Trying to tick off some of the buzzwords I’m hearing a lot lately.
We don’t know what the hell we’re doing, but we’re going to do it faster with less concern for design and cost. It’ll totally work.
Why am I reminded of the Raiders circa 2004?
Because that’s where my scarred brain goes. What can I do?
But things still aren’t fixed with my main work. At every turn, there’s another reason not to light things off.
The ancient nature of it all makes that less of a concern, but it’s still something that is bang-your-head-on-the-desk bothersome.
I’m getting to the point where I’m gaining enough insight to offer alternatives.
Naturally, that evokes the we’ve-been-doing-this-a-long-time. response.
You know, if you’re behaving that way with your own money, whatever. When you’re doing it with other people’s money, that’s a different story. Even more so when it’s money that’s been stolen from othersderived from taxes.
But I return to my tried-and-true suspicion — that something simple is usually the correct approach.
The simple solution will work well for a while. Then, maybe, the reasons you rejected something in the past disappear, and there’s something better to replace things.
So says the dude who’s spent a lot more time than he should trying to get Mailman2 to compile and run from pkgsrc.

Nope. Nothing.
Take-aways from Joey Bideness’s address:
- January 6th was the worst thing ever
- Let’s pass the John Lewis voting bill that’ll make it impossible for anyone not anointed by the Party of Bull Connor to win
- Joining a union will make your life better, and fix every problem you have
- Orange Man Bad
- The economy is awesome
- Companies are greedy
- Orange Man Really Bad
- Building a port in Gaza for humanitarian aid
- The immigration bill that didn’t get drafted until a few months ago would have prevented the problems caused by the excisemen of the polices from Orange Man Gad in January 2021
Katie Britt’s response
- Joey Bideness is bad
- Laken Riley
- Teach your kids to Roll Tide
Nobody’s going to fix things, and will probably make things worse.
I just don’t want to participate with anything. With the folks from Auburn flirting with RFK Jr. again, more, that’ll eliminate him has the least-worst option for me in November.
Screw you guys, I’m goin’ home.
