On 9 July 2007, I was contacted by Stephen M. Hunt of the U.K. regarding his new Napoleonic musical entitled The Person Residing at Longwood. Based on the sample music alone, I'm impressed! According to his Casting/Production page, Mr. Hunt states that the production has vacancies for singers, dancers, set designer, publicist, producer(s), and director. The first full production is anticipated to be in mid to late 2008. On 21 November 2007, I received an e-mail from Mr. Hunt informing me that he is in need of someone to translate his musical's script into French to facilitate productions in France and French speaking areas. The usual royalties will be paid. If you are a qualified translator, or believe that you have the ability to do this, and would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please contact Mr. Hunt directly at StephenHunt@aol.com. UPDATE AS OF 22 NOVEMBER 2007 Some of the show's music has been played on Radio St Helena, a CD of
excerpts will be on sale on St. Helena in two weeks, distributed by the
island's leading commercial firm, Solomon & Co. Information about buying
a cd is on our web site www.napoleonmusical.webeden.co.uk.

Back in December 2006, a virus got past my Norton Antivirus protection and messed my computer up so badly that I had to reformat the hard drive. As a result of doing this, I am able to pass along some good advice for those of you who use Microsoft Outlook (that is, the regular Outlook, such as Outlook 2003, that you have to purchase separately, not Outlook Express, which comes bundled in Windows). In Outlook, all of your e-mail folders, e-mails, and e-mail settings are contained in a file named outlook.pst. For some reason, Microsoft has seen fit to hide this file very deeply in the directory tree. It is also unable to be found using Windows' File Search function. You should know where your outlook.pst file is so that you can restore it if you have a computer catastrophy. Outlook gives you an export facility that you can utilize to periodically save this file to a special directory (of your own choosing) on your hard drive, or to a CD, DVD or floppy disk. However, I wouldn't try to save it to a floppy because the size of the outlook.pst is 761 Kb before you even begin to use Outlook. The size of mine was more than 15 Mb, which means it could only have been copied to a CD, DVD or an external hard drive. Unfortunately, one of the things that happened to my computer was that all of my CD and DVD drivers got corrupted and were therefore useless. Fortunately, I had had the foresight to purchase an external backup hard drive in the past and regularly backed up my C: drive. However, finding the elusive outlook.pst file proved to be very difficult and it took me 4 days! Following is the path to it on your C: drive: C:\Documents & Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.pst. ONE MORE THING, outlook.pst is a Hidden File within a Hidden Folder! In order to see it so that you can find it you have to tell Windows Explorer to make your hidden files and folders visible. Do this by opening Windows Explorer, then selecting Tools, Folder Options, View, Show hidden files and folders. But this isn't why you visited my site today. You're probably here to continue where you left in chapter 5 of the Campaign of the Western Pyrenees.
