Sunday, May 30th, 2010Oil production in WWII
Sunday, May 30th, 2010SEARCH ~ googled - Oil production in WWII -
One link there – “What Really Caused World War 2?“ - peaks my interest (with a slant towards “the truth” -/- “Honest-facts”) imho. I must research -/- read these topics for myself as “other peoples-opinion” are always coloured according to their version of the truth.
This domain “three world wars”, … I will revisit no-doubt – so I place a link HERE >>> http://threeworldwars.com/blog/about-the-authors <<< so that sometime SOON, … I do actually revisit.
ww2.htm QUOTED-HERE; – “When the German air force ran short of fuel, this was generously supplied from the great refinery belonging to the Standard Oil Company situated on the island of Aruba via Spanish tankers. This occurred during the war itself, yet these tankers were not sunk by American submarines.”
HENCE; – I like to read -/- cross reference and search some MORE, … (Wikipedia article – >>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_Campaign_of_World_War_II <<< seems a little sanitized in this regard)
~ caption-blah ~
CONTRAST-AGAINST-THIS; – Air University Review, July-August 1981 – ARTICLE TITLED – The Role of Synthetic Fuel
In World War II Germany ~ implications for today? ~ AUTHOR; Dr. Peter W. Becker
QUOTE; – As a highly developed industrial state, Germany was dependent even in peacetime on external sources for an adequate supply of oil. Even though Germany’s 1938 oil consumption of little more than 44 million barrels was considerably less than Great Britain’s 76 million barrels, Russia’s 183 million barrels, and the one billion barrels used by the United States, in wartime Germany’s needs for an adequate supply of liquid fuel would be absolutely essential for successful military operations on the ground and, even more so, in the air.1 For Germany, it was precisely the outbreak of the war in 1939 and the concurrent termination of overseas imports that most endangered its ability to conduct mobile warfare.
The YouTube video below has NOTHING to do with “Oil production in WWII” – I just wanted to include it HERE [FROM-URL] – (If I dont put it up NOW, … later-on might NOT happen)

Friday, May 28th, 2010Yesterdays dummy-spit had me using BT4 – However, making a “permanent-move” to a Linux-based Distro (Right-Now) is not really an option, as I have a lot of stuff to get through, … and I do NOT want to be spending TIME, researching software/tools/utilities etc.

Had to reset the password on the blog.

XXXX – X = OBSERVATION – WordPress-Interface is displaying the pTAG for (paragraph) – XXXX – Checking the blockquote tags work? – Answer = YES – which provides SOME control of the formatting

AFTER a forced interruption like THIS, it is difficult to resume WHERE I left off, I dont even feel like reading it now, … I am going for a walk!
BELOW: – The sequence of text “Vista-Related” -AND- saved into notepad, … that FORCED the “Change of OS to BT4″ – considering it is now 4pm – I am happy to get THIS far, and be able to complete this post

GRRRRR – 2:20pm Thursday 27 May 2010 -It really disrupts ANY “Workflow” that MIGHT have existed! – Rebooted, back into Knoppix, … That will teach it! – But I want to post-THIS into my GRD/blog, … once I boot into knoppix, … BACKUP – AND – Not the localREF-PATHinfo – *uc* – So I have Two copies – (Gotta be able to access one of them from Knoppix)

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010DROID Running Android 2.1 Update 1
QUOTE ~ YOU-TUBER; – motodroidlife — March 01, 2010 — http://www.droid-life.com – We flashed our phone with the Android 2.1 update 1 last night which is essentially the OTA update everyone is expecting for their Motorola DROID. This is not a custom or ported version of 2.1.
Part of keeping up to date – (Nice catchy phrase, from Australia Post Ad)
That phrase summaries what, how, and why, .. I post stuff here on my blog. There are a lot more rationalizations going through my head, but that is enough for now.
SEGWAYs – (into a number of other disjointed stuff that I want included somewhere, in this ONE post, / old-draft, DELETE -OR- POST? – here it is!)
Hoping the “App-Crash” problem (Related to Memory-Leaks? NO) – is GONE for good, and now (the day after UN-Installing Acrobat-Reader Ver8) that has been done, maybe I can ad stuff to this draft, (Forgotten what I was going to say, as this was started weeks ago) -STARTING NOW() – Monday 17 May 2010 – (Another NEW-START?) -[UPDATED - NOW() Tuesday 24 May - ReInstalled Acrobat-Reader Ver9.2, -AND- given permission for some "Adobe-update" to complete, .... ... what else can I say, ... The Browser is working as of right now, ... Ill click update, so I dont have to save this text-string into notepad]
AND; How do I work blippy.com into this post? – (I DONT) – I am going back to find another old draft started previously, … “Theme-Idea” = Advertising, and am I influenced?
http://blippy.com/ – Reference RN – Backgound Briefing; STORY = “The privacy paradox”QUOTE; – Stephen Colbert: Thankfully folks, just like us celebrities now ordinary people can publicise their lives in minute detail, thanks to social networking sites like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter. Unfortunately, sometimes I have to interrupt my Tweeting, Sexting, and Inbetwexting to buy or eat things, but now there’s a way to do it all. And it’s all thanks to Blippy.com, a revolutionary new site which lets you register your credit card online, then every purchase you make is automatically posted on Blippy. Wow! This is more exciting than going through old receipts. It’s going through new receipts!
DELETED; – Draft-Permalink – “http://grd.net.au/blog/?p=2730″
QUESTION; – What happens with the php-number?p=2730, AFTER deleting the draft attached to that number?
(I dont intend to anwser that question, … I just like asking?Thats the sort of thing that goes through my mind) – Draft?p=2730 was deleted – { Some oblek reference to iRobot-scene, “YOU, are having an accident” }
I know what I mean, … just nobody else can follow, … (me)
In relation to the Android 2.1 - There is an interesting article from Jason Hiner of TechRepublic detailing some recent (Last couple of years) -/- MAJOR changes in smart-phone abilities – LINK – >>> The rise of the computer phone <<<
