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.

It's Autumn and soon to be Winter

I had a server failure and am just getting back to putting this website up again. This is a test to see if I can easily publish


Dec 09, 2024
5:44 PM EST

Winter will soon be here!

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.

The Right Column

The Christmas Spinster movies are back!

And 10 new ones in the fall.

The Christmas Spinster movies are back on the Hallmark Channel this week. This genre of movie is a cross between a matchmaker movie and a Srooge movie. And in the end of it the troublesome rougishly handsome and rugid heart-throbe guy (with the most amazing look of pure loving manliness and chaste except for the right one, but committed to not being married) finally meets the career woman who falsely thinks that career and love can not coincide. Well they can. And these kinds of movies prove it. lol.

I like this genre, as hoaky as it is. It's is almost the same genre as Fantasy Island, but more like a Twilight Zone genre, not tht the stories are far fetched. lol. when I say lol I mean 'humourous beat'. Obviously there are some weird twilight zone things going on. But it's Santa zone. No, Santa does not work for the NSA (actually in one of the more recent films, which I have not seen, Santa is blackmailed by . . . I don't rememvber the name of that movie. I can look in my notes.).

And so we have this new cute genre that gets played in a loop through the holidays. And the stories always try and combine a multi-racial multi-ethnic Christian view of the world where everyone clebrates the diversity of each other but the unity of The One. Christmas is when He first arrived. So, that's cool for a Christian and some of these movies take it there. But if it comes from the heart of course it has to include all the non-Christians too. So the genre also has that, and it gets treated respectfully.

I am not sure if anyone has done any kind of a story from a stoners spinster Christsmas? Kind of a Seth Rogan thing but don't have it promoting creepy free-sex rave culture that exists in expectations made from movies like that.

What kind of Christmas Spinster story would I write? The roughishly handsome man is really a . . . But we can't disappoint the future wife. He has to have a friend who is equally suited but the story has to be that they have known each other long enough for being in love to make sense.

I guess one form of parody would be if the same woman had such a Christmas every Christmas. You could cast Elizabeth Taylor (of course you can't really) as the lead in that one. It would be a like Groundhogs day for Spinster Christmas, it would star E. Taylor as a CG thing. It would be like zelig with Seth as the woodie. And he would be a set crew guy in Jewish LA during the 1960s. It would be the comedy movie that would spoof all the of the bad television from the 1960s and possibly edning with the destruction of sixties television at the point of the Rob Riener friends making all of that activast television. Her is a questin of Mr. Big producer: why couldn't we have had both? Maybe we can have an alternative world where The Beverly Hillbillies was never cancelled. Who knows, it might have run for ever? How long would Petticoat Junction have stayed on the air? Why couldn't ARcie Bunkier have gone there too? Why did it have to be one or the other?

Will the hollywoosies craft an honest story about that period? Will they discuss openly the constant and overwhelming agenda mongering that still shows up in a lot of their productions? Any regrets from these people? Well, I don't want to be insulting, and I did like a lot of it when it was fresh, and I don't know what kind of restraints they were under, or the pressures from funders. But as radical as they pretended to be they sure fit right into their kiss the butt of the establishment. They became the new establishment. And we were supposed to always think of them as the radicals that they pretended to be as actors back in the golden age of TV. There are good causes. Most of what was on agenda-monger normal leer type television wsa ostensively good: racial and religious equality, rights of man, caring for the poor, not being self-entitled, loving eeryone, being charitible. Somewhere those things got replaced with support for agendas that clearly come from some high-alpine here is what we want people to believe kind of place. Like the lie of Global alarmism. Are we to believe that the furvent causes that were previously promoted are not a lot more important that some of the ones that get promoted now? Social justice! That was a good cause! Equal rights! a great cause. Anti gun? Well, anti nut having a gun, yes. But not anti all guns because if you start there there is no end to it. Just about anythign can be weaponized. So if someone decided to do that (a creep who needs to be arrested) it is a lot easier to ahve a hibridized object that effects the use of force in a way to inflict least harm to non-creeps and most non-deadly harm (let us hope) for the mentally ill person with the weapoinized whatever it is. Gun control means not taking away all guns but the safe and moral use of guns. We control guns by not being outragious and inciteful. We control gun by not letting constant aggitation towards targetted groups by agitators go one unceasingly like some people do against legal gun owning moral citizens.

Of course there has to be a limit. The total confiscation of guns is rediculous. Also the total and complete unregulated purchase and ownership of anvanced armaments. But I say if some excentric wants to provide some new and legal to use weapon for his local police or malitia, like say he wants to sponser a tank for the national guard of his district, why would we prevent him from buying it for the service of everyone? For private use: of course not!

And so the arguements go on. We have the Spinster Christmas movies. I'd like to write a stoners version of it. I went off on various Hollywood sterotype people who live in my head, people, who honestly, I don't really know and have not interviewed so don't take my opinion on them but form your own. I am just envious about how much bad television got made and I would have liked to have been involved in making good television. I still would be.

and then I went on about how even the agenda mongering stuff from the Norman leer genre was mostly to promote racial and ethnic and relgious eccumenicalism and a nonbigoted age. But that the genre of it morphed into being alos have very many causes from agenda factories. Then I said that Global Alarmism is a troubling trend (I paraphrase). Then I tried to disallow my criticism (I whim out) concerning certain hollywoozzies who I don't even know. I can't really put my head in their world and ascertain why so many of them seem to be complete and total . . . well, not I am asking that now.

When it gets to the point that the activasm of agreesive aggitation creates an untenible social situation, the reaction is often anger, which the agitators are looking for. They want the aggitated to act out. So if you approach the aggitator with love then they probably don't know how to react to that.

The "I don't know what you are talking about, it is all in their head." defense falls apart. Then it is the "They don't like me because I am a [some category]." I used to use that one a lot for excuses for my failures in life. Then I finally realized: it isn't because I am gay that people don't want me for these projects. It is because of other reasons. My own failures. It was liberating to realize that my rejection was not because of my closeted nature. Insteda it was more my iconoclasm and my "don't just think outside the box, but don't even admit tht the box is ever necessary"

In the end we are all very much the same about most things. Of course we are different in many other ways. If the self-entitled sees everyone like that then is that really self-entitled? If the rich fat movie mogul is a generous and benficient dude, then so what he does product placement as a main source of revenue and basically going against the tenets of philosophies that you know that he supports. And if the mayor is a theif? What kind of a theif? A Robin Hood?

We may be entering difficult times. It seems to many that our ship of state is being intentionally sailed into these rough shole-laden waters. So, let us trust in God and believe. That really solves it all. And as far as delusions about the powerful: it is best to keep your accusations in check.

How can it be Saturday again
    after working so hard all week long
 and thinking of you and you are gone,
 what can I say that I gained?

Without you telling me anything
     you got up before the wind
 I realize I was crazy to miss you so much.
    Groggy, it felt the shame
 and worried about how I sinned.

 Everyone who I knew
    had flown away.
 Now that it is over
     I am speachless.

poet note: if he is 'speachless' or 'has nothing to say'
  then why does this poem go on? A paradox? or a reason 
for editing? Probably a reason for editing.
end of poet note.

 If Winter
      came with less sudden unexpected force
 The fear of the big freeze
  wouldn't scare us so much.
 Pipes burst, a 1000 dollar bill from
 a plumber
if you don't hurry up hurry up drive there
before the blizzard
 and everything all drenched and frozen.
 
 As fridgid blizzard deep chilled the world
the rivers, the streams, the ponds, the lakes
 all had that first freeze pudding look,
 the snow not really melting as it hit the surface.
    The world be became as glacier.
         "It kind of looks pretty now
  way off in the distance."
  
  People know where to not build a camp:
          way out on a ledge of the frozen damp.

8:08 A.M.


At the bottom of the trail
there were unexpected roses
unexpected thorns
blood on his arm
and a view
of distant mountains
far below
like looking out
the window of a jet-liner


Out in the backyard
there were unexpected petunias
unexpected fushia and purple bud heads
tiny bug on a leaf
with a view
of a giant camera lens
looking over at him
like looking into the eye of the Internet
And tiny exotic backyard insect
joyously hums from bud to bud.







Robert's Painting

Every so often the guy in the golf clothes whacks one of the balls Every so duckular often the guy in the golf clothes whacks one of the balls in the painting and it goes flying off into the exhibition area in the painting donkulous and it goes flying off into the exhibition area maybe colliding with one of the other artworks, a statue of maybe colliding with one of the other diddle-de-doos, a statue of a godess by Dali with drawers, the Virgin Madonna by Anonymous, knocking some of it off knocking sinners into a stance of mornful repose or hitting museum goers on the head. or hitting the mark as far as the truth ban the hatred of the game. And down there, added in, in miniature Add this down there, in that hell, added in, in miniature is the painting itself Even this view is tainted and can be burned within being ferried into the very hell of the painting itself it's own hell, created by the artist and added in by Bill it made him so afraid how dark he'd been back then and and only right here, in the poem readers' minds had to paint over the ceiling in his bedroom as they read this. because the patterns that he done before The painting, itself, is secreted within the roof of a . . . gave him feelings that he felt better without (in a severe way) [here the poem is frayed in half the secret place? another staff? another song having been ripped away poet has nothing left of that today] duckulous retackduckular . . . an antique outbuilding. redandicktacktative orangelemontictacularge Somewhere outside of time, beside promblemdockulatory the poem quote commentaries antidedescrimination in the 'click-here' sections of people's minds lies the concept of the thought of the hope subduckulatorialflipout that there might be adventure fregretaboutdictorious buried down in the poem refringetative so someone could find it and actually fringification go outside and do something duckulfringible like reading some weird-head poem payouowenopligninidictioinarilypronounced on a sad-soap wash day how does meaning get drapped into mind? near the city-bridge in the rain walking around on the ledges down below talking about Kerouac The golfer in the painting whacks another ball and it smacks the poem-reader upside the head. it's just a thought-ball is all.

In the light of the moon
within the scent of the sea
on a night when it's full
she is talking to me
and the wind has the scent of the ocean
and the scent of the petal fall
petals flutter in the moonlight
through the slight wisps of misty fog
draped around the farway shores
across the buzzards and bay
all the way to good Providence
and the river fire up there tonight
hoping no one who fight
doesn't realize it means concern






To be able to say something
so mean to someone that you love so much
shows that you are obcessed with this woman
and means that you probably ought to get over yourself
and realize how much you love her and just accept it
and be that guy
who is the one woman guy.

This pretty tree
grows far off on
a silver hill at dusk
in the light of the rising Moon
the flock of geese flying towards the faraway mountains
out beyond things we had considered real before
without a necessary eternity
like fading mist on the inside of a windshield 
blasted by the warm air from the blower.

The pretty tree
drawn by a tiny finger
in the glass
is still faintly there
and toddler is snug and snapped in safe
in the back seat
pointing through the glass
and discussing The Moon

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.

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.
