I checked out the GUI's for windows or whatever it is. The Talisman site. Anyway, do you just use that on a computer for HTPC, or anytime you have one running? It seems like the site has had some questionable moments concerning Deviant Art downloadable themes.
Also, if you do use it on everything, does it slow anything down much?
OOPS!! Hi Jim. Have fun out there. Used to live in WY. when I was a teen. Went down to CO. on occasion, always nice.
Near any of the aftermath?

Those ones were simple front ends to HTPC's (single purpose only machines) to hide to hide the computer look on my projector...
nivw, is you wondering where to chill... If its Ali going, den nuff said the dam it is... Then again for a real person that whole scene gets boring after a few days... Lived in Holland for 5 odd years until last month (still have bizo there) but tried to stay away from the tourist soddom and gemorra angle of the dam...

Don't know if you're into climbing Jim (non-technical), but the Mosquitos, out towards Fairplay and Buena Vista were nice ascents. All around 13k, but a pretty straight shot up the mountain.

I was in colorado springs from 1993-1995
I liked it there, i knew some people who were working at apple and cray computers (they both had a factory near there).
I learned alot from them.
Always nice to see pikes peek frome where ever you were at in the area. reminded me when i was in washington state with Mt. Rainier always in the picture.

King:
I spent some time in the Springs in the early 60s. Was a pretty wild town then, but apparently has quieted down a bit. Used to be a place called the Starlight Lounge (every town has one), on Pikes Peak Avenue. down the street from the Antlers. Always something happening, sometimes legal, sometimes not.
Like they say, if I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself. About all I can handle now is the Early Bird Special.

I thought, "I won't try to do the whole thing. I'll just go until I get tired, then turn around." Well, that would have been about 10 minutes into the hike, so I started resting frequently and then trudging on. People were passing me like I was roadkill.
I made it about 2 1/2 miles and around 2000 feet up. About half way down, I began wondering if I'd make it back. One knee was screaming at me and the rest wasn't much better.
Last night I was pretty lame and rolled around in paind in bed, thinking "you dope".
Today most of the pain is gone and I'm getting around OK again. I think I'll take a break on the hiking. Maybe do a mile or two tomorrow to see what breaks.
Here's proof that I made it to timberline yesterday!

One word: Alieve. It's the best friend of the not-as-young-as-used-to-be-but-going-to-play-anyway kind of guy. Take two after playing, live to play another day. Forget and pay. Your choice.

I hear you
New Camera? Or are you just using another pic size?
Post by: JimH on August 12, 2002, 11:14:03 am
I've been shooting all day, then unloading from the memory stick into the Sony VAIO Picturebook and then importing them into....MJ 9.0! So every night I have a slideshow with music.
The best pictures, I think, are of the derelict wooden buildings I saw along the drive out here. Stopped 8 or 10 times and turned around to take pictures. Some lonely old critters out there on the plains.
Post by: JimH on August 13, 2002, 03:29:47 pm
Here are two pictures taken from more or less the same spot near the point where I turned around.
One is Long's Peak and the other is an alpine lake down below it.

i kind of thought you got a better camera, i can really see the pictures are allot cleaner.
i was playing with my sisters when i was on vacation, but i did not like the quality (it was a 1.6 megpix) sony.
you know there is a bridge there in C.O. that is like the highest bridge from the center to the ground, i forget the name of it. I flew over it one day.
Post by: JimH on August 14, 2002, 03:11:26 pm
It was sunny and perfectly clear, but blowing like hell. Gusts of 40 or 45. As I got closer to the top, the hikers coming down looked like they had seen the horror of the universe. They were talking 60mph at the keyhole, then 75, maybe 90. I expected to see hikers sailing by in the air.
One problem in hiking up there is that the weather can change quickly and can be very dangerous. They recommend starting at around 3:00 AM so you can be up to the summit and back down below timberline before the afternoon storms start. Lately there haven't been any storms, but the talk about lightening gets my attention.
Saw ptarmigans today. They look like rocks when they stop, big pidgeon size quail when they move. Also saw deer mice. They have faces and ears like mice, are about half the size of a small rabbit and seem oblivious to the hikers. They have a little bark that reminds me of the prairie dogs I saw in Nebraska last week.
Going home and going to bed now. Maybe tomorrow.
