Thanks for the recipe. I came late to the party and only read a few of
his posts.
But I am saving this one, keeping his name on it and will make in
honor of Him. It looks good.
RIP Lew

I recently tested a batch file that was written to wipe my disk clean. The
test was, unfortunately, a resounding success.

In his memory, I'm going to sprinkle some West Systems 406 filler in a nearby lake.

My Lew story.
I had installed some software and got it up and running. It was mentioned
on the rec. Lew installed it too, but he could not get it up and running
and emailed me for some advice. I had no idea. But I gamely made
suggestion after suggestion. Did you try this? Did you try that? About
suggestion 4 or 5, we hit it. It had something to do with a setting in the
software. He was jubilant and thanked me profusely.
He would send me little "thank you notes" of interesting and humorous
stories for awhile afterwards. When you did Lew a favor, he made sure you
knew that he appreciated it.
Rest in Peace Lew. I am sure that gas prices are very reasonable where you
are now. ;-)

I've been thinking about putting together a list of online sites that
should be notified if I get hit by a bus or something. It would be stored
with any kind of final arrangement documents (wills and the like).
I don't even know if my family could figure out how to post to Usenet, let
alone have any access to my computer systems.

The maintain part is what worries me. With the ways websites change (and
I've done it myself to prevent automated stuff), keeping the batch file
alive would be a constant task. It's probably more efficient to put
together a notification list and store it with other important documents
so then your loved ones can handle notifications.

Thanks for finding it. I was just thinking about doing the same search.
Will miss, Lew.
But, he's probably keeping tabs on gas prices wherever he is.

I use Roboform for my passwords and print a hard copy every so often to

Thanks for finding that, Ed. He had a pretty good run.
Pity he didn't live to see the gas prices crash though.

Yep, advertised that boat he was building on my website for a while,
with a link and photos he could use to point prospective buyers to.
Never was able to use up all that karma with him from that one little
bit of favor, despite a couple of set to's with him over his California
liberal ways ... :)
And his dedication to his Mom in her later years was notable. That right
there tells you the real measure of a man.

Ah, I suspected as much. I'd looked for an obit back around
December when he hadn't posted for a while.

Write a drop dead batch file.
Tell the family if you croak to turn on the computer and just hit
enter on that batch file, and include the deletion of things you don't
want nosy types to see, that might take things wrong.
Well, that explains why I haven't heard anything for a while.
A few years ago when I was going through a tough time with one of my folks Lew reached out to me personally and made it a point to keep in touch via email.
Crusty as he was sometimes, he had a really great side to him. We fell out of close touch when things got back on track, and I when I quit the rec for a while I lost track of him.
I remember him as a pretty good guy, a caring guy, and one that really liked his epoxy.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I liked Lew and appreciated the fact that he
too was a sailor here in this sea of landlubbers.

Thanks Edwin. Too bad, but it does happen to all of us at some point.

May he rest in Peace. My last email I received from him April,2015---The
ribs were great.
Subject: Some More Pig
From: Lew Hodgett
"Lew's Country Ribs"
Ingredients:
4-6 Lb, Country Ribs (Pork Shoulder Strips)
1-3/4 Cup, Soy Sauce
1 Cup, Dark Brown Sugar (Packed)
2 Tbl, Ground Cinnamon
Preparation:
Mix the Soy, Sugar and Cinnamon until all are incorporated to
provide a marinade.
Put meat and marinade in a gallon size plastic bag and seal.
Make sure there is enough marinade to cover all the meat.
Place in reefer, 24-36 hrs, turning every 12 hours.
Note:
Place plastic bag in a dish to form a retaining dike in case
the plastic bag leaks.
Remove meat from plastic bag and place on a rack, in an oven pan,
with fat side up, in a 400F oven for 20 minutes, then reduce
heat to 225F-250F for 45-60 minutes/pound of meat.
Retain excess marinade, pour in a 1 Qt (Small) pot and slowly
bring to a boil, then cool. (Do this carefully or you will caramelize
the sugar.)
Boiling kills all the bad bugs in case you are curious.
The sanatized marinade now becomes the dipping sauce.
Remove meat from oven and allow to rest for about 15-30 minutes.
Cross cut ribs into 1/2" thick medallions, discarding any bones and
unwanted fat in the process.
Place sanatized marinade in a serving cup in middle of serving platter.
Place medallions of meat around the rim of the serving platter.
Drizzle some marinade on medallions of meat.
Serve with toothpicks.
A WORD OF CAUTION
Get the hell out of the road before they run you over. <wink>
Enjoy
Lew

Lew was the first friend I met on this newsgroup. Both being engineers
from about the same time period, Lew and my dad shared a few things in
common. I know that Lew will not soon be forgotten here.
Peace,
Bill

Yes, it sounds like a lot of fun to maintain and test too. By the way a
batch file is almost by definition not an .exe.

Whatever you tell it to do, run other small programs like one that
opens your news reader, starts a new topic in each ng you want, write
a message, post it, quit. Goto another program, transfer all your
funds over to whoever's account, return, delete a list of files and so
on down the line.
Sometimes a drop dead file can be programmed to initialize with a
preprogrammed key stroke sequence to wipe a disk (hard disk) clean,
hackers used to do it as the feds broke into their apartments or
whatever.
It would take a little time to write, then compile to run as an *.exe,
but it is totally doable.
