IDK

I guess this is just a blog post to write a blog post. It’s pretty nice to be able to write whatever the hell I want, have it available publicly, and yadda yadda.

I’ve been climbing ladders at work. It seems I’m valued (so far) by my employer. I guess I deliver on more than just promises, I innovate. I save money and increase revenue. I guess having me around is a huge bonus for them.

Bleep

I’m giving Bleep a try. It’s the Bittorrent “Secure Communication App”.

No idea as to how well these people can be trusted with secure communication. It’s an appealing idea; secure distributed communication with no central point of failure. We’ll see.

If anyone has any information on security or audits done, I’d be more than happy to take a look.

For now, here’s my Bleep contact info:

I’m also giving “Tox” a shot. ID here:

My Rant

I have yet to meet someone who claims the Christian faith and seeks knowledge.

“Have faith.”

“Just believe and it will happen.”

“You’ve got to believe.”

All of these are extinguishers. They suffocate the flame of curiosity. They satisfy the easily satisfied with half-answers. These are not things that a person who truly desires knowledge will ever find themselves saying.

I’m assaulted almost every day by every depth of stupidity that exists. I’ve seen the lowest of the low, and the commonality shared across the board is that they have brains that don’t even begin to seek answers for things. Religion is lost on them. They don’t need it, they don’t need answers. Religion is intended to control the middle ground. It was created to control the average person. A typical person will ask for the reasoning behind things. They may not feel a constant nagging in the back of their minds if that reason is not satisfactory to them. They’re likely to be able to accept that reason and move on, satisfactory or not. That’s where religion fits in.

Here We Go, Yet Again

It looks like I’ve made some people a little cranky. Someone thought it would be humorous to throw some UDP traffic my way, which about 10gb managed to get through and interrupt a bit of traffic for my provider.

Don’t worry, kids, I won’t be taking shortcuts any longer. No easy-to-spot domain pointers to the man behind the curtain. You’re not going to see anything but content delivery network from here on out. No PHP, no server-side execution other than simple page delivery.

Same Shit, Different Day

I’ve walked away from the Internet almost entirely for nearly five months. I left it, in good conscience, in order to improve my life. I spent so much time and effort interfacing with this amazing invention that connects people. In effect I was able to form connections to others whom exist in social spheres I’m wholly extant from.

I was immediately filled with disgust. “th3j35t3r”, yellow ribbons, Bradley Manning hate, “Ed Snowden IS A TURRURIST!” babble bullshit… These are all opinions held by individuals in the fanbase of “information security”.

Atheism is Neutral Ground

It’s time to address a situation that has needed attention for many years now. With our nation being a diverse melting pot of an immense number and variety of loons, we’re facing an ever-increasing amount of tension. Most of this tension seems to emanate from religious factions that maintain opposing belief systems.

If you were to drive around Dearborn, MI, you’d notice one thing; Your white, Christian, pasty ass would be the minority. Dearborn is the Islamic capital of the USA, just about. It has also been one of the most scrutinized cities by the Department of Homeland Security in their quest to profile and label every non-Christian in the USA.

Return of the Asshat

The blog has been down a while. I know. I suck. I get that, I really do. My computer took a shit. CPU fan died. Those things are a bitch when they’re fixtured to the motherboard. I had to completely disassemble this piece of shit. At least I made it worth my while. Installed a 120mm radiator / water-block closed circuit water cooling system instead of a shitty typical fan.

“Trolling”

“Trolling”

Meh. “Trolling”. Yeah. No, grow up. It’s not trolling. It’s only offensive in how blatant and immature it is. Trolling is a art. This isn’t trolling, it’s emo attention-whoring.

Oh well. Maybe if more kid’s dads paid attention to them growing up we wouldn’t have so many irritating little shits running around begging for attention.
