Just an old geek. Learned about computers on a CARDIAC (CARDboard Illustrative Aid to Computation). Then the math teacher at HS got an old Navy surplus computer with drum memory. It had a high speed optical paper tape reader. From there it was BASIC, Cobol, FORTRAN, CMS-2Y, Jovial, Ada. Did some Java and C but never got that good. In retirement learning Rust.

Note: the main picture is from the B-24 my father was co-pilot on in the South Pacific

They were men who felt that The Time Had Come. Regimes can survive barbarian hordes, crazed terrorists and hooded secret societies, but they're in real trouble when prosperous and anonymous men sit around a big table and think thoughts like that. (Feet of Clay)

No Kings in the City of Angels. #NoKings

You know that thing humans do where they think they’re being completely logical and they absolutely are not being logical at all, and on some level they know that, but can’t stop? Apparently it can happen to SecUnits, too.

I know there's a lot of stupid shit going on right now, but I feel like we all just blew past the fact that the Trump administration just registered onlyfarms dot gov, which is stupid enough that it deserves a lot more ridicule than it is getting.
