The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

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!

So...it's probably OK for a couple days out of the cradle? I think my mistake is that a couple of times I let it go longer than that. But I'm learning! This is good!

Usually when I press the power button, it shuts off just fine. But on occasion, I can press and press that thing, and the screen will NOT power off, until I reset it using the little button on the side. I'm not sure why. Windows CE is still something of a mystery to me, though I'm learning how to find my way around it.

I've got ActiveSync working on my PC at work the way I want it, I think...finally. Don't have a cradle at home, though. Wish I did. Might be up next for things-to-beg-for-futilely. ;-) We kinda got a limited budget.

But I really wanna try out the keyboard! It's probably awful...but even so...it appeals to me.

Oh! And pressing and holding the power button makes it go to a setting where the screen is really too dim to read, but not off. Is that right?

My laptop at work is officially leaving on Friday. It's been having multiple problems. I tried to sign back on before I left for choir, but I got the blue screen of death.

ecurbh - glad ya got the name change done. Make sure you do it with Social Security. We'd been married 15 years and it took trying to file our taxes electronically to find out that the Mrs. had never changed her name with the SS Administration. IRS wouldn't accept it online.

I recommended that he reply with "I too, am sorry that you sound like an ass".

LOL. I like the way you think.

there was no capper today... only had does and a young six pointer in range... the big Kahuna t'warn't nowhere tuh be seen...

jest got back from youth and choir... I'm flat tuckered out...

Yup, Social Security was our first stop. Followed by drivers license, then the bank.

*rolls eyes heavenwards*

I work with people like that. Oh, and just yesterday, someone was asking why everytime they send me pictures over the internet, they bounce back.

I replied "Because hotmail is a free e-mail service and its too small to accept large attachments".

Then I heard "Well, can't you delete some of the stuff you have in there?"

*deep breath* "Yes, but it is still too small to accept a bunch of pics."

"I know! But maybe if you cleared out some of the stuff in there...."

"Hello? Let me speak more slowly...Hotmail....is.....free. It...has....limited...space...unless...you...pay....for...premium....service. That...means...even....if....it's....empty....it....cannot......accept....an....e-mail.....with......five.....pictures...attached."

"Oh."

I'm not watchin' it.

But you can always tell with "Law and Order." If they post a disclaimer about "coincidence" at the end, the plot was ripped right out of the headlines.

South Park spoiler....this episode wasn't all that great. Had the potential to be terrific and wasn't, IMHO. The whole "boobs" thing was kinda tame, doncha think?
