KFC and Cold Stone Creamery would have agreed with me on the Lost Day, but instead I went the other way, and found nothing very interesting.\nShort Update in China TD, The tea was probably oolong, but I haven’t had it again to ask someone to confirm.

I’ve seen two (which also means I was able to recognize them as Japanese). This is a fairly large metropolitan area, and even though I can’t read much (about 10 to 15 percent of public signs and product labels have English translations – only about 5% of business signs). That’s not to say that all of the locals “like it”, there is no shortage of Mazdas on the roads either.\nBig Night in China TD, No, I’ve seen no traffic accidents. “The Other American” did - but only the aftermath. A mangled bicycle, a dented taxi and broken glass.\nTD \u0026 DH: After about a week you realize that along with the insanity of breaking all the rules, everybody in cars move with a determined sense of caution, which often makes traffic ooze instead of move. The merge thing is part of that ooze. Those whom are a little less cautious will simply get around those who are a little more cautious.\nCrossing streets - especially large streets - the dynamic changes with crowds. The crossing is simply done in the form of safety by numbers. Where the lead - least cautious - walkers take the risk and lead the way for the rest of the group. Crossing a street alone is pretty much what I described though.\nDH: I think HongKong tracks more closely to Brittan - as they were the law of the land until fairly recently. Audio crossing is definitely a downtown London sound.\nUD: Hey, everyone… It’s my Uncle! … I’m still working out how to get some photos in the blog, there are lots of sites that can help don’t exactly agree with me from here (either intermittent or non-existent).\n","wordCount":"479","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-20T12:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-20T12:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/a-note-to-my-readers...from-china/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

This editing interface (blogger.com) works intermittently, but does work most of the time. However, my page at blogspot.com is simply not available to me.</p><p>If you are one of the nice folks whom have posted a note, I cannot reply (I only know about them because of the moderation interface) except in this very public way (or via Email). Thanks for your notes, and here are some public replies.</p><h2 id=lost-day-in-china>Lost Day in China<a hidden class=anchor aria-hidden=true href=#lost-day-in-china>#</a></h2><p>TD, When I say I went the wrong direction, it is that &mdash; not as far as I walked this day &mdash; in a different direction is the Zhong Guan Cun Shopping District. KFC and Cold Stone Creamery would have agreed with me on the Lost Day, but instead I went the other way, and found nothing very interesting.</p><h2 id=short-update-in-china>Short Update in China<a hidden class=anchor aria-hidden=true href=#short-update-in-china>#</a></h2><p>TD, The tea was probably oolong, but I haven&rsquo;t had it again to ask someone to confirm. Considering how simple tea is, it can really have a lot of flavors.</p><p>I thought I would mention though that Japanese restaurants are not actually so rare. I&rsquo;ve seen two (which also means I was able to recognize them as Japanese). This is a fairly large metropolitan area, and even though I can&rsquo;t read much (about 10 to 15 percent of public signs and product labels have English translations &ndash; only about 5% of business signs). That&rsquo;s not to say that all of the locals &ldquo;like it&rdquo;, there is no shortage of Mazdas on the roads either.</p><h2 id=big-night-in-china>Big Night in China<a hidden class=anchor aria-hidden=true href=#big-night-in-china>#</a></h2><p>TD, No, I&rsquo;ve seen no traffic accidents. &ldquo;The Other American&rdquo; did - but only the aftermath. A mangled bicycle, a dented taxi and broken glass.</p><p>TD & DH: After about a week you realize that along with the insanity of breaking all the rules, everybody in cars move with a determined sense of caution, which often makes traffic ooze instead of move. The merge thing is part of that ooze. Those whom are a little less cautious will simply get around those who are a little more cautious.</p><p>Crossing streets - especially large streets - the dynamic changes with crowds. The crossing is simply done in the form of safety by numbers. Where the lead - least cautious - walkers take the risk and lead the way for the rest of the group. Crossing a street alone is pretty much what I described though.</p><p>DH: I think HongKong tracks more closely to Brittan - as they were the law of the land until fairly recently. Audio crossing is definitely a downtown London sound.</p><p>UD: Hey, everyone&mldr; It&rsquo;s my Uncle! &mldr; I&rsquo;m still working out how to get some photos in the blog, there are lots of sites that can help don&rsquo;t exactly agree with me from here (either intermittent or non-existent).</p></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a

One from Japan the other from Singapore. They also wanted to go shopping, then eat, and I didn’t have anything better to do…\nOne Thing I Really Don’t Like In traffic back home, if someone speeds up into a merge lane, and tries to get ahead of everyone else - it’s considered rude, and overall the majority of people will not do that. Here, merging and even changing lanes is an art of war. It seems to be the responsibility of the least overtly aggressive driver to get out of the way… back to merging though. Imagine that merge lane, where it is simply considered by everyone the preferred place to be. Go to the front, merge aggressively, and everyone else will wait. Except, someone has just swung around the far side of the person who is doing the aggressive merge - so now the lane is two cars wide (and the bicycle lane is mostly gone). Then what really caught me off guard, is when a full size bus came all the way around - driving partly on grass to make that merge lane three deep, and cut in front of everybody.\nA side effect of this merge process is that the bicycles - which there are actually fewer bikes than cars, but there are still many bicycles - have no where to go, so they simply start weaving through the traffic randomly.\nAnd crossing the street is a game of timing and nerves. If you can’t cross the street before the cars will get to you, judge the aggressiveness of the driver against the aggressiveness of the car that’s already coming at you from the other lane. Step in front of the less aggressive car, and they will slow down. Imagine this in an intersection where there are 30 people crossing the street this way, often deciding on different “less agressive” and with little regard to crossing lights. Conclusion… traffic sucks.\nShopping Went to Wal-Mart. Three levels, and only the top level looked like anything resembling a Wal-Mart in the states. Grocery in the basement, clothes and electronics on the top level, other stuff and checkouts on the main level.\nFood Afterwards, dinner across the street from the Wal-Mart. The waitress offered to take our bags, and then jokes that she would take them home. I totally got it from the body language alone. Dinner over here with other people means that many dishes are ordered, and everybody eats a little of everything. This works out especially well if you don’t like something particular. There was this sweet and sour sparerib dish that looked really good in the picture, and was mostly a pile of bones on the plate. Otherwise there were two potato dishes, and a green vegetable (hard to say what it was - but it was green, and fully cooked, so I ate it).\n","wordCount":"500","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-18T12:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-18T12:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/big-night/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

Potato Bread, cottage, Italian sesame loaf, split top country, English muffins, bagels; hard or soft, biscuits; dropped or cut. Even the low carb options that are not really bread at all would be much appreciated in this place of rice and noodles.\nWait though, it’s not that bread doesn’t exist. There’s a lot of bread here. I just don’t recognize most of it. Bread here is usually sweet. I tried some Bimbo bread (Bimbo is based in South America)… I figured South Americans wouldn’t screw with bread. Sweet, almost a smell of sugar. Just doesn’t work with a ham sandwich, cheese and mayo.\nFinally, I found a type of bread called “Morning Breakfast” that’s the closest thing to “bread” as I know it - a pretty standard white bread. It comes in mini packages of 6 slices for as much as twice that much of most other kinds. I pay the premium.\nKFC MWM, It’s pretty much the same. Colonel Harland Sanders secret recipe was not screwed with. However, I’ve not delved beyond the original recipe sandwiches. There’s lots on the menu that I don’t recognize, but I didn’t go to KFC because I was feeling adventurous. It was wholly a need for something familiar. Haven’t been to Cold Stone, DQ or Haagen Dazs yet.\nChinese Food I can be quoted as saying, “a billion people can’t be wrong,” when people asked me how I would handle the food over here. Turns out that a lot of the billion go to Thai and Korean restaurants. Ultimately, there’s a lot of “normal” food here that is sometimes difficult to stomach because of what it is (not how it tastes), like pork blood noodles (usually served with mostly wheat noodles, but present for flavor). There’s another set of food that’s hard to take because the tastes are just hard to deal with, I blogged about some of these in “Adventures with Hairy Crab in China”. I had a street vendor flat bread, with Sesame seeds on it. It had the taste of eggs, and was warm - 1 yuan for a decent sized piece. I’m betting that the locals can pay even less for it, but I’m not about to attempt to bargain at my skill level not for something so inexpensive. I’ve had great Thai, Japanese and Korean BBQ here. I had some “O.K.” Chinese food, but as they say… nothing to write home about.\n","wordCount":"421","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-29T14:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-29T14:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/food-impressions/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

Singapore girl (whom was part of Thursday’s dinner) heard that Hairy Crab was in season and that this particular restaurant had it. A quick search on the internet wasn’t very promising, but I promised myself I’d keep an open mind. So, off we went in two cabs (there’s a four person limit per cab, and we were a party of 5). Only two in the party know enough Mandarin to talk to people, so I rode with Singapore Girl - who has the stronger skills.\nSG and Chinese London Girl (CLG) ordered stuff for the group. The Other American (OA) and London Dude (LD) were also there. The food started to arrive.\nThere was this sliced beef with onion and green peppers - which SG and CLG ordered for us non-Asians (neither of them eat cows).\nFried chicken bones, which was basically joints and cartilage deep fried with cashews. I tried one, and wasn’t able to take the cartilage part, so I spit that out. It tasted like Fried Chicken should - it just didn’t have any muscle.\nThere was this chicken broth and mushroom soup. The mushrooms were not a type that I recognized, and were decidedly tough and stringy.\nChicken dumplings. Like chicken pot pie back home, except the “crust” is similar to a large soup wanton noodle instead. Mmmm.\nPapaya, Ginger and Fish. The Papaya was whole, but also formed a sauce with chunks of ginger and rings of fish fat (that is to say, it’s the fat layer off of a fish - under the skin and above the meat. I tried this too, and didn’t really like it. Papaya is very strong, but I liked the ginger bit.\nHairy crab. Well, that’s what the menu said, but SG was immediately convinced that it wasn’t really hairy crab at all. She went through it looking for something to eat and really couldn’t find anything. Myself, I ate a few tiny skinny legs worth of meat, but couldn’t find anything substantial either.\nAt this point, OA and LD were both thinking that I’m just crazy for listening to these Asian folks at all. Dessert came and there were custard pies (which LD really liked) and durian puffs. Whether or not anybody would eat it became a joke. CLG took a video of me trying while quietly laughing. .. At the table they suggested that another name for it was Jack Fruit, but it turns out (thanks Google) that it’s definitely durian. It wouldn’t take long to get used to, but I really wasn’t in the mood with a camera in my face.\nReally - nobody really liked any of the food (which wasn’t cheap by local standards). It was approx $30 each. The service was good, and the presentation was great, but as SG said, “It’s not Szechuan”.\nCleaning the Palette Afterwards OA went back to the hotel, and the remaining four of us went to a bar for a few drinks.

I spend the next 45 minutes watching the end of Karate Kid 2, dubbed in Mandarin, with Chinese sub-titles. I was totally lost until the big dramatic fight scene at the end.\nI found an English speaking news channel on television. I love watching news from places where I’m not from. It seems like a long format news station (much like a news magazine). The perspective is not nearly as anti-American as American news is anti-Everyone_Else. It really struck me as to the difference in news styles. It was more like the BBC. It was more like, well, news.\nMy head is fuzzy, but I don’t feel tired yet. So I take a shower.\nI have to stop here, and say that – as you can tell, I’ve not felt very positive about my experiences so far – this shower in my hotel room is really, really nice. It has a double shower head switchable to a hand-held shower head. It just feels nice. The water pressure is really strong, too.\nI go down to eat the hotel breakfast:\n 2 steamed buns with different fillings 2 pieces of “baked bacon” 1 Fairly McDonald’s style potato cake (they call it potato pie) 1 piece of very British tasting sausage 1 Hard Boiled brown egg 1 French style croissant  There’s another American here that I’m supposed to be able to meet up with, and at 10 in the morning I call him up. Of course, he’s younger than me so he’s sleeping, and says he’ll call me back later.\nThis is the point where the jet lag really starts bugging me. I’m all restless, but tired too. I start to watch some DVDs that I took with me (there’s a DVD player in my room). About 1pm, I’m totally annoyed that I didn’t get a call back, and decide to go see what I can find.\nI’ll start by simply saying that I walked in the wrong direction. I didn’t know it then. I did find a 7-11, a McDonalds, someplace called Big Pizza, and a Dairy Queen - all along a road that was so wide it had pedestrian bridges across it at regular intervals. I totally didn’t bring the camera (should have).\nOn the way back to the Hotel, I stopped by the 7-11 and bought a can of Pringles, some Laundry Soap and a liter of “Coke Light”. When I got back here, I puttered around a little, drank some Coke Light, ate half the Pringles, cleaned my dirty clothes (not much, but wanted to figure out how the machine worked) - it’s a “Washer / Dryer”, and all of the instructions are in Chinese, so I sort of guessed, and ended up with clean dry clothes two hours later.\nI ate some Ramen noodle type thing for Dinner (the hotel had a few items that they started me off with - including tea bags and bottled water). About 9PM, the other American called me back, and told me that he had fallen back to sleep, and didn’t wake up until 2, and that he had tried calling then. We made arrangements to meet up in the morning.\nTired and fuzzy, and having taken no useful pictures… I went to bed. Tomorrow is the first day at work.\n","wordCount":"596","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-15T12:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-15T12:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/getting-there-is-not-half-the-fun/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

I was reluctantly invited to go along, after being told many times that it would be a lot of up and down, and it’s very strenuous…\nGubeikou The group starts off at a break-neck pace, and I become winded almost immediately. I think, “this is not a good sign”. Then we start heading up this very steep trail, I find myself and two others are lagging behind already. The rear trail master (there are three) tells us to take our time, and rest if we need to (but we haven’t been walking for more than 10 minutes).\nAdvise or not, I had to stop twice. Finally, I made it to the top of the wall. As I go from one tower to another (down and up), I note that I’m lagging behind the bulk of the group. The two with me becomes one ahead, and one behind (with the tail trail master).\nMilitary Base Leads to Up-Close Rural Life So, I reach the point on the wall that guards an active military base. Note how they built a barrier on top of the wall to make sure we don’t go past.\nThe Hike Leaves the Trail here to walk around in the valleys and past the base. During this part of the hike (downhill without a stone walk), I make up some time, and I was actually jogging in some areas.\nIn some ways this was the most interesting part of the hike. We went through two little rural villages - lots of pictures, starting here.\nAfter about an hour of this, I found the mid trail master waiting for me with two other hikers that doubled back a bit. They asked me how far behind the rear trail master was, and they had been two towers behind when I left the wall, and I hadn’t seen them since.\nBack up to the wall So, the greater bulk of the hiking group were here pausing a little before going up an even steeper trail than any I’d done before. They had already rested, and bounded up the hill. It was like a goat trail, criss crossing up a steep hill. I didn’t get any pictures of this - can’t really see the trail anyway. There are some shots of the view looking back over the trail though.\nLunch By the time I got to the lunch tower, the rest of the group had been there for 15 minutes. But the person at the tail never caught up while we were there. While I sat eating my sandwiches, and drinking more water, my legs started hurting. Then, just then, we were off again. Second tower on, the mid trail master was walking with me, and I almost lost my balance a few times. My legs were cramping, and I was trying to work through it.\nThe rest of the group was already two towers ahead. By the fourth tower, the mid trail master said he was going to leave me to option 1 with the rear trail master and the other slow hiker. The mid trail master, was now the new rear trail master. I was disappointed with myself, but also knew that I realistically couldn’t have done the full hike.\nJin Shan Ling Park When I finally made it to the border of Jin Shan Ling Park (Actually, I’m still not sure, nobody was there to check the ticket I had) - I’m guessing in that I spotted a trash can in that tower, and this is where evidence of restoration work was noticeable. Two towers from here, I stopped\n I saw the parking lot. A minute later, the rear trail guide called to me to make sure I wouldn’t go any further, as this was our exit.  Ride to Si Ma Tai Me and the other slowpoke rode in a hired van with the rear trail-master to a restaurant at Simatai. It was a 40 minute drive, and when we arrived we still had an hour and a half of waiting for the rest of the hiking party. I definitely could not have made the journey.\nI had a lot of time here to take shots of the Simatai wall.\n","wordCount":"740","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-28T14:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-28T14:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/great-wall-hike/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

It’s tall enough to require them if the building were in a flight path, but there are buildings as tall around it, and they don’t seem to need strobe lights. Hmph. So, I close the hotel curtains all the way. If I strain, I can still sense the strobe, but with the curtains drawn and my eyelids closed, it doesn’t exist. Zzzz…\nWoke up a little panicked … it must be full daylight outside. It feels so “late”. I draw the curtains a little… Of course not. 5:10AM is quite an improvement over yesterday, maybe I’ll be able to face this work thing. Head down for the Hotel’s breakfast. No hard boiled eggs today, but they have sliced cold peppered beef and sautéed vegetables. Interesting. That and more steamed buns, and add a bowl of corn flake cereal. I poured a glass of some sort of juice… turned out to be peach.\nHead back up to the room to grab the computer and my camera, and back to the lobby. That other guy shows up two minutes later, and someone else from the office comes too. We all share a taxi to the office. The day is very clear. Not at all as smoggy as it was when the jet landed. Blue skies, and lots to see. I take pictures of lots of things, but the most interesting things I see - I end up with photos of large buses.\nI catch a glimpse of the Summer Palace, and a huge, official looking building with a rocket in front of it (Saturn V size maybe). Got a picture of the tip of that rocket. Get off this big road on an exit marked ‘Converge Wild Land’. A few kilometers later, and we pass horses in the street. The homes and store-fronts are decidedly run down, and I start to wonder if we could really be going to the high tech software seat of China.\nZhongGuanCun Software Park, Beijing We drive through a guarded gate, and there’s two buildings that have something that could only be described as a flying saucer propped up over the gap between them. Those and most other buildings in the immediate area are under construction. Work is not far past here.\nWay to make a first impression… I arrive and there’s about an hour before the “visit kickoff” meeting. I start setting up my computer, pull out a power strip, and plug in my laptop. Hmm, the laptop isn’t seeing power. I thought I was being smart by bringing along a power strip so that I could use multiple electronics (all of which are auto-switching voltage items, laptop, phone charger, etc). Turns out the power strip itself couldn’t deal with the voltage, and fried - blowing the circuit breaker. I didn’t realize that was what happened, until the power was back on, and I plugged the powerstrip in again. The facilities guy, who didn’t speak any English, came over grabbed the power strip and read the back, shaking his head and saying many, many soft words to my host.\nI knew he was scolding my stupidity. I apologized to my host.\nThe kick off meeting turns out to be a meeting in which I am supposed to be the leader. The person who called the meeting, my host, immediately became my center of attention as I get him to tell me what my agenda is (as he called the meeting, and my laptop never really got running). So, I write all of this down on a giant white board, and start going through the Agenda points one by one. Overall, I think I did pretty well considering I didn’t know what to expect.\nHaidan District Trip home it was dark, so I didn’t really see anything that I’d recognize. Lots of lights on buildings, some pretty cool. Went to dinner with the other American. Opposite direction from the way I had walked previously, and a few blocks away there’s this “City Mall” – clearly labeled in English. We went to this place called Pastarito. I used my first Mandarin words to a non-English speaker here. I ordered Lasagne (by asking for number 28). A small proud moment.\nAfterwards we found the grocery / super store (and attached Mall). I bought some more Coke Light, and the other guy bought Peanut Butter and bread. I will probably return soon to do a full grocery run.\n","wordCount":"760","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-15T12:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-15T12:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/reporting-for-duty/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

It’s tall enough to require them if the building were in a flight path, but there are buildings as tall around it, and they don’t seem to need strobe lights. Hmph. So, I close the hotel curtains all the way. If I strain, I can still sense the strobe, but with the curtains drawn and my eyelids closed, it doesn’t exist. Zzzz…\nWoke up a little panicked … it must be full daylight outside. It feels so “late”. I draw the curtains a little… Of course not. 5:10AM is quite an improvement over yesterday, maybe I’ll be able to face this work thing. Head down for the Hotel’s breakfast. No hard boiled eggs today, but they have sliced cold peppered beef and sautéed vegetables. Interesting. That and more steamed buns, and add a bowl of corn flake cereal. I poured a glass of some sort of juice… turned out to be peach.\nHead back up to the room to grab the computer and my camera, and back to the lobby. That other guy shows up two minutes later, and someone else from the office comes too. We all share a taxi to the office. The day is very clear. Not at all as smoggy as it was when the jet landed. Blue skies, and lots to see. I take pictures of lots of things, but the most interesting things I see - I end up with photos of large buses.\nI catch a glimpse of the Summer Palace, and a huge, official looking building with a rocket in front of it (Saturn V size maybe). Got a picture of the tip of that rocket. Get off this big road on an exit marked ‘Converge Wild Land’. A few kilometers later, and we pass horses in the street. The homes and store-fronts are decidedly run down, and I start to wonder if we could really be going to the high tech software seat of China.\nZhongGuanCun Software Park, Beijing We drive through a guarded gate, and there’s two buildings that have something that could only be described as a flying saucer propped up over the gap between them. Those and most other buildings in the immediate area are under construction. Work is not far past here.\nWay to make a first impression… I arrive and there’s about an hour before the “visit kickoff” meeting. I start setting up my computer, pull out a power strip, and plug in my laptop. Hmm, the laptop isn’t seeing power. I thought I was being smart by bringing along a power strip so that I could use multiple electronics (all of which are auto-switching voltage items, laptop, phone charger, etc). Turns out the power strip itself couldn’t deal with the voltage, and fried - blowing the circuit breaker. I didn’t realize that was what happened, until the power was back on, and I plugged the powerstrip in again. The facilities guy, who didn’t speak any English, came over grabbed the power strip and read the back, shaking his head and saying many, many soft words to my host.\nI knew he was scolding my stupidity. I apologized to my host.\nThe kick off meeting turns out to be a meeting in which I am supposed to be the leader. The person who called the meeting, my host, immediately became my center of attention as I get him to tell me what my agenda is (as he called the meeting, and my laptop never really got running). So, I write all of this down on a giant white board, and start going through the Agenda points one by one. Overall, I think I did pretty well considering I didn’t know what to expect.\nHaidan District Trip home it was dark, so I didn’t really see anything that I’d recognize. Lots of lights on buildings, some pretty cool. Went to dinner with the other American. Opposite direction from the way I had walked previously, and a few blocks away there’s this “City Mall” – clearly labeled in English. We went to this place called Pastarito. I used my first Mandarin words to a non-English speaker here. I ordered Lasagne (by asking for number 28). A small proud moment.\nAfterwards we found the grocery / super store (and attached Mall). I bought some more Coke Light, and the other guy bought Peanut Butter and bread. I will probably return soon to do a full grocery run.\n","wordCount":"760","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-15T12:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-15T12:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/reporting-for-duty/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

 Considering timezones, I landed 26 hours after I took off, with no sleep to speak of.

This must be one of the ‘bad’ smog days.\nI remembered to take some pictures of the Airport terminal on the way to customs.\nMy employer was nice enough to arrange for me, a ride from the Beijing Airport to the Hotel. A very nice gentleman who didn’t speak any English but “This way”, “Please” and “Thank you” was holding a sign with my name once I got past customs into the main area.\nHe grabbed two of my three bags, and started walking me towards where he parked the van. As we left the Airport, there was a certain smell. It was not particularly strong, but it was particularly industrial. I couldn’t smell it after an hour, and only notice it now for a minute or two after walking outside. I imagine after another day, I probably won’t notice it at all.\nWe got to the Hotel van (a Buick minivan), and he started driving. Merging - I notice immediately is a factor of who’s front bumper is in the space first. It seems to be the responsibility of the slightly slower person to slow down more to let in the more aggressive driver. Even out of the toll gate where several lanes have to merge all at once. I didn’t get a picture of that though. I did get a picture of the Beijing Ikea store, an MG dealership and a glimpse of the Olympic Stadium.\nI got here, and the service was very good, but even the English speaking front desk staff were very difficult to understand. They had to repeat themselves several times while explaining to me the various charges they were putting on my credit card. The housekeeping staff said hi to me, but I had a very, very hard time understanding what they were asking me to do. They were all patient with me (Cultural training note: In China, it is considered the listener’s responsibility to understand, not the speaker’s responsibility to clarify), and I eventually did what they needed me to do (sign an inventory form).\nI took several pictures of the hotel room, and a close-up of the TV and DVD player remotes. I unpacked, used every hanger in the room - and almost all of the drawer and shelf space. I called my wife, and Emailed several people (after getting my laptop connected), and finally went to bed around 9PM local time.\n","wordCount":"432","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-14T12:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-14T12:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/10/welcome-to-beijing.../"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

It took nearly three hours by bus, through mountains (and one unexpected detour due to construction). We left just after 9AM. However, once we arrived it was totally different from anything I had expected…\nThe Parking Lot We arrived just before noon. The team building game that was supposed to happen right when we arrived, ended up getting pushed to days' end. I feel really bad for the guys who took the bag of balls all the way to Frog Rock and back. More on that later.\nWe milled around the restaurant areas until we figured out where we all actually had made the reservation… Finally we found the right door. It was an empty dining room like all the other doors, but this was “our” empty dining room.\nLunch So, first up was lunch. “Oh, this is country food,” exclaimed a disappointed co-worker nearby. I wouldn’t have been phased if this were another ex-pat like myself. No, this was a local Chinese woman who was being polite enough to say it in English so that wait staff wouldn’t understand. I must say that I’m glad I braced myself for what was ahead, and grabbed more rice than usual (which means as much rice as everyone around me).\nIn China (at least around Beijing), it seems that the habit is to bring rice last, unless it’s asked for. So it was specifically requested early.\nThe food was endless, in that one dish after another uneatable dish came out. But that’s not fair, there were a few vegetables that I liked, and a few pieces of meat had enough actual flesh that I could nibble a taste without swallowing bone or cartilage. There was a soup that nobody around me could take more than a bite of, and a cold porridge that had the consistency of a swallowed sneeze. The second of which I tried (before I knew what it felt like going down). Then there was a fish that seemed like everyone’s favorite, but it was covered in something black, and I was too done with the lunch to dare ask.\nThis lunch is what made me realize that there’s a limit to my ability to try new things. The limit is around 15 minutes where I can not mentally take any more. I will note that the bus driver really enjoyed everything served. Nobody knew where he was from, but everyone assumed he was from the mountains just West of Beijing.\nThe Parking Lot (again) Next we milled around the parking lot trying to figure out where to go next. There are grass slides that most of the guys (outnumbered nearly 2 to 1) wanted to go on, and there was a sign that pointed to a big gate that said “Go here for check ticket”, and it must have said something similar in Chinese because we all stood near there expecting something to start happening. The door opened, and someone yelled, someone else yelled, and finally someone yelled “get out of the way”, and the cart drove through bringing grass sleds up from the bottom (having driven around a hill and up from the bottom).\nSo then someone figured out where we were supposed to go. There’s a train ride to the actual gorge section, and you get on from the other north corner of the parking lot. So, we started our journey beyond the parking lot and into the park.\nTrain Ride So a pleasant narrow gauge ride, 6 minutes at a very slow pace. The ride was fairly scenic if you look beyond the grass slides and the parking lot/restaurants. The hills and mountains surrounding the area are very beautiful. It was a really nice day, and I could see quite a long way. Finally, the train brought us to a big cement wall, which is a dam. There are 99 steps to the top of this dam. On the other side, and 2/3 of the way down the wall is where the water is. I knew that waterfalls wouldn’t be as big in the fall, but this tiny amount of water here had me a little worried.\nInto the Gorge There’s a sign that says ’this way to the waterfall’, except the English wasn’t quite right, and the trail led up-river over a very rickety hand-welded and rusting walk-way. Dangling us over the water that usually isn’t so low. I note that as the heaviest person, everyone followed at least a meter back, and I was somehow leading. Even while protesting that I don’t really have to go so cautiously. Someone remarked that I was just kidding around, but that observation was only half true. I was really quite worried about the safety of this structure.\nSure, it’s a gorge, and I expected steep sides, but I guess I didn’t expect the whole thing to feel so cramped.\nAnother Dam Here we find another cement wall. This one wasn’t as tall as the first, but starts to define what I’ve come to expect anywhere I go in China, more stairs. The top of this is a full pond with paddle-boats, and some are shaped like swans. There’s a big line here, so about half of the group decided to explore a little further. The path goes two ways, of course, we go up the stairs, instead of going straight and flat.\nGazebo with a Pagoda Roof Probably the best views of the day were here. I could have left here and been fully satisfied. Of course, there was the waterfall that the photos promised.\nPaddle Boating Back to the pond, and the paddle boating. I was explicitly instructed to sit in the middle of the boat on one side. This is a bit embarrassing, mostly because from this position, I was unable to paddle. I had two girls opposite me both on the paddle peddles. This didn’t keep me from trying anyway - I got a few minutes in, but my feet were too big to keep up the angles necessary, so I was relegated to passenger.\nWe had a half-an-hour, around the pond, and still had 20 minutes left. We got together with another boat, and held on, then two more boats joined up, so we had a four boat wide flotilla in the pond. We went back and forth this way a little before being called back.\nAs we left to walk further, the next people out were hooking their boats together (we may have started something)!\nOn to the Waterfall So the bulk of the group walked down the straight path (which still mostly went “up”, and along a trickling stream. Some of the group stayed here to just enjoy sitting. Had I known this, I may have joined them, but I was still near the front of the pack, moving on. There were some bridges, and places where we had to jump across the creek. Then we came to the trickle. It was a fairly high waterfall, but there wasn’t a lot of water. It was pretty, and you could definitely see the potential for a great spring view, but wasn’t really spectacular in this form.\nI went up a staircase to the top of the falls, to look down, and expected that this would be the end of our experience. Then the ranking member of the group saw a sign about a scenic overlook some many meters ahead, and decided that we should drive on.\nThe Path to Frog Rock This is where I start falling behind the group. The path was a lot of “uphill”, and not a lot of “flat”. I kept going. I passed a few people who had decided to stop along the way and wait for the groups return. I was determined to not be left behind, so I kept going. I caught up to the group again at the second of a few stair-cases (made of rusty metal bound by bamboo), and lost them again not to far later. Someone said it was only 20 more minutes further. 15 minutes later, someone said it was only 20 minutes further.\nFinally, we made it to something called “Frog Rock”. It was decided at this point that it was too late in the day, and that we would have to turn back. I took a group photo (without me in it), and we left to head back down the trail.\nThere was a big bag full of balls and prizes, and no place flat to do the “game”. A few people kept volunteering to carry this bag, and had taken it all this way, just to take it back to the parking lot again.\nWay Back It had been about 1 and a half hours of walking to get up to Frog Rock. It took 20 minutes to get back. I took some pictures, but we mostly just walked. We got back to the train, and took the last ride out of the gorge to the parking lot (there was a foot-path, but nobody wanted to have to do that).\nSlide I decided to ride the grass slide. This was a whole lot of fun, but there’s no photographic evidence that I did it. I can simply attest to the 300 stair steps back up the hill to get back to the top again. I could have taken a second ride, but it simply didn’t seem worth more stairs.\nParking Lot So there was a toss the ball game. Two groups, and the idea was to pass three different sized balls around the group in order, and whichever group got the balls around the most times would win. Then we went back to the bus.\nI won a prize on the bus ride for knowing how to spell Eminem. I spelled it both ways, the second… (M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L M-A-T-H-E-R-S). Everyone was confused as to how I knew his real name. I absolved myself from any more questions. It was unfair. I know English much better than anyone else there.\n","wordCount":"1741","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-11-08T12:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-11-08T12:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/11/double-dragon-gorge/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

Just the cursory stuff that everyone can easily look up. Of course, what everyone was looking for was a way for me to communicate the “experience” of Halloween. To my mind, this isn’t really possible. I hope my reluctance to share hasn’t been taken as rude… it’s just not easy to express…\nTo me, most of the “experience” of Halloween is gained from having grown up in a country where you “dress up” as your favorite character, and go door to door asking for candy. There isn’t much more to it for me, once I grew up. The time when scary movies are usually released, the time to buy some candy for any trick-or-treaters that will come by. There’s pumpkin carving (which I really don’t enjoy much). Otherwise, it’s just another day.\nWhile it was never my intention, outside of work, I’ve fallen into the habit of hanging out with people who are not from here. Most of them also stay at my hotel, so I’ll share a ride home, and then we might also catch dinner. Some of them I’ve met through other people who are far more outgoing than I am. The people at the hotel that I know are from many countries; UK (more of these than any other group), Germany, New Zealand, Japan, Singapore, India, and Australia. Then there’s me and the other American.\nSo, some of the people at the hotel suggested having a Halloween party. Having a party on Wednesday night is not a particularly good idea, but it went ahead anyway. There is a room that used to be a bar in the hotel that we used, and the format was pot-luck.\nI searched the local grocery for things I recognize, and I decided to make deep fried Chicken Wings. Tobasco sauce is available from the imports section, so I made them Buffalo style. Simple party food. The apartment still smells like fry oil though.\nNobody attempted to dress up or anything. Overall the party was a lot of fun, but I stayed up way too late for a work night.\n","wordCount":"382","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-11-04T12:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-11-04T12:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/11/my-halloween/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

So, this Friday we agreed to meet on Saturday morning, and she would show me around the area of the Lama Temple.\nMorning Meeting November 10, 2007\nWe agreed to meet at a KFC (not “the KFC”, but one a block away) between 10:30 and 10:45. She arrived about 10 minutes after I did apologizing that she was very late. There is no possible way that she was more than 1 minute late. She told me a little about the Temple, and then we went and found a taxi.\nLama Temple This is a very active place of Buddhist worship, and even though it was quite active, it was clear that I was unnoticed. Tourists are very common here, and I took the tack of observing and trying to stay out of the way while trying to see as much as I could.\nThis place is incredibly amazing. Foremost for how active it is. It’s full of life and hopes and wishes, and the earnestness of those whom gather here. Second is because of the art and statues. Buddha and many other devas in many sizes and colors, are all there to see, and to pay homage to.\nI was advised that it’s impolite to photograph within the halls (and various signs also advised against it), so I have some photographs of the buildings, and a few photographs of things that are outside of the halls, but only postcards representing a few of the many, many treasures inside.\nI found this to be an amazing place, and an amazing experience. One which I will not soon forget.\nLunch So we went to a restaurant, “Jin Ding Xuan”(金鼎轩), not far from the temple, and ordered several small dishes of things. I forgot to take pictures of the restaurant or food, but the place was reasonably priced, and had very good food. My host wanted to eat chicken claws, and this was the only thing I tried that I didn’t care for. Chicken claws are mostly bone, and the flesh is very fatty. It’s mostly like eating chicken-skin, with the additional joy of picking a little chicken talon out from between my teeth. Otherwise, the food was excellent.\nConfucius Temple Much less active, and very nearby is the Confucius Temple. From what I could gather it is mostly an ancient school where emperors would learn the skills required to lead. This place did not have a particularly spiritual feeling - but there was not a great deal of active worship to give this place a feeling of reverence. Photography was either allowed or not expressly prohibited, so I did get some photos of the inside of the main hall. There were a great deal of exotic musical instruments and wooden tablets placed in curtained coves. These were the only points where it appeared that this place has a deeper purpose.\nIn a side hall there was a display discussing the life of Confucius. I read a lot, but the English translations were often painful to read, and sometimes made no sense at all. My guide was of some help here, but there was a lot to see in a small space, and the temple grounds were about to close.\nA Public Thank You… I deeply hope I was not imposing myself in any way. My guide was very kind in extending the offer, and it took all of her Saturday to show me things. I cannot begin to say how much I appreciate the time and patience it took to try to explain things to me all day. To my guide… “Thank you, again.”\n","wordCount":"625","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-11-11T14:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-11-11T14:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/11/yonghegong-lama-temple/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

 To My Readers&mldr; I have not posted in 30 days. Sorry about that&mldr;
 For someone who reads my blog, but has not spent time in North America, something is missing. That person is without an understanding of the North American version of &rsquo;expected&rsquo;. Many of my posts, especially my earliest posts, are written from a North American perspective on what is &rsquo;expected'.

Sorry about that…\nFor someone who reads my blog, but has not spent time in North America, something is missing. That person is without an understanding of the North American version of ’expected’. Many of my posts, especially my earliest posts, are written from a North American perspective on what is ’expected'.\nFor those of you who actually know me well, I probably mentioned that I wanted to use this site to capture first impressions… things that I found interesting, because they are different from the way things are where I come from (the US).\nAs I fully expected – I’m not really surprised by much anymore. I was here for 30 days, and my entries became a list of “here are the things that I did.” I was hoping to keep having stories of things that were funny to me, because they are unexpected.\nSomething else also happened around 30 days ago. Several people that I work with in China started to ask about my blog. I got five people with various forms of the question, “Why don’t you like it in China?” If you were one of the sources … don’t be embarrassed, you are not alone. Clearly, I placed a few too many ’expectations’ to make things sound ‘wrong’.\nIn reality - the only thing I have been disappointed about is bread. Bread that tastes like US bread is so hard to find. I did find a brand and type, but it’s usually out of stock at the local HyperMarket. It is “close enough”.\nDone? I don’t think so, not completely, but maybe. I have a few things in the back of my mind about shopping and food, but nothing about these things is interesting enough for me to write about now. I still have a while to go.\nPhotos The connection at the hotel sucks. I am still uploading photos. Some newer ones have even made it to the “Public” photo pages. I’m trying to comment those as they go up, but I’m very far behind in that, too.\n","wordCount":"357","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-12-11T12:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-12-11T12:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/in-china/2007/12/30-days/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

 First, all book reviews (even short ones) now include the tag book-reviews.  That is, if I'm telling you what I think about a book, it is a book review.  There are also short-book-reviews on some.

 This book follows the protagonist, Henry Lee both as a 13 year old in 1943, and an adult in 1986.  If you have been reading my reviews for a while, you'll note that I get picky when time starts jumping around, and I'm really happy to say that this book gets this simple detail absolutely right: Every chapter title includes the year....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2019-01-09 12:00:00 -0500 -0500">9 Jan 2019</span>&nbsp;·&nbsp;3 min&nbsp;·&nbsp;Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to [Book] Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2019/01/hotel-on-the-corner-of-bitter-and-sweet/></a></article><article class=post-entry><header class=entry-header><h2>[Book] Euphemania by Ralph Keyes</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>Book Cover I love puns, and this is a book about the grandfather of puns... the good ole euphemism.  This book moves smoothly from subject to subject bringing up lots of history.  It is sometimes funny, but it doesn't overplay.  Overall, it's a pretty serious book about the very human desire to avoid talking directly about certain subjects.

We are not in an era of extremes - not as extreme as the late 60s represented. That was Nixon's time - and the call for \"normal\" was powerful and uniting then.

Who would bother getting out of the house to vote for someone who doesn't think there's much to do.\nThe Press\nThe press is quick to seek out the exciting story, the political outsider that says something that sounds radical, but almost makes sense if you haven't thought it through. These radicals are the basis for our political system as it now stands. A candidate that says, \"Let's try to carefully maintain what we already have,\" just doesn't make for a lead story.\nThere are political groups that regularly get press for saying poorly thought out ideas. Green Party candidates have a long list of decent ideas ignored after being quoted as saying something similar to, \"everyone should be required to ride a bicycle to work.\" Besides the impracticality of this on an \"everyone\" scale, and the implications it would carry for public transportation, and those who don't know how to ride a bicycle - or physically can't ... This is the only idea that gets press. The one that is likely to alienate most of the voting public.\nWhat Issues\nSo we are left with picking politicians based on issues. In my view, most important issues, have very few points of debate. It is usually a case where the desired end-point is well agreed, but the road to get there is hotly debated. This is like the primary rifts between Liberals and Conservatives. In any case, when the desired end-point is the same, it's really hard for anybody to really care what the differences are. That's when the road becomes an attack point by the other side. Why does the road become an attack point? See \"The Press\" above.\nThe side affect of attacking the road is that the issue becomes side-lined for the debate about how one road is inherently evil, while the other is inherently good. Those that follow these debates closely, and the only ones who would bother commenting, are the same ones who believe that the issue \"is\" the road, and not the end-point. These people, by majority, are radicals.\nWhat Remains\nWhat remains are the issues that are deeply entrenched, and unlikely to be solved by any single election or candidate. Abortion, Death Penalty, and War Ending. All are good for quick headlines, but all of these types of issues are the ones that a great deal of people have strong opinions about. In most of these cases, both sides are right about all of the issues that they talk about.\nSo, we are left with a system where only the radicals get heard, and only the skillful candidates that can express enthusiasm and empathy about nothing in particular are the most likely to be elected. How sad is that?\nWin an election based on personality alone... a pretty radical idea, if you think about it. When that sort of person gets into office, the only voices they hear are the radical think tanks.\nThe Majority\nThe majority will not be heard, because the Majority does not think things need to be radically changed, and so few think it's important to speak out in support of what they already have.

On 11 June 1776, more than a year after the war had begun, the delegates to the Continental Congress appointed a committee of five, and they got started on the serious work of making a formal declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson did most of the writing, and the decision to ratify a Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 2, 1776.

So, I'm not likely to try that.\nWhat I do not like:\nThere is not a way to launch a Virtual Machine without using an Apache-Tomcat servlet through a web browser. This seems terribly inefficient when I am simply trying to load a local VM on a local machine. Inside the web based VMWare management tool, there is a button to create a link to this virtual machine on your desktop. This shortcut, once created, will attach to (and, if necessary, start) the virtual machine without needing to start a web browser. This is still slower to load than the old VMWare server interface was.\nThe \"fat client\" , player style interface that used to be available for VMWare Server 1.x has been replaced with a browser plug-in loaded console screen that is very painfully slow to load , it feels like bad java back in the day... If launching a virtual machine console viewer from inside the browser interface, it takes a painfully long time to load and launch. The operating system will be having no problem starting up as I'm waiting for this thing to finally display. By the time the console opens for me, the login prompt is already waiting ... EVEN with a Windows XP guest OS. This is much better when launching from the desktop link.\nWhere I gave VMWare-server 1 (****) four out of five stars, I give the VMWare-server 2 (beta) (***^) three and a half out of five.\nTo be fair, I have little doubt that this console will be improved before the final version releases. I just wanted to let my early opinion be known.

 style interface that used to be available for VMWare Server 1.x has been replaced with a browser plug-in loaded console screen that is very painfully slow to load

I felt safer in every part of Beijing than I do in downtown Minneapolis. The news outlets don't really say that enough while sharing this bit of news. Actual physical attacks on foreigners are very unusual in Beijing. Like any large city, crimes of opportunity are common, but confrontational attacks against foreigners are incredibly rare.\nTodd Bachman, his wife Barbara, and their Chinese guide -- who's name has not been reported, as far as I can find -- were attacked and stabbed at the historic Beijing Drum Tower on 9 Aug, 2008 at 12:20 pm Beijing time. Todd Bachman died of his injuries. Barbara Bachman underwent emergency surgery, and is said to be in serious, but stable, condition.\nTo most of the world, as the China Daily reports, he was an American tourist, and family member to a US Olympic coach.\nTo the rest of the country, as reported by the New York Times, Todd was the Father-in-law to current Olympic US Men's Volleyball team coach, Hugh McCutcheon. Or, as the LA Times reports, the father of Elisabeth \"Wiz\" Bachman, former Olympic Women's Volleyball player for the 2004 US team at the Athens Olympics.\nOf all the stories though, I prefer the one about the man, and not about who he is related to.\nAs many of you know, I live in Minnesota. Todd and Barbara Bachman also live here. Where I live, the local paper, the Star Tribune, reports that Todd Bachman is the CEO of a local and successful chain of Florist and gardening stores, called \"Bachman's\". By successful, I mean that that the business has survived for more than 120 years. As a point of perspective, I mention that this year marks the 150th year of Minnesota statehood. There wasn't much of a Minneapolis 120 years ago when they opened.\nExtensive reporting on the assailant is available, his name, work-history, where he was born, and who his family is. He jumped from the Drum Tower's second level (where the attack occurred), and died instantly upon impacting the ground.\nHowever, it bothers me that we know nothing at all about the third victim of this crime. Even in the China Daily report, she is known only as \"a Chinese tour guide\". I only hope her injuries are less severe than the other two, and that reporting on her is unimportant because she is now starting a new day of being a tour guide. I hope this, especially considering the injuries to the other victims. The only indication of her well-being, from China Daily, \" The two injured women are in stable condition at a hospital, \" does not suggest she is back at work today.\nTodd and Barbara's daughter, who was present, but not injured, has even been reported on. As a former Olympiad, I suppose that's natural, but that only makes me more bothered at the fact that nobody reports any details about the tour guide. She is also a victim of this tragic crime. I'm sure I'm not the only person who wonders about such things.

Like any large city, crimes of opportunity are common, but confrontational attacks against foreigners are incredibly rare.\nTodd Bachman, his wife Barbara, and their Chinese guide -- who's name has not been reported, as far as I can find -- were attacked and stabbed at the historic Beijing Drum Tower on 9 Aug, 2008 at 12:20 pm Beijing time. Todd Bachman died of his injuries.

While she is talking, she stops mid-sentence, and then says it's an attack. Both buildings have been hit. If you look at the time-lines, both buildings had already been hit, but she didn't know it until that moment.\nPicture this, me driving North-West along this stretch of corn-fields towards East Peoria.\nI'm trying to explain that there's nowhere to pull off, there's nothing to do. Eventually she hangs up, and I find a Radio Station that is reporting the news.\nThen the radio reports that the Pentagon was hit. She calls back. She again tells me that there MUST be some place where I can stop and watch a television. I'm not about to go knocking on a farmhouse door. Especially on a day when everyone is thinking of terrorists.\nA little after 9:00 AM, Central time, I finally find myself in East Peoria. I park the truck in a parking ramp near the Caterpillar headquarters, and I walk towards the building.\nThe first thing that came through my mind is, how would a security director convince the company president that the security guards need to have Uzi sub-machine guns available. I can't imagine they went to the gun-shop and picked them up in the hour since the news had been heard, and there's no way Caterpillar is important or controversial enough to have armed guards standing outside all the time.\nI cautiously walked past them towards the door, expecting that maybe I'll be challenged. I was carrying a laptop case, after-all. Then I walked in, signed in, and went up to the floor where my contact was waiting. I caught a few minutes of video of the destruction in NYC on a TV that had been set up in a break-room nearby. I spent most of the rest of the day, working on the customer's software concerns. The last 45 minutes I was there, I caught some more of the news coverage, and then I drove back to Pontiac.\nMy assignment in Pontiac was through the end of the week, and I had a ticket for Saturday the 15th. This happened to be the first flight out of Bloomington airport, and I've never seen such a small airport so crowded with people waiting for re-booking opportunities. I actually felt bad that the events on this day had not inconvenienced me, as if by not having been directly impacted by the events, maybe I was cheating.

Here is a copy of that comment:\n \"I am a Canadian who was in Beijing and had worked with the guide who was injured in the attack. I am happy to report that she is OK, and getting married very soon. While she underwent surgery shortly thereafter, she has recovered well from her wounds. Her brother is a doctor, and I can attest to the fact that she received excellent care, as I visited her in the hospital on two occasions. While I know she still experiences physical pain, this young Chinese girl has an indomitable spirit, and I am certain she will make a full psychological recovery. I too was frustrated that for 2 days while in Beijing I could find no information on her status. I feared she may have died, and hardly a day goes by that I don't think of the courage of my Chinese friend. Her name was Olivia.\"  By this, I understand that her chosen \"English\" name is Olivia and that she is fine. I do so hope this to be true.

- CHAIR is an offset platform for programming, which is specifically made to support a programmer's approach to offset horizontal surface interfacing to tables.

I will now be one of the countless hoardes that puts my passwords on a sticky note above my notebook's keyboard.\nI have 9 separate password/account combinations at work. Some of them force me to change them every 6 weeks, others force me to change them every 3 months. Some of these require punctuation characters, mixed case and numbers, some of these do not require anything but letters. I could handle this, because none of the systems (at work) deny the use of punctuation or numbers in the passwords. There is ONE account that does not handle a password longer than 8, but that one (at least) ignores anything typed longer than 8.\nI have, for the last 3 years or so, used basically the same password on all of my \"important\" accounts, with very minor variations. Because of the policies in place, I have been in the habit of changing my password monthly, at the first, and integrating the month itself into the password. This, typically, changes three characters of the password, and allowed me to have a secure password that I had otherwise memorized. So, now the policy has changed again, to where three letters is no longer good enough. Now it has to be five.\nNone of this stuff is REALLY that important, is it?\nWorse, I used to be Director of IT for a former employer. I know this stuff. I know there is a better way. I know why my new solution is \"bad for the company\". Yet, when I WAS in IT, I did everything in my power to make sure that once someone chose a decent password, that it would be the same password on all the systems, and that I wouldn't force people to change it all the time. EVEN THERE, I found passwords taped to near 30 different laptops (with a corporate population of around 100).

I've owned two phonograph players for at least 15 years. Neither of them are \"DJ units\", just standard home units manufactured in '87 and '91. The one I gave away isn't as good as the other one, but I had bought it myself. The better one, that I still use, was given to me. But one day, maybe I would need the other unit. Since it hasn't been used for 13 years, perhaps I was just taking up space with a maybe. Or maybe I was just waiting until I found someone who would actually use it. So, I do feel good about that part.\nI have a few more things to get rid of. I have a tendency of stacking old technology, even after it's useless. Often, even if it's broken. Just a few weeks ago, I sent a stack of ISA (computer expansion cards that have not been used since the mid 1990s) cards to recycle. I have more stuff like this that I need to get rid of. Also (strangely) I have two brand-new, never used speakers that I also want to get rid of. It's hard to let stuff like this go. I might need it someday. Someday.\nOf course, it's really the broken stuff that annoys me. It's not hard to find a reputable recycling facility. Why do I really keep this stuff around?\nWhen I was young, and I had more time, I used to enjoy tinkering. As a teenager, I had a soldering iron, and I would spend hours trying to hook things together to make them work. I would put together electronic gadgets, and build switch boxes, or just something with blinking lights. I always thought I'd eventually get good at doing this stuff, but I never really did.\nThe real culmination of this realization came a few years ago when someone asked for my help installing a mod chip into a game system. I realized that I don't have the steadiness of hands that I used to. Yes, these things are tiny, but, really, I used to do stuff like that all the time. So, even the mediocre skills I had picked up as a teenager are long gone.\n   Now, after not having done more than 2 projects in the last 15 years, I really have to admit that this is not something I do. It's not a hobby, it's not a priority. It's not something I will ever be good at. I still like the idea of tinkering, and it's the potential in this broken stuff that I see, and want to keep it around. However, even worse than the phonograph player, or the speakers, it's just broken stuff that will always be broken.     It's time to do something about it.

Of course, products that market to a 'better self-esteem' are popular everywhere, but ... from a Politically Correct US viewpoint, it seems very, very wrong to promote skin lightening.  About that walk.\n\nI brought rubber shoe covers with me. I also brought a rain resistant wind-breaker. Turns out, it's not very rain resistant. The shoe covers are wonderful though. I would have ruined my shoes already if I hadn't been wearing the covers.\nTook some pictures of some pigs near the hotel. I don't think any of them came out though. There's barbed wire, but the pigs walk in and out of the fence as if it weren't there. They live in what looks like a garbage pile to me, but it must be a farm, given the barbed wire fence, and that there isn't anything for quite a way behind the fence.\nI'm having a hard time getting my bearings, and I'm still pretty tired from the flights it took to get here. I walked right, out of the hotel, and left down the next road, and the pigs are basically right there. It was maybe a 5 minute walk to get there if it weren't raining. I think I was out for about 30 minutes total. During that time, three different guys in autocabs came asking me if I needed a ride. Each of them suggesting destinations when I said no, I need to find the trick to get rid of these guys quicker. Can't a foreigner just want to take a walk? O.K., no, it's not actually that bad, just by the third guy in 7 minutes, each of them just as sure that I really do want a ride.\nAnyway, I found a TV channel showing some US shows, so...

Traffic signal lights are suggestions, that you follow only so far as someone in the other direction is tired of waiting for a green and is willing to put the front of their vehicle in front of your movement. Driving here is on the left side of the road, but this is based on the steering wheel being on the right side of the car. Seems this is basically followed, except by: Bicycles Mopeds Motorbikes Autorickshaws Cars that are small enough that they can \"probably\" not cause too much of a tie-up by going in the wrong direction ...Even on a divided highway. ...It still causes major tie-ups. Pedistrians cross the street in designated crosswalks and in non-designated cross-walks and in front of on-coming traffic and where-ever pedestrians can walk. Notably, it's very rare for a pedestrian to cross by climbing one of the high fences on some divided roads to keep people from crossing. No, instead, the pedestrian will walk along the center for some time from the last designated cross-walk so they can walk out into on-coming traffic. Pedestrians walk on the right side, left side or between ever-shifting lanes.  But, most important, is traffic communication protocols. Most commercial vehicles have, on the back (instead of How am I driving, Call xxx) the words, \"Horn OK\". That sets the tone for this. Some of these rules I have confirmed as actual suggested traffic training, others, I'm merely guessing:    There is no traffic control suggestion, and you are coming to a cross-road. Honk to warn that you are crossing. It appears there's little difference between a main road in a cross-road, so people on either side will honk. See also traffic signal lights being suggestions ... so people honk at those too. If you are about to overtake (pass another vehicle), honk so they know to watch for you. If you are coming upon a vehicle who has chosen a lane that is not aligned to the vehicles directly next to them, honk to suggest that they re-evaluate their lane position. If you come upon one of the pedestrians, also honk, even if they see you, and are getting out of the way. Stray dog crossing the road, yes, honk. There are more stray dogs here, than anywhere else I've been. Stray cows though, don't honk. They just panic and freeze like a deer in headlights, so just go around, and hope they move on.  The result, however, is that no matter where you are in the city, the background sound is merely a symphony of horns. After five days, I'm still hearing it. It's not like the rumble of an A/C, horns are built to be irritating on purpose. It does seem though, that after years of exposure, Indians themselves no longer notice the horns.      ...Even while driving.

My room rate, at the hotel I'm staying in, comes with free Breakfast, so that's the one meal I will always eat at the hotel.\nTwo days ago, there was a dish at the breakfast buffet. Barbecue Beef.

Do not write an ambiguous post just so the first commenter will have to ask, \"What do you mean?\" Learn how to use the privacy features of Facebook and DO NOT leave your profile open to the public. Do not post or comment if it will get you in trouble with your significant other; Offending others is OK, if you are really prepared for the backlash. Block people you know who do not like you, before they blast your wall. If you have to become a fan of something before you can see it, it is ALWAYS an advertisement...(or worse, a virus).    Personal drama problems   \n   You are angry now, but do you want your friends to know you are angry now, when they read the update tomorrow, or next week? Will you still be the same angry? Check EVERYONE on your friends list, do you want those work buddies asking about this? Also, if someone ELSE tries to get you to engage in personal drama over Facebook, use anything BUT Facebook to engage them back; visits, phones and e-mails are all better ideas.     Ambiguous post     Here's an example: \"Oh my, I'm so excited about what just happened\"   So now the first sucker has to say \"What just happened?\" Just add the next sentence. It's OK if you add the rest as the first comment, just don't leave your friends hanging. Such a waste of their time.     Privacy Features     Facebook has a lot of privacy settings. They change every three months or so. Learn what they mean, and learn to use them. Most likely, you do NOT want everybody who knows your name to be able to see every update you've made. Setting all share defaults to \"friends only\" is pretty reasonable. Take extra care to check what you are sharing with Facebook's advertising engine. If you let it, it will use your friend's Facebook pictures to try to sell you products. As importantly, it will try to use your picture to try to sell products to others. Also keep in mind that even though the settings are there, and they work today, always expect that at any moment everything you ever say might accidentally end up on some search engine because someone with access left a door open.     Don't Anger Your Significant Other     This should be obvious. It is OK to piss people off, if you are willing to deal with their real-world emotional response. However, it is never a good idea to piss off your significant other, or by extension, anybody you live with. These are the people who can find you in your sleep. Also, they are most likely to make your thoughtless post a \"Personal Drama Problem\". If they do, try not to get into it.   \n   Block Enemies Before they Drama on You     Your friend and you just had a really nasty disagreement, and you are not going to patch it up. Block them quickly. The last thing you need is some frenemy posting their new \"Personal Drama Problem\" on your wall.     Know What You Are Clicking \"Like\" On     Your oldest most trusted friend writes on your wall, \"This video of a helpless baby seal being beaten with a club made me cry, check this link.\" So you click the link and are presented with a page that says, to see the video, first click \"Like\" (or \"Enable this App\", or \"Become a Fan\"). As soon as you click OK, guess what automatically gets posted to every one of your friend's walls in your name? If you guessed, \"This video of a helpless baby seal being beaten with a club made me cry, check this link,\" you are ahead of the game. You haven't seen it yet, but you just told all of your friends it made you cry. How sweet. Of course, the video may or may not be of a baby seal at all, and is very likely to be an ad for \"H3rbell V146R4\".

What, exactly, is different this time?\n...Dismissing the hillarious political calls of \"Treason\" against people who are NOT US citizens. Dismissing that Amazon.com, Mastercard and PayPal have all stopped doing business with the web site on politician's suggestions that this company has done something criminally wrong. And dismissing anything silly that Sarah Palin has to say, being she was an early victim. Also dismissing anything that the Organization's leader may or may not personally be guilty of...\nAfter all of that, what US law, or even what Austrailian law, is Wikileaks actually guilty of? Doesn't the USA protect free speech? I could have sworn that was one of the things that made me proud of this country.\nSeriously, tell me. I really don't get it.

I have some developers reporting to me. So let me say this; Regulated, Regimented development. That's what I try to use most of the time. Yes, really. It is extremely important to start a project with good specifications. First, this means that I have had several conversations with my customers about what they are expecting to get out of the project, and how they expect to interact with it before anybody starts coding.\nRequirements specifications make their way to Functional specifications. This is where I admit that these are often done incorrectly, but they are still done. Let me explain that. The requirements are the high level things that management wants to accomplish. The functional specs are supposed to be the things that define how the customer will interface with the product to meet the requirements. However, more often, most of the interface decisions are stuffed into Requirements leaving the functional specification to double as a technical roadmap to how the project will be completed.\nAs long as all of the necessary information is there, it doesn't really bother me.\nNo Accounting for Expectations\nOne thing that all of these requirements do not get me is a customer that actually understands the full implications of what they are asking for. Further, it doesn't give me the forsight to understand that something that the customer legitimately asked for and agreed that they wanted, is actually the opposite of what they need after they see what they are about to get.\nThis point is why I need the documents. This part is why that top down approach is really, really important.\nNo, not to shove it down the user's throat, but to clearly be able to go to the project management team and say, this project is under threat. What the customer needs is NOT reflected in this documentation, and I need to go through some development iterations quickly with the customer until I can really figure out what they want. I use the documenation, plus the frustration of the customer to switch to collaborative development iterations.\n1) Here's the almost finished development that does what you asked for.\n2) Customer realizes that prototype needs something different.\n3) Remind customer where they asked for what they got, get specific reasoning for the change. Does it save time? What goes wrong if we leave it as is?\n4) Go back to project management, explain the problem and the reasons for the problem.\n5) Work with the customer to fix it BEFORE it's a service issue later.\nFor the customer, the trade off is often that they lose features that were originally asked for if the timelines cannot be extended. As long as project management and the customer understand this up-front, then things go pretty well.\nI recently led two separate projects that went through agile-collaborative cycles come to a close. The one that started with the most documentation has the happiest result. The one that started with almost no documentation is still a bit of a monster that is difficult to add new features to.\nThe worse of these was for an editor to help quickly add new data into a system. To start agile at the very beginning of a project in this case caused the completion date to slip by almost a year, and we lost the lead developer during (and likely because of) the project. The length of the project slip was partly due to that developer leaving, but I also know it has a lot to do with the fact that it was an agile project from it's inception. The customers lost track of the primary goals of the system, and around month two changed out it's primary goal. By it's end, a project which was supposed to help users quickly enter new data into the system was released as something that couldn't add new data, but only edit old data records. That's what the customer wanted, but the fact that the purpose did such a huge change really makes me wonder why it didn't have more documentation at it's beginning.\nThe one that worked much better had documentation that we kept referring back to, which actually helped keep our customer on-task as well. It could have been derailed by a long set of requests for search and reporting functionality. Request was deferred to a separate, second project, to leave the core functionality alone. Reporting got done on time as well.\nBoth of these projects had 6 month time-lines to start. Both of these projects finished with a great deal of customer collaboration, and iterative development cycles. One of them had good documentation at it's beginning telling us what our goals are. The other was waylaid by the changing goals of the customer, and since there were no good requirements to begin with it fell far from it's original mission.\nI'll also mention that the original business sponsor has come back asking why it doesn't do what was originally intended. This ongoing conversation is not fun.

By it's end, a project which was supposed to help users quickly enter new data into the system was released as something that couldn't add new data, but only edit old data records. That's what the customer wanted, but the fact that the purpose did such a huge change really makes me wonder why it didn't have more documentation at it's beginning.\nThe one that worked much better had documentation that we kept referring back to, which actually helped keep our customer on-task as well. It could have been derailed by a long set of requests for search and reporting functionality. Request was deferred to a separate, second project, to leave the core functionality alone. Reporting got done on time as well.\nBoth of these projects had 6 month time-lines to start. Both of these projects finished with a great deal of customer collaboration, and iterative development cycles. One of them had good documentation at it's beginning telling us what our goals are. The other was waylaid by the changing goals of the customer, and since there were no good requirements to begin with it fell far from it's original mission.\nI'll also mention that the original business sponsor has come back asking why it doesn't do what was originally intended. This ongoing conversation is not fun.

&nbsp;What goes wrong if we leave it as is?<br>4) Go back to project management, explain the problem and the reasons for the problem.<br>5) Work with the customer to fix it BEFORE it's a service issue later.<br><br>For the customer, the trade off is often that they lose features that were originally asked for if the timelines cannot be extended. &nbsp;As long as project management and the customer understand this up-front, then things go pretty well.<br><br>I recently led two separate projects that went through agile-collaborative cycles come to a close. &nbsp;The one that started with the most documentation has the happiest result. &nbsp;The one that started with almost no documentation is still a bit of a monster that is difficult to add new features to.<br><br>The worse of these was for an editor to help quickly add new data into a system. &nbsp;To start agile at the very beginning of a project in this case caused the completion date to slip by almost a year, and we lost the lead developer during (and likely because of) the project. &nbsp;The length of the project slip was partly due to that developer leaving, but I also know it has a lot to do with the fact that it was an agile project from it's inception. &nbsp;The customers lost track of the primary goals of the system, and around month two changed out it's primary goal. &nbsp;By it's end, a project which was supposed to help users quickly enter new data into the system was released as something that couldn't add new data, but only edit old data records. &nbsp;That's what the customer wanted, but the fact that the purpose did such a huge change really makes me wonder why it didn't have more documentation at it's beginning.<br><br>The one that worked much better had documentation that we kept referring back to, which actually helped keep our customer on-task as well. &nbsp;It could have been derailed by a long set of requests for search and reporting functionality. &nbsp;Request was deferred to a separate, second project, to leave the core functionality alone. &nbsp;Reporting got done on time as well.<br><br>Both of these projects had 6 month time-lines to start. &nbsp;Both of these projects finished with a great deal of customer collaboration, and iterative development cycles. &nbsp;One of them had good documentation at it's beginning telling us what our goals are. &nbsp;The other was waylaid by the changing goals of the customer, and since there were no good requirements to begin with it fell far from it's original mission.<br><br>I'll also mention that the original business sponsor has come back asking why it doesn't do what was originally intended. &nbsp;This ongoing conversation is not fun.</div></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/agile-scrum/>agile-scrum</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/blog/>blog</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/dev/>dev</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/management/>management</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/work/>work</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2011/03/the-world-vs-america-why-the-usa-is-easy-to-hate/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>The World vs America: Why the USA is Easy to Hate</span></a>

A link where people who actually have the means can drop a dollar, or twenty. A link like this one here.\ncota.donorpages.com/PatientOnlineDonation/COTAforSimonD\nLike this, those e-mails usually talk about some heart-wrenching case where the doctors spent years trying to figure out exactly what was wrong. In and out of hospitals. Parents work vacation time gone by mid-February, every year. Precious time was wasted, and meanwhile, that child's ability to just be a kid is not really complete.\ncota.donorpages.com/PatientOnlineDonation/COTAforSimonD\nSimon D is a real kid. His parents are not rich and not terribly poor. His father has a decent job. Simon lives in a regular home with two loving parents. It's just that he's sick, and the very real costs of needing a bone marrow transplant are overwhelming. Sadly, there are not very many doctors and hospitals capable of performing this surgery on children. So, Simon will have to go out of Florida, where he lives. And his family will have to go too, because you can't just send a child alone on such a scary journey. The loss of income, the hotels, the travel expenses, the eating at hospital cafeterias. The inevitable follow-up visits with the surgeons. The estimated costs of this is 75,000 dollars (that's US money). cota.donorpages.com/PatientOnlineDonation/COTAforSimonD\nThat is not an exaggeration, and honestly, deeply, even if this goal is made, it's still possible that it wouldn't be enough. Chances are, this goal will not be reached and Simon's parents will be in debt for the rest of their lives. Yes, this story is sad, and heart-breaking, but it's also very real.\nPlease help. Please send this like you have seen forwarded e-mails like I talked about above. Am I asking you to give money? Yes, yes I am, I won't deny that. I am ALSO asking you to forward this story to others. The COTA page doesn't tell a story. It's just a sentence, a picture and a donate button. Forward this story, and maybe some people will listen and be able to help a little bit.\n In case you were wondering, COTA is a Federally registered non-profit. Donations are tax deductible in the US. Also, for tax reasons, parents in this situation are NOT allowed to solicit donations themselves. They must rely on others to do this for them. Can you be someone who helps?  -----------------------\nI have known Simon's father for over 19 years. He is, in my opinion, good people. I am just doing what I can. Seriously, please... help me spread the word for Simon.\nThank you,\nGary Allen ","wordCount":"489","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2011-01-06T10:53:00-05:00","dateModified":"2011-01-06T10:53:15.336-05:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2011/01/spreading-the-word-for-simon/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

While in these places, I've had countless hours of conversations with people from those places, most of whom have never traveled outside of their own countries. These conversations, frequently, are about America.\nToday's blog started with me reading something that someone in the UK posted online after a rock concert. ' The band mentioned that they'd just returned from a 7 week tour of the USA. That was met will a wall of boos, and shouts of \"fuck the USA\" and \"America sucks\".' Since I've discussed these opinions so often with people who have never been here, and I thought it would be something that would make a good blog post. So, sorry for the long setup. Here goes.\n\nAmerican Exports\nThe backdrop of America, to most of the world comes from our most prolific export. America exports culture better than any other country in the entire world. However, we do this almost exclusively through our entertainment.\nThink about that. For every single thing that as an American, I see on TV, and think embarrassingly, what an idiot, the rest of the world has no choice but to equate that to \"Americans\".\nThat's right, all that crap that is on TV, that actual Americans know for certain is the fringe of the fringe sort of stuff, happens to also be a wildly popular export. We send forth Snookie to be a cultural liaison. The kids on \"The Real Life\" or \"Jackass\" movies are in \"reality shows\", so that is what Americans are like, right? Borat, similarly, was a great teacher that it doesn't take long to find a complete, total, ass-hat, pretty much anywhere in America.\nIn both in China and India I've spent a strange amount of time pointing out that this stuff is entertainment in the US and exported from the US because it's also weird and freaky to Americans. These reality shows are always set up after finding people who have a very unusual lifestyle, and a very non-typical world-view. Then, more often than not, these odd people who have been found are taken out of their economic status, put up in a home that is larger than most Americans would ever live in, and given fame and fortune for being perpetually odd. It's a great way to entertain, but it isn't \"reality\". I point out that the people who are on their own local TV shows and movies also have little resemblance to the way that they themselves live their lives, then, I will point to specific examples.\nMoving away from reality, what about the mainstream fiction? Sex and the City is a great example of people who cannot possibly make 1.3 million per year, but live as if they do. Desperate Housewives was really popular while I was in China. I know exactly one couple where the wife doesn't have to go to work every day. On that show, it's the exception.\nIn India, I looked around and said, \"Why isn't everyone singing and dancing? Every movie here, everyone sings and dances. Would a foreigner who's never been here not automatically expect that every disagreement is resolved through song and dance?\" In China, very few people actually know Kung Fu. Their movies certainly show otherwise. \"Why don't you know Kung Fu?\"\nUnless they've really been here in the US for a substantial amount of time, this is the first time they start to grasp that America isn't exactly like the movies and shows they have seen. Even travelling here, most will never fully get it. The perception is that Americans are all rich, and they come here, and stay in a hotel that is cleaned daily by a maid service. Isn't that exactly what they've learned to expect? They are here, and treated as a guest, and so they don't get a chance to really \"get it\".\nJust like most Americans can't spend a minute to feel bad for the CEO of HP who lost her job, the rest of the world has little care to spend a minute to feel bad for us Americans who sometimes, if not often, disagree with what our government is doing. After-all, we are a Democratic Republic, and one of the few countries in the world where we directly elect our leader (unlike Parliamentary systems where you hope the ruling party chooses a good Prime Minister). We are all rich, and should know better than to elect a government that won't do what we want.\nWhich brings me straight into\nAmerican Foreign Policy\nThe USA war policies of Bush are currently our main issues within Europe. Most Europeans, and especially the British that I've met, totally understand the crux of entertainment IS strange (though, still, we all must be rich), but it doesn't give us anything to explain why we are still in Iraq. Still being in Afghanistan wouldn't bother anybody if we were not also still in Iraq, mostly on a set of lies. (It can be argued that now, we are almost out of Iraq, but we are not actually out yet, and this doesn't explain why we've been there as long as we had been).   Let me be clear, the Bush war policies didn't start with Bush, just the current wars that we are hated for came from Bush. Generally, Obama is blameless for these, regardless of the nit-picking of what he has not done about them. The world is at least a little disillusioned that Obama didn't immediately end all wars, because, really, that is what the world wanted (including a large section of the Democratic base, here). Logically, if any one person thinks about what that would mean, it can be understood quickly that it would be a really bad idea, but logic and emotion do not have to jive.\nSo very recently, it was FRANCE that was the first to reach out to the rebel leadership in Libya. This, we absolutely can blame Obama for, but the move, even from the French, was a bit of a risky move. It fits the country's personality though, even going all the way back to the US revolution. If the US were that consistent, would the world hate us as much? Probably not.\nMost of the worlds really bad political problems that have happened in the last 40 years, can be traced back to something our own CIA was involved with at one time, but fucked up. Please don't discount that. The rest of the world has certainly not. But what about the UK, our closest political ally? My opinion of this is, they hate us because of the way we seem to drag them down. So, on the world stage, the UK is also hated along with us. I think the British, mostly, dislike us for that, in the way a clean living man hates his drug dealing brother (hate with caring).  Ancient History  America, as a country, has the shortest memory of any country I've ever visited. We see ancient history as anything that happened before we were each 10. No other place I've been has an easy dismissal of things that happened before they were born. I've met Chinese who still take it personally that the US supported the British opium war more than 100 years ago.  Similarly, don't look back at World War II, and say, \"See we rebuilt your countries, and now you hate us!\" At the end of the Eisenhower administration, the US deeply changed the way it dealt with the world. We started acting with the arc of \"superpower\". Also as importantly, we started nurturing a full time Military Industrial complex. Nobody really blamed us for that because the Soviet Union was much more feared than we were. That all changed in 1989 when the Berlin wall fell, and the Soviet Union fell right behind. The good-will of our helping to rebuild Europe has been replaced with questions about why we still have so many permanent military bases there. These are valid questions, but they also have valid answers. It is Not Really Hate  Think about a neighbor who you worry about because he's got NRA stickers all over his pickup trucks and if anybody asks how he's doing he says, \"Did you see Jersey Shore last night? Them's my kind of people!\" You really don't like him, but he's your neighbor, and you worry about him. Also, when you asked him to help you fix that leaky sink, he took the spanner home, and didn't return it. Sure, you didn't know how to use it to fix the problem, but damnit, it was yours. That is, you know he'll help if you really need him to, but you really don't like asking him for help. Funny though, everything you hear about his family is all about success and money. We wish he'd adopt us.  He's kind of a jerk, and you don't really know if he's actually friendly or not. Yep, that's us.\n I Am NOT Apologizing \n I need to make it very clear that this is not about hating America. I love us! However, I've talked to a lot of people, while on THEIR turf, and these are the lessons I've learned. Maybe you'll find it useful.

I've met Chinese who still take it personally that the US supported the British opium war more than 100 years ago.</span><br><span class=Apple-style-span style=font-family:inherit><br></span><br><span class=Apple-style-span style=font-family:inherit>Similarly, don't look back at World War II, and say, "See we rebuilt your countries, and now you hate us!" &nbsp;At the end of the Eisenhower administration, the US deeply changed the way it dealt with the world. &nbsp;We started acting with the arc of "superpower". &nbsp;Also as importantly, we started nurturing a full time Military Industrial complex. &nbsp;Nobody really blamed us for that because the Soviet Union was much more feared than we were. &nbsp;That all changed in 1989 when the Berlin wall fell, and the Soviet Union fell right behind. &nbsp;The good-will of our helping to rebuild Europe has been replaced with questions about why we still have so many permanent military bases there. &nbsp;These are valid questions, but they also have valid answers.</span><br><br><span class=Apple-style-span style=font-family:inherit><b>It is Not Really Hate</b></span><br><span class=Apple-style-span style=font-family:inherit><br></span><br><span class=Apple-style-span style=font-family:inherit>Think about a neighbor who you worry about because he's got NRA stickers all over his pickup trucks and if anybody asks how he's doing he says, "Did you see Jersey Shore last night? &nbsp;Them's my kind of people!" &nbsp;You really don't like him, but he's your neighbor, and you worry about him. &nbsp;Also, when you asked him to help you fix that leaky sink, he took the spanner home, and didn't return it. &nbsp;Sure, you didn't know how to use it to fix the problem, but damnit, it was yours. &nbsp;That is, you know he'll help if you really need him to, but you really don't like asking him for help. &nbsp;Funny though, everything you hear about his family is all about success and money. &nbsp;We wish he'd adopt us. &nbsp;</span>
 He's kind of a jerk, and you don't really know if he's actually friendly or not.&nbsp;&nbsp;Yep, that's us.<br><span class=Apple-style-span style=font-family:inherit><br></span><br><span class=Apple-style-span style=font-family:inherit><b>I Am NOT Apologizing</b></span><br><span class=Apple-style-span style=font-family:inherit><b><br></b></span><br><span class=Apple-style-span style=font-family:inherit>I need to make it very clear that this is not about hating America. &nbsp;I love us! &nbsp;However, I've talked to a lot of people, while on THEIR turf, and these are the lessons I've learned. &nbsp;Maybe you'll find it useful.</span></div></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/blog/>blog</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/history/>history</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/media/>media</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/politics/>politics</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2011/04/go-read-joe/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Go Read Joe</span></a>

Well, from the best I can tell, nothing. The current shutdown is about the Tea Party holding Republican senator's feet to the fire, and Democrats not understanding how serious the new majority party is about cutting spending.

So, Jen and I were in an Apple store a few weeks back browsing (well, playing with) the new laptops. The touch-pads on these things are very sensitive, and accidentally letting a second finger graze the pad while trying to move the pointer does unexpected things. Two fingers, and the app switches, three fingers, and you are thrown to another desktop. I was thinking to myself that it would take a few hours with it to really get used to it. Jen says that the care required to work it was more than she is willing to put in (paraphrased).        Microsoft Touch Mouse (Amazon)     Over at Amazon, they are now advertising this thing called the Microsoft Touch Mouse. It, of course, is the Microsoft answer to the Apple Magic Mouse, except the Microsoft listing has a video of how to operate it. Similar thing. I'm thinking to myself, Oh, this could take a few days of use to get used to, and maybe, maybe it will make computing faster if I learn this, but is it worth the effort? Jen, she has a similar reaction as she did to the Mac touch-pads.     Doing cursory research for this blog, I found a demo video for the Apple Magic Mouse as well. The Apple demo (not surprisingly) is of much higher production value than the Amazon/Microsoft demo, but it also advertises a feature that made Jen and me feel better about it... They show you where to turn the multi-touch features off. This makes sense, being that the Magic Mouse is the default mouse that comes with new Apple products.

I think that mine is only 17 years old, though (I'm the third owner, but I have owned it since 1998). Anyway, it's a great board, and it has treated me very well for a very long time.\nThere had been a low battery warning for, probably the last 10 years or so. My response was to just never turn it off, which worked until I had to turn it off for a while. Anyway, originally it would give the warning, then I could hit a button, and the error would disappear, and I could still play the board. Recently, it stopped playing. So, I got out my soldiering iron, and some angle wire cutters and replaced the battery. (it was spot welded onto leads that go into the main board, now there are long lead wires that are soldered onto the original leads, and those - in turn - are soldiered to the watch battery).\nBut then, I remember that this thing isn't just a board, it's an entire MIDI workstation and control instrument. I wasn't storing anything because I knew the low battery would just lose whatever it was. Now that there's a fresh battery again, though... How to, well, I didn't have a manual, so I started searching around.\nI find that one place has the manuals that I need. So, I'm looking around, and they ALSO have a main-board memory upgrade for it. Oooooh, it can hold 58000 sequence notes, instead of only 8000. I hadn't heard much about this site but decided to go for it (using PayPal).\nIt took 24 hours for them to send me the PDF manuals. It took about a week for the memory to get to me. I installed it about an hour ago, and the instructions were clear enough (shrugs, I know, that doesn't say much, since I was confident enough to replace the battery even before I got a copy of the service manual).

I don't have more time than that.   -- @GAVollink  I've been following along with a pilot training program that was recently launched where I work. One section of it is on a project definition framework. I have never liked this framework, and only today - while responding to the trainer on another inquiry, did I finally understand why. At the same time, I realized that I shouldn't dislike the framework at all...  I started implementing projects 18 years ago. I started defining projects 12 years ago. I started advocating projects from other peoples ideas almost 10 years ago. Over the last 8 years, sometimes, I am the decision maker. In all this time, I have never seen a project accepted by a decision maker for implementation because of how carefully documented it is. Quite the opposite. The project that can be described in two sentences - basically, twitter format - is most likely to get that person's attention. The project that can get someone's attention an ALSO has a 30 second elevator pitch as a follow-up is rarely passed by.  That said, mounds of research and careful documentation is absolutely useful, essential even, about 20 minutes after the idea has been successfully pitched. At the point it has been pitched, it will be a project, ready or not, so the details need to be ready too. That's not the point. What I've come to realize is that if someone has not thought through the project carefully enough to be able to isolate it to an introductory sound bite, and a follow-up paragraph, then the project probably is not ready to be done.  In some cases, it is a project that is supposed to be solving too many problems at once. Something that is trying to fix everything is likely to be like a porcupine walking backwards through a silk shop. In some cases, it is a project that would be best served as an add-on to a different project entirely. In most cases, it is a project that is going to be waylaid by someone else's description of a problem.  When the project that can't be simply explained is swimming in a decision makers head, and someone else describes a problem, suddenly - because the project is not understood in the first place - the project and the problem are arbitrarily married. The misguided ah-ha moment, \"That must be what that project is for.\"  Coming back to the framework though, if there isn't a full project framework in place to back up that sound byte and elevator pitch, any technical person who is supposed to support that project going forward is going to expect that mound of research, the proof that this was really thought through. Not having a well thought out plan for an idea that was already bought by a decision maker, will grow enemies quickly. So my dislike for the framework is not about the framework, but the lack of the step where a sound byte and elevator pitch are distilled from that framework.  So, now I think of it this way; If I can't tweet a project description that makes sense, I'm not ready to pitch the project. If I can't come up with a 30 second elevator speech to back up the tweet, then, I'm not ready to pitch the project. If I don't follow the framework, too, then I don't even have a project to pitch.

Sinai) and got the new Scan, and then, after another two weeks, I was finally able to see the Doctor (I was fit in, but didn't have an actual appointment time).\nThe Doctor's appointment on the 25th of September was very interesting. They showed me a 25mm (and inch wide) Staghorn (meaning grown into the various valleys of my kidney) Kidney Stone, and said it had probably been growing there for several years. And... the local hospital E.R. had clearly missed it. The Doctor tentatively scheduled me in for the 8th of October to have it removed, and sent me off for a different doctor, to get a pre-surgical clearance. I was able to get in there on the 27th, got some chest X-rays to verify that my heart was ticking proper, and then I waited to find out about the firmness of that date. I didn't find out for certain about the surgery on the 8th until they called me on the 7th.\nThe surgery itself was slow to get started, but eventually happened. I was VERY nervous about this, being my first time under general anesthesia, but ... I did wake up. The entire surgery was done through a single tube inserted from my left flank into my kidney (this part was done about an hour before the surgery, and under just a local anesthetic. The estimate was that I'd be in the operating room for 1 hour, and instead it took 2 hours and 15 minutes. The Doctor said to Jen, \"chasing bits of stone into all sorts of nooks and crannies\", or something near that. I'm repeating it third hand, at least. Which suggests to me that this thing was even more spread out than the CAT scan had showed. Anyway, when I woke up my first thought was, \"Oh, I guess I am going to survive this.\"\nI stayed in the Hospital overnight, and got two morphine shots; though, I only remember the second one. By morning, I was feeling better. I had two catheters, one was the tube that had been put in to support the surgery itself, directly into my kidney, I went home with this one. The other was removed fairly early on Wednesday (in front of an audience of 8 nursing students), I was too groggy to even feel embarrassed. By that evening, I had done the required walking, and they sent me home, with an appointment to have the tube (and bag) removed the following Monday (14th).\nWalking around with a tube sticking out of my side, and carrying a bag of urine is a surreal state of being. I was tired and if I walked for more than about a block, my muscles would cramp up around where the tube was sticking out of me. I was also worried about people bumping into it. So, I ended up staying home a lot. There are pictures, but I'm not planning on grossing anybody out with them.\nOn 14 October, I went in to have the tube removed. So the tube that was in me was a catheter. That is, it went from inside my kidney to outside of my body, and handily hooked up to a bag. This means that when my kidney finished with liquids, and ejected urine it would go through this catheter. From my right kidney, everything continued to work as normal, kidney, bladder, urethra, toilet.\nI had joked with some people that, by the description of the doc, they would clip a tether, pull the tube out of me, and send me home...\n...I had that wrong. They did put two very thin pieces of gauze over the hole and taped it on before sending me home. The implications of this should not have been surprising, but they took me a bit off guard. Pardon, but this is gross, and I can't really help it.\nKnowing that there would be \"a little leakage\" (my dumb head was just thinking bloody discharge), I smartly asked Jen to buy us some Chux. I mean, it seems crazy that they would send me for an 1 plus hour ride home with two strips of gause if my kidney is still pumping out 1.8 liters of urine per day (as measured from the bag over a week). But this, they did, and to suggest that the gauze and the Chux were insufficient, would be a nice way of putting it. Remind me to get the car steam cleaned.\nOver two nights, Jen and I tried some different things to hold the deluge, and each failed in its own interesting way resulting me waking up cold, scared and wet. We eventually settled on Pampers taped to my side, which were the most effective but still not 100%.\nSome time before 11AM on Wednesday, the hole in my kidney finally healed enough for me to unstrap from the diaper. Also, there was an immediate flood of pain as (and I was warned about this part) surgical detritus flushed towards my bladder. It was not \"all better\" for me quite yet, but with a dry back, sanity begins to return, and I would be able to get the much needed post surgery rest that I'd been lacking up until that point.\nSince Wednesday the 16th, I've been feeling progressively better each day, until today, when I am finally well enough to return to work.\nThe fallout of this is that I have Uric Acid type kidney stones. This means, I get coffee back, but it also means that I cannot have more than six ounces of \"animal protein\" per day.

Sinai) and got the new Scan, and then, after another two weeks, I was finally able to see the Doctor (I was fit in, but didn't have an actual appointment time).<br><br>The Doctor's appointment on the 25th of September was very interesting.&nbsp; They showed me a 25mm (and inch wide) Staghorn (meaning grown into the various valleys of my kidney) Kidney Stone, and said it had probably been growing there for several years.&nbsp; And... the local hospital E.R. had clearly missed it.&nbsp; The Doctor tentatively scheduled me in for the 8th of October to have it removed, and sent me off for a different doctor, to get a pre-surgical clearance.&nbsp; I was able to get in there on the 27th, got some chest X-rays to verify that my heart was ticking proper, and then I waited to find out about the firmness of that date.&nbsp; I didn't find out for certain about the surgery on the 8th until they called me on the 7th.<br><br>The surgery itself was slow to get started, but eventually happened.&nbsp; I was VERY nervous about this, being my first time under general anesthesia, but ... I did wake up.&nbsp; The entire surgery was done through a single tube inserted from my left flank into my kidney (this part was done about an hour before the surgery, and under just a local anesthetic.&nbsp; The estimate was that I'd be in the operating room for 1 hour, and instead it took 2 hours and 15 minutes.&nbsp; The Doctor said to Jen, "chasing bits of stone into all sorts of nooks and crannies", or something near that. &nbsp;I'm repeating it third hand, at least.&nbsp; Which suggests to me that this thing was even more spread out than the CAT scan had showed.&nbsp; Anyway, when I woke up my first thought was, "Oh, I guess I am going to survive this."<br><br>I stayed in the Hospital overnight, and got two morphine shots; though, I only remember the second one.&nbsp; By morning, I was feeling better.&nbsp; I had two catheters, one was the tube that had been put in to support the surgery itself, directly into my kidney, I went home with this one.&nbsp; The other was removed fairly early on Wednesday (in front of an audience of 8 nursing students), I was too groggy to even feel embarrassed.&nbsp; By that evening, I had done the required walking, and they sent me home, with an appointment to have the tube (and bag) removed the following Monday (14th).<br><br>Walking around with a tube sticking out of my side, and carrying a bag of urine is a surreal state of being.&nbsp; I was tired and if I walked for more than about a block, my muscles would cramp up around where the tube was sticking out of me.&nbsp; I was also worried about people bumping into it.&nbsp; So, I ended up staying home a lot.&nbsp; There are pictures, but I'm not planning on grossing anybody out with them.<br><br>On 14 October, I went in to have the tube removed.&nbsp; So the tube that was in me was a catheter. That is, it went from inside my kidney to outside of my body, and handily hooked up to a bag. This means that when my kidney finished with liquids, and ejected urine it would go through this catheter. From my right kidney, everything continued to work as normal, kidney, bladder, urethra, toilet.<br><br>I had joked with some people that, by the description of the doc, they would clip a tether, pull the tube out of me, and send me home...<br><br>...I had that wrong. They did put two very thin pieces of gauze over the hole and taped it on before sending me home. The implications of this should not have been surprising, but they took me a bit off guard. Pardon, but this is gross, and I can't really help it.<br><br>Knowing that there would be "a little leakage" (my dumb head was just thinking bloody discharge), I smartly asked Jen to buy us some&nbsp;<a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.amazon.com/NorthShore-Premium-Disposable-Underpads-Large/dp/B000FD2AZ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382380541&sr=8-1&keywords=Chux" href="http://www.amazon.com/NorthShore-Premium-Disposable-Underpads-Large/dp/B000FD2AZ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382380541&sr=8-1&keywords=Chux" lj-cmd=LJLink2 target=_blank>Chux</a>. I mean, it seems crazy that they would send me for an 1 plus hour ride home with two strips of gause if my kidney is still pumping out 1.8 liters of urine per day (as measured from the bag over a week). But this, they did, and to suggest that the gauze and the Chux were insufficient, would be a nice way of putting it. Remind me to get the car steam cleaned.<br><br>Over two nights, Jen and I tried some different things to hold the deluge, and each failed in its own interesting way resulting me waking up cold, scared and wet.&nbsp; We eventually settled on Pampers taped to my side, which were the most effective but still not 100%.<br><br>Some time before 11AM on Wednesday, the hole in my kidney finally healed enough for me to unstrap from the diaper. Also, there was an immediate flood of pain as (and I was warned about this part) surgical detritus flushed towards my bladder. It was not "all better" for me quite yet, but with a dry back, sanity begins to return, and I would be able to get the much needed post surgery rest that I'd been lacking up until that point.<br><br>Since Wednesday the 16th, I've been feeling progressively better each day, until today, when I am finally well enough to return to work.<br><br>The fallout of this is that I have Uric Acid type kidney stones. &nbsp;This means, I get coffee back, but it also means that I cannot have more than six ounces of "animal protein" per day. &nbsp;Chicken, Pork, Beef, Fish, even eggs are high in these chemicals called Purines.</div></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/blog/>blog</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/medical/>medical</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/personal/>personal</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2014/03/goodbye-to-jenn-gabriel-powell/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Goodbye to Jenn Gabriel-Powell</span></a>

I've written about parts of this for my old web site (the one hosted at home). I'm keeping this professional. It is likely that I'll post this again at some distant point in the future, but with more detail.\nFor most of my professional life, I've been a computer programmer or computer administrator. This is my story.\n\nSmall Beginnings\nFor an American, I grew up relatively poor. At least the part of my child-hood after my parents divorced. My mother couldn't afford a computer, and at had declared that they were nothing more than overpriced video game systems. The point of this is I never had access to a computer in my home growing up. To this day, I don't know if this is a benefit or disadvantage.\nTwo Things From School\nIn the 8th grade, I took a business class, and learned to type. I had absolutely no idea at the time that this one thing would be the most important thing I would ever learn in school. Everything I've done professionally, I thank Ms. Mason for teaching that class.\nIn high school, something else happened that would also shape my life, but I never imagined that it could. A friend of mine got an Amiga 500. These computers came with a BASIC language interpreter, and that BASIC interpreter could do simple (monophonic) music as well as a very basic text to speech function. I actually spent hours in front of that thing getting it to do and say different things. I was fascinated by programming.\nI learned Mechanical Drafting on paper and AutoCAD, both in high-school and vocational. I can't say that I never would have found a job in this field, but I can say that knowing how to type meant I was in a better paying job by the time I got an interview.\nIn the early mornings at the vocational school, I played with their IBM computers that would boot to a BASIC prompt, and wrote many silly little programs in my spare time. I didn't own a computer of my own, and I just thought that putting in commands, and making the computer do what I wanted seemed like magic. Either way, it was a game to me, and I never once thought that I'd have a chance to ever do anything with this.\nI thought I knew at the time that \"real programmers\" could do a very different kind of magic. I thought that computer programmers were Electronics Engineering majors that could write an entire functional program in their head, and type it out in binary without thought (this is what the movies taught me). For the most part, this is still what movies teach, and that is too bad.\nOffice Work\nAbout a year after I left school, I was able to quit my job in a K-Mart garden center for an office job doing data entry. This was a friend connection job, as so many successful starting out stories are, and the only prerequisite was that I know how to type. I took the job, at just under twice minimum wage at the time, and was doing so much better than I had at K-Mart that I thought I was set.\nSeveral things all happened in a six month span that were all very amazing. A roommate couldn't pay his rent, I had a very bad interview, and I opened my mind to new possibilities.\n   At home, my girlfriend at the time and I had a roommate for a while. He was there for only five months total, but his helping with the rent was good. Then, on the third month, he couldn't pay his rent. Then, he brought home a computer, and suggested a barter. I wanted it, and it was too easy to talk me into it. It had a 286 processor when Pentium processors were already out (three versions old), and I reasoned that it could have been sold cheaply and handed down. I knew then that it was probably stolen, and that it was wrong for me to agree to take it. It came with MS-DOS, and had some programs on there that I had no interest in, and deleted. For the first time in my life, I had a computer at home.    While doing this job, I got a job interview for a Mechanical Drafting job. This is what I thought my path was, so I went on the interview. I found out that the job payed 20% less than I was already making, and that they thought that they were paying generous wages. Then, surprising everyone there (including me) I spent most of the interview time asking them about their technology and how it works (and even had some notes on how they could improve it). The guy who ran the place told me that I probably need to be in the Information Technology field. I gave up on the idea of using my vocational schooling at that point.\nAfter not so long doing data-entry, I started realizing that most people who work in an office environment, in my area of the country, drove cars. Even people in that same office, and same company, drove cars. They were not fabulous cars, not necessarily even new cars, but I took the bus or rode my bicycle to the office. So, I start looking at what these other people do, and I realize that they are all either computer programmers or computer administrators. In my head, all magicians to be revered.\nI started talking to the programmers here and there, and a couple of things started to strike me. First, these guys knew more, but they weren't really smarter than I was. Second, programming even relatively simple things took these guys a long time. They didn't write in BASIC, they mostly wrote in C (I didn't know anything about C, but I figured that I could learn it). I started asking questions. I started reading technical manuals for the computer systems that they had.\nNorman Bronstein worked there. This guy was in his 60s (at the time), and loved to tell tales about when he used to work for Bell Labs in New Jersey. He talked about technology, and handed me compiler software to load at home (this was pre-internet, I didn't even know this stuff could be purchased by mere mortals, and certainly wasn't aware of software piracy as a problem). He bought me one of my first books on learning the C language...\nSelf Schooling\n\nWhen people hear that I don't have a college degree, most assume that I must be some sort of savant. The thing is, I've probably read more computer books, done more homework, and actually keyed in more examples than most people with four year Computer Science degrees. What I'm missing, honestly, is Calculus and Trigonometry. I can, however, do binary algebra with the best of them (and frankly, I've never once been asked to do the sorts of graphics processing that would require the math that I'm missing).\nI started with nothing but my hobby background in BASIC, and went to the book store looking for a book on C. Well, I started with a book that was well above my head, A Small C Compiler by James Hendrix. I read a lot of it, but it talked so much about the limitations of computer internals that it probably did me more harm than good. I realized that I was missing something fundamental but I wasn't sure what it was.\nI then picked up a book on Intel Assembly Language (and a copy of MASM that Norm had handed me). I read through some of this, and I saw a distant glow of possibility, but nothing really clicked. I borrowed some other books from people at work, started reading those, too. I just didn't really understand what I was looking at. All of this, though, like the first book I picked up, did a lot of talking about what the hardware itself was doing.\nMy mother had a book from when she went to college called Digital Fundamentals by Thomas Floyd. This is the book that made it all click for me. It starts with binary algebra, and the CMOS logic gates that implements the binary algebra. It talks about memory, and gate sets, and functions implemented in gate arrays, and finished on microprocessors, specifically calling out the 8088, the very set of Intel Assembly that I had been reading about before that.\nI spent the next three months diligently writing assembly from my various books, going so far as rushing through the examples in Assembly Programming: For Real Programmers Only by Marcus Johnson, including the Windows examples, and excluding the device driver examples.\nFrom there, I went back to the C books, but this time, I would compile the samples into Assembly so that I would understand what was actually happening. After a few more months, I stopped reading and using assembly, and I started trusting what the compiler was doing.\nThen, as a way to give myself a project, I wrote a Klondike Solitaire program, including graphics and mouse control (but no \"win\" detection) under Watcom C and DOS 4. When it worked, I was amazed.\nMeanwhile, At the Office\n\nBy way of recognizing that I was learning things about computers in general, I was hired into the computer operations group. I did very well at this job, and it was a place where questioning everything, all of the time was not only encouraged ... it was rewarded. I sometimes caught things that other operators didn't catch, and I know I made some enemies during this time. I didn't mean to be hurtful, but I was cocky.\nAt one point, there was a general call to all of the computer operators. There is a programmer job, and everyone is encouraged to turn in a program they wrote (executable and source code). Except me, every person who applied had been going to the local college for Computer Science. Except me, every applicant turned in their final assignment from the C class (a single user customer-service management app). I ... turned in my lowly solitaire program, and I got the job!\nTwo weeks before my new job starts, I hear that Norm Bronstein was being laid off. He was \"too slow\". I will always feel bad about this. This man had been a mentor to me, and I ended up replacing him. I was a UNIX shell programmer for a few months, then I was a C programmer for almost a year. Then, after I was put under a manager who had been in operations when I had been cocky, I ended up switching roles and working as a UNIX Administrator for a while. Eventually I was a team lead over the operations team that I had previously worked in.\nThen, after a rather scary change of management at that company, I decided to move to another state (the company closed 5 months later). I had done a lot to train in one of the operations guys to do a lot of the UNIX Admin job that I was also doing, and recommended him as my replacement on the way out the door. That guy got the job, for the little time the company lasted.\nLegitimate Work\n\nI had spent my first five+ professional years at a company where a friend of a friend worked. Even my getting the programming job over the other guys could have been, at least partly, because of that nepotism. I wasn't fully sure of myself, but I knew in my heart that I had some legitimate skills. So, when I found myself in a new state, and a new market, I was worried. I stayed unemployed for over six weeks, and finally got a contracting job running Linux systems (1,600 Linux systems), and I did fine. I was there for 5 months (and I often don't list this on my CV).\nAt the end of that contract, I found a new job doing HP/UX administration and software support. After six months, I started repairing laptops and picking up the rest of the IT admin work at this company (their only IT support was in another country). I had one of those tough negotiations with my manager, and got the title IT Manager after 8 months. While I was there, only sometimes with part-time employees, I started using Perl to do automation work. I also did Oracle DBA work, and became certified in Progress 9 (another database).\nAt the end of my time there, the comptroller let me know that they were looking to outsource my job to an external IT contractor (I wasn't actually making that much, but they were looking to sell, and wanted to cut down the salary base pre-sale). I was at this company for over six years, ending as the Director of IT. Just before my end-date, I found a contract job as a Perl programmer.\nAt the end of a six month contract as a Perl programmer, I was hired full-time. My job was Technical Team Leader. I was a Technical Team Leader with teams of 1 to 4 people for five years, and then was promoted to Development manager. I don't program or administer anything anymore. It's been 21 years since this tale began, and I'm happy that I've made it to management. Strangely, while I miss being \"close to the metal\" and doing stuff, I can also tell ... I'm slow and sloppy now. Maybe I'm just out of practice. Or maybe, it's the slow that was creeping up on Norm all those years back. I'll never be sure.\nFin.\n ","wordCount":"2307","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2014-07-21T18:35:00.002-04:00","dateModified":"2015-09-16T11:47:45.761-04:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2014/07/professional-autobiography/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

would have found a job in this field, but I can say that knowing how to type meant I was in a better paying job by the time I got an interview.<br><br>In the early mornings at the vocational school, I played with their IBM computers that would boot to a BASIC prompt, and wrote many silly little programs in my spare time. &nbsp;I didn't own a computer of my own, and I just thought that putting in commands, and making the computer do what I wanted seemed like magic. &nbsp;Either way, it was a game to me, and I never once thought that I'd have a chance to ever do anything with this.<br><br>I thought I knew at the time that "real programmers" could do a very different kind of magic. &nbsp;I thought that computer programmers were Electronics Engineering majors that could write an entire functional program in their head, and type it out in binary without thought (this is what the movies taught me). &nbsp;For the most part, this is still what movies teach, and that is too bad.<br><br><b>Office Work</b><br><br>About a year after I left school, I was able to quit my job in a K-Mart garden center for an office job doing data entry. &nbsp;This was a friend connection job, as so many successful starting out stories are, and the only prerequisite was that I know how to type. &nbsp;I took the job, at just under twice minimum wage at the time, and was doing so much better than I had at K-Mart that I thought I was set.<br><br>Several things all happened in a six month span that were all very amazing. &nbsp;A roommate couldn't pay his rent, I had a very bad interview,

with the rent was good. &nbsp;Then, on the third month, he couldn't pay his rent. &nbsp;Then, he brought home a computer, and suggested a barter. &nbsp;I wanted it, and it was too easy to talk me into it. &nbsp;It had a 286 processor when Pentium processors were already out (three versions old), and I reasoned that it could have been sold cheaply and handed down. &nbsp;I knew then that it was

played with their IBM computers that would boot to a BASIC prompt, and wrote many silly little programs in my spare time. &nbsp;I didn't own a computer of my own, and I just thought that putting in commands, and making the computer do what I wanted seemed like magic. &nbsp;Either way, it was a game to me, and I never once thought that I'd have a chance to ever do anything with this.<br><br>I thought I knew at the time that "real programmers" could do a very different kind of magic. &nbsp;I thought that computer programmers were Electronics Engineering majors that could write an entire functional program in their head, and type it out in binary without thought (this is what the movies taught me). &nbsp;For the most part, this is still what movies teach, and that is too bad.<br><br><b>Office Work</b><br><br>About a year after I left school, I was able to quit my job in a K-Mart garden center for an office job doing data entry. &nbsp;This was a friend connection job, as so many successful starting out stories are, and the only prerequisite was that I know how to type. &nbsp;I took the job, at just under twice minimum wage at the time, and was doing so much better than I had at K-Mart that I thought I was set.<br><br>Several things all happened in a six month span that were all very amazing. &nbsp;A roommate couldn't pay his rent, I had a very bad interview, and I opened my mind to new possibilities.<br><div><br></div><div>At home, my girlfriend at the time and I had a roommate for a while. &nbsp;He was there for only five months total, but his helping with the rent was good. &nbsp;Then, on the third month, he couldn't pay his rent. &nbsp;Then, he brought home a computer, and suggested a barter. &nbsp;I wanted it, and it was too easy to talk me into it. &nbsp;It had a 286 processor when Pentium processors were already out (three versions old), and I reasoned that it could have been sold cheaply and handed down. &nbsp;I knew then that it was probably stolen, and that it was wrong for me to agree to take it. &nbsp;It came with MS-DOS, and had some programs on there that I had no interest in, and deleted. &nbsp;For the first time in my life, I had a computer at home.</div><div><br></div>While doing this job, I got a job interview for a Mechanical Drafting job. &nbsp;This is what I thought my path was, so I went on the interview. &nbsp;I found out that the job payed 20% less than I was already making, and that they thought that they were paying generous wages. &nbsp;Then, surprising everyone there (including me) I spent most of the interview time asking them about their technology and how it works (and even had some notes on how they could improve it). &nbsp;The guy who ran the place told me that I probably need to be in the Information Technology field.&nbsp;&nbsp;I gave up on the idea of using my vocational schooling at that point.<br><br>After not so long doing data-entry, I started realizing that most people who work in an office environment, in my area of the country, drove cars. &nbsp;Even people in that same office, and same company, drove cars. &nbsp;They were not fabulous cars, not necessarily even new cars, but I took the bus or rode my bicycle to the office. &nbsp;So, I start looking at what these other people do, and I realize that they are all either computer programmers or computer administrators. &nbsp;In my head, all magicians to be revered.<br><br>I started talking to the programmers here and there, and a couple of things started to strike me. &nbsp;First, these guys knew more, but they weren't really smarter than I was. &nbsp;Second, programming even relatively simple things took these guys a long time. &nbsp;They didn't write in BASIC, they mostly wrote in C (I didn't know anything about C, but I figured that I could learn it). &nbsp;I started asking questions. &nbsp;I started reading technical manuals for the computer systems that they had.<br><br>Norman Bronstein worked there. &nbsp;This guy was in his 60s (at the time), and loved to tell tales about when he used to work for Bell Labs in New Jersey. &nbsp;He talked about technology, and handed me compiler software to load at home (this was pre-internet, I didn't even know this stuff could be purchased by mere mortals, and certainly wasn't aware of software piracy as a problem). &nbsp;He bought me one of my first books on learning the C language...<br><br><b>Self Schooling</b><br><b><br></b>When people hear that I don't have a college degree, most assume that I must be some sort of savant. &nbsp;The thing is, I've probably read more computer books, done more homework, and actually keyed in more examples than most people with four year Computer Science degrees. &nbsp;What I'm missing, honestly, is Calculus and Trigonometry. &nbsp;I can, however, do binary algebra with the best of them (and frankly, I've never once been asked to do the sorts of graphics processing that would require the math that I'm missing).<br><br>I started with nothing but my hobby background in BASIC, and went to the book store looking for a book on C. &nbsp;Well, I started with a book that was well above my head, A Small C Compiler by James Hendrix. &nbsp;I read a lot of it, but it talked so much about the limitations of computer internals that it probably did me more harm than good. &nbsp;I realized that I was missing something fundamental but I wasn't sure what it was.<br><br>I then picked up a book on Intel Assembly Language (and a copy of MASM that Norm had handed me). &nbsp;I read through some of this, and I saw a distant glow of possibility, but nothing really clicked. &nbsp;I borrowed some other books from people at work, started reading those, too. &nbsp;I just didn't really understand what I was looking at. &nbsp;All of this, though, like the first book I picked up, did a lot of talking about what the hardware itself was doing.<br><br>My mother had a book from when she went to college called Digital Fundamentals by Thomas Floyd. &nbsp;This is the book that made it all click for me. &nbsp;It starts with binary algebra, and the CMOS logic gates that implements the binary algebra. &nbsp;It talks about memory, and gate sets, and functions implemented in gate arrays, and finished on microprocessors, specifically calling out the 8088, the very set of Intel Assembly that I had been reading about before that.<br><br>I spent the next three months diligently writing assembly from my various books, going so far as rushing through the examples in Assembly Programming: For Real Programmers Only by Marcus Johnson, including the Windows examples, and excluding the device driver examples.<br><br>From there, I went back to the C books, but this time, I would compile the samples into Assembly so that I would understand what was actually happening. &nbsp;After a few more months, I stopped reading and using assembly, and I started trusting what the compiler was doing.<br><br>Then, as a way to give myself a project, I wrote a Klondike Solitaire program, including graphics and mouse control (but no "win" detection) under Watcom C and DOS 4. &nbsp;When it worked, I was amazed.<br><br><b>Meanwhile, At the Office</b><br><b><br></b>By way of recognizing that I was learning things about computers in general, I was hired into the computer operations group. &nbsp;I did very well at this job, and it was a place where questioning everything, all of the time was not only encouraged ... it was rewarded. &nbsp;I sometimes caught things that other operators didn't catch, and I know I made some enemies during this time. &nbsp;I didn't mean to be hurtful, but I was cocky.<br><br>At one point, there was a general call to all of the computer operators. &nbsp;There is a programmer job, and everyone is encouraged to turn in a program they wrote (executable and source code). &nbsp;Except me, every person who applied had been going to the local college for Computer Science. &nbsp;Except me, every applicant turned in their final assignment from the C class (a single user customer-service management app). &nbsp;I ... turned in my lowly solitaire program, and I got the job!<br><br>Two weeks before my new job starts, I hear that Norm Bronstein was being laid off. &nbsp;He was "too slow". &nbsp;I will always feel bad about this. &nbsp;This man had been a mentor to me, and I ended up replacing him. &nbsp;I was a UNIX shell programmer for a few months, then I was a C programmer for almost a year. &nbsp;Then, after I was put under a manager who had been in operations when I had been cocky, I ended up switching roles and working as a UNIX Administrator for a while. &nbsp;Eventually I was a team lead over the operations team that I had previously worked in.<br><br>Then, after a rather scary change of management at that company, I decided to move to another state (the company closed 5 months later). &nbsp;I had done a lot to train in one of the operations guys to do a lot of the UNIX Admin job that I was also doing, and recommended him as my replacement on the way out the door. &nbsp;That guy got the job, for the little time the company lasted.<br><br><b>Legitimate Work</b><br><b><br></b>I had spent my first five+ professional years at a company where a friend of a friend worked. &nbsp;Even my getting the programming job over the other guys could have been, at least partly, because of that nepotism. &nbsp;I wasn't fully sure of myself, but I knew in my heart that I had some legitimate skills. &nbsp;So, when I found myself in a new state, and a new market, I was worried. &nbsp;I stayed unemployed for over six weeks, and finally got a contracting job running Linux systems (1,600 Linux systems), and I did fine. &nbsp;I was there for 5 months (and I often don't list this on my CV).<br><br>At the end of that contract, I found a new job doing HP/UX administration and software support. &nbsp;After six months, I started repairing laptops and picking up the rest of the IT admin work at this company (their only IT support was in another country). &nbsp;I had one of those tough negotiations with my manager, and got the title IT Manager after 8 months. &nbsp;While I was there, only sometimes with part-time employees, I started using Perl to do automation work. &nbsp;I also did Oracle DBA work, and became certified in Progress 9 (another database).<br><br>At the end of my time there, the comptroller let me know that they were looking to outsource my job to an external IT contractor (I wasn't actually making that much, but they were looking to sell, and wanted to cut down the salary base pre-sale). &nbsp;I was at this company for over six years, ending as the Director of IT. &nbsp;Just before my end-date, I found a contract job as a Perl programmer.<br><br>At the end of a six month contract as a Perl programmer, I was hired full-time. &nbsp;My job was Technical Team Leader. &nbsp;I was a Technical Team Leader with teams of 1 to 4 people for five years, and then was promoted to Development manager. &nbsp;I don't program or administer anything anymore. &nbsp;It's been 21 years since this tale began, and I'm happy that I've made it to management. &nbsp;Strangely, while I miss being "close to the metal" and doing stuff, I can also tell ... I'm slow and sloppy now. &nbsp;Maybe I'm just out of practice. &nbsp;Or maybe, it's the slow that was creeping up on Norm all those years back. &nbsp;I'll never be sure.<br><br><b>Fin.</b><br><br><br><br><br></div></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/blog/>blog</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/personal/>personal</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/work/>work</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2014/10/electronics-mod-ensoniq-ks-32/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Electronics Mod: Ensoniq KS-32</span></a>

I'm still thankful for the great deal I got on it. I'm also greatful that the guy I bought it from didn't break my leg, since I didn't finish paying that really good price for 3 years. Despite some harrowing times (orange juice dumped into it), it still functions to this day.\n\nOne note about the KS-32, is that the settings are stored on-board in RAM, or Random Access Memory. This not not the much better version, NVRAM, where NV stands for Non-Volatile. This means, if there's no power to the memory, the settings are gone. To prevent the settings from being gone every time the KS-32 is powered off, or unplugged, there is a 3-Volt battery onboard. The battery is a fairly common CR2032.\nThere are three problems with this.\nThe battery only lasts between 5 and 7 years. The battery is located inside the chassis (six screws, and an internal ribbon cable to deal with). The battery is soldered directly to the main computer board.  About 2 years ago, after having lost all of my settings, track presets and sequences, I opened it up, removed the old battery (with flat wire-cutters), and put in a new battery, soldered to some lead wires. All good and well, I was able to save settings, and track presets, and everything was happy.     Then, last year, there was some major re-arranging of the room where I keep the keyboard, and I had to unplug it, and put it away (in its hard case, into the closet). When the keyboard moved, happened, the battery moved around on its wires, and shorted itself out ... probably not for long (it still has a charge now), but for long enough that the keyboard lost all of its settings.     Well, when I set the keyboard up, and realized that it had lost its settings again (I have a SysEx backup this time), I decided I needed to do something smarter with the battery situation. So I did some research on CR batteries, and decided to go bigger.    The Mod   Parts list   CR2450 button battery 2450 button battery holder x2 3 x1.5 inch circuit board from radio shack Red and Black wire spools Electrical Tape Nuts and bolts (x4) Washers (x16) 3 x 2 inch piece of plexiglass. Thin cable tie  Tools   Soldiering iron Dremel Tool Screwdrivers Pliers Wire cutters. Multi-Meter   I soldered the two button battery holders onto the circuit board (buy more than you need, they can break in shipping). I connected them in parallel, and then connected 6 inch extension leads to both sides, soldiering everything in place. I then checked the connections end-to-end with the ohm setting of the multimeter, to make sure the connections were good.      I used the Dremel tool to dig through the plexiglass so that I could screw the circuit board to it. Lining up the plexiglass with the four pre-drilled holes of the circuit board, I drilled the first four holes. This way the back of the circuit board (where my solder points are) can't short out on the metal case of the KS-32. I also added a fifth hole on one side of the plexiglass so that I can loosely attach the entire thing to the inside of the KS-32 (to not stress any connections).     Once the holes were drilled, I put the 4 bolts through the plexiglass holes. Stacked 4 washers on each bolt (as a stand-off ... other solutions would work just as well), and fed the circuit board (which has four pre-drilled screw holes already) on top. The nuts are added on top of that. Pliers and screwdriver are used to tighten the circuit board to the plexiglass. I added some electrical tape to cover the bolt heads, just in case they make contact with the back of one of the circuit boards inside the KS-32.     Next, I removed the old battery (from the leads that I had put in earlier), though, the leads can be attached directly to the original battery mounts. Then I soldered the leads together. I cannot stress enough to make sure that battery + matches circuit-board +, and that battery - matches circuit board -. I used red and black insulated wires to indicate polarity at every step.     Once everything is soldered in place, do one more multi-meter check to verify that the connections on the battery holder terminals reach all the way to the circuit board. Then I electrical-taped the movable solder connections on the lead wires.     I then took a thin cable tie, and fed it around a stand-off on the upper circuit board assembly, then through the fifth hole on the plexiglass. I closed it only to the point where it started to click (not tight).     Finally, I put one battery into one battery holder (it doesn't matter which one - but it does matter how the battery goes in). Aside, If you made it this far, you must be really into mod projects without pictures, or you are board. I appreciate it either way.     I closed the KS-32, turned it on ... set some settings, saved some preferences, and then turned it off and unplugged it. After a few minutes, I plugged it back in, turned it on, and verified that the settings were saved. Success.     The other battery holder is fully connected, and ready to receive a second battery. I've set a reminder to put a second battery in, after four years. I then plan to replace one of the batteries every four years until something else goes wrong, and the keyboard dies.

Lining up the plexiglass with the four pre-drilled holes of the circuit board, I drilled the first four holes. &nbsp;This way the back of the circuit board (where my solder points are) can't short out on the metal case of the KS-32. &nbsp;I also added a fifth hole on one side of the plexiglass so that I can loosely attach the entire thing to the inside of the KS-32 (to not stress any connections).</div><div><br></div><div>Once the holes were drilled, I put the 4 bolts through the plexiglass holes. &nbsp;Stacked 4 washers on each bolt (as a stand-off ... other solutions would work just as well), and fed the circuit board (which has four pre-drilled screw holes already) on top. &nbsp;The nuts are added on top of that. &nbsp;Pliers and screwdriver are used to tighten the circuit board to the plexiglass. &nbsp;I added some electrical tape to cover the bolt heads, just in case they make contact with the back of one of the circuit boards inside the KS-32.</div><div><br></div><div>Next, I removed the old battery (from the leads that I had put in earlier), though, the leads can be attached directly to the original battery mounts. &nbsp;Then I soldered the leads together. &nbsp;I cannot stress enough to make sure that battery + matches circuit-board +, and that battery - matches circuit board -. &nbsp;I used red and black insulated wires to indicate polarity at every step.</div><div><br></div><div>Once everything is soldered in place, do one more multi-meter check to verify that the connections on the battery holder terminals reach all the way to the circuit board. &nbsp;Then I electrical-taped the movable solder connections on the lead wires.</div><div><br></div><div>I then took a thin cable tie, and fed it around a stand-off on the upper circuit board assembly, then through the fifth hole on the plexiglass. &nbsp;I closed it only to the point where it started to click (not tight).</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, I put one battery into one battery holder (it doesn't matter which one - but it does matter how the battery goes in). &nbsp;Aside, If you made it this far, you must be really into mod projects without pictures, or you are board. &nbsp;I appreciate it either way.</div><div><br></div><div>I closed the KS-32, turned it on ... set some settings, saved some preferences, and then turned it off and unplugged it. &nbsp;After a few minutes, I plugged it back in, turned it on, and verified that the settings were saved. &nbsp;Success.</div><div><br></div><div>The other battery holder is fully connected, and ready to receive a second battery. &nbsp;I've set a reminder to put a second battery in, after four years. &nbsp;I then plan to replace one of the batteries every four years until something else goes wrong, and the keyboard dies.</div><div><br></div></div></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/blog/>blog</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/tech/>tech</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2015/01/brooklyn-museum/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Brooklyn Museum</span></a>

Walking up to the building, I'm staring at this strange ultra-modern entrance where in any other museum, I'd expect to see a grand stairway.\n     Source: Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Collection (SUB 0184)    Looked up some history, and found it - sadly, can't find it without the context being construction of the subway. A two story grand stairway used to lead up to the front doors. The crazy modern entrance was added in 2004, but it turns out the stairs were removed way back in 1934 (only 10 some years after the museum's original construction plans were completed). It's heartening to think that even back then the museum board was thinking of things like accessibility.      Source: Brooklyn Museum   Honestly, I think this site would have shocked me even more. It is ugly. It seems that even in the 1930s there could have been a more creative way to make the building accessible from the ground floor. However, it seems that this is the way the building was presented to visitors between 1934 and 2004.   There's a parking lot in the back, there must have been an accessible doorway back there. How else would big statues come in and out?       Source: Brooklyn Museum    Once inside, I was quite surprised at how much stuff was there. I've been in plenty of very big looking museums where there was very little space actually available for public view, and this museum is definitely not like that. All five floors have areas that are open to the public.   We did not plan for a full day, and we should have. We will definitely be going back to see the majority of the museum that we didn't get to see.   If you are, or have ever been fascinated by high heeled shoes, I seriously suggest checking out the Killer Heels exhibition, which closes on March 1.       Source: Brooklyn Museum    Another thing to point out (I was greatly impressed by this) is a room on the fifth floor called the Visible Storage Study Center. It is basically a glass cased warehouse of stuff that wouldn't fit in the rest of the museum. There are iPads and hanging catalogs instead of individual placards. If I see something I like, I type the catalog number into an iPad, and the details come up. To me this felt more interactive, even though a lot of the collection couldn't even be seen very well (like items on high shelves).   Anyway, I'm impressed. Be sure to add it to your list if you are a Museum buff.

Just like the blog entry I left about adding a battery holder to my 1990s era MIDI workstation, I think it's mostly just a sounding board, and notebook for myself. Maybe some of the people who work on this project will read this, maybe not. Anyway, it's a lot of words, and not a lot of specifics.\nJust got off a meeting, kicking off the third phase of a project that I've been working on for 22 months. This is the phase where I hand off management to someone else, and I stay around to help .. answer questions, but mostly try to stay out of the way. Enable confidence in the person taking over, instead of deference.\n\nI asked for someone else to take over. Partly, because the next phase deals with databases that are not directly in my management chain, and partly because two years on a single project is starting to burn me out. My final phase isn't quite over, but it is quickly coming to a close.\n22 months ago, I was named as the delivery manager, and a handful of the best engineers we could gather came together in St. Paul to kick off a major change to the way our databases accept and distribute data changes out to products. The project started with some very lofty, but loose goals, and in two weeks, we all turned those goals into requirements, and from requirements, we came up with a fresh framework ... a fresh approach. We all scattered back to our corners of the world, and further refined the plan. I did my best to break down the approach into the smallest possible chunks, and estimated the overall project at 24 months.\nManagement, stakeholders, development team managers and developers further refined the project plans, and did everything possible to squeeze down the timelines. Eventually, we were approved to start with an unheard-of 18 month plan for phase 1. Projects rarely get approved if they cannot complete in the current fiscal year. But the goals are strategic, and everyone in the management chain above me did their best to sell the benefits.\nI remember reading a very-long time ago that most software projects that are estimated at more than 1 year of work ultimately fail. I took this to heart, very early, and have always done everything in my power to take this project in small parts.\nThis project is something that I'm extremely proud of, and I brought the first phase to completion within 2 months of the original 18 month goal. Through these related software projects, the database that was updated has seen an amazing doubling of delivery times, without an underlying hardware update. Plus opening up possibilities for many new projects. Not all of the original lofty goals could be met, but this project leaves us in a fully functional state where the roadmap to those other goals are obvious.\nAs phase 2 started, without any time to really sit back and figure out what to improve from phase 1, I started making notes about all of the side projects that had come up. Legacy things we had to fix, and get out of the way to make the new software succeed. Without the benefit of doing those side projects BEFORE phase 2, I'm starting to see some of the same dependency delays in phase 2, as I had in phase 1.\nWith this phase 3 kick-off, I have presented these side projects as pre-requisites. Individual stand-alone projects that can be completed within the older infrastructure software that will make the conversion to the new software a lot easier.\nNow that phase 1 is done, and I've really had time to dissect the things that could have been better, I think the separation of those parts, those sub-projects, should have been more formal, earlier. Teams ended up specializing on each project, but there was a /lot/ of places where cross-influence was not controlled in a formal manner. Frankly, I think that I was lucky that there was no part of the process that went wrong while my attention was on something else. Lucky that the team is so mature, and that there are plenty of senior developers who understood the goals and the principles that were set out for this project.\nMake no mistake. Failures happened in phase 1. Major failures in design that could have caused some potential major service issues have had to be flagged and fixed. There were team members who put in some extremely serious hours fixing things ... sometimes because my own advice was followed and wrong. Yet, despite the set-backs, the team succeeded.\nAs phase 2 wraps up, I'm taking this time to look back on what was accomplished, and hope that we continue to see successful completion of the future phases that I now pass on to my colleague.\nIn a very real way, I'm also sad that I'm handing this off to someone else. Yet, I know that there are new challenges to lead, and I'm anxious to help figure out what's next.

There are multiple stores in Manhattan that are not externally identified as  Fla g ship but are. They are usually identified by the area of the city. I didn't r e alize that that area of downtown was a Flagship area.     Flagship : n. : the finest, largest, or most important one of a chain of s t ore s    That's the book definition. However, what it has come to mean, it my experi e nce  is that this is the version of a store that is meant to be 100% camera ready al l of the time. In New York's flagship areas, this also means that only the tren d iest representations for that brand will be present, and that a limited size se l ection will be available.      Some entire brands, of course, are like this. Abercrombie and Fitch has lon g be e n infamous for their brand exclusiveness in this area. I've never stepped foot  into one, because I have never been their target demographic (even when I was a  teenager).      At least the guy in my story below let me know that I had accidentally stepp e d i n to a Flagship store. Now I know to steer clear of that area for anything where  I might want to spend money. The way he told me, though, rubbed me the wrong w a y. Here's my story:    \n      I went to a store near Broadway and Prince Street. This section of Manhatta n , j u st North of Chinatown, has become a shopping district. Many of the stores I'd  b e used to seeing in a nice mall have started to show up here.      This particular shop is for a shoe brand that I've been buying consistently  f or  f ive years. I want new shoes (two pairs - black and brown - as is my habit), so  I looked up the an address, and I happened to find this store was about 30 minu t es closer to me than the one I went to last time.      I went in, and it felt wrong. This place didn't feel like a place where I sh o p,  i t felt a little more like a museum. But... I'm wearing that store's own brand on my feet as  I walk in, and I figure maybe they can help me.      I find a few shoes that are similar to what has been comfortable for me in t h e p a st, and get the attention of one of the trendy and youthful sales staff.       I start by pointing out my own shoes. I explain how these are the most comf o rta b le shoes I've ever had, and I wore the previous version of the same shoe, with  a different name, and different features. I point to a shoe in a different line , and say, those look similar.      I expect him to tell me that the model I'm wearing is no longer made, and th e n o f fer to show me some other things that might be similar. Maybe even the shoes t h at I just pointed at.      I nstead, things went sideways. Paraphrased: That shoe line you are wearing  isn ' t available in this store, though we have some of that line on the Women's side . So, what you can do is go to one of our other stores, and they might be able  t o find your discontinued model, or maybe we can find something for you here.     At this point, I'm getting this vibe that I'm being told that I don't belong  her e . But, I realize, too, he's also just telling me that the whole line that I am  used to just isn't available. It's a Sunday night, the other stores won't have  a long period of being open by the time I take the next half-hour of ride to ge t there. I made the trip, but I'm also annoyed. I say, \"So, I made a mistake c o ming here, and I should go to your other store?\" Had he said, \"Yeah, sorry.\"  I wouldn't have had the time to really get pissed off. Instead he keeps yammeri n g.        Paraphrasing again: See, we're a flagship store, so we only have the newest  m ode l s. As soon as something new is announced, we ship the old stuff off to another  store.      Now I have a VERY strong feeling that he doesn't want me shopping here.  He's done nothing at all to st e er me back into a sale. Okay, he's young, I give him another chance. \"Do you  h ave wide sizes here?\"     The guy scoffs. He tells me that this store has very limited wide sizes. A n y w i de that they might have would be in the most expensive premium line. Then he b a ckpedals, and explains that even in that line, the selection would be limited.     Instead of helping me find what they do have, he explained to me all the rea s ons  that they won't have anything I'm looking for. Maybe, maybe I read the whole s i tuation wrong, but I honestly felt like I was being pushed out the door, like s o me sort of Pretty Woman moment. Anyway, I was pissed off, and I said, \"I  get it, I'm not young enough or skinny enough to shop here.\"     The guy, to his credit, blurted a confused version of I'm sorry. I said, \"N o pr o blem.\" and walked out the door, but I was angry.          Somewhere in here there's probably a lesson about customer service. There's  pro b ably also a lesson in how I view Manhattan flagship stores. These are stores that I feel , despite my affinity to a brand, make me feel unwelcome. Thing is, one of the best things about being a grown-up with a desk-job is that I am usually exactly the demographic that most companies want. I get it, fashion is different.

There are multiple stores in Manhattan that are not externally identified as  Fla g ship but are. They are usually identified by the area of the city. I didn't r e alize that that area of downtown was a Flagship area.     Flagship : n. : the finest, largest, or most important one of a chain of s t ore s    That's the book definition. However, what it has come to mean, it my experi e nce  is that this is the version of a store that is meant to be 100% camera ready al l of the time. In New York's flagship areas, this also means that only the tren d iest representations for that brand will be present, and that a limited size se l ection will be available.      Some entire brands, of course, are like this. Abercrombie and Fitch has lon g be e n infamous for their brand exclusiveness in this area. I've never stepped foot  into one, because I have never been their target demographic (even when I was a  teenager).      At least the guy in my story below let me know that I had accidentally stepp e d i n to a Flagship store. Now I know to steer clear of that area for anything where  I might want to spend money. The way he told me, though, rubbed me the wrong w a y. Here's my story:    \n      I went to a store near Broadway and Prince Street. This section of Manhatta n , j u st North of Chinatown, has become a shopping district. Many of the stores I'd  b e used to seeing in a nice mall have started to show up here.      This particular shop is for a shoe brand that I've been buying consistently  f or  f ive years. I want new shoes (two pairs - black and brown - as is my habit), so  I looked up the an address, and I happened to find this store was about 30 minu t es closer to me than the one I went to last time.      I went in, and it felt wrong. This place didn't feel like a place where I sh o p,  i t felt a little more like a museum. But... I'm wearing that store's own brand on my feet as  I walk in, and I figure maybe they can help me.      I find a few shoes that are similar to what has been comfortable for me in t h e p a st, and get the attention of one of the trendy and youthful sales staff.       I start by pointing out my own shoes. I explain how these are the most comf o rta b le shoes I've ever had, and I wore the previous version of the same shoe, with  a different name, and different features. I point to a shoe in a different line , and say, those look similar.      I expect him to tell me that the model I'm wearing is no longer made, and th e n o f fer to show me some other things that might be similar. Maybe even the shoes t h at I just pointed at.      I nstead, things went sideways. Paraphrased: That shoe line you are wearing  isn ' t available in this store, though we have some of that line on the Women's side . So, what you can do is go to one of our other stores, and they might be able  t o find your discontinued model, or maybe we can find something for you here.     At this point, I'm getting this vibe that I'm being told that I don't belong  her e . But, I realize, too, he's also just telling me that the whole line that I am  used to just isn't available. It's a Sunday night, the other stores won't have  a long period of being open by the time I take the next half-hour of ride to ge t there. I made the trip, but I'm also annoyed. I say, \"So, I made a mistake c o ming here, and I should go to your other store?\" Had he said, \"Yeah, sorry.\"  I wouldn't have had the time to really get pissed off. Instead he keeps yammeri n g.        Paraphrasing again: See, we're a flagship store, so we only have the newest  m ode l s. As soon as something new is announced, we ship the old stuff off to another  store.      Now I have a VERY strong feeling that he doesn't want me shopping here.  He's done nothing at all to st e er me back into a sale. Okay, he's young, I give him another chance. \"Do you  h ave wide sizes here?\"     The guy scoffs. He tells me that this store has very limited wide sizes. A n y w i de that they might have would be in the most expensive premium line. Then he b a ckpedals, and explains that even in that line, the selection would be limited.     Instead of helping me find what they do have, he explained to me all the rea s ons  that they won't have anything I'm looking for. Maybe, maybe I read the whole s i tuation wrong, but I honestly felt like I was being pushed out the door, like s o me sort of Pretty Woman moment. Anyway, I was pissed off, and I said, \"I  get it, I'm not young enough or skinny enough to shop here.\"     The guy, to his credit, blurted a confused version of I'm sorry. I said, \"N o pr o blem.\" and walked out the door, but I was angry.          Somewhere in here there's probably a lesson about customer service. There's  pro b ably also a lesson in how I view Manhattan flagship stores. These are stores that I feel , despite my affinity to a brand, make me feel unwelcome. Thing is, one of the best things about being a grown-up with a desk-job is that I am usually exactly the demographic that most companies want. I get it, fashion is different. I can deal with some parts of that. Maybe it's just that I've n e ver gotten this attitude from a shoe store before.

Tickets went on sale at noon, here's how it went.\nStarted with a friendly, Virtual Queue, page talking about how a cookie has been set to reserve my place in line, no need to refresh frantically - everything will be handled in the right order, followed by a warning: if you refresh too much, you will be banned for abuse. Six minutes later, I'm looking at a browser error screen:\n408 Request Time-out Your browser didn't send a complete request in time.  It takes 30 full seconds for each 408 error to appear, exactly the same - every time. I refresh, once every 30 seconds for about 20 minutes, and get back to the Virtual Queue page. This pattern repeats for almost 90 minutes.\nI finally get to the order page, some types are already sold out, including the 3 day, so I select 4 day tickets (you have to take off Thursday AND Friday to use these fully). The max is set to 4, I need 2. Click next. Wait for the full 30 seconds...\n408  Try again, 408   \n  ...try again,408   \n  ...try again,\n408  ...tickets are in cart. And there's a completion clock already ticking down. Select delivery, Next. Another 30 seconds which always precedes another.\n408   408    408     Mandatory survey with 6 minutes to go. Gender, Age Range, Three ranked, Why do you do put up with this? Something else, and click agree on a zero tolerance harassment policy. Next.\n408   408    408     Mandatory survey with 4 minutes to go. Nothing stayed with the refresh. Fill out again, Next.\n408   408     Mandatory survey with 1 minute to go. I christmas tree it as fast as I can. Next.\nThe browser spins as the clock reaches zero.\n408    I'm back at the order page. There are even more things sold out, but there's still a drop down for what I want. The drop down doesn't go to 4 anymore, it only goes to two, but that's all I wanted.\nSelect, Next.\nNo 408 this time.\nThere are not that many bundles available, select again.  I'm back at the order screen, the drop down only goes to 1. Like a troll cartoon singing, \"you are meant to be alone.\"\n408   408    408    I get back to the cart with counting clock thinking, and 1 ticket. I stare at my screen in disbelief for a minute with the clock counting down. Finally, I close my browser, realizing that I wasn't going to spend that kind of money and risk the possibility of trying to go through it again and having only one ticket, while trying to go through the whole thing again.     So, I closed my browser and read the Twitter #NYCC and #NYCCTix tags about a whole lot of scalpers who were DDOSing (Distributed Denial of Service - overwhelming a resource by making requests from a large number of other computers) the system so that they could sell as many as possible of the $104 tickets for $500 or more.  Conclusion\nSo for over two hours of my time, in the end I didn't purchase anything, and I won't be going.\nAt first I railed against all the scalpers who were basically using farming operations (rows of users and computers, manually DDOSing the systems to get as many tickets as possible) to scoop their own illicit profit from something that has consistently sold out year on year. And while this is what likely caused the 408 error itself, the Virtual Queue system still kept that from killing the experience.\nWith the clarity of sleep, it's the 408 errors, and the unfairness of putting a cart clock onto a system that is fraught with internal timeouts that was the real problem. Each 408 repeating like Poe's The Raven, making me question my browser, my computer, my internet connection ... my own self worth? The system taunts me to keep trying.\n408 Request Time-out Your browser didn't send a complete request in time.  This follows the exact same pattern as a bully playing keep away with a much smaller child. At the end of this I was emotionally exhausted and feeling anger about the unfairness of things.\nTo the programmers and admins who look over the logs, if they find my session and follow it, I have no doubt that what they'll see is some idiot who got into a cart, selected two tickets and refused to fill out the survey. Then selected one ticket, and then never came back. They'll probably try to eliminate my behavior, as just some troll who just put tickets in reserve for a while. And, to me, that is the real saddest part of this. In the end, I look like the problem user they need to fix.\nBut just look at me, how pathetic, feeling inferior to my bully.

With this came a very large number of little changes in many places. At that point (2013), the Authban script became a full OO Perl application module set, in which, PfCtl.pm is one piece.

Despite my running a production system (and not a honey-pot), I was asked to contribute my threats.

However, as of today, I should be contributing my threats as promised. The aggregator takes some pains to not reveal the IPs or locations of the contributors, but since I'm running a web site and would rather be black-listed as a honey-pot, I'm happy to mention it here.\nStill to come\nSome of the other upgrades I'm doing has to do with ramping up my use of MySql, not only to store threats already blocked, but to store tallies on all IP addresses that contact my site for any reason. This will help me detect attacks that happen slowly, over weeks (and over log rotations) that I might now always pick up, currently. Also, by keeping these sorts of statistics, I'll also be able to scan all the various log files from the place I last left off, instead of the current method of reading every log file from the beginning. I try to run 3 times per minute, and if the log rotation wheels are against me, I can sometimes go a week where the run-time consistently lasts longer than 20 seconds. By the time I'm done with the second rewrite, I want to see this additional database functionality working.\nI still have multiple modules (like the one that does twitter) that includes embedded authentication information. I also do not have all of the threat vectors that I have defined put into an external configuration file. Both of these prevent me from publishing this little work somewhere. Maybe this won't happen as part of the second rewrite, but I do plan to get this done at some point.

What I'm talking about here is PC gaming in stereoscopic 3D. This is gaming that not only depicts a 3D play environment, but also looks 3D to the player's eyes.\n  I remember that Descent came out in 1995, and it had support for a virtual reality headset called the Forte VFX-1. That's 20 years ago. There were a few 3D games before that, and several have come out since. Immersive 3D worlds have become common-place in video games. Recently, everyone has been talking about Oculus Rift, the new VR headset that's supposed to show up for retail next year. With that in mind, I didn't research much, I assumed that 3D was already a thing on PC.   I am very much a fan of flight simulation and flying games in general. I have a decent HOTAS (Hands-On Throttle and Stick) as well as a very nice set of rudder pedals. As such, I'll talk about flight simulation first. The most common and popular software for this is Microsoft's Flight Simulator series that has been around for a VERY long time. It was the first of the programs to let us fly around the actual world that we know in real life. I remember trying to land on the simplistic Brooklyn Bridge using Flight Simulator in the early 1990s. I clearly remember there was some fanfare about Flight Simulator 2004 supporting stereoscopic 3D. The latest (and last) version of Flight Simulator that was actually made by Microsoft was Flight Simulator X that came out in 2010.   So, I turn on Flight Simulator X with the nVidia 3D Vision enabled and everything seems to go quite well. The spinning aircraft in the Free Flight setup window shows up in actual 3D. So, I select a nice scenic area, and a fairly simple aircraft and launch the game. After a quarter second of scary black screen, everything sync's up, and the world looks perfect. Look around everything is where I expect it in space. Until... I see any lighting of the airport itself.   I don't know how to describe this except to say that it seems like airport lighting is an afterthought. Once they've rendered the 3D world using the Video Card hardware for what it does best, it seems that the lighting is added to the screen. This means that the lighting is sitting at screen depth. This also means that as your eyes line up the far away background, the screen-depth lighting appears to show up twice... or, if you focus on the lights, the background becomes double. Sigh. That means Flight Simulator looks great as long as you never go towards an Airport. I really like to finish a session with a decent landing, and, well, this makes that pretty impossible. Turn off the 3D, and I'm happy with my setup with this game. The Microsoft folks never said they supported NVidia's 3D Vision with Flight SImulator X (which surprised me), but it was worth a try.   I look around at other options, and figure I'll start with the nVidia site. They have a handy list of games that are certified as 3D Vision Ready. I drop down the selector and see a Genre for Flight Sim. Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 is the only game listed. Okay, so, I go to the site for the game itself, and they don't even have a trailer. It came out 5 years ago in 2010. There are a couple of pictures, but it's not clear if it is a mock up of the world, or if it's something from a cut scene, or is it from game-play? The smallest and crappiest image on the whole site seems to be from game-play, and I got to say, that's not encouraging. Maybe I'll buy this, but not without at least finding a decent review.   So, what about non certified? Pretty much anybody says that the best flight simulator software out there is X-Plane 10 (warning that link has an auto-play video). X-Plane runs on all three popular Operating Systems. I go check out the forums, and no. It will not do stereoscopic 3D at all. NVidia's 3D drivers only support games written in DirectX, not OpenGL. That makes sense, I suppose, from a development stand-point (and their competition holds the same limitation), but there are a lot of games out there that use OpenGL. I will be buying a copy of this anyway, since it's basically the only new non-combat Flight Sim out there at all.   I like racing games, too. Same place, drop down the Genre box to Racing. There are two titles, but neither are for sale anymore. GT Legends and rFactor 2. Supposedly these were great games. I note that most reviews I can find of 3D gaming, screenshots of GT Legends are usually prominent. Fair, but both of these games came out 10 years ago. I think I can still find a copy of one or both on Steam, but I didn't buy a new gaming rig to play stuff that my old rig could have played, but now in 3D. The newest games officially supported are not that new.     Since, supposedly, MS Flight Simulator 2004 actually works, and I have a dusty copy, I might try the even older version of FS for 3D compatibility, but as I said, I didn't buy this rig to play games my old one could have played (and in this case, DID play).     I will note that almost any game that came out under the game engine Unreal 3 might work, since Unreal 3, itself, did support nVidia 3D vision (and several of the 2011 titles with official nVidia support were coded using Unreal 3). This brings me to the title that I am most excited (after 20 years) to play. Descent is being recoded and re-released as a prequel. Descent: Underground is currently in Beta, and was coded using the Unreal 4 engine. In the Microsoft-like tradition of Flight Simulator 2004 to X, Unreal dropped support for NVidia 3D Vision. That means that the new generation of games coming have almost zero chance of 3D support. Further, Descent: Underground is supposed to support the Oculus Rift, but there are problems with that, too.     So, that's where we are? There are only a handful of titles that support stereoscopic 3D viewing that have come out in the last 3 years, and none of them excite me.     Meanwhile, I think I'll watch 3D Blu-Ray movies on my rig, because those actually do work quite flawlessly. I'm glad I decided to build my rig with an actual Blu-Ray drive, so the 3D stuff doesn't feel like a complete waste of money.

Now you are.\"\nSomeone said this to me who had heard the same from someone else. This comes from about three years ago, and was said in the context of my then current role (having moved from process and supervisory management to direct people management). It bothered me.\nI first got to be in management, some 20 years ago. That was the first time I was given a supervisory role (one person!) and primary responsibility for a set of machines. I had worked as a developer and IT systems administrator for a few years before I got that role. I left that first professional job at the end of 1998. I was super young, and I was family-in-law of the CTO, so I didn't really think the supervisory experience would count for much.\nI got another job as a non-manager doing IT and customer support. This was the first job where I didn't know anybody. I was at that company for just over 6 years. Within the first full year of working there, I was given an IT Manager title. Why? I advocated for myself, and pointed out that I was doing that job already. I had learned to take responsibility of things, processes, the way a manager would. The year I first got that \"Manager\" title was 2000. By the time I left that company, I was the Director of IT (I think that happened in 2003 or 2004). That company decided to outsource the IT department in preparation for selling out to another entity. It was a pretty small company, and I never had any direct reports (I had people I could borrow for IT projects, but that was the extent of it). So, as far as people go, it was also a supervisory role. I didn't really think it would count for much. But ... I wanted it to count.\nThis brings us to the company I work for now, March of 2006. I found myself a job doing computer programming, as a contractor. I did that for six months, and then was hired full time by the same company as a development team lead in September of 2006 (which is another supervisory / management role).\nGetting back to the point, someone - at some point during my early time at this company - took my early talk about past management as wanting to be one so badly. As if I had zero experience. Which may mean that someone might have thought they were taking a huge risk on putting me in a management role. I was insulted by that three years ago.\n  I surely let that person know that my management role wasn't a fluke, and pointed out that I've started as a non-manager at three companies, and in all three reached some level of management. It was almost like I was trying to get him to relay this to whomever he initially heard it from. Ultimately, I was only bothered by it because they were right. I had only been a people manager at that point for a little over a year. I was only a few months past having to fire an entire development team (project cancelled). My lack of experience bothered me, so it bothered me more that my lack of experience would also be something others would talk about with someone else.\nI've been promoted several times in the 10 years since I've started working in my current company. I'm not Director level again, but the manager title I have feels like it means more in the huge company I work for than it did in the relatively tiny company I worked for then. People management has a lot to do with that.\nWhen I started at the current company, I was partly ashamed that I used to be a Director, and now I'm only a programmer, then team lead, process manager, engagement manager. I was even more ashamed that I had no experience with direct reports ... supervisory experience counts, but not as much as having to make hiring and firing decisions.\nI've never stopped learning about being a manager. Sometimes, I'm faking it until I figure it out. That is, though, the part of management where owning the solution to a problem requires compromise, and no single answer is obvious. These are the times I weigh the experiences and warnings of my team and stakeholders and make a decision. Ultimately, the important part is that I am willing to be responsible for the decisions that I've made. Now, I look back and realize that I've been doing that part for 20 years. It's still the hardest part of the job. It's no longer the most stressful part, but it is still the hardest part.\nWell, maybe the hardest part is realizing that when others talk about me openly and honestly, I should probably listen instead of getting defensive. Misplaced pride doesn't help anyone.

In the context of sexual liaisons here are some samples of things I have heard:   She was all over me She couldn’t keep her hands off me I leaned in to ask her something and she just started kissing me She couldn’t resist me\nThat last one is important, because it is the one that comes closest to being the kind of “locker room banter” that Trump said. Here's the difference, the context of the \"she couldn’t resist me,” brag has always been attraction. There's the brag about being smooth, saying those right words. There are even the boasts that are about attraction to power. Honestly, some of what Trump said on that tape could absolutely be in that context. Except:  \"I just kiss. I don't even wait. When you're a star, they let you do it. ... Grab em by the pussy. You can do anything.\"  Outside of dramatic entertainment, I’ve never heard this type of brag in the context of power without attraction. In the context of power alone, this describes assault. It makes one criminal, not smooth.      I bother saying this because when the sports folks say \"that shit never comes up,\" or \"that's not something that's commonly said,\" I think something gets lost. It wasn’t the foul language or even the boasting about sexual liaisons, it was the part where raw power is used to ignore preference.

The world is imploding! Well, looking at Twitter it seems the world is imploding.\nThere are certain hot-takes that basically suggest that the world will drown in 3, 2...\nThere are certain hot-takes that basically suggest that we are aligned with Syria by doing this. (There are those that mention Nicaragua, but that country's non-participation is much more complicated).\nFor the things noted above, sigh, I don't care because they are bull excrement (yes, figuratively).\n\nWithin the Paris Accord, the US voluntarily set some goals about reducing emissions. The US is currently near on track to meet those goals. Further, many, if not most, heavy industries will - purely for commercial/marketing reasons - continue to support those goals within the US. Then, a number of US Cities, followed by US States have pledged, individually, to support these goals, too. I have serious doubts about whether this national action is actually going to change the emissions trends. Emissions progress could slow down, but if so, I think it was probably going to slow down anyway. There may even be enough idiots \"blowing coal\" to slow progress. Ultimately, the accord had zero penalties for missed goals.\nAlso within the Paris Accord, the US pledged a fairly large sum of money to help developing countries reach their own goals. This one does matter, or - well - it did until former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg offered to pay this himself. It totally sucks that he had to do that, but it takes away the financial consequence.\nHere's my \"hot take\". Bloomberg paying this bill on behalf of the US makes this a victory for Trump. The federal government saves some money, and nobody is really hurt. That is, the conservative argument about such things has always been around letting the market decide. Well, Bloomberg wanted this enough that he decided to pay for it. The free market wins.\nThere's something much more subtle here that isn't mentioned with quite the flourish and panic, but it is the one thing that really does bother me. The US is a major leader in clean energy initiatives and technologies. The US leadership in the Paris Climate Accord is a big selling point for that new and flourishing industry. Those industries no longer get that marketing \"win\". That could have serious financial consequences in an industry that employs far more people than the coal industry.\nIt could be argued that China was going to surpass us in this industry anyway, but that has been true of computer parts for a long time, and Apple still does just fine ... in partnership with Chinese manufacturing. In this case, it seems quite likely that China will be able to use this as a pivot to show that they don't need US partnership to build out clean energy infrastructure and sell those components to others.\nI think that this marketing spin has a huge amount to do with which cities and states signed on to carry on the Paris Accord... These are the places where clean industries have a foot print. So, maybe those California based industries (like Apple has long done) will simply say \"Designed in California\", and everyone will know that California was one of the first US states to reject the federal decision, and support the Paris Accords anyway.

This book is in desperate need of editing. I fully understand why it was published the way it was, but it was one of the hardest books to read that I've ever sat down for. Here's the thing, I love the comedies he's written for, and I love the comedies he's acted in, but I cannot recommend this book. Maybe, though, this is exactly what you want to read.     eyE Marty is very much like sitting down in front of someone you don't know very well, and having him simply tell you his entire life story. It is conversational in tone, which also means that the timeline slips back and forth with little notes like, \"before I get to that, I have to go back a few years to mention...\" At which point, conversationally, I wanted to say, \"Wait, what year?\" But nobody can answer my inquiry. It's also not always clear when the back-story is finished and we've come back into the \"current\" timeline.     The greatest value of this book, is the foreword by Eric Idle. The foreword is enlightening in its explanation of the things that happened after Marty finished this book. It was finished just before he left for Mexico to film what would become his last movie, Yellowbeard. Also, the foreword was well edited.     Well, at very least, here is a nod to all the book editors out there. You folks rock! Thanks for keeping the narrative flowing.\n Eye Marty\nRare Bird Books\nAutobiography\nReleased: 10 May 2016\nHardcover, 320 pages  ","wordCount":"318","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2018-07-04T12:00:00-04:00","dateModified":"2019-01-06T21:58:37.101-05:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2018/07/eye-marty/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.nyc/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.nyc/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

There's a lot of back and forth between the present and flashbacks. Always done at page gaps or chapter breaks, but it sometimes takes a page to figure out the timeline context. In the case of \"Grandpa\" it is present time, but it took me over half the book to figure that out.\nThe book stops telling a story, but I would call the ending an anti-climax. There were many sub-plots that were not properly wrapped up, and there was ongoing action that hadn't yet resolved. I'd go so far as to say the book ended with a soap-opera style cliffhanger, which is super out-of-place in a book that was otherwise well layered with action.\nThe last page, called Author's Note, basically just asks the readers to forgive the abrupt ending, claims that the next book will not wrap up any of the plot, but teases the next book anyway. That next book is called Moons of Jupiter, I own a copy, but given the Author's Note warning, I doubt I'm going to read it.   The type of this book is almost twice as dense as any other book I've read published this century. The margins are smaller, the lines are packed tighter and the font point is smaller. There are no blanks in its 346 pages. This is the sort of book that a professional editor would have forced some major fixes on, and the book would have been SO much better for it. In the beginning of this book, I was confused by the introduction of words without context or definition. Here are several examples...   Dragon \u0026 Ship (used interchangeably) leaves the impression that maybe they just call spaceships dragons, and that smaller ships that launch from the large ship are just called Fledgling simply because they are like the aircraft of a carrier. I went four pages not sure if the narration was talking about a seafaring vessel or a space craft. It took near a quarter of the book before it became clear that these spaceships are actual living beings, but have been fitted with interface equipment.   Fieldpack, in this book, is a device that creates an atmospheric field around the user. I went through a quarter of the book thinking it was a military pack with mission necessary equipment, but that is what this book calls a flight bag.   Jordan, in this book, is a designation for a dragon pilot, but not the pilot of the big dragon, that person is a captain. Dimlight, on the other hand, was introduced and explained through some really awkward dialog on page 9. Then on page 10, it was explained again with more detail (the lights dim at regular intervals to help with people's circadian rhythms - thus it is a Sci-Fi stand-in for \"day\").   Engineer, as if it should be obvious, is an elf that has kinetic abilities with metals. Basically the superpower of Marvel comics' Magneto without the evil intent or any of the action. I'm not sure why we were introduced to this character having to study star maps. Maybe he was originally going to be a navigator? I don't know, but I again appreciate the job a good editor does.   Finally, I read the whole book, and I'm still not sure if a Troll is a living being or just a helper-droid with advanced AI.  The frustrating thing is that the writing style itself is quite engaging. I never felt lost in the narrative, just lost on words and terms. Bottom line, I cannot recommend this book unless you really, really think that everything I described above sounds like the kind of ride you want.    I purchased this book from the Author at Dragon Con in Atlanta back in 2015.   \n   Drawing the Dragon   Self Published   Science Fiction   Released: 1 February 2011   Paperback, 346 pages.

First and foremost, these are Nordic tales. If you are familiar with these characters from Marvel comics or movies, be prepared to relearn a lot of what you thought you knew. This, in fact, was one of my favorite things about reading these stories.   The stories are told in a way that makes chronological sense in that things that happen to each character stays with them in subsequent tales, (there's really only one glaring exception to this) though each one can totally be read on its own as well.   Neil is a great story teller, and surprisingly there are points where I was pulled from the story by a needless repetition of fact - perhaps because he is telling these stories in a style reminiscent of the original sources: I'm not sure. What I can say is that if this had been my first introduction to this author, I wouldn't put him at the top of my list. That doesn't say this was a bad book - it really wasn't - it's just that I have lofty expectations for this author and this book isn't his best work.   As this has sources, I am filled with the urge to find out more. I'm curious as to how close to the sources these tales actually are. So, while I might not recommend this as a first Gaiman novel, I would absolutely recommend it as an engaging introduction to the gods of Nordic legend.

First and foremost, these are Nordic tales. If you are familiar with these characters from Marvel comics or movies, be prepared to relearn a lot of what you thought you knew. This, in fact, was one of my favorite things about reading these stories.   The stories are told in a way that makes chronological sense in that things that happen to each character stays with them in subsequent tales, (there's really only one glaring exception to this) though each one can totally be read on its own as well.   Neil is a great story teller, and surprisingly there are points where I was pulled from the story by a needless repetition of fact - perhaps because he is telling these stories in a style reminiscent of the original sources: I'm not sure. What I can say is that if this had been my first introduction to this author, I wouldn't put him at the top of my list. That doesn't say this was a bad book - it really wasn't - it's just that I have lofty expectations for this author and this book isn't his best work.   As this has sources, I am filled with the urge to find out more. I'm curious as to how close to the sources these tales actually are. So, while I might not recommend this as a first Gaiman novel, I would absolutely recommend it as an engaging introduction to the gods of Nordic legend.

I didn't read carefully enough. The word \"OUTER\" was included in the description, and I saw that, but -- rails go on the outside of the server.... I didn't really think about what that meant.\nEach rail set has four parts. Front and back of the part that attaches to the rack. A middle drift bar that extends half-way out of the rack-side rails. Then there's the INNER bar that attaches directly to the server, and slides into the OUTER rail set. There are cool counter stops built in so once the server is in place, it can't be pulled off of the set without some careful screw-driver use. Ultimately, though, for each side, I got three of the four pieces I need. Outer (2), Middle (1), but no Inner.\nIs this the seller's fault? No. The words were there, I just didn't really internalize what they meant. I am a bit miffed that I am not able to find JUST an inner rail set for less money. This means that for ANOTHER $25 I'm now ordering another set, this time it has the words \"INNER OUTER\". I figure if it doesn't include the middle rail, I got that in the set I already have.\nI love and hate eBay.

Because it is non-linear, it is not obvious when switching between past, one of two screenplays and the present. One has to carefully pay attention to the cast of characters to help determine *when* one is in the storyline. This is not terribly difficult, but I had trouble getting back into the story when I paused for 48 hours around the middle of the book.     There are many Filipino references that subtly suggest this book isn't meant for me. I don't mean to say that it is exclusionary, but it is definitely written in a way to not bother to introduce most words, phrases and Filipino cultural norms that I am not familiar with. I feel like - to get the full experience - I should read it with Google open nearby, or - more naturally - be from the Philippines. I read a lot, but I'm not that kind of advanced reader, so I just let the things I don't know wash over me in the comfort of knowing I don't need to know everything.     Here's the thing - when I'm in a chapter (as opposed to the jarring start of a chapter, where I haven't figured out where or when I am) - the writing is very engaging, and the characters feel very natural for who and where (or what) they are. That said, the whole book is comprised of two parallel stories in two diverging and emerging screenplays of those stories, wrapped in a story of the two authors. Put another way, it's meta, sometimes self-referentially meta. It is also steeped in more than a little actual history of the islands, which is the part that most interested me (that is, the oldest, lowest level story).\nNow that I've finished reading this book, it started to make a lot of sense. I definitely feel it would all make sense if I read it a second time. That said... there's a lot of books in this world, and I'm not going to make the tiniest dent by revisiting this one.     This is probably a great book to read while on the beach on a Philippines vacation, or if you live or have lived there. It is a decent book if you like to read about the ripple effects that historic events have on lives and cultural perception over time. If everything I wrote above gives you a headache, it's okay to skip this one. I came really close to giving up more than once, but I'm glad I read it.     This is an advanced readers copy from BookExpo America, 2018. There are two things stamped on my copy that make me cautious about publishing a review. First are the words, \"ADVANCE UNCOPYEDITED EDITION\". Second is, \"do not quote from this galley\". No quotes are used so I hope it's Okay.

<i>Bloodline</i>&nbsp;does a really good and convincing job of describing how the government stayed blind to it.<br><br><br><a href=https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1101885262/Bloodline-Star-Wars-Claudia-Gray/ target=_blank>Bloodline</a><br>Science Fiction<br>Disney Press/DelRey<br>Released: 31 January 2017<br>Softcover, 432 pages<br><br></div></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/book-review/>book-review</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/fantasy/>fantasy</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/recommend/>recommend</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/sff/>sff</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/tags/space-fantasy/>space-fantasy</a></li></ul><nav class=paginav><a class=prev href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2018/10/next-career-move/><span class=title>« Prev</span><br><span>Next Career Move</span></a>

stories that I reviewed here. Read that first, without it, this will have little context.\nSeriously, the following is absolutely full of spoilers, and I don't want to hear about it. Well, for the stories that I actually like, I still try to keep them a little spoiler free, but the first story ... that one I lay out ALL the main points.\n\nYou Go Where It Takes You is the first story in the collection. It was both a monster as excuse and a first chapter. We follow a waitress and single mom. Our monster is this guy, when we first meet is described as ugly, that has the ability of changing skins, just pulling off his old skin and putting on another person. The monster is polite and honest. The waitress, overworked and stressed uses the trauma of watching this guy change skins to literally run away and dump her kid at a roadside rest. It threw me for a loop because there wasn't a warning that she was already that cracked.\nI am reminded of that moment in the first Men In Black movie at the first firing range test (( I found it )), where the Hero simply recognizes the aliens as just doing their thing. The presented monster is actually polite and simply weird, so I guess I saw him as red herring. The \"monster\" didn't convince her to run away from her life, she wasn't infected by something. That monster could have been a crack rock, and she'd have done the same. Maybe that is why I have so little patience for this story.\nIt was also a premise, a first chapter in that this could make a great larger story arc in so many directions. What happens to the child left behind? What other adventures does the skin changing monster have? When does the run-away mom find her past has caught up with her? We'll never know.\nI read this story in 2014, threw the book on a shelf and only recently picked it back up. I was THAT disappointed by the first story. Thing is, monster as red herring or MacGuffin, sets the tone for several other stories in this book.\nThe next story, Wild Acre, was definitely more of a thriller. It starts off as a werewolf story. A guy and his two employees sit at a construction site, staying in wait for vandals that had been breaking things at night. This guy goes into the woods to take care of personal business, and sees a kid turn into a werewolf, then kill his employees. He runs away in his truck, not even trying to use the gun he has on him. This happens at the very start of the story. The rest of the story is the spiral of PTSD this guy goes down and how he becomes a human monster. Unlike the first story, there was an evil trauma he witnessed. I didn't love it, but it didn't turn me off, and this is what got me to force myself to read the rest of the stories.\nS.S. is a story about a young man being recruited by a group of white supremacists and the very human need to belong. This story hits another one of my sour notes... when I cannot empathize with any of the main characters, I'm literally trying to figure out something to care about. The mother is a very interesting character who I would enjoy hearing a deeper story about, instead, she was a tertiary character at most.\nThe Crevasse, co written with Dale Bailey, brings the stress and wonder of a Lovecraft's Cthulu without the breaking of physics. Of all the stories, this one has the most impact on me. As with most of the stories here, I was left wanting to know more about the story, and what else happens to the people who we're introduced to, but the ending wasn't brutally cold (well, then again, it is set in Antarctica).\nThe award winning story, The Monsters of Heaven, was really not for me. Lack of empathy for the characters strikes again. I will give it this, it was disturbing in that I've thought of this story more than any other, and in this case it is straight up feeling bad for the monster.\nSunbleached is a vampire story, a story of loss, hubris and the angst of youth. This story sticks out as having a powerful ending. I liked this one a lot. This was scary like a movie. It had a Creepshow vibe.\nThe title story, North American Lake Monsters, similar to the first story, felt like a beginning of a premise instead of a fully realized story. I suppose these types of endings are supposed to leave me feeling haunted, but instead I feel like I lost out on hearing more. This was also a case of having no empathy for the main character, and I recognized him as waiting to be sprung. The monster, in this case, infected him, but somehow didn't seem to affect his daughter who first came into its contact.\nThe Way Station, is a very interesting story. It is about being haunted in a way that the haunting manifests itself into the real world. This story is a bit drunk and drug addled, and in this case the monster is human, actually a predator, AND not the main character.\nThe last story was The Good Husband. This was depressing. Wife kills herself, her husband finds her in time, but with this being the fourth attempt, he just wanders away and goes back to sleep. How's that for an empathetic character? When she comes down from the bathroom in the morning, asking for coffee, bloodless and cold things get weirder. The ending of this one was also cold and abrupt. There's really no resolution here, and I had no empathy for anyone but their daughter who was away at college.\nSo, there we go, a deep spoilery dive on what didn't work for me. Let me know if you want to see more of this.

It was both a monster as excuse and a first chapter.&nbsp; We follow a waitress and single mom.&nbsp; Our monster is this guy, when we first meet is described as ugly, that has the ability of changing skins, just pulling off his old skin and putting on another person.&nbsp; The monster is polite and honest.&nbsp; The waitress, overworked and stressed uses the <i>trauma</i>&nbsp;of watching this guy change skins to literally run away and dump her kid at a roadside rest.&nbsp; It threw me for a loop because there wasn't a warning that she was already that cracked.<br><br>I am reminded of that moment in the first Men In Black movie at the first firing range test ((&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRXNNqNfQBs" target=_blank>I found it</a> )), where the Hero simply recognizes the aliens as just doing their thing.&nbsp; The presented monster is actually polite and simply weird, so I guess I saw him as red herring.&nbsp; The "monster" didn't convince her to run away from her life, she wasn't infected by something.&nbsp; That monster could have been a crack rock, and she'd have done the same.&nbsp; Maybe that is why I have so little patience for this story.<br><br>It was also a premise, a first chapter in that this could make a great larger story arc in so many directions.&nbsp; What happens to the child left behind?&nbsp; What other adventures does the skin changing monster have?&nbsp; When does the run-away mom find her past has caught up with her?&nbsp; We'll never know.<br><br>I read this story in 2014, threw the book on a shelf and only recently picked it back up.&nbsp; I was THAT disappointed by the first story.&nbsp; Thing is, monster as red herring or MacGuffin, sets the tone for several other stories in this book.<br><br>The next story, <b>Wild Acre</b>, was definitely more of a thriller.&nbsp; It starts off as a werewolf story.&nbsp; A guy and his two employees sit at a construction site, staying in wait for vandals that had been breaking things at night.&nbsp; This guy goes into the woods to take care of personal business, and sees a kid turn into a werewolf, then kill his employees.&nbsp; He runs away in his truck, not even trying to use the gun he has on him.&nbsp; This happens at the very start of the story.&nbsp; The rest of the story is the spiral of PTSD this guy goes down and how he becomes a human monster.&nbsp; Unlike the first story, there was an evil trauma he witnessed.&nbsp; I didn't love it, but it didn't turn me off, and this is what got me to force myself to read the rest of the stories.<br><br><b>S.S.</b> is a story about a young man being recruited by a group of white supremacists and the very human need to belong.&nbsp; This story hits another one of my sour notes... when I cannot empathize with any of the main characters, I'm literally trying to figure out something to care about.&nbsp; The mother is a very interesting character who I would enjoy hearing a deeper story about, instead, she was a tertiary character at most.<br><br><b>The Crevasse</b>, co written with&nbsp;<a href=http://dalebailey.com/ target=_blank>Dale Bailey</a>, brings the stress and wonder of a Lovecraft's Cthulu without the breaking of physics.&nbsp;

Jarringly, there are places where David Bowie's own statements are included.&nbsp; All of these vignettes are presented each in whole, collected into chapters into an approximate order as to when the main point of each vignette happened.&nbsp; Each vignette starts with a name followed by a parenthetical as to what this person is in relation to Bowie.&nbsp; Very sparingly, there will be fully italic paragraphs where the author actually writes some narrative framework.&nbsp; Pointing out things that are important, but not illustrated in the vignettes.&nbsp; It took me until chapter 3 until I realized that this is what the italic sections were for.<br><br>The first chapter of vignettes was very difficult to read.&nbsp; Of course, the youngest part of anybody's life is the hardest to keep interesting.&nbsp; "<b>Nick Kent&nbsp;</b>(journalist)", who hadn't met Bowie, but saw him on TV at 17 representing, The Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Long-Haired Men, said "...I remember thinking, Now, this fellow we'll probably be seeing again."&nbsp; At this, it was really hard to keep my eyes from rolling out the back of my head.&nbsp; There were even vignettes that simply talked about a neighborhood where he was living, without any direct connection to Bowie himself.&nbsp; Nothing much here but color commentary.<br><br>Starting in the second chapter, there are more vignettes from musicians who actually worked with Bowie, and those start to get interesting.&nbsp; Rick Wakeman, of Yes fame, is a stand-out for good short stories, and though his stories start in Chapter 1, they don't get good until Chapter 2, when he's talking about things that he was part of.<br><br>Another thing that goes on through these vignettes that overlap in time is that often two or three recollections of a person or event in Bowie's life will contradict each-other.&nbsp; Where this happens, there is no narrative interlude to give more information, just the confusion that we don't really know.<br><br>Bowie's first wife, Angie, was either "a snotty bitch" and "her own worst enemy" or "... if he hadn't met Angie, David might have continued as a sort of Bob Dylan type..." and "part angel" who "did more than her share of domestic chores".&nbsp; All I can get from this is that she rubbed some people the wrong way, and - more likely - people who liked her then came to dislike her after the divorce.&nbsp; Ultimately, I found the Angie bashing to be distracting more than enlightening, and it is just one early example of narrative contradictions.<br><div><br></div>Because the vignettes overlap in time, and often contradict each other in detail, the book is very hard to follow in a narrative sense.&nbsp; This is actually worse than the&nbsp;<a href=http://blog.vollink.com/2018/07/eye-marty-marty-feldman.html target=_blank>eyE Marty</a>&nbsp;autobiography; that was also out-of-time order, but at least it was a single voice and viewpoint.&nbsp;

The Difference Between Science Fiction and Fantasy     To me, science fiction means that a story element that exists outside of the mundanely possible is specifically there to frame or force a change in the society portrayed in that story. Where I see fantasy as having extra-existent elements that are used as a backdrop and plot devices to move the story forward. This can be a thin line, which is why the two are often bundled under a single header.     Star Wars, to me, is a fantasy. There are Jedi-Knights who can dabble in magic and fight with \"laser swords\". With some minor exceptions in the prequels, this magic isn't used as a way to show a societal shift, or show us what dilemmas might exist because such a thing exists. Instead, it is used as a plot device. Something for the hero to obtain on the hero's journey. With the exception of minor mentions in Rogue One, the terrible weaponry of the Death Star isn't explored in its affect on society, but as a weapon to be defeated before it causes more harm. Even mass cloning is mostly used to distance the audience from the number of deaths, not as an exploration of the moral implications of cloning itself.     Star Wars doesn't directly face the societal implications of magic or cloning. It sure could have done a lot of exploration of the implications of a weapon that is able to destroy an entire planet, and why it is imperative to dismantle such things - no matter who has such a thing. In the middle of the Cold-War, maybe this was supposed to be an obvious connection, but nothing really talks to these parallels. It was not a moral choice about the weapon itself as much as it was a survival imperative to defeat the enemy by defeating the enemy's weapon.     Oppositely, the movie Dragon Heart represents what I expect from Science Fiction. In that world, dragons exist, but have been hunted near extinction, mostly due to a misguided ruler. The movie shows a societal mirror to our own hunting of predator species like sharks or wolves, reflected in the Dragon's pleas to the benefits that dragons had brought. The hero of the movie is forced to face his own bias, and befriend the last dragon on earth, which is also a regular science fiction reflection on racism.     Romantic   \n   Romantic does not necessarily mean romance. That is, none of the books I've so far reviewed include love triangles, but romance - or missed romance - is a major element of the plot.

Nothing is set in stone.  The simplicity of the tweet is absolutely true. It totally reminded me of a problem I've seen multiple times though. The process is rarely the difficult part of fixing a problem.\nA long time ago, when I was a team lead, the group I worked with had an automated build system that was extremely complicated, built entirely in-house, and didn't follow the conventions of any of the standard build-systems that exist. There was a steep learning curve to get new software packages into the system, and most developers never learned to do it. This also meant that when someone needed to introduce a project that didn't exist already, they'd often work-around the need instead of waiting for someone with knowledge to help.\nAt some point, the group hired a published tech-author who was a big open source advocate, and quite outspoken. Upon trying to interface with the build system, they loudly declared it broken, and suggested it should be fixed. Management above me said a very smart thing, \"Okay, fix it.\"\nMany months later, that person left the group, and the same build system was still there and there were not even any modifications done. Let me unwind what went wrong.\nBy most metrics, if a process is that hard, then it is objectively broken. That new employee was absolutely correct in the assessment. However, the process doesn't care. This group had over 200 distinct, but interrelated projects, which means that any replacement system would need to be configured for all of them. The process also had a custom syntactical structure to deal with a number of edge cases. This is both what made it maddeningly difficult to work with, but also what made it work well in that environment.\nThe process, like most, was built and maintained by people, most of whom were still sitting in that office. Generally, everyone who understood the custom build process deeply appreciated the many, many things it accomplished. Those who didn't need to learn the complexity of adding a new project didn't have a reason to care, but that also meant that those people weren't useful allies, since they didn't understand the full extent of what the process did.\nThis new person basically started by angering the very people who maintained this process. Those were the only people with the knowledge of the complexities that a new system would need to mitigate or replace. Once this person started working in earnest to replace the system, the complexities showed themselves randomly, and the original maintainers just stood back, waiting for the inevitable failure.\nHere is the lesson I learned from watching this happen.\nTo affect change, you must acknowledge a process' power, and demonstrate understanding of its complexity before the process guardians will trust you to replace it.\n  If a process accomplishes nothing, it would have already been replaced. If a process exists at all, it accomplishes something, and it is probably there for a reason. Sometimes a strange or ugly process simply exists because of somebody who did something really dumb. As in, don't be the person who makes us write a rule.\nIf a process is terrible, ask open questions about why it is built the way it is. Most likely it is still there because it solves problems that other tools (even if they are newer) don't already solve. This is especially true when those processes bridge multiple other systems. Avoid criticizing a process, but ask pointed questions about the parts that are ugly.\nOn multiple occasions in the many years since, I've been able to use these lessons to fix or replace multiple processes in multiple places. In no case has the problem been a technical hurdle, but a problem of finding those who protect the process, and getting them on-board with fixing the deficiencies (even if they don't need to do the fixing, but just stop being protective). Sometimes this means a whole process replacement, but most often it has meant paying off technical debt (like major code refactoring or updating dependent systems), and implementing new interfaces into the existing processes.

character. This book starts on a distant future (unspecified timeline) Earth where humans are now space-faring, and alien races are known.\nThere is a lot to unpack in the world-building and the world is built along with the story. Each chapter is unusually episodic, in that some small part of the last scene of a previous chapter will be often be repeated at the beginning of the next. This took a little getting used to, but I imagine is much easier for readers who are going to read one chapter, and put the book down for a day or two.\nLike much of my my favorite Sci-Fi, this book explores racial tensions and cultural wounds through the lens of the far off and vastly different. The character Binti's understanding of mathematics and electronics is described as magical, as if some humans evolved to be able to create and control electrical currents in their mind. It does a great service to explaining how distant future culture and humans have become from what we are used to now.\nThis is a great story, but is very brief, and suspect the book may have been better had it been a little bit longer. More world-building could have dropped in the first few chapters before the story really got going. The strength of this story is Binti's internal monologue, and how she navigates through harrowing tragedy and survival itself. I look forward to reading Binti: Home, the second book in the trilogy.\n    Book 2 Cover   Trigger warnings for terrorist violence and detailed gore. Read this if you like space-drama and stories that don't feature a love triangle (as so much YA does). Skip if Sci-Fi really isn't your thing.\n-----------\nBinti: Home   Binti: Home picks up nearly a year after the end of the first book, and follows Binti and Okwa (her Alien friend) on a visit back to Earth. The book is much longer than the first, and it does not have the episodic repeating of the last scene that the first book occasionally had.\nThere are seeds from book 1 that are mined and expanded, but the style of world building as the story unfolds is very useful as new elements are revealed and used as the story expands. This book continues to follow Binti's internal monologue and highlights the amount of change in who Binti is after the trauma of book 1.\nThe themes from book 1 are still there, but this book's theme seems to focus more on family bonds (and family fractures). This book ends on a very dramatic cliff-hanger, and really does not feel like a complete story.\nWhile it is possible to read book 1, and be satisfied with a story I don't recommend reading book 2 unless you are committed to also reading book 3, and ... maybe read my review of book 3 (just below).\n    Book 3 Cover   ----------\nBinti: The Night Mascarade\nBinti: The Night Masquerade picks up a heartbeat after Binti: Home, and Binti is still on Earth, but as she joins the tribe of her paternal grandmother, her nuclear family is in dire trouble. This third book is over twice as long as the first novella.\nThe first half of this book (maybe a little more than half) feels like the conclusion of Binti: Home. The second half feels like a different short story. I suspect that this book is delineated in the way it is because the theme focus is on intersectionality (and how much heartbreak comes from those who do not understand).\nI would have been more satisfied with the story had this book ended in the middle. The second half felt a little too much like it was pushing for a happy ending, and maybe in sensing that it was going too far, ended on a bittersweet note.\nAfter three books, this universe seems very ripe and full of subtleties. I really enjoy Binti's personality, but I feel like I was done with Binti's story in the middle of this book. That is, I would live to read about other characters in this universe. I want to know of the adventures of other alien races, some of which were even hinted about in these stories.\nOverall, I'm happy I read these books, but I can't say I recommend the second two as much as I'd highly recommend book 1. I think, perhaps, I feel the second half of this book really needed some technological foreshadowing. This is a place where the unfolding of world building along side the plot does a disservice to the reader. For me, at least, there is a point in the book that broke my suspension of disbelief.\nBinti\nScience Fiction, Young Adult\nTor Publishing\nReleased, 22 September 2015\nSoftcover, 96 pages\nBinti: Home\nScience Fiction, Young Adult\nTor Publishing\nReleased, 31 January

Binti is the name of the main character.&nbsp; This book starts on a distant future (unspecified timeline) Earth where humans are now space-faring, and alien races are known.<br><br>There is a lot to unpack in the world-building and the world is built along with the story.&nbsp; Each chapter is unusually episodic, in that some small part of the last scene of a previous chapter will be often be repeated at the beginning of the next.&nbsp; This took a little getting used to, but I imagine is much easier for readers who are going to read one chapter, and put the book down for a day or two.<br><br>Like much of my my favorite Sci-Fi, this book explores racial tensions and cultural wounds through the lens of the far off and vastly different.&nbsp; The character Binti's understanding of mathematics and electronics is described as magical, as if some humans evolved to be able to create and control electrical currents in their mind.&nbsp; It does a great service to explaining how distant future culture and humans have become from what we are used to now.<br><br>This is a great story, but is very brief, and suspect the book may have been better had it been a little bit longer.&nbsp; More world-building could have dropped in the first few chapters before the story really got going.&nbsp; The strength of this story is Binti's internal monologue, and how she navigates through harrowing tragedy and survival itself.&nbsp;

We are presented with a wide array of new characters on this new world, like the Jedi Rael Averross, who has been the regent of Pijal for the last 8 years, and the escaped slave Rahara Wick. Count Dooku, Qui-Gon's former master also makes some important appearances in this story, which broadens the sense of the Title as well.     There is a strong theme around slavery in the Star Wars universe throughout this novel which is a fairly major plot point within the story and is shown as a shining red flag on the corruption within the late republic. I feel I could write a lot about the dynamics of this theme, but it's better to simply suggest; pick up this book.     As in her previous Star Wars novels, Claudia Gray is a master at weaving the deep politics of Star Wars into the story. To me, politics was the primary thing the prequels were not very good at showing in a compelling way. Here, the politics really bring the Star Wars story out of space fantasy and firmly back into what science fiction is best at. Here is a mirror to our current selves.     It turns out that Claudia Gray has become my favorite author. I await each book that comes out. Read this book if you like Star Wars and want more stories about the background of Qui-Gon or Obi-Wan. I do not think it is necessary to know the characters before reading this book, as the movies did a poor job of really exploring their personalities anyway. It is okay to skip this book if you aren't a fan of Star Wars. That said, even though I'm not in love with the prequels, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it as a good piece of science fiction.

Architect, Candidate, Confidence, Coronation, Kingdom, Meteorology and National Park (only one of these being a leadership related trait).\nSo, while I don't recommend this book specifically for leadership information, I genuinely enjoy the story, illustrations and pop-up facts that go along with it. It is also difficult to read out loud, because to read the pop-up information, you have to temporarily drop the narrative. There's not an obvious place to pause and read the extra word-bubble.\nGet this if you want a Frozen book for a Frozen-obsessed kid, and you want it to offer more than a recap the story: That is the sweet spot for this book. Skip it if you don't have a Frozen obsessed kid, or if you have a kid who is actually interested in leadership.\nHow To Be A Snow Queen: Leadership With Elsa\nChildren's\nLerner Publications\nReleased: 1 January 2019\nHardcover, 32 pages\nDespite being full-color illustrated, there is no mention of an illustrator or colorist (and I did look).

This book is  subtitled: The Battle to Save America's Middle Class. This is a book about politics, personal history of the author and the economic history of the country along with ample explanation of why the past matters today. This book does not shy away from discussing racial economic disparity. Though, I definitely feel it could have gone much deeper into those subjects (as I don't think that past is well understood by most).  Overall, this is about the author trying to sell us her plan for the future, and it lays out a good narrative that moves between individual voters that the author has talked to, and how the economic changes of the past have directly affected those people. This is then followed up with political policy statements. Often, this is re-instating protections that have eroded in the last 50 years, but with modifications that acknowledge racial and gender disparities of those past policies.

Yet, most of the advice out there on how to deal with this suggests hard-coding these escape sequences directly into your prompt. This is great, and probably will work just fine, but I find it to be painful.  On the off-chance such a prompt is ever tried on a terminal that uses a different terminal command language, there's a decent chance the prompt will look like garbage. Of course, linux has a whole dictionary of terminal types (terminfo) and a bunch of tools around that. BASH Prompt: PS1  Generally, the PS1, or primary prompt for the user is set by the system in /etc/profile or one of the files in /etc/profile.d/, and a user can override that prompt in a ${HOME}/.bash_profile or .bashrc file.     A common default prompt is PS1='\\u@\\h:\\w$ ' as in:     username@hostname:/home/username$      The important bit about embedding colors in a PS1 is to tell the shell that the characters it is sending out to the terminal are not actually advancing the cursor (this is important for command line editing, and long commands that wrap on the terminal). Every command sent to the terminal needs to be wrapped in escaped brackets; '\\[\\]'. Here is an embedded \"reset to default\" escape sequence within escaped brackets.     PS1='\\[\\033)B\\033[0m\\]\\u@\\h:\\w$ '  TPUT  The 'tput' command is available on all Linux, and most UNIX systems. My warning here is, like terminal escapes themselves, tput has its own weird language for settings.     setting a red foreground color using tput, and then setting it back, looks like this:    PS1='\\u@\\h:\\w$ '\nuser@host:/home/user$ tput setaf 1  user@host:/home/user$ tput sgr0  user@host:/home/user$     In this example, the prompt isn't trying to control the colors yet, and we can see that the last color that the terminal was told to deal with become the default color for everything until something changes it.    My .bashrc  I have a chunk in my .profile where I literally set the colors and other attributes I can use. If a terminal types does not have a command that matches one of these, then the shell variable will end up empty.    _TM_TX=$(tput setaf 7|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_RD=$(tput setaf 9|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_GR=$(tput setaf 10|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_YL=$(tput setaf 11|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n#_TM_BL=$(tput setaf 12|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_BL=$(tput setaf 45|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_PP=$(tput setaf 13|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_TL=$(tput setaf 14|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_ITAL=$(tput sitm|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_BOLD=$(tput bold|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM__=$(tput sgr0|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g') # RESET\nif [ ! -z \"$_TM_TX\" ]   then   _PS_TX=\"\\[${_TM_TX}\\]\"\nfi   if [ ! -z \"$_TM_RD\" ]   then\n_PS_RD=\"\\[${_TM_RD}\\]\"\n   _PS_GR=\"\\[${_TM_GR}\\]\"\n_PS_YL=\"\\[${_TM_YL}\\]\"\n_PS_BL=\"\\[${_TM_BL}\\]\"\n_PS_PP=\"\\[${_TM_PP}\\]\"\n_PS_TL=\"\\[${_TM_TL}\\]\"\nfi   if [ ! -z \"$_TM_ITAL\" ]   then\n_PS_ITAL=\"\\[${_TM_ITAL}\\]\"\nfi   if [ ! -z \"$_TM_BOLD\" ]   then   _PS_BOLD=\"\\[${_TM_BOLD}\\]\"\nfi    _PS__=\"\\[${_TM__}\\]\"\nPS1=\"${_PS_GR}\\u${_PS__}@${_PS_BL}${_PS_BOLD}\\h${_PS__}:${_PS_TL}\\w${_PS__}\\$ \"   There's a repeating sed command here. What this does is it takes any escape characters in the output, and replaces them with an escaped octal for the escape key. This means that one can still echo $PS1 and see what the codes actually look like.  I'm using a light blue from the 255 color palette because I use a dark background on all of my terminals. This also means I'm at risk of having no color at all for elements that I expect to be blue. References  For tput subcommand info: see this terminfo manpage (using the cap-name column, and Color Handling). For setaf (or, background: setab) values, I use this color chart from Wikipedia.

Yet, most of the advice out there on how to deal with this suggests hard-coding these escape sequences directly into your prompt. This is great, and probably will work just fine, but I find it to be painful.  On the off-chance such a prompt is ever tried on a terminal that uses a different terminal command language, there's a decent chance the prompt will look like garbage. Of course, linux has a whole dictionary of terminal types (terminfo) and a bunch of tools around that. BASH Prompt: PS1  Generally, the PS1, or primary prompt for the user is set by the system in /etc/profile or one of the files in /etc/profile.d/, and a user can override that prompt in a ${HOME}/.bash_profile or .bashrc file.     A common default prompt is PS1='\\u@\\h:\\w$ ' as in:     username@hostname:/home/username$      The important bit about embedding colors in a PS1 is to tell the shell that the characters it is sending out to the terminal are not actually advancing the cursor (this is important for command line editing, and long commands that wrap on the terminal). Every command sent to the terminal needs to be wrapped in escaped brackets; '\\[\\]'. Here is an embedded \"reset to default\" escape sequence within escaped brackets.     PS1='\\[\\033)B\\033[0m\\]\\u@\\h:\\w$ '  TPUT  The 'tput' command is available on all Linux, and most UNIX systems. My warning here is, like terminal escapes themselves, tput has its own weird language for settings.     setting a red foreground color using tput, and then setting it back, looks like this:    PS1='\\u@\\h:\\w$ '\nuser@host:/home/user$ tput setaf 1  user@host:/home/user$ tput sgr0  user@host:/home/user$     In this example, the prompt isn't trying to control the colors yet, and we can see that the last color that the terminal was told to deal with become the default color for everything until something changes it.    My .bashrc  I have a chunk in my .profile where I literally set the colors and other attributes I can use. If a terminal types does not have a command that matches one of these, then the shell variable will end up empty.    _TM_TX=$(tput setaf 7|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_RD=$(tput setaf 9|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_GR=$(tput setaf 10|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_YL=$(tput setaf 11|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n#_TM_BL=$(tput setaf 12|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_BL=$(tput setaf 45|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_PP=$(tput setaf 13|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_TL=$(tput setaf 14|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_ITAL=$(tput sitm|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM_BOLD=$(tput bold|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g')\n_TM__=$(tput sgr0|sed -e 's/\\x1b/\\\\033/g') # RESET\nif [ ! -z \"$_TM_TX\" ]   then   _PS_TX=\"\\[${_TM_TX}\\]\"\nfi   if [ ! -z \"$_TM_RD\" ]   then\n_PS_RD=\"\\[${_TM_RD}\\]\"\n   _PS_GR=\"\\[${_TM_GR}\\]\"\n_PS_YL=\"\\[${_TM_YL}\\]\"\n_PS_BL=\"\\[${_TM_BL}\\]\"\n_PS_PP=\"\\[${_TM_PP}\\]\"\n_PS_TL=\"\\[${_TM_TL}\\]\"\nfi   if [ ! -z \"$_TM_ITAL\" ]   then\n_PS_ITAL=\"\\[${_TM_ITAL}\\]\"\nfi   if [ ! -z \"$_TM_BOLD\" ]   then   _PS_BOLD=\"\\[${_TM_BOLD}\\]\"\nfi    _PS__=\"\\[${_TM__}\\]\"\nPS1=\"${_PS_GR}\\u${_PS__}@${_PS_BL}${_PS_BOLD}\\h${_PS__}:${_PS_TL}\\w${_PS__}\\$ \"   There's a repeating sed command here. What this does is it takes any escape characters in the output, and replaces them with an escaped octal for the escape key. This means that one can still echo $PS1 and see what the codes actually look like.  I'm using a light blue from the 255 color palette because I use a dark background on all of my terminals. This also means I'm at risk of having no color at all for elements that I expect to be blue.

 First, all book reviews (even short ones) now include the tag book-reviews.  That is, if I'm telling you what I think about a book, it is a book review.  There are also short-book-reviews on some.

 This book follows the protagonist, Henry Lee both as a 13 year old in 1943, and an adult in 1986.  If you have been reading my reviews for a while, you'll note that I get picky when time starts jumping around, and I'm really happy to say that this book gets this simple detail absolutely right: Every chapter title includes the year....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2019-01-09 12:00:00 -0500 -0500">9 Jan 2019</span>&nbsp;·&nbsp;3 min&nbsp;·&nbsp;Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to [Book] Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2019/01/hotel-on-the-corner-of-bitter-and-sweet/></a></article><article class=post-entry><header class=entry-header><h2>[Book] Euphemania by Ralph Keyes</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>Book Cover I love puns, and this is a book about the grandfather of puns... the good ole euphemism.  This book moves smoothly from subject to subject bringing up lots of history.  It is sometimes funny, but it doesn't overplay.  Overall, it's a pretty serious book about the very human desire to avoid talking directly about certain subjects.

 After the prelude, the first section of the book follows Bill Ashcraft, a drifter who is loaded up on drugs.  Appropriate to the character - for the parts where we are following his narrative - the story is jumping back and forth between his past and present with no direct warning in-between, full of non-sequiturs, and frankly - hard to follow....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2018-06-27 12:00:00.001 -0400 -0400">27 Jun 2018</span>&nbsp;·&nbsp;4 min&nbsp;·&nbsp;Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to [Book] Ohio by Stephen Markley" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2018/06/ohio/></a></article><article class="post-entry tag-entry"><header class=entry-header><h2>[Book] Catching Stars by Cayla Keenan</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>Book cover The world building is probably the thing I liked the most about Catching Stars.  There are people who have magical abilities and a larger group of people who don't.  Within magic users, there are different types of magic users.  There are kingdoms and politics, palace intrigue, roving gangs, sailing ships, petty rivalries and fierce prejudices.  Though the story is quite different, the emotional feel of the world is similar to the book Steeplejack by A....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2018-06-20 12:00:00 -0400 -0400">20 Jun 2018</span>&nbsp;·&nbsp;2 min&nbsp;·&nbsp;Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to [Book] Catching Stars by Cayla Keenan" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2018/06/catching-stars/></a></article><article class="post-entry tag-entry"><header class=entry-header><h2>[Book] The Real Lolita by Sarah Weinman</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>I got an advanced readers copy of this book from the first day of BookExpo.  It is supposed to be released in September 2018, but that is preliminary, and the date could slip.

 This book follows the protagonist, Henry Lee both as a 13 year old in 1943, and an adult in 1986.  If you have been reading my reviews for a while, you'll note that I get picky when time starts jumping around, and I'm really happy to say that this book gets this simple detail absolutely right: Every chapter title includes the year....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2019-01-09 12:00:00 -0500 -0500">9 Jan 2019</span>&nbsp;·&nbsp;3 min&nbsp;·&nbsp;Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to [Book] Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2019/01/hotel-on-the-corner-of-bitter-and-sweet/></a></article><article class="post-entry tag-entry"><header class=entry-header><h2>[Book] Euphemania by Ralph Keyes</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>Book Cover I love puns, and this is a book about the grandfather of puns... the good ole euphemism.  This book moves smoothly from subject to subject bringing up lots of history.  It is sometimes funny, but it doesn't overplay.  Overall, it's a pretty serious book about the very human desire to avoid talking directly about certain subjects.

 Keep your personal drama problems off of Facebook. Do not write an ambiguous post just so the first commenter will have to ask, "What do you mean?" Learn how to use the privacy features of Facebook and DO NOT leave your profile open to the public. Do not post or comment if it will get you in trouble with your significant other; Offending others is OK, if you are really prepared for the backlash....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2010-12-22 22:14:00.001 -0500 -0500">22 Dec 2010</span>&nbsp;·&nbsp;4 min&nbsp;·&nbsp;Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to Facebook 101" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2010/12/facebook-101/></a></article><article class="post-entry tag-entry"><header class=entry-header><h2>What Crime Was Committed?</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>It appears that the politicians who are supposed to represent me are trying to convince me that a website, WikiLeaks, run primarily by a group of Australian citizens has, itself, done something illegal.

 First, all book reviews (even short ones) now include the tag book-reviews.  That is, if I'm telling you what I think about a book, it is a book review.  There are also short-book-reviews on some.

I don't have one, but I did have a TV capture card, and I was able to get over-the-air signals with it....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2009-03-16 19:55:00 -0400 -0400">16 Mar 2009</span>&nbsp;·&nbsp;2 min&nbsp;·&nbsp;Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to Spring and It's Been a While" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2009/03/spring-and-it-s-been-a-while/></a></article></main><footer class=footer><span>&copy; 2022 <a href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/>On My Mind...</a></span>

 Twitview uses the web server (vollink.com) to pull my twitter data feed. Once pulled, I turn links into links.
 The twittering view at the right side of this blog now uses twitview, as does the open-social app that I wrote for my iGoogle. I also added twitview to my main homepage.
 Another advantage of this, is that my twitter feed is now also proxied, so will be visible in places where twitter may become blocked or banned....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2008-07-13 03:04:00 -0400 -0400">13 Jul 2008</span>&nbsp;·&nbsp;1 min&nbsp;·&nbsp;Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to Twitter by Proxy" href=https://blog.vollink.nyc/post/2008/07/twitter-by-proxy/></a></article><article class="post-entry tag-entry"><header class=entry-header><h2>Google Apps, iGoogle and Facebook</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>I've added Google Apps to my domain.
