DOS Layout Settings

I think the fact that the DOS prompt is not resizable is a limitation.



For a 19" Dell LCD, the best settings that i’ve found are:




  • Screen Buffer Size: Width: 155


  • Height: 9999


  • Window Size: Width: 155


  • Height: 66

These seem to work well.

Columbus Day Shirt Fiasco

My mother’s company, Azusa Publishing, creates these T-Shirts…it’s stirred up a bit of controversey.

Shirt Happens, After Columbus Day



The Colorado History Museum has put these Homeland Security tees on ice until the Columbus Day contention cools down.



Published: October 4, 2007



he $17.99 T-shirt features a historic photo depicting a well-armed Geronimo and a few friends above this slogan: “Homeland Security: Fighting terrorism since 1492.” It’s available at the Colorado History Museum gift shop — but only if you ask for it specifically, since the clerks are keeping the shirts in a back storage room until after Columbus Day.



Welcome to Colorado, where Columbus is both loved and hated and Columbus Day has become a flash point between proud Italian-Americans, who typically celebrate their Nina-skippering paisan with a parade and other festivities, and protesting Native Americans, who see the explorer as an oppressor and a symbol of a skewed history that credits Columbus with “discovering” America in 1492 while ignoring Native Americans. Colorado was the first state to honor Columbus with a holiday, exactly one hundred years ago, and both sides have promised plenty of fireworks at this year’s Columbus Day Parade on October 6 (for more details, see Follow That Story).



The Colorado Historical Society, which runs the museum, is well known for its exhibits documenting Native American history, and right now it’s honoring the state’s rich Italian heritage, as well, with The Italians of Denver, a show that runs until next July. But while the two cultures exist relatively peacefully inside the museum’s walls, the “Homeland Security” T-shirt has raised a few eyebrows, admits CHS spokeswoman Rebecca Laurie. “Wed get a couple of phone calls and letters about it,” she says.



And so the shirt is being kept under wraps, at least through Columbus Day. After that, the CHS will have a little pow-wow with the private concessionaire running the shop and decide whether Geronimo gets the heave-ho.

Government Do-Not-Call List

I just registered on the government’s do not call website.

Once you have registered, your phone number registration will be effective for 5 years. It will be illegal for most telemarketers to call you, and you will be able to file a complaint if a telemarketer does call you. The website www.donotcall.gov provides information about filing a complaint.

Might be a good idea to register you home and cell numbers…[…]
