Shelby, Riley and John

I've created Rotating Image shows for all three of my Galleries.


Here are the Individual Album shows within General Gallery

I've also made some major tweaks. After a Gallery or Album Rotate Show runs for 10 seconds it will drop down into the main program at the appropriate spot. A browser back function returns to the Blog, which puts a wrap to:

OMJShow

Tip: Drop into OMJShow and set your slide interval. (2 seconds is good...)

I was walking back from Publixs with three big bags of groceries when my text beeper went off. So I stopped in the shade and saw these two on my phone from Riley. Made my day!

Walked down to the Market and got my tamale fix on. It's a beautiful Saturday here in Pensacola and the place was jammed, so I sat on the curb and ate them in the street. Day six clean and sober, my liver's better and the walking does it good.

I just created a fun little program that takes all of the 732 thumbnails in my Flickr gallery and rotates them around the screen. It's amazing on a desktop at 1/10 of a second transition, and cool on a phone, which lacks the processing power to achieve that speed, but still fun.

Update: I slowed the above show down to a half second rotation, and created a new program that deals with all images within an album, also at a half second

Floppy disks are in the news lately, as they're still being used by Air Traffic Control systems today. I laugh as news reporters state that most people don't even know what they are.

Then they hold up a 3½-inch floppy to the camera, and I have to laugh again. Those little hard plastic disks with a sliding metal shutter were invented in 1981 by Sony, took a while to get popular, and lasted into the early nineties.

But the original floppy was an 8-inch black thing, introduced in 1971 just as I entered the IBM Sys 3 business in the Bay Area. They stuck around until 1976 as the 5¼-inch floppy disk hit the market. In fact, my early software was distributed on the 5¼'s in the early eighties.

Here's some from a 1985 product:

I may have saved myself in time. The pain in my liver is declining a little bit each day, as I walk a lot, watch my diet and take this milk thistle liver detox.

I've been told that if I just wanted to be high and have some alcohol to take off the edge, that’d be totally fine. I wish, but I have to face reality. It's killing me and I'm not ready to die.

I no longer have the ability to drink even a bit, and I'm fed up with using weed as an alternative. It is what it is. You don't even have to wish me well, I have no option anymore.

I spent the afternoon with Zinny and Poppy today. We took a walk around the block, took a nap on my bed, and then headed to the Dollar Store for treats. That was our longest walk yet and they loved it.

I wasn't sure if the store would allow them in but the lady just smiled and waved us on. They had a blast as we headed to the dog section where I bought them some treats.

When Shelby pulled up we were on the front porch chair. I was buried in TikTok and the two were next to me as I alternated head strokes, and we didn't even see her until she made it to the porch.

Here they were in the Cave with me earlier, playing lap dogs.

I walked out the door yesterday around noon, and I was at a crossroads. Head one direction and buy some booze, or head the other way and buy supplies at Publix.

My liver was hurting me bad. Quite frankly I don't even know why it's still there, since I started drinking sixty three years ago. So I went to the grocery store.

This morning I bought a milk thistle liver detox at Walgreens for the same price as a bottle. I need to cure myself or I will die.

I don't need any lectures, I don't need weed as an alternative, I just need to make a decision if I want to live.

Parkinsons is vibrating through my body, my liver hurts, and I'm in a bad-ass pissed off at myself mood. I'm really tired of being looked at as the sad old pathetic drunk.

The only way to fix that, is to stop being that. So I'm wiping out every contact on my phone, with a couple of exceptions. I'm going to focus on myself and get my health back, stay alive until I can't.

My sister and her family in Idaho have bailed on me. It goes both ways, I will never contact any of them again. The same goes for everyone in my past. If any number comes across my phone without a name attached, I'm treating it as spam.
