Hi Francis, yeah pretty loooooow volume here on the group.

Thats a good idea, I will try to give you all the privelages to run the group.

You are scant on your details of your business. Yahoo has a really good deal
on new IP domain names, like 4 dollars for the first year. You get a single
page too, which can point to your DSL or cable modem setup.

Me ?? I am a crusty ole redneck truckdriver (not). I tried to quit last
month, but this a dream I had since I was a kid, sorta like being a fireman I
guess. So I like it. My co-driver IS a crusty ole redneck, sees things from a
very very different prespective than we Northeners do. He likes black people,
but then he seems to remember the KKK fondly... very odd.

I am studying the Information Society, and psychotherapy. My main people are
Carl Rogers (who brought the US and USSR together as an extension of his other
inventions, which included class participation, group therapy, and
"facilitating solutions to old bias type hatreds") and Lewis Mumford, whose
book "Technics and Civilization" literally predicted the tech boom back in
1934. He obviously could not have known about the Internet, but he understood
the free market and how they consistantly convert innovation into quick
profits.

I am also a big fan of Ruth Benedict who developed the concept of Synergy,
which means that people concentrate on helping each other, like in Linux,
rather than making the rich folks richer, as in Microsoft. She was a nutty
woman but a genius social scientist.

I am hoping to get into a job at Fed Ex pretty soon. My truck says Fed Ex on
the side but its really owned by a guy from Jersey. We are sub-contractors.

I am still very interested in BIO Linux and the VIA EPIA mother board. There
seems to be a "nano-ITX" board coming out from VIA, about the size of a
paperback book. Now, that will be nice. The EPIAs are famous for being in
sports cars, giving 6 channel sounds and games while you drive 180mph... for
those who have to live fast, die young and leave a huge mess.

The Thinman project is still viable, in my opinion, though I am trying to drain
out the last of the bank account which I set aside for it.

I have reserved some blog names through google, but I am still confused about
focus and the future of the Linux Society. But, I still think it is a perfect
organization, the situation is just too confusing.

I always believed that Perl is the prefect language for the the real world, but
something is very wrong in Perl-land. The Parrot VM will take 40 plus years to
reach version 1.0, and there is NO need for Perl 6, we already have Ruby and
Java. Parrot uses registers, not stacks, and runs many times faster that way,
so I found a C compilier that USES only registers (since a BIOS does not use
enough memory to use stacks, from the Linux BIOS group). The author of the
compiler and I tried to interest the Perl/Parrot people knowing that it would
create the be-all-to-end-all virtual machine, and they just ignored us. I keep
getting dissapointed by the computer community, so I guess thats why I like
driving a big-rig.

I am trying to learn Java as much as I hate it. Probably Lisp is the best of
all languages... and the oldest but Java is what the people want. The Lisp
interpreter was invented the year I was born, and that was a long time ago, and
it is a very hard act to follow.
