April

how do I even know if anyone even sees these pages? I suppose that's why I stopped updating them


April 17, 2023 8:28 PM EST

And did he ever even get to that part about 'helmet safety' and that the guy in the photo wasn't wearing one?

Oh, no, yet another topic for the echo factory to pretend that people care about and repeat over and over.

 
 this is a lot more
             fun
         than wading
         in through the chan spam.

if you don't have proper fonts installed you won't see what this picture shows: the output of the echo command with unicode symbols as input. If you are blind basically the unicode are symbols that you could feel as shapes. If you have a 'font box', which would be like that divice with all the pins in it that you can place your hand inside, and the shape of your hand will appear on the surface. If such a thing locked, it would then let a blind person feel it and they would feel the shape. such a device that does that for font shapes would greatly aid the blind. It would be a 'kind of' high resolution new-braille. Call it a 'sean-box' font reader.

The Message Column




Winter seems to have passed

A lot can happen in a year. I used to update these pages all the time. Maybe I could start doing that again?

Today was the day of setting the clocks forward.

Winter 2024



I would go back to work if I had an offer.

No one who contacts me about work seems to provide any serious prospects, like they are just hazing me..



Avoiding discord

The realization that much of what you find on line is just bots messing with people and trying to train them to be ineffective at debate by making them revert to insults, putdowns, and sub-human behavior makes social media seem to be a wasteland. It is best to not participate in that.

All the rain could have been snow!
2024!

Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord

for his unfailing love!




  Teach me to be an instrument of your Peace!
  -St Thomas Aquinis





Success after long perseverence
gives you a new life!

Political and Media Inanity
by Truck-u-later

Truck-u-later

in this column Truck-u-later steps in deeper . . .

well most news was about the raid a few weeks ago, I read up on what I could find.

I read up on it but I didn't try to spend too much time dwelling on it.

I wrote some things. But I can only observe these things. I wish not to be seen as being one who understands what it going on in the world these days. I try to learn what happens and try less to 'splain about the peeps involved. That whole 'It's them!' finger pointing is bogus and discordant to an eccumenical and open hearth world view.

And those who seek to live within a meta where they rule the world as a cartoon avatar persona . . . and do their pyramid scheme money-thang and their virtuality as if it's real . . . They do as they will and I have no say over their futures. So why do they pretend to have a say over mine?

The answer is: that if they live within a meta, then their rules are for them there. Outside of that, in the real world, those of us who aren't crazy with self-entitled ideation, and wealth beyond measure that enables us to put the equipment on, and all of it's tethering and attachments and live within that matrix world . . . all of us who do not wish to join them in what seems to be a depraved cult of wish fulfillment cooupled with a magical point of view about the fate of peoples and persons . . . all of us who have not gone crazy like that . . . you can't really expect us to let you carry on and try to rule us from within your cage of technology?

video gaming morphed into 'meta world creation' because the games were too depraved that had the cool world layouts that people like. The puzzles one loves to solve, and the cool graphics that one wants to see were those times interspersed with simulated acting out of depraved behaviors, like having to kill all the other characters in the scene before one moves on to the next level.

So at some point you trained yourself to not do it, to click through the depravity as if it's not there, and maybe miss a creepy backstory. I gave up playing those kinds of games, and I still ike to watch old replays, but I fast forward through the gun fight parts, the ghouls who hound Lara Croft in the end levels of, say Tomb Raider aniversary are tiresome and almost designed to make the players hate this kind of depravity in a game, as if the writers are telling their funders ;Really, a kill anything that seems alive simulation? Like clones could never be born without a need to kill everything else in the proximity from where it emerged? Well, we all know what happend to the Lora Croft franchise, and most video games.

But the graphics can be compelling and fun, so people still get some enjoyment out of it.

And those who think that they can rule from within a meta? they have the persona of the villianous ancient ghoul who haunts Laura through out here travels. Watch a walk through of tomb Raider Aniversary. Feel free to fast forward through the psychopathic parts. But do listen to the banter and the dialog. Spoiler alert: Laura has a lot of soul searching to do.

Tell us
how
you really feel







蠱 work on what has been spoiled

sometimes you just need to remove kruft.

Politics never ends but sometimes it's better to remain mute. Mostly when there is nothing needing or wanting to be said.


but that is no one, that has
not hapened to anyone
you made it up.

thankfully true.

We move along. We keep doing for ourselves. We survive. We don't let the world define who and what we are, or how we feel, or what any of this really means.

And if they have bad humor, and will not forgive they will hate you then.


but at least in that
story they leave you 
alone after all of that


They dont' always leave you alone. It seems they still sometimes want to connect to try to draw that cray cray narrative out one more time. And you have to explain that, no, sorry, this is a bit. You caught me while I was writing a character, that's not me. I am using tht as a dialog in a paly that I'm having my character write inside of his narrative, he's writing his own play about a guy writing a play.

It's like he feeds on it, I get bothered that he lets me go on with it.




tell us how you really feel . . . . . . well . . . Truck-you-later!


I speak
but there is no one there.
I know that there is no one there.
I'm not really talking to myself
but I know that I'm not talking to anybody else.

It's August. People are harvasting their tomatoes. Other people don't have any tomatoes. The chipmunks will eat every single one while it's still very tiny. You need a fortified and fenced in garden.

Greetings from tree shaded yard!

 Praise
     The
    Lord
for insight
   given!

Praise the Lord for insight given!



Fix your self and the world gets fixed around you


as an example . . . I have tried to do some introspective things as I come into awareness of my own flaws, and recognize the way I act and correct my self and make a better narrative for myself and for others.




you raise me up
from far away
when a memory
of you
lifts me!



Somethings never change
nothing need stay the same
ah, but on a website
the constant change
 is kind-of the point . . . 

change without continuity and tradition is often very hard to manage for those thrust into it. And thus the frame of things gives a place for the change to happen. If you violate that idea then you are coming up with something completely different and maybe no one will want to see your new idea, or use your great, new venue, because it's too far out, and very far away from what they currently care about. It's a nether or a meta and it's merely for a lark? Or does it become the next big thing? As fun as graphics are (CGI) and animation, and making a world to fly around in (like minetest, which is easy when you learn how) ultimately such a meta is a hollow place. It's a distraction during the season of gaming. It allows one to brush up on geometry and math, and architectural design, it gives people training in computer languages, it allows someone to make some graphical ideas, and pass a few hours of time every few days or so . . .

To live within such a realm really isn't possible.

Poem Shards

just who reads, who writes these poems?
off a mountain road the poet roams
but only in a poem.

Realizing that the empty 
is empty
and not needing anything there.

just who shows up and for what?
I'm lonely or am alone or what does it matter?
driving off towards the nothing
walking along the nowhere path
up high
sure, it's a pretty view
but seen it, done it, jaded, back to the air port
he flew
his fantasy of happy vacation was through.


The deep snow.

The deep snow. She doesn't know how deep. She didn't think about it. Depth of snow no one know in rills and hollows where you shouldn't go when the storm is fierce and the night is cold even you shouldn't be so bold. poem is from 2012 short story titled Blizzard Baby The morning light is hued in cold awareness. Warming in the sun the bunny explores the snow covered lawn. The tracks melt by mid morning. Bunny doesn't know what the song means, anyway. This giant bubble that we call awareness?

Coders Edge

this didn't load back in 2019. it was 3 in morning as per time code, so I must have just not cared.

I post this today, in April of 2021, because it's the easiest way to archive the material herein, before I post something else

Seemless upgrade to Fedora 31 Beta

and python3 is the default, python2 is gone!



Today I am doing a dnf system-upgrade.

I found some documents that said some thigns to do. Here is a partial history:

sudo rpmconf -a

I'd never run the rpmconf-a before.


 sudo dnf install preupgrade
 9696  sudo dnf list |grep upgrade
 9697  sudo dnf install fedora-upgrade
 9701  sudo dnf info rpmconf

running the package cleanup with xargs made it very easy to remove the packages that needed to be cleaned-up. Also the -y was needed, or the dnf would return and not run, even with the sudo.

 this is shown for reference, these command
    should be understood and investigated before
        running them on your system
 9710  sudo package-cleanup --leaves|xargs dnf remove
 9711  sudo package-cleanup --leaves|xargs sudo dnf remove
 9712  sudo package-cleanup --leaves|xargs sudo dnf remove -y
 9714  sudo package-cleanup --orphans|xargs sudo dnf remove -y
 9715  sudo dnf clean all
 9716  sudo dnf preupgrade

 

this was suggested starting FC31:


 9718  sudo dnf module reset libgit2 exa bat
 9737  sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=31 --allowerasing
 9844  sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=31 --allowerasing

 

final step and a reboot:


9846  sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

AT this point on my dual card system I had to move the cable for the monitor to watch the very many packages install . There were 7272 packages.


 9847  history |grep dnf

after all of that I had to switch the cable back after everything installed.


The only issue I had was that I had to free up some disk space. But that solves itself because the old files will be deleted

Tuxkart Icons

I make Supertuxkart karts as a hobby. And I do enjoy playing the game. A feature of it is a tiny screen that shows the track and an icon of each car as it follows the track. And in some sense, that is an important feature, especially in the 'free for all' or car-battle part of the game.

An upgrade changed the default way that the game showed icons for those karts that failed to provide a valid icon file. The game would show nothing, so the cars would not show up in the small screen format to the side of the screen, and playing the game becamse much harder, especially in the 'crash and destroy the other cars' version of the game.

I decided to craft my own icons using ImageMagick. It was easy enough to get a list of all offending karts (from the error messages that were logged to the screen during the game intialization) and then from that list I made a file of very many items which has a single command to generate a 'label' in icon format. And as this is a useful thing to do, I decided that I'd spend even more time with it to get a better product. It brings up all kinds of various usecases. And it does allow me to do a useful review of techniques and proceedures to allow me to keep my skill set sharp.

And so I began a review of various BASH techniques, with the idea of crafting 'arrays' of colors so that all the colors can be different for all the vairous karts. And when I do this kind of thing (because it's veyr old schools stuff) I usually read through other people's explanations and learn by doing. So I read through one about 'Arrays' in BASH and the guy goes through all the issues with the 'new feature' that isn't always implemented, depending on your version of BASH (as old as it is it's really not got standards like some other languages) and the author goes into the various difficulties with BASH arrays, the associative verses the indexed arrays, and how the two don't really work together. and 'math' is done inside the brackets to allow for the ++ and -- incrementor and decrementor idioms to work on the indexed arrays.

Someplace in one of the writeups, and I should try and find it, someone points out that often times even though things are 'there' and 'available' within a progrmming environment, they aren't as full featured as other languages' implementations. And so the author of that blog suggested that one, if one needs a rigorously engineered and easy to use array idiom, use Python.

Use Python for complex arrays in a BASH environment. If you can write BASH, and have a BASH shell, it's very likely in a desktop environment that a Python interpretor is also available. Learn to use it, the author recommended. I have to agree.

Egidio Docile, the author of BASH array article suggests in the conclusions "When a script starts to become more complex than expected, my advice is, however, to switch to a more capable scripting language such as python. " But notice he suggests to do that when the complexity is large. Python arrays are better thought out, easier to use. So use them!

Seriously just needed to use dnf, completely as advertised. Even able to easily do this, with the reboot, through a shell and remote and secure (in the standard well known way)

What's wrong with 'the web'
what is the future of 'memes'
why do people need 'in between'
meta portals that turn 
into hypnotic distractions?

how come so few poople have their own pages
and host them in an easy and normal way?

Ah, the mysteries of the modern age . . . 

when these pages first started 
I had a feature where you could log in.
I quickly turned it off

I heard about the new requirements for policing content.
I was not up for the task of 
even friends, supposedly,
filling my pages up with stuff 
that I had to immediately errase.
that sucked.

And I realized that I could give a comm
channel to people who would abuse it.

So I don't deal with 'secret methods'
If there are messages, I'm making it clear and plain.
that doesn't mean everyone could understand
all this, how could they?

yes, headhunters, I would consider work. Mention you read this here.
