The Snark Returns: Random Musings from The GWS

SW/Web developer: ~12 years of C# (yay!) & ASP .Net MVC, Java (blargh!), Python (woot!) experience. I'm currently hitting faucets and writing for crypto to stake/invest . | I work part-time with animals. Sadly, my cerebellum and medulla oblongata aren't Einsteinian in proportion. However, I possess a Brobdingnagian vocabulary and get by with being a barbigerous logophile. I can probably write you into bed, if smashing Capitalism and Patriarchy turns you on. Kink is political!


On Permaculture and Anarchy: Speed the Collapse of the Capitalist Operating System

19 May 2023 6 minute read 7 comments Great White Snark

Warning: As per usual, I likely have little to no idea about what I'm writing. My opinion may very well be wrong, so I advise taking my words with a grain of salt. I find that, rather frequently, I read Sir Gerard the First's posts and end up writing...

Good Luck; You're on Your Own in the Age of AI

16 May 2023 1 minute read 3 comments Great White Snark

Sending CVs and emails to recruitment agencies achieves about as much as redirecting stdout to /dev/null and expecting any response: It's an exercise in futility. Call me old-fashioned if you will, but I prefer to deal with actual humans (fallible th...

Year of the Crab: Another Shot in the Arm for My Creative/Musical Ambitions

12 May 2023 1 minute read 0 comments Great White Snark

Today, some dude on CVn bought my entire discography on Band Camp, for more than the asking price and made my month. Frigging schweet awesome-sauce, man! Woot! Flogging my content like mad on CVn has paid off. Now, I just need to take action on the n...

On Misrepresenting Darwinism and Evolution: Please Do Not Feed the Creationists, "Alpha" Males and Their Ilk

8 May 2023 5 minute read 2 comments Great White Snark

Many years ago, I read a load of self-published Creationist rubbish (slightly longer than a pamphlet once stripped of the repetitive ideological waffle; much like the Christian bible, but shorter, then) titled Please Do Not Clothe the Dinosaurs. I re...

Conspiracy Theory: It Ends with AI Killing the Bees!

6 May 2023 2 minute read 0 comments Great White Snark

Since it's the weekend at time of writing, I thought I'd bring you some silliness that was hashed out in a chat room and that you shouldn't take seriously (except the bit about CCD; that is a serious issue). HCAPTCHA: Draw a tight bounding box around...

Back to Work I Go? It Seems Unlikely at this Point, but the Show Must Go On

4 May 2023 5 minute read 2 comments Great White Snark

I'm tired. I'm tired of having to be some indefatigable robotic superman who still manages to prepare and eat four square meals a day, just to survive, let alone get ahead. I'm tired of having to work harder every year and secure a raise just to stay...

Fax Machine Anthems: New Album Released

30 Apr 2023 1 minute read 0 comments Great White Snark

At the time of writing this, I released my new album on band Camp and OpenSea. Upon uploading the promotional video for it to YouTube, I immediately received two copyright notices, which is nonsense. I've never heard of the two claimants, or the mate...

Why I'll Never be a Right-Winger or Religious and Why Cryptocurrency Should Be Anathema to them

29 Apr 2023 4 minute read 2 comments Great White Snark

TL;DR: I'm not a gullible or judgemental idiotic shithead intent on killing people I don't like or whom are different to me. I have no space in my life for them, either. I could never be a right-winger. Mainly, that's because I firmly believe that wh...

Alternatives to DeviantArt: Creary and Weasyl

28 Apr 2023 6 minute read 0 comments Great White Snark

Following my initial failure to find a satisfactory alternative to DeviantArt (which I sometimes called "Deviant Tart", partially for the LoLs but mainly for other reasons), I've gone back to the drawing board. Thanks to the help of the wonderful sit...

No Longer Even Slightly Deviant Art

27 Apr 2023 2 minute read 0 comments Great White Snark

For a while, I've been considering creating a Deviant Art account to promote my NFTs. However, since that Website has increasingly clamped down on sexy content (even if slightly suggestive) and the Terms of Use (ToU) explicitly forbid(s) "pornographi...
