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!

The problem that I have with trusting other people is that they invariably betray that trust and let me down. Every time a coconut, every damn time! That's why I think it's best that I don't trust people and am my own army of one, not that I can rely...

Tomorrow, the town in which I live is going to experience a scheduled power outage that might last up to twelve hours, if not longer. The outage is scheduled to start from 08:00 in the morning. I think that it's most likely going to be out of commiss...

I feel the urge to post something on one of my blogs, but I'm all out of ideas. All I have to report is that I spent about half the day in bed and the other half posting an updated CV to various job sites and applying to positions I'm unlikely to get...

Flattened fat frog in a side street, Guts and internal organs burst from its mouth, Squeezed out as if from Some macabre toothpaste tube Or bizarre unwrapping of skin. This grotesque victim Was witnessed late one night After a thunderstorm, Unwilling...

Greetings, dear readers. I hope that you are well and in the mood to spend ~10 minutes idly engaged in an activity known to some as Walpoling (and as reading to others). I just want to remind you that I've published a book on LeanPub, a whopping ~260...
