properties.
  6. Left click the Advanced tab.
  7. Clear the option to Protect my computer or network.

When you reinstalled the Tripod application, were you logged in as Administrator?

And how are the other accounts limited?

OK, that's what I did. Still no change.

BTW - Tripod isn't an application. I just access my account on their website. I can either upload my own files or edit them there. I did that today from the office.

The other accounts are limited under XP. It give me the option of making them an Administrator or giving them a limited account. You'll recall Luke's "adventure" with deleting his Mom's account, thus his restrictions.

So far this only seems to be problem with the Tripod site. It's bizarre.

I gotta get some sleep tho. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll get back on this tomorrow night when I get home.

Ah, but less poignant and much more scarey...you get to see ME face to face.

Do you have another software firewall on your system? Black Ice, maybe, or ZoneAlarm?

Are you blocking Java somehow? Has Java been deleted from your system?

Can you get to another website that's all Java'ed up? Try clicking here. Is there a basketball game going on on the phone screen on the left?

Oh, nuts.

Had to go back on the clock for a long time there... anybody still home?

I have a user in Afghanistan that is having trouble with a satellite ISP issue. He doesn't understand the basic issue that it is FREAKING MIRACLE that anything from over there works AT ALL, LET ALONE PERFECTLY...

[sigh} Swell... tell me again why I love this F@#^ing job?

<sigh> They take it so much for granted ...!

Ten years ago we were lucky to have 386es on our desks!

Other than that, how goes it, Master Sea-Man?

it blows.

Sorry, was back on the clock for a bit longer than I expected. I just don't know all of the various internet routing problems that can happen between here and Kandahar or Allah-only-knows-where.

Lots of this stuff is whole new ground on both ends. So why is it my fault when it goes all sideways?

[sigh]

DaBear used to get late night/early morning calls from London. Ick!

Even now, when a pager goes off, I get an adrenalin rush --- fight-or-fling!

You have Freepmail!

The "problem" is now quite unfortunately well known on both sides of this particular issue.

We have an easy fix, but the buttmunch in question refuses to pass it along to his clientele. So... it continues to be my problem. I have to now come up with a way for people to continue to ask for the wrong site, but yet end up at a corrected site, even though they didn't mean to.

No Problem. Can do that. No sense asking poeple to FREAKING ENTER A DIFFERENT URL in their browser.

Buttmunches are like that.

And DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED on the Afghanistan job.

Gosh... I feel a little more testy than usual.

I'm not generally into omen's but I'll take this one and run with it...

What a stunning picture, especially with the reflection of the rainbow on the still water!

A good omen, indeed!

A massage ... that's the ticket.

A dark room, nice atonal sound on the stereo ... maybe the noise of your boat sliding through the water? Sit in one of those massage chairs with your face pointed at the floor while someone walks knuckles up and down your vertebra. A little aromatherapy ... a shot glass of your favorite adult beverage sitting nearby ... and you'd be relaxed.

Hmmm ...!

Ray Charles' rendition of "America the Beatiful" interspersed with some of Pres. Reagan's famous sound bites.

I haven't heard that particular piece, but I think Ray Charles' version of "America the Beautiful" is the BEST!
