Christmas came early today! Customer's car broke down before he could get it home (it was on my way) so I gave him a ride. As I pulled in the driveway, what to my wondering eyes should appear? A tall object covered in a tarp but I saw a tailgate with the familiar JEEP emblazoned on it, so I asked him about it. "It's an old '64 J300 Camper that the roof went bad on a long time ago. I put a new/used Buick 350 in it with the 4 speed, but they never got the shifter right on the low/high range and I never drove it more than 400 miles. Know anyone who wants it?" "Yeah!" I said, "Me of course! Don't you see my J4000 in front of the shop now and then?" "That's yours?" he replied. "I was surprised to see another one in this city! If you want it. it's yours! Merry Christmas!" I'll be picking it up on tuesday after work! I only hope it's not green. What I could see of it in my headlights was a D60 closed knuckle front, and D70 rear with duals (2 flats, but who cares?). I can hardly wait to get it home! It'll probably need some work to get it running again (and spare parts. I think it may be on an M715 chassis. It looks like a 10' floor length and THAT will become my tow truck! And people say I'm crazy to help others! (besides the fact that it's the way I was brought up!) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Dec 2004 23:03:49 -0800 (PST) From: john Subject: fsj: Re: Article you're right... what happened is you created these files on a PC. while editing the files I noticed the extra schmuck that Microsoft adds to "plain" files and removed it using a simple filter... the problem is your text had additional Microsoft shclmuck (I'm making this up as I go, how'm I doin'? :) Anyway, there were two "~E" special characters embedded... when I cleared the "^M" (carriage return / line feed) from the file it behaved poorly with the tilde E... basically everything after that was filtered clean out... it took two edits to find it and clear it out... Now your file is clean, whole, pure and living quite happily with the penguins... :) fwiw, the Linux commands used were: mv jeeparticle.zip web/FSJ/rigs/Terry-Halmshaw-AU-article/ mkdir tmp mv *.zip tmp unzip tmp cat article.htm | col -b > index.html mv *.jpg .. mv index.html .. of course then I had to unzip the file, examine the article.htm again, and began removing the evil microsoft characters by hand... ok, so they don't do anything except look bad when you edit the files... but it did shave off a couple of hundred bytes off the file size... and when you have many thousands of files on your server... well, that makes a big difference... :) Hey, are you going to the beach for your Christmas Holiday? Remember, the reason for the season is Jesus. :) If he hadn't come we'd have no hope whatsoever... :) thanx again for sharing this article, nicely done... btw, I made a few copies of some of the mags I mentioned, will get them in the mail in the next few days. :) ttyl, john On Fri, 24 Dec 2004, Terry Halmshaw wrote: >-->Drop to the bottom and click the html file,it will inflate and you will >-->see that it is only about half there. >-->At 11:58 AM 24/12/2004, you wrote: >--> >-->>what's missing???? >-->> >-->>john >-->> >-->>On Fri, 24 Dec 2004, Terry Halmshaw wrote: >-->> >-->> >-->John the complete article is not there mate :( >-->> >-->At 11:34 AM 24/12/2004, you wrote: >-->> >-->>terry, >-->> >-->>done. :) >-->> >-->>thanx >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->>http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/rigs/Terry-Halmshaw-AU-article/ >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->>On Fri, 24 Dec 2004, Terry Halmshaw wrote: >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->At 05:54 AM 24/12/2004, you wrote: >-->> >-->> >-->>I just set it up and viewed it... nice... would it be ok to >-->> >-->> >-->>put this on wagoneers.com ? >-->> >-->> >--> >-->> >-->> >-->Of course mate. >-->> >-->> >--> >-->> >-->> >-->>john >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->>On Thu, 23 Dec 2004, Terry Halmshaw wrote: >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->Here is the article pretty much how it appeared in the >-->> magazinze. >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->I can also scan it if you like :) >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->> ---- >-->> >-->> >-->> >-->>--------------------------------------------------------------------- >-->> ---- >-->> >-->> ** http://wagoneers.com ** ** http://freegift.net ** >-->> >-->> Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold. >-->> >-->>--------------------------------------------------------------------- >-->> ---- >-->> >--> >-->> >-->> ---- >-->> >-->>------------------------------------------------------------------------- >-->> ** http://wagoneers.com ** ** http://freegift.net ** >-->> Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold. >-->>------------------------------------------------------------------------- >--> ---- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://wagoneers.com ** ** http://freegift.net ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Dec 2004 05:43:08 -0800 (PST) From: elliott sydnam Subject: Re: fsj: Re: Article Great article Terry!
