• We are off again

    From Dale Shipp@1:261/1466 to All on Wednesday, April 10, 2019 02:17:06
    Gail and I will leave early tomorrow (Wednesday) for a trip to Lancaster
    PA and will be returning late Saturday evening -- so you won't see me
    here until then.

    Hopefully, you might see Swisher unless the BBS acts up again as soon as
    we walk out the door.

    Nay! I be the knave. Besides...I made my living dealing with dead computers, why not start killing them now that I'm retired (I've got one now that suddenly
    decided to become a mute, network wise, after years of faithful service).

    It's why I like running Linux for the BBS; I can get in via ssh from pretty much anywhere including my Android phone (though I need my reading glasses).

    I have trained my parents on how to reboot the BBS though using the one-finger salute. :D

    I have 5 AMD/Intel PC's running openSUSE, only 4 are powered up now and I use ssh to get around on them, I have 5 Raspberry Pi 2B's running Raspbian, only 4 are powered up now and I use VNC to get around on them (but ssh will work also). I will admit to having wine running, or available, on 3 of the suse boxes. Likewise dosbox. A real Windows machine? I had one a few years ago, before I booted the DVD for...
    The Intel laptop, clam, has clammed up so it's dumb. I'm thinking of loading openSiUSE 15.1 (it's a beta but rumor has it they'll do a release next month) on it to see if that helps (it did on this computer, firmware upgrade was needed that the current release doesn't support). Clam's function in life is to run boinc and VLC (I have 15.1 running on this computer and know that those 2 packages do work).


    MOCK CLAM DIP
    For 1 or 2 cups dip you will need:

    1 c. sour cream
    1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese
    1 can (8 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained
    1 green pepper, finely diced
    1 green onion, minced
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/4 tsp. dry mustard
    3 drops hot pepper sauce
    1 tbsp. soy sauce
    1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
    Raw vegetables and crisp crackers for dipping

    Blend sour cream and cream cheese with mixer at low speed until smooth.

    Stir in corn, pepper, onion, salt, mustard, hot pepper sauce, soy and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight to blend flavors.

    To serve, surround with a variety of crisp vegetables such as celery sticks, zucchini slices, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, or very thinly sliced turnips. If desired, crackers or chips may be offered, too.

    No clams in this, but it tastes like it! This is an excellent choice for dipping raw vegetables, healthy and a courtesy to guests who are watching their
    diets.

    Preparation time: 10 minutes. Chilling time: 6 hours or overnight.
