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


Summer is here!

The dangers of unexploded ego

stink berries. what if all your fruit were stink berries? and they make an elaborate larp to see the effect of it. It's a stink berry guy, and he's a fashion maven, knows how to style a smile. He's a gorgeous man who knows it but is most for reasons of his own, call it character, but that is only part of him. He's got another side of him where he gallops around like an emoji horse, from chat room to chat room to channel to live feed sounding off about all the various urge-of-the-day things and it's all an act done in character. He uses emojis in ALL his posts, which were current at this web site in 2013? 2014? and carroselling in the nethers of these pages (I did demonstration pages).

And is it real or is it fake and . . . does it matter?

the unexploded ego. Getting to see it 'go nuclear' but all within sane and ethical boundries. Lines are never crossed. It's a measured attempt, a rouse to draw flack from those who like to give flack. And is that, should that be, a dangerous job? Details of some real person, dead beat down and drunk and showing you where he is, so you can go look for him? the logistics of the larp, the details of the situation, messages between 'frenz'?? all comm is written as a bad story. A poor writer, he only hacks. He isn't so much just a first draft, but just that he is daft. He ryhymes his passages (does he?) or maybe not, either way, that's just me making a needless aside.

And when I understood abotu narrative I said 'what a lot of bullshit to lay on other people, all this misconcieved 'here is where it goes.' stuff. So a larper who is making up a persona who is designed to draw people in so that they waste time in obcessive thoughts about who is really a stranger? How is it different in the sense, then being interested in the personages of someonei in a movie. But instead, because it really is a 'real' person, the better choice is to let it go, let him be, stop worrying, let 'the world' help him as the world does. And you still want to 'watch' the 'cast'? Is it just as interesting if you only listen to it as sound? Why would someone do a live cast other than a sense of vanity? And you keep making up more things in your head that apply only to you and aren't about whoever it is, her dream, her day, that way she says what she says, throws her hair, makes a sudden smile, she's got a look he watches her . . . every week . . .

The dangers of unexploded ego

People who live behind a mask

A jaded person says 'everyone is always behind a mask, and you never 'know' anyone, for real'. And who can argue with a jaded person, because they have clogged their ears anyway, and they don't understand the levels of things. MOrality, displayed as broken, as a bit in an old play that was broadcast live as theatre and only one copy exists . . . as if it's precious. And it sits on a shelve and no one ever watches but he comese into the room and through the secret powers of his made up theories of life and concocted narrative, he is able to 'read' the tape or film wihtout having to view it. He cluches the film real canister and holds it in a drammatic way in front of himself, tilted up in the front of the view (the view?) and meditates on truth and light for a while.

In the graphic for this, of course, there would be anime lightning bolts., and anime my-tiny-pony, and other assorted, possibly pornographic, nonsense imagery that really an adult person would have deleted by now. Unless hes drawing them himself. But it really seems to be that he thinks he's got someone hypnotized off in larper land and he's messaging them through poison pornime borderline stuff (that only a creep would make into a collection). (a creep . . . ? ? ? )

Ah the various personas. So after the gig at the chan cafe ran out, for various reasons things got out of control, this larper in largeness, having , as he said, 'dominated' or 'owned' the 'chan' or the research board, decided to flame on. And it's like when the lights go on and suddenly you see someone one who was always there, and obviously being almost like a trickster larper, someone fun and not mean but quick with it, to pop everyone else's bubble of bullshit and there is an image of him from an old . . . an old . . . mindcrap post? some thing from a few years ago so it's not that old, and he's dressed as a wrestler and you can see that he hasn't been workng out. and he's got henna tatoos like a wrestler might, they are not perminent, he doens't have them now. And he looks like a typical guy, maybe he really is that austic and kind of dumb about his effect, but these were photos shared with friends, I suppose, and what purpose for me to see it except, well, that is what fans do. (fans of the wierd austic larper).

The real back story about such a person, a person who is an obvious mask wearer? what could I really know, just fanning out into the Internet? the solution to the 'who and why'? the solution to th ewho and why of this cat of the chans is 'who knows?' the real story? the why? Does there need to be a why?

It's someone real. He set himself up to do fame casts. He wants to be famous. He learned along the way the dangers of fame. And that you can't larp 'allegience to the truth and the light' without attracting a lot of attention. And it's so obvious to anyone with 'brain on' that this is a . . . . an effort . . . in drawing flack, an heroic effort in drawing flack so you might have some sense of great joy about it. But the dude's gotta stay in character and be that larper phaa hagging on.

It's someone being what they need to be within the fog of war and on the field of battle to draw attention to the details of the fake, and draw flack from those to quick to hate, with the intent to keep other people safe.

Or the guys just out of his head and complex and real. in every case 'complex and real'

I can't stop the way I feel
is it true or is it real?
I swoon and swet and play the fool
for someone who is so uncool!

Spring is full swing!

flowers, grass, red maples showering down their tiny blossoms.

The World get Pretty!

The world gets beautiful in the Spring!

Praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord

for his unfailing love!


Jambience



How do we get lost like that?

It's hard to face the reality of feelings sometimes. People don't understand the wonderful effect that they often have. the effect becomes less wonderful if they abuse your affections. Sadly that's the story often.




Praise the Lord!

Work on what has been spoiled. But what about those who pretend that there isn't a problem?

some
content gets wicked stale and needs to be
modified or deleted!

And a stadium sized fuel-cell bubble-house that floats off towards New Brunswick.

And a New Brunswick sized fuel-cell bubble-house that floats off towards a distant galaxy of light.






void poem









outside of time
where none of this is even real
he pauses for a while
but since there is no time
no one ever knew how long it was.

Tell us
how
you really feel



a running headline:

Trump continues to win bigly!









why is philadelphia calling
all the failure, all the pain
the people who were better forgotten
and I don't remember their names?

what reason to reach for a memory
something imagined and soon gone?
to linger in the sad facts of that decay
that went on for far too long (lawn?)

what reason to save a file
in which it would be stored a poem?
knowing that no one will read it
when they find you at home alone?


蠱 work on what has been spoiled

A new year and I'm still stuck in an antique and hunkered in mindset, not believeing in the so-called job markets, and feeling off-to-the-side. No matter. I'm surviving.

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? Seemingly hollow, it's filled up with you reading this and wondering where does this idle poet get his idle hours to spew out this bubble web of hollowness? 🚦 🚧 🚨 🚩 🚪 🚫 🚬 🚭 🚮 🚯 🚰 🚱 🚲 🌛 🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌙 🌚 🌛 🌜 🌝. 🚤 🚥 sometimes there is beauty within the fragments . . . 🌜🌜🌜🌝🌛🌛🌛 Sprongg . . . onng . . . ongg ga Her tired morning seems more like poetry than anything you can find on a blog.

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.
