6ixStringJack: Yeah. You can just copy your files directly to the thumbdrive for now, just to make sure that they're backed up. If you get more comfortable with files and folders down the road, you can make folders to organize stuff. Like you can have your book and all your book notes in one folder, and any pictures from your emails in a separate folder just so everything doesn't get all jumbled up on you. Good stuff to know if you end up having a lot of files. But for right now, you should just plug that baby in and copy over your book to start just so you know it's safe.  |
| Brenda: Little white lie. I looked at the link and wrote down the title of it and I will get things backed now that I know how. Sorry for that. |
| 6ixStringJack: Hey Ted... BTW... Trump's Approval/Disapproval spread is now at least 3 points better than Biden's in his only term on this day, and both Obama and GWB's in their 2nd terms on this day in the aggregate. I figured I'd leave you with that little update in case it's the last thing you ever hear from me. |
| 6ixStringJack: You did it! You were able to back up your stuff on the drive too??? |
| Brenda: Thanks for the link again SIX. Got it all straight. Also thanks for the help. |
| 6ixStringJack: Shut the fuck up, Ted. |
| THG: Stop, give Haken a chance to fix the site. |
| 6ixStringJack: Oh... to Bookmark it, you need to open it in a new tab or window and hold CTRL and press D with it in the current tab/window. If you hold CTRL D here, you will bookmark fireflyfans instead. |
| 6ixStringJack: Here it is again so it doesn't age off: [go to link] You can bookmark it in your browser by holding down the CTRL button to the left of the spacebar and press D. Or you can right click the link, select "Copy Link" from the pop-up menu and then paste the link into a word document by either pressing and holding CTRL and pressing V, or by right clicking the mouse anywhere and selecting "Paste" from the menu that appears. |
| Brenda: No, I didn't get to the link too day. Haven't played morning mah jong in a while then I had to tromp down to cardiologist's office to make appointment for stress test. Fell a sleep too in chair. And I'm not sure about saving links. |
| 6ixStringJack: Hey Brenda. Did you copy that link and/or take a look at it yet? Let me know if you do and you have a hard time with it or not. I don't ever want to see happen to your book what might be happening to our site here right now. |
| 6ixStringJack: Maybe you should set up a Wix website, Ted. I'd consider doing it myself, but I wouldn't expect either you or Second to trust me. The site makes it easy to create a new website pretty quickly. It wouldn't be the same, and we wouldn't need all of these categories, but it might be the only way we get to keep arguing with our little group instead of out there in the void of modern social media where nobody listens to anything you post even to argue with you and the only replies and likes you ever get are from Nigerian catfish scammers.
Wix: [go to link]/ |
| THG: Stop, give Haken a chance to fix the site. |
| second: Stephen Miller says "nobody is going to fight the United States militarily over Greenland" one day after posting that Western nations should not have given up empires after WWII. [go to link] |
| THG: Give it a rest folks |
| THG: HAKEN: Hi All. I'm not sure what's wrong with the message boards because it just stopped working. To make matters worse, it'll take me a while to figure out why because I wrote the code over 25 years ago and EVERYTHING is way past end of life, including the development environment and the framework that the site was developed with. I don't have a way to debug things right now and even if I could, I'm not sure I can build a running version that'll work the same. Anyway, give me a bit of time to figure things out and then decide where we can go from there. |
| Brenda: Hi Six. I will take a look at the link tomorrow if the site is still around. I got all your messages. I hope this isn't the end. Site was gone for me a while ago and just came back. If it is the end. So long. |
| second: Wondering who Trump kills next? Trump proposes massive increase in 2027 defense spending to $1500 billion, citing “troubled and dangerous times.” The 2026 military budget is set at $901 billion. “This will allow us to build the ‘Dream Military’ that we have long been entitled to and, more importantly, that will keep us SAFE and SECURE, regardless of foe,” Trump said in a posting on Truth Social announcing his proposal.

| 6ixStringJack: Site was totally gone there for a minute. I hope you saw those messages and save that link, Brenda. If we don't survive here, it's been nice knowing everyone. Happy Trails... |
| 6ixStringJack: You can disregard the steps 2 through 4 in the first part on identifying the type of USB port that it is. You know where you need to plug it in, and you don't have USB C or need to worry about any adapters. If you get stuck on any part, just let me know. |
