A new beginning?

Yeah, it's been awhile.   Sorry about that.

I hope to be able to publish some things worth reading over the next few whatevers.

If you're new to this site, you can see from the older material here that I really had no idea what I was doing.   Seriously.

There are some recipes that, if you are interested in that sort of thing, you might find quite nice, actually.  Apart from being an engineer, I am also a rather good cook.   When I actually decide to cook, it's edible.

From here out I would like to present more blog-like posts to this... well... blog.

blog

The word itself bothers me.  It's WEB-LOG, goddammit.  The emergence of the word "blog" signified the start of the downfall of technical language.    Don't believe me?    Let's have a look at the term "cloud."   There was a time when it actually meant something specific.... or at least much more specific than it does now.   It meant virtual machines running in a data center with a very robust internet connection.  This gave you access to a network backbone you could not possibly duplicate for anything remotely close to the cost of the "cloud" service.

Since about 2011... "Cloud" means nothing more than "someone else's computer."  Rather pointless, isn't it.  We have marketing departments from all over the country to thank for that.  Thanks, morons.

I am pedantic about many more things, but I will stop now.

More soon.
