Manboons Know Jack : G-Quandruplex

Sometimes men stumble across the truth. They usually manage to pick themselves up and keep going as if nothing had happened.

Scienmajistics are all about single-celled amoeba holding court to impress other sporozoans with fantastic tales of how nothing exists outside the petri dish. It sounds good and they can sashay around the protein soup confident there will be scarce contradiction.

Resource shortage? Not In Australia.

I won't be holding my breath for gas prices to go down, although that is actually the way it works in free markets outside of communist countries.

Previous oil reserves found in ocean territorial waters around Australia should have the price of gas at 4 cents a litre here but strangely enough market systems do not appear to function when it comes to supply and demand for oil.

I have seen the coal seams out west. There is enough coal to power our electrical needs for the next 10,000 years without batting an eye. Electricity should be free and unfettered and the government should actually ask people to leave lights on and run devices when not at home just to keep up demand. That doesn't seem to be a sane venture here either. I hope this new discovery changes that.

Bolshevism II : The Soviets Knew Pravda Was Propaganda

The U.S. government just gave itself permission to exercise complete control of the internal media.

One evil empire down. One to go.

Nature Is The Product Of The Blind Striving of Random Arbitrary Chance and Adaptation

No, it isn't.

Even the animals have the the Ren, the Ba, the Ka, the Sheut, and the Ib.

Even the animals have something. They got it through their creator, who breathed it into them when he created them. The something as opposed to nothing. Even the simplest animals have some connection to one another, to human beings and to the entire cosmos.

This is not the oblivious striving of atoms in a void. It is something much, much more. When you are smart enough to understand these arguments, you will cease to be an atheist. If you concede so much as an iota of something, you will soon find that you concede everything. Since we know that the wisdom of men is nothing more than foolishness, including the insipidness of priests and all their lies, let us embrace at least one conviction, that we have somebody out there who likes us. Everything else is bound to follow.

Vault-OS : Architecture Finished

Only took eight years to settle. Of course you have to appreciate that from 2006-2011 I built and ran approximately a couple thousand tests and prototypes in several different languages.

The basic communication mechanism between terminals is UPNP. (Works, or at least demo works)

(Took four iterations of custom protocols before I just ripped off some code from Mini-UPNP open source.)

The basic means for page delivery is Lua Server Pages over HTTP. (Works with simple demo)

The basic mechanism for file transfers is FTP. (Works but sort of slow in DOS, have not figured out why yet)

The basic remote control system is Telnet. (Works but only with a handful of commands, needs more customization for specific needs of remote administrators in a Vault-OS network)

The basic error reporting system in Vault-OS is a custom variation of SYSLOG that takes extended information. (Works but not quite sure how this will integrate with alerts and alarms)

On the VOS terminal itself, all control of sensors and hardware is through an IPC mechanism using the mailslot. Under Desqview (DOS) this utilizes named handles to mail boxes. In Windows, this is mailslots via named pipes. Under Linux, this uses mail URIs for delivery.

On all platforms, an in-memory SQLite table receives and sends mail from the server to all local devices using a cross-platform threaded daemon that runs in tandem with all the INETD functionality listed above.

The mechanism for building controllers via web pages dynamically is not working. I have a custom form builder tool running under JQUERY that is a good start but this requires me to finish building the administrative manager for SQLite and accompanying AJAX services. Still working on this.

It is truly amazing to see the monster I have described above running under DOS with nothing but Desqview 2.00+ and a packet driver. It runs pretty smoothly, too. The Lua pages get served up fast with CGI.

The problem is still the fact that I have nothing running but an increasingly impressive demo. I have ambitions to start compiling the CLIPS library in as an expert system with HTML front end but I already have enough unimplemented functionality to keep me busy.

I had some help from the author of SWSockets in getting the Watcom build to work again under Windows. He has also updated the Linux builds to fix a few small compile time glitches.

Time is scarce and I am supposed to be finishing my roleplaying game. I will progress very slowly on this until that is done but that will likely be completed in the next few months. After that I will devote much more time to this project.

My son and I will be building the new permaculture lab soon and we plan to automate it completely with an initial prototype of VOS.

China Prepares for ITZ

(Prime Vault-Co Meme)

That's because they know ITZ coming.

China is not stupid. They know the only thing that stands between them and global hegemony is Kwanstainia, a degenerate nation of crotch-grabbers with a lot of powerful technology still left behind from the era they had actual people living there.

A couple launch keys and the Chinese know that the 'Stain could do them a lot of damage with very little effort, despite being too dumb to even know how most of their weapons work. They have prepared accordingly.

The Chinese are planning to survive a first strike and retaliate in kind. When the smoke clears in China, the population will emerge from the sanctuary of their substantial civil defense program and resume their lives. In the United States the smoke clearing will consist of the people who used to live there before they were vaporized.

Nine Years After Our Prediction On Vault-Co, First Terminator Units Roll Off The Line

They're here and if the prototype is any indication then the production model is going to be nightmarish.

If you think the military is funding this program with billions committed to mass production so that it can save you from a "crumbling building," you deserve to live beneath the boots of these tyrants.

More likely this 'bot will be firing on you as you attempt to escape a burning building. Waco with the grunt work done by the 'bots all over the planet.

Skydrive -> NSA Long Term Storage

I think a year ago a guy at work went on his Hotmail account and he announced to everybody "Hey, there is this weird message where Microsoft is asking me if I would like to store something on this thing called 'Skydrive' - should I click 'Yes?'"

I said, "Please do. They just got a new server box in Langley, Virginia and they need you to help them build a better profile of you and all your known associates."

Everybody in the office laughed. That crazy Tex and his weird, far-out paranoid suspicions about everything. How do people like that live? They must go nuts seeing conspiracies at every turn.

Discovered an Oldie But Goodie!

It was 1990 ... fall ... and I was packing books from a dead man's apartment into a cardboard box off Central Park. The doorman had sold me a nice lot of paperbacks (Danielle Steel, Tim Robbins, Tom Clancy, the usual dreck) for a couple of ten dollar bills. I was stacking them inside the box and I noticed another rattier box sitting by the man's door with what looked like rotting fragments of books in it. I asked my doorman friend "What about those over by the door?" and he said "Those you can have for free, but you have to take them with you. It is just a lot of junk I was going to throw out, most of the books in there are about a 100 years old and some of them were stored beneath a sink."

So I took the box with me when I left and picked through it back at the warehouse that night. Found a few that looked intact.

The next morning, I sat on a plastic milk crate in front of Grand Union station after setting all my books for sale out on a table there.

The first book I had salvaged from the junk box was this one. Man was it good. I had turned over the last page by closing hour at around 2:30 that afternoon. I felt like my mind had blown out of my skull after reading it.

It was a good day for sales, too. I pocketed around $400.00 by the time I packed it up and headed back to the warehouse. Later when I sat in the diner next door for my traditional meal, I could not help but look through the book all over again, rereading some of the more mindboggling sections.

I knew that the book was really important at the time even if all of it was unfamiliar to me. It took me about 20 years to put it all together with everything else I had read.

I saw a photo of the dead man I had inherited the books from. He was a wealthy creepy Addams family-looking dude with a very large, almost freakish skull and red hair. The connection did not occur to me for a long, long time. Kind of sad nobody came to pick up his books or most of his possessions. I can't help but wonder what else I might have found if I had picked through his belongings.
