This will serve as the last will and testament of the human known as Randolph Carter, myself. I prefer Randy Carter, or at least I did, until all of this came whipping into my life. Now I have a new name, which I have no way of writing or pronouncing. How is it possible that[...]
The Thing From The Outside was hiding in my laptop, waiting to jump out and possess me again. I was sure It was waiting for me to look at the camera. I couldn’t understand why It kept attacking me, of all people, but it did, Now I know that the reason It wanted me was[...]
I hate therefore I am, I’ve learned that selflessness’s a scam, It’s taught to make us slaves, then send us to our early graves, I live my life for me, the only way to win I see, I take now what I want, I flex my mind my power taunts, The weaklings all around, but[...]
Welcome Home, Randy Carter This will serve as the last will and testament of the human known as Randolph Carter, myself. I prefer Randy Carter, or at least I did, until all of this came whipping into my life. Now I have a new name, which I have no way of writing or pronouncing. How[...]
The document that you’re about to read, the Saga of the Errth, is translated from the original text into the language you’re reading now. Where it comes from, and who wrote it are a mystery to me, the translator. Please understand that the language of the author was different from this one, and as such,[...]
Report to the High Chancellor from his Majesty the High Priest of the Salvation of the Unfortunates Sir, As I reported to you some time ago, the efforts aimed at getting the people of the third planet of Star System Solarius Solace, known to the residents as Earth, to reverse the steady decline which has[...]
This blog post is a writing exercise from writers.stackexchange.com. Visit the Writers chat room every Tuesday for new writing exercises. This week, we wrote microfiction during the chat session. 10 minutes later, I produced this. I found it made me mentally more limber and better prepared to write some more code. It actually made for[...]
I like to believe a priori that in every oppressive situation there exists a way to apply pressure which completely redirects it and ends up resulting in a positive outcome, hopefully for everyone involved. IS it really true? Obviously I can’t know that, but, I think so. I’ve decided to make the effort to change[...]
I changed the wings around, I like these better. I am using this for my background image on my desktop!
This is supposed to be a hopeful message …. Through the Cross, we Conquor, accompanied by the image of a futuristic city. We’re going to make it, in spite of the religious extremists!
“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” – Isaac Asimov This article on Snopes makes me shudder. I think that there should be a law prohibiting an educator from poisoning[...]
I’m about to embark on a journey into TDD … wish me luck! I’ll write an article about it later.
Apparently, there is a name for my specific memory condition. It’s called “retentive memory”. For awhile I thought I had another memory condition, but after further research retentive memory describes my recollection ability perfectly. I think it’s super cool that there’s a name for it, that seems to have validated the fact that I have[...]
I am in the process of switching my application from using hardcoded strings for connections and queue names to using the CloudConfigurationManger. You’d think that this should be a pretty simple task, right? string foo = “connectionstring”; to string foo = CloudConfigManager.GetSetting(“connectionstring”); is all you’d think should be needed, or at least that’s what I’d[...]
I have all of the articles I wanted to port done! Whew! Now I need to get my art posted.
“I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” ~ Albert Einstein. This is something that people forget when we talk about military force. If any country or person uses weapons of mass destruction like the US used against Japan ever[...]
