It's good to know that amid the endlessly shifting sands of the internet, some things stand fast, unchanging and impassive.

Two posts, one of them "I got fired" and the other about J++. Now there's a forgotten little corner of the Intarwebs if ever there was one. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

Maybe he's forgotten he owns that website.

Job opportunity
From the "About Us" page: He recently began the design of several specialized products to handle the infamous "Year 2000" problems lurking in many systems. http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2014/07/military_draft_notices_sent_to.html Selective Service System mistakenly sent notices to more than 14,000 Pennsylvania men born between 1893 and 1897, ordering them to register for the nation's military draft because... The federal agency didn't know it because the state uses a two-digit code to indicate year of birth. *boggle* (On second thought, maybe that was his handiwork to begin with...) |

Whoops.

He runs a little ISP in Laramie, Wyoming
Of course all the infrastructure runs on FreeBSD... *NEVAR DA EBIL LINUX! -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec |

What is this "ISP" of which you speak?
I wonder if he's gone past a T1 yet... Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

Ah, missed satire. Love that smell...
;-) What I was getting at: how many people actually use an honest-to-goodness dialup ISP these days as opposed to cable or suchlike... Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

yeah... I'm completely...
in "read/do what ever, not read 'tween the lines" mode last few weeks... (months now probably) I'm missing a lot (most) of satire and sarcasm... except when spoken to me.

Not Σ[-] though: white-on-dark can rest eyes, switching periodically
(but not the Luddite-saturated colors chosen by the Glass-eye.) Doubtless there are some scienterrific studies.. as, re some marathon read/following a procrastination. Worked for me, but haven't experimented lately--via Safari. Good reminder, this trip in the Tardis to yesteryear. 'Course too, the default teensy-font for THIS screed *cough* is a decided eye/brain-killer, necessitating [cmd +], dim-down and settle for bigger-but-uglier (unless I were to play in the Style-sheet sandbox--but that would be too logical. But now it's on the list.) All I know fersure is, white bkg. in Real Books, is fine--but Illuminated.. it's rilly Sucky; then there're the places with sl.-darker-grey/over-grey, Ya only go there once--the highlight-all trick?== worse-yet.) Grumble/grumble ... sloth kills. |

"A blast from the past."
Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of 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 |
