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!

This post is a continuation from Part 1. If you haven't read that first, please do so, before coming back. (I have updated that writing to provide a link to this one.) A large shadow flits across the window, like a hand that fails to grasp the thin...

Maybe I've got the moving blues

24 Nov 2021 1 minute read 3 comments Great White Snark

Sometimes, I just don't feel like writing, have nothing in me which I want to express. There are no words to put forth into the world. However, it has been said/taught that in order to improve one's writing, one must write a little every day (even/es...

Yesterday, I went shopping for new SIM cards to put into my new phone, since the one I currently have is failing and I suspect it will soon give up the ghost. Here's what happened: I walk into the MTN store at the mall to buy a new SIM card. They as...

For anyone who follows me, I'm probably not stating anything new here, since you probably already know this from my previous posts, but ... For the past year, I've been unemployed and looking for a job the traditional way (hitting job-posting sites s...

My Descent into Madness: A Disjointed Memoir of How I Lost My Tenuous Grip on Sanity and (Disappointingly) Survived Multiple Suicide Attempts (Coming Soon in ePub Format)

18 Nov 2021 5 minute read 5 comments Great White Snark

I'm writing my autobiography, having been encouraged to do so by a number of friends who'll probably live to regret it. That's assuming they'll live long enough to regret anything, since some of us did meet on suicide watch. Hooray for trauma bonding...
