Assumptions and Resources

Future Activity

priority - description_link.
  1. 10K - credit cards Run the 500/month credit card payoff to Washington Mutual then Wells Fargo Financial. Run the 300/month auto maintenance to Jensen then Wells Fargo Financial. Run the 300/month house maintenance to Chase then Home Depot. Continued at .

  2. 10K - gutters. This is to direct water away from the house and protect the trim at the edge of the roof. Use the J hook gutters. Get the J hook gutters out of the literature.
  3. 10K - Main Floor Computers. Use woolerie to hold the all but the upstairs and the sciences expanded as well as the main backup for all on the external drive. Betty is using it as a DVD machine. Use wyerie to hold the authentic copy of all and a backup zipped.
  4. 10K - Basement Computer. Use waterie (lilith/knoppix external drive) to hold all the sciences (inc biology, chemistry etc.) expanded.
  5. Use winerie for experimental os machine.
  6. 10K -

    Upper Floor Computers Use winerie (linux 3) as an experimental machine and the business/computer files expanded.

  7. 10K - Track. Resite the two doorways. Build a two track loop over the brickways with sidings. Bridge the coal shute. Use web pages for communication, internally and externally.
  8. 10K -

    ceiling leak Continued from 2007-09-22 03:30. Fix the ceiling. This is bad weather work.

  9. 10K - Upgrade Transportation. Replace the Blazer S-10 with a Blazer ten years newer and with a larger engine toward the end of 2008 when the Buick is reasonably paid off. This is to stop the repair work. This will also take advantage of the coming inflation. The engine is in poor shape as is the metal work. It will also add a new capability of towing of a car, trailer or boat. This capability is likely not needed until the spring of 2010.
  10. 10K - buy land. Anywhere to the North around the Black Hills or Oil or Lignin or South of Sioux Falls would be good.
  11. 10K - finish shed roof. This is to increase the area out of the rain between the alley and the house. It will provide water to plantings at the dripline. It will check out the idea of using sideways installation to build roof plants. It is also the first cut of a green house.
  12. 10K - soil insulation. This is to insulate the house with foam on the basement level and direct water away from the house. Use the plastic-air-paper-crete bricks to face the foam.
  13. 10K - cistern. Get a cistern installed underground. This is to increase the irrigation water available during the summer and to act as an emergency water supply. It should be at least 500 gallons. It would be nice to move water from the rain barrels to the cistern to cut down on the trash that would be transferred.
  14. 10K - finish deck. This is to increase the area out of the rain and create the greenhouse plant level. The first step is to get the posts to the right height and get the beams in place. The second step is to get the plastic skin in place (2x4 frame with corrugated plastic sheets).
  15. 10K - plastic bricks. Make bricks from dirt and ground plastic and heat. It is difficult to figure out how to get the plastic into the brick. What about fires? Try soaking in the plastic as vacuum, then dip in molten plastic, then pressure. How about as an aggregate. How about as a squared bottle to hold air paper bricks.
  16. 10K - air paper concrete bricks. Make bricks from paper and cement, 50-50 by weight. Include air as in a flowable. Use them for retaining bricks and insulation in a plastic bottle. Use them to get an underground storage started.
  17. 10K - plant Five Acre Wood with fruit and nut trees. This is to increase the food supply and land value. The planting can be started in October after the first time the temperature drops below 48 F at night or 10 C.
  18. 10K -

    gardens Continued from 2007-09-22 03:30. Get the transplants done. This should be after the first frost two weeks from now. Continued at .

  20. 10K -

    blazer Continued from 2007-09-22 03:30. Get the exhaust pipe fixed. Continued at .

  22. 10K -

    HD TV Continued from 2007-09-22 03:30. Get the 64 bit AMD machine converted back to Windows and Knoppix. This machine will no longer work for any experimentation. That will need to be linux3. Get the USB HDTV PCtuner and antenna after October. This will reduce the load on the AMD machine and hopefully stretch it's life out until fall 2008. Convert the VHS tapes to DVD. Then get a $100 64bit AMD machine to replace it. Continued at .

  23. 10K -

    Betty's neck Continued from 2007-09-22 03:30. Get the neck spine fixed. This can happen as early as March, 2008.

  24. 10K - eliminate books. This is to free up house space. The FICTION has been eliminated. The PHILOSOPHY has been eliminated. All public domain books have been eliminated. All non-currently used COMPUTER books have been eliminated.
  25. 10K - finish basement. This is to make room for the laboratory which is used during the winter.
  26. 10K - thick garage slab. This is to avoid problems with the city over cars. It is also to be a starting point for the garage space. Skip over the entrance to the basement.
  27. 10K -

    social security Continued from 2007-09-01 03:30 Add the social security income. This will be about October 2009. Add the medicare coverage. This will be when I am no longer covered by Primus. Get Medicare setup for Betty. Betty will set up an appointment in November to get coverage. She needs to find out what Blue will charge for supplemental coverage.

  28. 10K -

    Container House http://gliving.tv/architecture-design/genius-design-the-house-that-moves-with-you/

  29. 10K -

  30. 100K - close loop on power, HVAC, and insulation.
  31. 100K - food business.
  32. 100K - lumber business.
  33. 100K - multi-touch/voice business.
  34. 1000K - used cathode. The copper, zinc, lead, iron, tin, gold, platinum, tellurium, niobium metal business, underground. http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/lead/ Plating iron from basic solution would be a great source of the intended and unintended alloying elements.
  35. 1000K - chemical distribution business.
  36. 10000K - niobium mining in Nebraska.
  37. 10000K - platinum mining in Oregon.
  38. 10000K - uranium mining in Nebraska and South Dakota.
  39. 10000K - midpacific colony. It would be of 100 people as manufacturing and depot operations

Now all she needs to do is get over the surgical damage and spend more time walking and swimming. Although she has been able to do the housework: cooking, cleaning, and putting my junk away; she hadn't been able to walk much nor do much gardening. Now she has plans. The neck is next.

  • External Hard Disk Continued from 2007-09-22 03:30. Take it to work and try with lilac. It was copied to lilac at about 30 MB/sec. It has problems on the second connection to lilac. It is not reliable currently for writing back to it. It is probably due to permissions. It needs to be set up as /home in the long run. This is now in linux3.

  • Upstairs Computer. Continued from 2007-09-30 03:30. The linux3 machine is now needed on a more production basis. It should hold business and computer expanded. Kevin is using it for his gimp work. Add the restore list of programs. Done. Test out the 250 GB external hard drive, library. Eliminate the backup directory. This is done.

  • New Computer Continued from 2007-10-14 03:30. Get the $50 computer from S 17th. Now that linux is playing DVDs it can replace the 1.7 GHz unit in the bedroom. That allows the unit in the bedroom to replace the 300 MHz unit upstairs. That allows the 200 MHz unit to be thrown away. It was gotten and tested. The monitor isn't being driven. Otherwise it acted well. Take it back for replacement on Monday. The problem is that the digital interface is interfering with the analog. Get the Y cable on Tuesday. They close at 18:00. The cable was gotten. The monitor was stuck on the wrong branch (of course). Now that it is on the right branch, the add/remove was used in the package mode to bring it to a full system. Next, use the list mode and the restore.txt file list to bring it to the DVD playing level on Wednesday. The wrong livna package 86-64/6.1 was installed. It was disinstalled with the yum erase command. The i386/7.2 package was installed. The list was installed. A dvd was played successfully using kaffeine. Download a movie and play it. The www.archive.org was used to locate 14+ movies indexed as Sherlock Holmes. The first was downloaded during the night as a 1/2 GB mpeg4. It played OK with kaffeine but not with gnome's player (missing the H.264 plugin). Try an mpeg2 version of 5 GB next. The mpeg2 version was downloaded. This is done.

  • Update System Continued from 2007-10-14 03:30. http://www.nwtmintbullion.com/ - add to weekly menu This was done on lilac. Do it also on lily. This is done.

  • south gardens Continued from 2007-10-28 03:30. Get the transplants done to the south. Check out the plant stores. Transplant a few saskatoons to the gardens about the dead Maple. Consider what should be planted in the two old strawberry beds. 

    cherries - recheck for small trees to plant.
apples - none currently ready for transplant.
	Try sticking some twigs in pots to see if they root over the rest of the fall.
pears - see if it is possible to root branches from the tree in the front yard.
    This should be after the first hard frost two weeks from now. The transplants to the north will be set up as a separate project. It is too dry to do anymore transplanting. Start again in the spring.

  • pond Continued from 2007-10-21 03:30. Get the carpet into place from the Five Acre Wood on the weekend. The carpet was picked up. The blackcap raspberries were pruned out. The carpet was layed out. The East end of the pond has settled enough that filling will be needed in the future. Use the dirt from the strips going in the North driveway.

  • google Started 2007-11-04 03:30. Go to the OLUG meeting to scope them out. They are limited to data center activities in PCs, linux, and python. This doesn't look of interest to a perl person such as myself. They have put into practice as 'the summer of code' that I tried without success to introduce by paying for an application for a grant. See platinum.

  • pickup Continued from 2007-11-01 03:30. There is a problem with the brakes. Brake fluid was added. The problem of the brakes going down too far is not solved. Get it to Jensen.

The following assumes that there is a cold wall and/or air stratification. Get a couple of infrared spots. The following assumes that there is 4 deg F air stratification between the ceiling and floor. Get a couple of heat transfer pipes. Remember that this is only useful during the winter. Spring/Fall and Summer each require different strategies. It was explained to her again that she must agree to changes to the bedroom, the bathroom, and the kitchen. It has been shipped. It has arrived. It has been opened out. Change the sheets. It has been tested and works. Continued at .

  • Diabetes Continued from 2007-11-04 03:30. The weight mixed with diabetes is killing me early. Get the blood sugar down by getting the weight down. A weight of 255 will take me back to the last minimum from 1998 and will match my weight in 1990. The date has been reset to Nov 22. The weight is down to 257.5 lbs. The weight loss is on track. I'm snacking too much at the end of the day. The blood sugar has managed to reach a minimum of 106 just before dinner at 5:00. But three hours later it was 141. And the next morning it was 149. Ways and means of cutting down on the snacking were gone over with Betty. Try the alternate fast day approach to killing fat cells. Continued at .

  • painting West Continued from 2007-11-18 03:30. Paint the West Wall and cabinet in the basement. Dennis has been told. It has been painted. More paint has been purchased for south.

  • poetry Started on 2007-12-01 03:30. Locate the poetry mentioned in the review on Anglo-Saxon Heroic Poetry. The first three: Beowulf, Deor, and Widsith were located in Wikipedia. The poetry classification was opened up in the fiction library. Martial was added. The cross links were created. The review was copied to poetry for the first three as they were a collection.

  • google earth Started on 2007-12-01 03:30. The updated version on wyerie still fails to work probably due to the lack of a graphic card (and it is going to stay lacking because of the odd form factor). Add Google Earth to woolerie. It was hunted up, downloaded and installed. It wants a font that isn't there. It wants a driver for the graphics card that isn't there. The system worked without both. Look up 2330 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94114 where Betty's grandparents and cousins lived. She was able to partially identify the house. The address marker is in the wrong location by a partial block. A photograph is needed. Ask the relatives for one. Add Google Earth to worrie. Done. Continued at .

  • voice input, mpx Continued from 2007-11-18 03:30. A combination of multi-touch for mouse and voice input/katapult for keyboard should be used as a new project with Calvin. An example board is: http://www.redferret.net/?p=9436 We can work with the existing projects. This will build the expertise to become consultants. It is also something needed for Primus a couple of years down the road. It is also something that will allow me to work half-time at Primus and not exceed the Social Security limits. Get MPX installed. The url for MPX is http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/mpx/. It was read over. The multiple foci allow multiple people to use the same desktop. The current effort is to get two mice and and two keyboards working on any one of the three systems, lily, lilac, and linux3. The focus is now winerie (linux3). "To get MPX, clone X. The best way to do this is to use the git_xorg.sh script to download all necessary modules." The url to work with git and x is http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide xcb will need to be gotten from git. libdrm 2.3.0 according to pirut is the FC6 version. Note that the latest from git is recommended.

    Tom was provided with a copy of the news article. Jason and Kevin were provided with a microphone. It is somewhat working on Windows 2000 on the 300 MHz machine. He will check it at home for better operation. It worked just fine at Jason's home. It worked just fine on the 1.7 GHz system upstairs. It worked but at low volume on the lily system using alsa. Redo the work in the basement Windows 2000 to see if there were any changed settings. Get it working with a camera. Run it over the net. Below is the best guess on video conferencing. http://www.linuxscrew.com/2007/09/06/video-conference-between-linux-and-windows/ The summation for our purposes is that interoperability is out the window. The best package for us is ekiga - a gnome package which will run with KDE desktop. http://ekiga.org/index.php?rub=1 The closest in KDE is Kopete - a irc package. Improve the usage of GIMP and BLENDER on linux3. http://www.osweekly.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2672&Itemid=449 The screensaver was changed so that it quit locking the screen. Sometime it doesn't lock. http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS3871478989.html Calvin says he is no longer interested in linux. http://webpages.shepherd.edu/sshurbut/engl370/Sound File Page.htm The usb keyboards are being moved to winerie for multikeyboard. The one at work has been brought home. A USB mouse has been obtained. Use the USB hub from the basement for now. The hub was hooked up. The USB mouse and keyboard were hooked up in parallel to the PS2 mouse and keyboard. Both mice (PS2 and USB) worked on the same pointer. The PS2 keyboard was dead while the USB keyboard was active. The PS2 mouse was removed. The PS2 keyboard was removed. Hookup a second usb mouse and keyboard to see what happens. Buy a second mouse. The second mouse is hooked up. It drive the same cursor. This problem has lost enough interest to no longer be pursued. Continued at .

  • future Continued from 2007-11-11 03:30. Get out Eric Drexler's book and reread it. The book is the Engines of Creation. It should be in the physics library. It isn't there nor in the computer library nor in the CATALOG. It would be useful as a template for the new book. http://www.e-drexler.com/d/06/00/EOC/EOC_Cover.html The second is Nanosystems ... http://www.e-drexler.com/d/06/00/Nanosystems/toc.html The third is Engines of Creation 2.0. http://www.wowio.com/users/product.asp?bookid=503 There will be a change in the future where Eric's change from chemistry to physics is replicated from physics to biology. Write a book about it. Replace bone with carbon nanotubes via an enzyme assember equivalent to the rna or cellulose assember. carbon nanotube armor like chitin. building material like lumber or bamboo with carbon nanotubes replacing lignin. a carbon nanotube like material with C-N or B-N or Al-N rolled sheets rather than C-C. http://pubs.acs.org/cgi-bin/abstract.cgi/jpchax/1994/98/i36/f-pdf/f_j100087a019.pdf?sessid=6006l3 It was saved in chemistry/equip/chemical/ The C-N, B-N or Al-N likely can't form pi-orbital sheets (although the 5 electron N may make it possible). Try computational chemistry methods. Also consider C-N and C-P rolled sheets as a way to crosslink tubes. The biological approach is being investigated according to a news article. I have no special talent or real interest in this area. Quit following up.

  • house checklist Continued from 2007-11-04 03:30. Bring the checklist uptodate for the house. There is no information in the version 5 checklist. There is no information in the version 4. Go back to the house notebooks in version 3. The checklist has been copied across from version 3. The family intro was reworked while I was at it. The intro changes are major reworking to get stuff into the requirements. The equip section now needs to be brought uptodate from the checklist. Compare the introduction of family to the house checklist. The backups need to be added to the checklist. This is not a hot issue. Consider this a finished item until it comes up again.

  • science library Continued from 2007-10-21 03:30. There is a large section in wikipedia on the scientific method that needs to be incorporated. A link was used from the library biblio to the scientific method biblio for whitesides paper on writing chemical research papers. He seems conflicted about the purpose of the papers in that he doesn't treat it as a stepwise process. There are a couple of books on scholarly work such as Borson that should be there. Put in a classification in science for scholarship. Put this off until triggered again. Continued at .

  • daily Continued from 2007-12-01 03:30 monthly. Add the following line to daily.html in STANDARD. 

    2007-11-07 Added pointer to Daily Template.
    Done. Add in the explanation for the updated singleton element to daily.html in STANDARD. Done. Add explanatory material to pcheck.html in STANDARD. It is already there.

  • openSMILES Continued from 2007-12-01 03:30. The openSMILES approach is a good way to linearize chemical equations. Learn it. Use InCHi for the indexing and not for chemical equations once structure past the first level of InCHi is needed. An example is: 

    HNaO + ClH > H2O > ClNa + H2O (Use this form because there is no confusion.)
NaOH + HCl > H2O > NaCl + H2O (Don't use this form because a direct lookup with
	InCHi could have been used rather than a conversion to InCHi and 
	then a lookup with verification against the canonical openSMILES name.)
    I could lose this argument. The first level after InCHi=1 has been done in chemistry/equip/. There are problems with polymers and alloys.

  • chemical scripts Continued from 2007-12-01 03:30 openSMILES. The problem of the output of the chemical script has been considered. The conclusion is that the third of the triplet is the output. Consider how to get from the output to the usual form of the output. An example is: 

    NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O		(25 C and 1 atm using 1 gmw of each per liter of water )
NaOH + HCl > H2O > NaCl + H2O	(H2O is the name of the reaction)
"HNaO + ClH" > H2O 				(will output "ClNa + H2O" from the H2O script)
								(concentrations should also be available)
    This looks like the duality between formulas and values in spreadsheets or values and units in physics is appearing. More elaborate scripts will do the conversion of NaOH(s) to water solution, the use of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the evaporation of the water to get the salt. Alternatively it can handle stuff as ions. For the full use, both need to happen in stages. This was discussed with Dale. He will not get excited until an application is available. Try the solution mining application. This project is done. Continued at .
