On the term “master” in software

The far left has decided that the term “master” when used to software is a micro-aggression against the Black Community that harkens back to the days of slavery. Short of being am immigrant from a country that still supports slavery, there is no one alive that has been a slave. At least not in terms … 

 

GDPR can kiss my shiny metal arse

So you’re from the EU, and they say you have a right to be forgotten. They also say I have to notify you how I use the data I collect on you. Well, this is my server, my data, and I have a right to remember you, I also have a right to whatever data … 

 

Electoral College 2.0.0

I work in the technology industry, specifically writing and consuming code, that is more often than following SemVer. As such, my perspective is that blowing up the Electoral College is basically the beginning of the end for the USA. I don’t want to see that. So I am going to propose an alternate solution, something I’ve … 

 

Ad blocking is not theft

Theft is the ad blockers taking my bandwidth WITHOUT my consent! If they asked me for ads, I wouldn’t accept them anyway. That’s not what marketing firms want to hear, so what do they do? They try to start a war on ad blockers and making you the public think that it is their God …

HS reunion

Re-post from my MySpace blog Time flies when you don’t count it, it’s been 10 yrs already! I’ll be back on Kauai for a couple of days for the reunion. Couldn’t really find much else to do so I didn’t stay longer.

 

Beating everyone to the punch

Re-post from my MySpace blog Myspace offers a profile editor now. Well it is in Beta anyway. Needless to say it only runs on IE, thanks! (sarcasm = I don’t even have IE on my computer). Okay on to the nitty gritty: The following is the link to the data. http://profileedit.myspace.com/Modules/Common/Handlers/UserStyle.ashx Adblock doesn’t work because … 

 

whatever

Originally when I made this log of my thoughts it was designed to be used as a way for me to get some of the data the computer lab at FSU so that I could print. If my Canon i80 wasn’t out of ink then the print head was screwed up, and I haven’t tried … 

 

Vacation and misc

Re-post from my MySpace blog Ok. I am late in posting this, really late, in fact. I already went on vacation. I was in Honolulu for a couple days for my brothers graduation. Then I went to Kauai for 2 days. I did learn one very important thing though by visiting Kauai. I don’t belong …
