Ramblings of just another smart dude:
Somethings make me think a little more than I should maybe.
Sometimes I wonder how on Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, how Odo (the shape shifter/changeling) and Major Kira Nerys (a Bajorain), if they where an item, how exactly did they make love exactly? I mean Odo is really a blob a jelly that simply takes human form, and Kira is a type of humanoid. Still, if Odo is able to simulate everything about being a “man”, does he feel anything? We know he can’t smell or taste anything, so does he get anything out of it? I wish they would of cleared that whole mess up before they canceled the show in ‘99.
Sometimes I wonder if Tofu is egg and they are just lying to us all as a massive conspiracy. Soy milk tastes a lot like spoiled boiled egg nog to me as well.
Sometimes I wonder how we actually got the web to work. Seriously! Have you ever really tired to sit down and use an RFC to create a protocol implementation before? Its a mess of unknowns and undefined scenarios. Just look at MIME and SMTP; its a mind field! And can we please stop calling things “SIMPLE” (simple mail transfer protocol, simple network management protocol, etc…). Simple to you with your tools, but almost nothing remains simple when another developer must match your protocol spec in some other environment. Just look at SNMP. If it involves ASN.1 and BER encoding rules. On the platforms of today, thats not so simple anymore. Everyone breaks when it comes to asn.1 and how to handle 32 bit integers it seems. Nice and simple huh? Ohh yeah, that reminds me.. here is a code chunklet, (otherwise know as a “nice hack”, and this could be considered one of the best of the best when it comes to 10 minute hacks) to access SNMP in c#.
Sometimes I wonder how George Bush is still President. I can’t figure out where to begin or where to end sometimes. I hear so much every single day that adds to my stack of pure shock and amazement. I’m speechless, and I honestly have to check to make sure I’m not in some type of dream/fanitisy state when I hear some of it man.
I wanted to start a timeline blog so I wouldn’t forget every single blunder. Partly as a sick joke to myself to build a road plan to undo what Bush has done for the next President to use while spending a year or two to act as damage control. Basically which laws to reverse, which policies need fixing, allies that need apologies, which contracts that need to get pulled from the wrong companies, which taxes cuts that need to be reversed, which agencies need funding that were cut, etc. I bought the domain and started and quickly realized that its to much work for one person to take care of at this point. I would have to work non-stop for 12 months to catch to just today. Also the fact that I don’t think that we are going to be able to fix Bush’s amazing deficit in the next 15 years (thanks Bush for making my best years the worst).
I then started thinking of a personal exit strategy. So far it consists of moving to Canada and investing in aero space companies that are trying to populate Mars. The reason why is that I started to think that no body could be this incompetent. I know crack heads that seem like they are more on the ball. So I figured, he is up to something and he has a plan. He has a plan, and he just working in what seems like mysterious ways to us (Bush that is). I think Bush plans on destroying this world so bad and just plans moving on to the next one. I want to make sure I get in on the action early.
Ok, maybe not. Maybe he is just plain incompetent. I’m just amazed that we haven’t rised as one, and over thrown the crazy ones. I think a lot of people are like me and are to much in the completely shocked and frozen state right now. I sometimes wish we could have an automatic shocking dog collar that every government official should be forced to ware that we could vote online to let them have a few volts to get them back on track whenever they mess on the carpet and miss the paper and decide to take out a region. Did you know that the US government is the oldest and longest running government in the world that has not gone through any major fundamental change in the entire world?
Just another one of those thoughts that keep me up at night.Â
