Apoplectic fit. Someone said that Scotland
shouldn't be beholden to either Westminster
*or* the Presbyterian Kirk and he just keeled
over majestically, like a falling tree. I wrote a
stirring eulogy praising his tenacity and fitness
as an adversary, and defending his right to be
Utterly, Completely *Wrong* in Heaven, where
I presume he is giving God ulcers, even as we
speak. (MacP will be next: I just have to find
the right Trigger Phrase to cause him to burst
like an overinflated balloon...)

My mind was drawn back to s.c.s when I preparing a lecture on online
communities and read something about how Usenet was in decline due to
competition from all the new flashy social media sites now available
on the web. I thought I'd take a wander past s.c.s to see if things
were still happening and Ian O was the first person I thought of.

I only live a few miles away from where he did and, when I was a
regular here, I always intended to try and arrange to go for a beer
with him sometime. I wish I had.

On the positive side it's good to see that this place is still alive
and reasonably well, some of my other old Usenet haunts have nothing
but Spam and tumbleweed these days.

I think I'll stick around for a bit.

it's still at http://fizzypop.v.servelocity.net/ian/ His nephew's

I don't log into Google Groups; perhaps one of our posters who posts

I don't want any of the content of what were Ian's 'proper pages'.
My interest is purely in the 'easy SCSI' page (there was only ever
one page) which he set up to 'get at' me (all very friendly !)

I very much doubt if the original photographs were kept, even by
Ian. He only had that easy SCSI site up for a few months and the
photos were probably lifted off the web. By the same token,
I haven't kept all the photos that I used on my site several years
ago for 'joke' purposes.

I suspect it's the photo of Stephen Hamilton & Jim Woodard ?
(If so, it's also in the Gallery, so I've got that one)

Correct !

Good.

I'm looking for info on the missing photographs !!!

I think the one "The Duke and his niece (Hem-Hem)" was Elaine and
Moses. I'll dig out my zip disks and my external drives to see if I
saved them.

It was Moses and me at a Chinese restaurant in North Platte,
Nebraska. I was on my way back to Colorado from Iowa.

I'm sure it's here somewhere. Maybe this will be my inspiration to do
some spring housecleaning......................or not. :)

I no longer have any of my previous stuff online. It was uncanny, but
my trusty old WebTV (that I liked so much, and that had everything
saved) completely conked out on me right at the time of Ian's death.
As I inherited his brand new laptop, it seemed foolish to invest in a
whole new WebTV unit just for all my saved files, so I ended up
forfeiting all of it. After my last post this morning, I've tried
looking up some of Ian's saved stuff (he never threw out anything) and
I can't get into the 'Blue Yonder' things. The next time I come to
Scotland, I'll bring the laptop with me, and perhaps we can spend an
afternoon trying to access some of his files that I don't know how to
get into.

He was restricted as to where he could build the garage.
So - he built it over the spring.

I'm sure. We've a high water table here and I've been
known to drill down into for summertime watering my-
self, I'm just surprised having running water under a
(slab?) structure like a garage doesn't undermine the
foundation...I guess his slab must be "floating" better
than mine (which, I swear, is being slowly undermined
by a field ant colony.)

(I have to admit, I'm also a bit surprised he got the
permit to build over it...around here, once the village
engineers determine there's a natural spring...or any-
thing similar...on the property, permits have a way of
evaporating.)

The house was built in the 1950s - and I doubt the village knew of the
spring. He put in some sort of cap, and a connector for a hose.
The house (not the garage...) has a full-height finished basement, and I
don't recall it ever being damp.

Of course verbs can be nouned. They're called 'gerunds'. Most of

spring - Feder (tec.)

Road spring on a vehicle suspension
(Let's not talk about Federwasser or this
will become *extremely* confusing !)

I know 'Federwasser' only from Alfred J. Kwak, whaddayathink?

Oh, we had a bottle of it in the Rhine many years ago.
Didn't have the traditional Zwiebelkuchen to go with it though.

I see, you mean 'Federweißer':

What about . . .
A tiger will 'spring' onto its prey ??

This is a verb the others are nouns.

It 'can' be used as a noun.
'a light springing movement upwards or forwards'

Participle.

In linguistics, a participle ... is a derivative of a non-finite
verb, which can be used ... as a modifier. Participles often share
properties with other parts of speech, in particular adjectives

Hi, Lesley:

The entire thing was completely dead. Not just the remote keyboard,
for instance. I replaced those a few times. If there was a way, we
weren't aware of it. Anyway, it's too late now. I've e-mailed jjj
saying that when time permits, I hope to delve deeper into Ian's
files, but for the time being, I'm too busy. Still working multiple
jobs, babysitting, etc.

Except when he adopted his Lin Dores personna.

Dores was the best, funniest part of IOM.

Grizzel O'Twatt was pretty good, too.

Remember the 'Alternative scs Website' that he set up ?
Complete with "adult content" because mine was too tame.

I've changed computers - has anyone still got the URL of that?

Me too (changed computers), but I fired up my old laptop and
found I still had a 2005 copy of my website which had my response
page to Ian's launch of 'easy SCSI'.
It had a link (with URL) to Ian's page.

It might be findable on the Wayback Machine at Internet Archive

Which is here at : http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

That rings a bell. Your memory of the time is probably more reliable than
mine.
I think I had just returned from my somewhat-less-than-epic expedition to
the northernmost tip of Australia via about 1,000 miles of almost trackless
wilderness in our specially equipped Landcruiser.
The horrendously difficult 'driving' conditions and the remoteness of the
wilderness wasn't the problem - it was the PFD's near-constant shrieking and
screaming from the passenger seat that got to me in the end.
Yet more of her perrennial me, me, me, self-centredness once more. I mean it
was ME who had to try to keep the 'Cruiser on the windy dirt tracks at
100kph over the notorious 'corrugations' on the 'good' stretches. Then it
was ME who had to prevent the damn thing from rolling over or rearing back
over itself half a dozen times a day on the not-quite-so-good sections. All
SHE had to do was relax and enjoy the scenery.
I aborted the mission at about half-way IIRC.
The PFD eventually made it home about five weeks later.

He was a good photographer and did a lot of his
own developing (esp the B&W stuff).

It's hard to believe he died 2 1/2 years ago. Seems like only
yesterday.

No doubt that he was well-liked.
Except when he adopted his Lin Dores personna.
The Scottish Heretical Inquisition are coming !

I see in one of the messages that Ian's website has been preserved for
http://fizzypop.v.servelocity.net/ian/

Well done that lady !
I had lost that link but didn't realise that it was in one of those
posts.

I'm going to spend some time looking at it.

There should be some really nice photos on there.

It does.
I keep expecting to see a witty comment from him - then I realise that I
never will.

I've not visited this place for what must be almost ten years and it's
not changed a bit.
Mosly the same people, mostly having the same fights.
What's happened to Ian O?
And what's MacP calling himself these days?

It is indeed a time warp.
A haven for those of us who are advancing in years and wish the world would
slow down a bit.

Quite so.
You still don't know how to spell 'you're' for example.

I know how to do it. I just got tt wrong.

Good to see you've not changed either. Not in Scotland anymore I
understand.

Well, something had to change for the better, did it not ?

Nope - still adorable and as universally popular as ever.

You missed out the full stop. Thanks anyway.

But no - decided to do a bit of travelling while I can still walk without a
zimmer frame.
It was supposed to have been a ten year world tour and I had intended to be
in
Korea or China by now. However I took a wrong turn in New Zealand and ended
up in tropical far north Australia for the moment. Now it seems like a good
idea to stay
here for a year or two what with the impending end of civilisation as we
know it
in every other western country on the planet.
I was a property developer in a very minor way for a while but, what with my
keen eye for the future, I've recently become a slum landlord instead.

Also I'd really like to take this opportunity to say it's great to see you
back - but as
you might remember I'm a stickler for honesty.
