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!

Since I don't have any particular topic in mind when it comes to something about which I want to write and I've not got anything better to do with a rainy afternoon (other than read a cryptography textbook or two), I think it's time for another word...

The Lost Tribes of North America (and the Places that Took Their Names)

30 Dec 2022 7 minute read 5 comments Great White Snark

People like to be negative about Russia and the former USSR. I'm sure they have their reasons and some of them may be valid. However, one thing is clear when one looks at how those countries are internally subdivided (primarily into oblasts and krais...

I could be mistaken, but I think that if you go back far enough with the wayback machine's Web archive, you can probably find Google advertising it was never going to give you ads. (I'd have to check to be sure, of course). Now, it harvests your data...

It might surprise you, but I do actually have Facebook and Google user accounts. However, I avoid using them as much as possible, since I'm not a fan of AI, Big Tech, and surveillance Capitalism. I do feel that not having an accessible and visible an...

The past few days have seen me in a particularly snarky mood. I intend to kick off this week in the same vein. Here, then, are some "rules on how to succeed in business and life", which I have learned from highly unlikable people (everyone from my re...
