April

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

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

Major Changes here

things just progress sometimes. This is progress. The website now has a login feature. Logging in gives you a different experience. You can still get to the content. It's just not all dumped out at once.

Wouldn't it be cool if . . .

Yes, this website is forever different. Why? Well, mostly because what is the point of the other version? It was too much. Too much all at once. It's all still here, it's just not in the form that I had it.

This site was always supposed to a partial of what I do. When the chill came upon the literary world a few years back (and you all know what I'm talking about) I decided that I'd hold back a lot of what I write. And I have.

Also I've never put out my full novels. Yes, I do have at least 10 of them. And yes, they don't suck. (do I care if you like them? no. I do icare if you think they are correct? no I don't. Do I care if you read them? not really. It would be nice, to make an income on my old efforts. But in this world of usurpation I choose to not sell-out. Does this 'harm' me? of course not. I wanted to be a real literatti, someone who'd get respect after I'm dead because I wasn't full of shit. Of coruse we are all full of shit at times. Especially those who say things like "I really do have more than 10 different novels."

On the day that I turned to be the age that some famous novelist, long dead, the age when he, who I used to rever much more than I do now, he who . . . doesn't get resspect in some corners. And there are variuos reasons. In any case it was a time of my life and I said 'ok, I've out lived famous guy who I used to rever much more than I do today'. I was still in awe of him them.

I'm still kind of in awe of him. He really was a sweet guy in some sense. In another sense he was a letcherous drunk, some times out of control.

Well, I'm not like that. And so, it's just fine for me to not need the fame. But it would be nice to have the fortune without the fame. I didn't really ever even try to promote myself. Should I? Should I bother? Should I hire an agent (the wise thing to do). Should I solicite for an agent any literary agent that wants to get in touch do it, dude, dame or otherwise. I'll be receptive.

And for now, as far as it goes, I'm fine. Fine and dandy. Not so dandy as I used to be. And with some of the same issues and problems. None of us are perfect.

 Everyone loves someone better
 better or worse or the same
 you can't know
 to the lengths they go
 so that the world doesn't say they're insane.

     oh those
     
     
spin me a yarn neon
spin me a yarn neon

   write the letters all in different colors
   
 Done That!
 
 
 



 Everyone loves someone better
 better or worse or the same
 you can't know
 to the lengths they go
 so that the world doesn't say they're insane.
 
 
 Hey boys? 
 Is this just noise?
 I know
 that you're annoyed.
 
 And they spin as well, spin me a yarn!
 
 



 What would you do?
  Don't know?
   she holds
   those
   roses
   that rose
   those roses.
   
 Where would
  you take her?
    Don't know?
     she's got a shopping guide
     to the mall-storrre resort,
     bath oil and a bar
     just down the boardwalk from the room she booked.
     
  If you go to Maine
   at the forth of the month
    you gotta know
     to have folding chairs 
      in your trunk
       to watch the canoes
       rolling through.
       they stop all the traffic
       just to so do . . .
       
   She'd
    go off with you 
       to Maine
        every summer
         if you wantta
         
          you just gotta
           stop pretending
           that it isn't her.
           as if there were
           any other.
    it's her, doppy dope, I knoiw
    it's insulting to
    call you that
    but she . . . keeps waiting
    for you to put down that video game controller
    and move into her life, take it over
    as she takes over yours
    and you find that none of it bores
    because it's her
    at the end of the pier
    at the end of the hike
    at the end of the day
    at the end of the line
       the hope
       the reason
       dressed in white
       she is the most beautiful
        bride
        that could ever be
   
   So now are you not upset at me?
   for proding you on
   to go
   and tell her, 
   "ya, you and me, ya."

Political and Media Inanity
by Truck-u-later

Truck-u-later

Everyone is lathered up about the TTTTPP. The TeePee, TPea? Payoff to the highest bidder? In any case the liberty was lost and ceded long long ago, clear cut and hauled off. Lost and gone. It's over if they say it's over kind of crap. Not really useful to worry.

Treaties that no one is allowed to read, trade aggreements for free trade that super cede courts? imposition of foriegn urge, and payoff of richest bidder always winning, those with the most cash making all the rules. Cash being something that is just imagined now, no real hard currency. So if it's to be what 'they' say it will be what does it matter what I have to say about it? The effect of 'them' on the rest of us? If 'they', ie the world lumpshkins, who are like a form of dumpling, only in the stew of leadership: a created thing, like a dough boy, 'they' who delude to rulership can only get away with that delusion for so long before 'they' are carted off to retire and be rendered meaningless and useless. I'm jst rambling now.

So believe in your self. Worry not about the conspiracies. What ever 'they' are going to do 'they' will. And you trying to stop them or resisting them is merely playing into the hands that what they do actually matters (which it doesn't).

Of course it matters what anyone does. This includes the 'they' (who may or may not be real). But in the case of those who delude to high authority. Those who believe the deliusion that htey are rullership class, and thus priviy to special special treatment and above the law. No one is. You might be above the human law but never is anyone above the laws of God Almighty! And the laws of human decency. Even if it's coded in your mind to respect some authority self-annoited, your class is 'bred', you are told to be 'special' and you dehumanize everyone else, if you really were such a parody of human decency (who would ever admit it). If you were such a cur thinking dude, you'd probably have other charms so that you could get away with being a jerkoff for a while . . .

So does it matter if some godless idiots cullude to world domination? and delude that they have 'power' over men and they are 'in charge'. they can imagine this all they want but on the street, or in the town, or in the forest, the rules of immpolite political agenda fussers is not as important as juset doing what is right for the people. And it can't just be them saying that this is right, but it must really be that.

Well, that's politics in one sense. This is me just rambling. And not reediting. And probably deleteing rather quickly.

OK, enough of this.

August Tomatoes

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? How could it have been formed?

Coders Edge

served to you by:

Fedora 40

After 40 different versions what can one say about it anymore? It's installed in all my systems, a day earlier. There are a few minor issues, but no show stoppers.

I did some stuff with lvm to resize a root area. That took a very long time. It's on a machine that maybe just should be retired . . .

Fedora Core 38 beta

Ya, I decided to load Fedora Core 38 Beta about a month ago, and this machine kept shutting down . . . I think I finally fixed it. Tomorrow is the big release day for the Fedora Core 38. My production workstation is still running FC37. I don't know if I'll jump right on it right away. . .

my server is still resetting, or maybe I have it fixed. I decided to just remove plasma-desktop, as I don't use it. The journals were giving all kinds of errors with that, and I think that might have been the issue, conflicting with the gdm that I do use. Worst case I'd just go to runlevel 3 but, as I said in another column, I don't really even know if anyone views these pages anyway.

My production box would upgrade but the dnf says it would downgrade grum and associated tools, and that's never a good thing to do. I'm just not going to do it! anyway I'll check tomorrow when the offical release is and probably do it then. If I'm in the mood.

So now I've run every version of Fedora serving this website! that's a long time.

here is from a year ago:

Fedora Core 36 beta

It took some time to figure out how to defeat the new screensaver built in, but I was able to. It's the biggest downside to the new Gnome.

I set the keybindings to something I don't use, and then put in a custom keybinding to use the old tool.

There are other minor things that annoy too, like the restoration of a deleted file that I always have to delete again on every FC core upgrade. The file is name camera-shutte.oga. It's in /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo

At the precipice of coding.

a mountain trail often has a place with a great view and a perilous fall if you wonder just a bit too far to one side of the trail. It's called a precipice. It's not a scary place. It's a safe place that one passes through.


OK, so I've done an update to FC34.

the biggest issue was . . . . drum roll . . .a lock up of gnome.

and if i clicked on the activities button I would need to reload (log out log back in).

I was able to run stuff without that, and thus determined a list of files that might need to be removed. I did as full reinstall of gnome as such:

dnf reinstall gnome

then I did a

dnf list installed |grep fc33

which gave me a list of files to consider uninstalling.

from that I got the following:

first odd issue:

sudo was not at first working! I had to install it! I kept the configuration file so I have my preferences still set up.

dnf install sudo                                                                                                                                                                          dnf reinstall gnome-*                                                                                                                                                                       dnf reinstall kde*                                                                                                                                                                          dnf reinstall NetworkManager*                                                                                                                                                               dnf remove gnome-screensaver                                                                                                                                                               dnf remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-20.04.0-2.fc33.noarch                                                                                                                       dnf remove xorg-x11-xkb-extras-7.7-33.fc33.x86_64                                                                                                                                          dnf remove compat-openssl10-1:1.0.2o-11.fc33.x86_64                                                                                                                                        dnf remove mozjs60-60.9.0-7.fc33.x86_64                             

there are still some fc33 packages, (I also looked for fc32 packages, anything older that was gnome)

sudo dnf list installed |grep fc33
biber.noarch                                         2.14-4.fc33                            @fedora               
gamin.x86_64                                         0.1.10-37.fc33                         @fedora               
libgta.x86_64                                        1.0.9-5.fc33                           @fedora 

if removing a package also removed large numbers of other packages, I left it. For each of the few that I did remove, I always would make sure by reading what would happen before agreeing to the transaction.

now the gnome-shell is working and it doesn't lock up. So which of the packages that I removed made the difference? I am not sure.

and so after just a few short hours of install, I've got my system working in away that seems normal.

the new gnome shell moves the icons to the bottom of the screen.

I find gnome-shell to be annoyingly poppy at times. I tend to do things rapidly, and all the popping can be nauseating.

It is helpful to learn how to use dnf. I've found that the reverse history stuff works as long as you haven't made too many changes. It's a dicey, though, to try and go back to an older revision but I did it ONCE. Next time it didn't work out so well. AT that point it was installing dnf and yum from rpms.

and I had success. It's the kind of thing that when you know how to do it . . .

but there was one other trick that I needed and it was a scary way to reset a password and I did discover how to do it. I'm not sharing that one (barely remember) it's like these things exist in a nether, and it's best to . . . let the knowledge fade unless you need it. It's too scary to dwell in that space.

anyway, gnome shell is working. It's not flighty and hanging up. And all it took was to remove the old packages of gnome that might conflict with it. And now I can continue with my review.
