DAILY JOURNAL 3.0: THE BASIN NEEDS A LITTLE HELP!

Really Big scare as I could not find, rather the Daily Journal would not show any entries. After hour got to work by moving the file.copy I mean. to the R drive and here it is. years and years of working . .I cannot lose this . I need to backup on another computer and to the back up drives

R:\DJWINBCK.001 Location on Vista (did nor hwlp, said the ext ??? drive not ready)

About 1000 years ago, I bought a wonderful little journaling program from Parsons technology called "Daily Journal 2.0." I think it was designed for windows 3.1. DJ was basically a personal and professional diary system in an easy to organize and totally searchable format. Like so many other Parsons products, it was slick, not a memory hog and quite inexpensive. I used it for years. In 1998 or 99 Parsons, which was now Broderbund, put out an updated version labeled, logically enough, Daily Journal 3.0. It did everything that 2.0 did and had some prettier graphics. I still use it and it still works great.

Here is the rub: it does not work with Windows 7. It does not work in the 64-bit environment. You cannot "force- install it". You cannot "virtual session" it. And you cannot run it with DOS commands. Since all of my machines will soon be in Windows 7, 64-bit, I need a successor or comparable program, preferably one that will accommodate the 15 years or so of entries that I have in the Daily Journal proprietary document format.

Parsons is no help. Parsons it became Broderbund, became Mattell, became Broderbund again and then became Broderbund Lite (under new ownership). I'm not even sure they actually develop software anymore (cool stuff never stays the same.) I have trolled CNet and ZDNet, Kim Komando and a couple of European sites. I tried one Journal program that was, at best, crude. So my current situation is that I am on the cusp of having no useful journaling program and nothing that can print and read my previous 15 years of journaling data.

My help request is essentially in two parts: first, can you point me to a good, topically indexed journaling program? And; can you point me to a journaling program (whether really good or not) that will allow me to print, access and/or search my existing Daily Journal 3.0 proprietary journal data? If you would rather provide the assistance privately by e-mail is rule5draft@gmail.com.

This process is like putting one's old, trusty dog down. It is not easy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

20120117 from How to Create a Distribution (email List) from an email with addresses already typed20071231

Don, I can't believe you did all of this and at 2:38 AM. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I have been taken up with Stephanie and the baby and didn't even see the message until late this afternoon when we were about to go back to the hospital I also hate to tell you that I do have Outlook Express. Don't do more though until I have time to ask somebody else if they have it and can tell me what to do. X . . . is doing well. The baby is beautiful. We have held him and looked at his every move for hours. I'll work on this tomorrow and let you know what happens.Thanks again

Subject: How to Create a Distribution (email List) from an email with addresses already typed

I have figured out how to do it and it works fine. It just takes some study but then it should be ok.

Glad you are using Road Runner/cable as that is as fast as you can get at home. I use it and also use Mindspring which Cal uses so I am familiar with both, even though my address appears to be xxxx.(I am not familiar with AOL, however.)

What we need to do is to create a mailing list (Outlook calls it a distribution List) of all the email addresses Janie has in the email you have from her, Then when you send a new email to the class, you just type in the name of the distribution list in the "to" place in the email and all the addresses will be there . You can name the distribution list anything you want of course. After you learn how to do that, you will need to be able to make changes or corrections in the list.

I have attached instructions on how to do this (how to make the distribution List and how to make changes in individual addresses) at the link below. The text you get at the link is what you can get by searching the Help link in Outlook using "distribution."

I suggest you create a test Distribution list first with your own name on it and Cal's and test it. When that works then try the email from Janie. There is a lot more I could say now but I think the best thing to do is use the "help" instructions in the programs. As I say, I have some of them linked below for you.

Play with this a while and let me know if I can help explain it if you have questions. I have learned a lot about Outlook since you called and it is ok.

Now, if you are using something called "Outlook Express" I think we have to start over as it is not the same as "Outlook" That will be ok with me so don't worry if you do have the "Express" version.

Let me know what you want me to do next. I am so glad you are working on this. Thank you..

Good Luck

Let me know asap if the following link does not work. There are 5 or 6 pages here so give it time to open. You can get clearer text using Outlook Help.

20120117 how to use FileZilla

Quick Guide

http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Using#Quick_Guide

This guide gives you a short overview on how to use FileZilla client. By default you don't have to configure FileZilla, so you can start directly working with the program.

Connecting to an FTP server

Using the Quick Connect bar

To connect to an FTP server, enter the address of the server into the host field of the Quickconnect bar (e.g. example.com - see image below). If it is a special server type like an SFTP server, add the protocol in front of the address. In case of an SFTP server, start the address with 'sftp://' (e.g. sftp://example.com). Enter the port of the server into the port field if it is not the default port (21 for FTP, 22 for SFTP). If a username / password is required, enter it in the corresponding fields, otherwise the default anonymous logon will be used. Click on Quickconnect or press Enter to connect to the server.

Please notice that the Quick Connect is for... quick connections - so there is no way to edit the quick connections list which stores the last 10 entries. To store FTP server names you should use the Site Manager, instead.
Quick Connect is good for testing the login info before making a site manager entry. Once you connect, you can choose File -> "Copy current connection to Site Manager..." to make a permanent entry. It is usually best to check your login info with Quick Connect before making a permanent entry.

Using Site Manager

You can use the FileZilla Site Manager to specify specific site parameters and connect to the targeted FTP site. The Site Manager allows you to store entries and configure more parameters than the Quick Connect allows.

Special case: Servers in LAN

If the server you are connecting to is in your home LAN, then there is not an address (domain name) as you may know from the Internet. In LAN, you simply use the internal IP address of the server PC. In most cases the network name (computer name) will do, too. If the server is on the same PC as Filezilla, you can even use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as hostname.
NOTE: If you connect from the outside of your LAN this does not apply, you have to use the external (WAN) IP instead.

Navigating on the server

After a successful connection attempt, a list of files and directories appears on the right side of the main window. The name of the current remote directory is listed in the edit field on the top. Below that you will see the remote directory tree. Under the remote directory is a list of the contents of the current remote directory.
To change the current remote directory:

Type a directory name into the edit field and press enter, or
Click a directory in the directory tree, or
Double-click a directory in the list of the current directory contents

You will notice a directory called ".." listed in virtually all directories. Selecting this directory allows you to go up to the parent directory of the current directory.
Question marks ("?") appear on directories you haven't accessed yet, indicating that the FileZilla Client can't tell if there are subdirectories within those directories. If you access the directory the question mark will vanish.

Navigating on your machine

Navigating on your machine works almost like navigating on the server. The current local directory and the local directory tree are displayed on the left side of the main window by default.

Synchronized Browsing

If you have an identical directory structure on the local machine and the server, you can enable synchronized browsing. This means that any directory navigation on one machine is duplicated on the other.
To enable synchronized browsing, create an entry in the Site Manager, and on the Advanced tab, ensure that the Default local directory and the Default remote directory have the same structure. Then check "use synchronized browsing," save your settings, and connect.

Directory Comparison

To quickly see differences between files on the local machine and the server, choose View > Directory Comparison, and choose either "compare file size" or "compare modification time." (You also hide identical files by checking that option.) Then choose "Enable."
You will now see color-coded differences between copies of the same file on the different machines. See their meanings here.

Transferring files

You can upload or download a file by double-clicking on it. It will be added to the transfer queue and the transfer starts automatically. To transfer directories and/or multiple files, select them and right-click the selection. Then you can click on Upload/Download in the popup menu.

You can also drag the files from one side and drop them on the other side. To add files to the queue so that they will be transferred later, select them and click Add to Queue from the popup menu. You may also drag the files directly into the queue. Click on the

button on the toolbar to start the transfer.
Or, you can click on a file, then drag the file (a box is added to the arrow cursor) to the directory where you want to move it. The directory will be highlighted when you are over it. Let go of the mouse button and the file will be moved to the directory.

Detailed Information Pages

Detailed information on other aspects of the FileZilla client can be found on the following pages:

File Transfer Notes

FileZilla uses multiple FTP sessions. One session gets used purely to browse the server. The other sessions get used to do the file transfers. That way, you can always browse the server even during transfers.
For example, here is a simple car analogy: You order a pizza using your telephone (aka the browsing connection), then you hang up the telephone. Then the delivery man drives the pizza in his car to your location (the transfer connection). While the pizza is transferring, you can phone somebody else, like for example your garage because your own car is broken ;)

Reducing simultaneous connections for incorrectly configured servers

If you get a 421 Too many connections from this IP () error, the FTP server is restricting your number of connections. There are even servers restricting it to one connection at a time.
The preferred solution would be to contact the server administrator and encourage him/her to configure the server correctly (FTP uses more than one connection by design!). But if you need access immediately, there is a workaround:
1. Open the Site Manager (File - Site Manager... or the first toolbar button)
2. Create an entry for that server, enter all details you know, the more precise, the better
3. Open the 'Transfer Settings' tab
4. Tick the 'Limit number of simultaneous connections' checkbox
5. Enter the desired limit into the 'Maximum number of connections' field

Now, if you connect using the Site Manager entry, connections will be limited.
Note: If you limit connections to 1 only, there is a major drawback: You cannot browse the server anymore while a transfer is in progress!

Troubleshooting

Re-registering the shell extension (Windows only)

Especially on Vista or Windows 7 it can happen that Drag&Drop fails and you get an error message stating the shell extension doesn't work. In this case you may need to re-register it. Here's how:

1. Open a command prompt as administrator. This is important!
Start Menu - All Programs - Accessories: Right Click 'Command Prompt', select 'Run as administrator'

2. Navigate to the Filezilla program directory.
Example (32bit): cd "\Program Files\Filezilla FTP Client"
Example (64bit): cd "\Program Files (x86)\FileZilla FTP Client"
3. Re-register the shell extension.
Type 'regsvr32 fzshellext.dll' (without quotes of course)

4. If you have 64bit OS, you need to perform an additional step.
Type 'regsvr32 fzshellext_64.dll' (no quotes as well)

If you get the reply 'DllRegisterServer in ... succeeded.', you've done it (though you probably still need to reboot your computer).
