If you can read this, due to issues with page display using Internet Explorer (Talk about IRONY), I will not be posting here for a while. I still can't see the content with IE, so I'll be posting in the future at my Blogspot blog

If you are reading this, likely, you have Firefox or another Mozilla Browser! It seems IE hates me! I am also running my blog content on Blogspot at http://theamazongshrinkingman.blogspot.com . Some of my readers have emailed me to let me know about the problem and when I booted up IE to check it (I use Firefox, myself!), sure enough, links and friends display but the content is blank!

If you are able to read this with Internet Explorer as your browser, please comment in to let me know! Either that or email me at gunsel2001(at)yahoo(dot)com. I'd appreciate it! That way I'll know if MSN has fixed the problem or not!

Merry Christmas and if you haven't got your label tags for the presents yet, Here ya go! Merry Christmas! Either print on 8 1/2X11 cardstock or Avery 8160 or 5160 Address Labels!

This is off my usual topics of Bicycling and Nutrition/weight loss, but I had to put up a lighten up post! I've been playing with Animorphic imagery. Here are some of the results!

I couldn't resist this little homage to the early claymations. I did have some fun putting it together.

I've set up a training tool for you to use.It is HERE at savefile for the 2007 version, and HERE for this years. What it is is a Mileage and Average Speed Diary. All you have to do is enter the appropriate numbers in the appropriate cells and there ya go!

The Format is Excel, as a template file. I have several sample mileages and times in it so you can see what it does. Clear those miles out of the cells. It's set up for 2006. I'll be bringing out the 2007 file in January. There is no spyware or virus' in it, but feel free to scan the file for your own security. There aren't any little Easter Eggs in it either, it's just a simple, clean and easy to use program template. It'll open with MS Excel or Open Office, either one and also under Neooffice/J 1.2.2 with OS-X. It will shortly be tested on Oo2.X under KANOTIX 64 w/a 2.6.13 kernel.

The templates are copyrighted under creative commons by me and I hereby authorize license for free to any user. The program can be modified to your taste and is based on Open Source Code. The only stipulation I have is that the program cannot be sold. You can give away as many copies as you want though! Use it in good health and enjoy!

 

Just got this today! I have been rebroadcast to the universe at large, so ET, if you comment on my space here, let me have a link to your complete internet address, including the Stellar System you are commenting from. I do have to bar people commenting through Uranus, though due to this being a family friendly site!

I guess I am starting to have enough internet presence that hackers are starting to notice me. mhsboxoffice@aol.com, 3dboss@compasswa.com, just to let you know, I'm not stupid enough to open an attachment from somebody I've never heard of! Marie, aka 3dboss, your IP is 70.20.145.158 and you tried to send me W32Beagle@mm.zip. mhsboxoffice, your IP is 67.91.64.147, and you tried to send me W32Mydoom.L@mm in a readme.zip file.  I have excellent internet security, and I don't POP3 my public email address, so you can't exploit that weakness. Welcome to the spotlight.

Here is Peeko's Homepage. It's a live chatroom behind the scenes. Who know's I might even be on when you drop in! It's a free download, and is open source. Do check it out!

Check outy the Screenshot! I have been translated into Korean! Kinda cool, isn't it? I don't know if it is a standard service or demand driven one, but someone over there searched out my blog specifically, and it was mirrored in Korean!

By the way, I hate to sound like a schill here, but feel free to visit my sponsored links, this is one of the way's I am trying to pay for my trip to the Lotoja, as well as buy a suitable lightweight roadbike for the race! Either this, or this! I'm actually leaning now toward the Allez, I'm a big horse of a feller, and an all carbon frame could definately be a crash disaster!

I think the photo says it all!
