🏆Crooked Hillary got a consolation prize!!!🏆

Congratulations to Crooked Hillary Clinton, terrific lady that just won the Radcliffe Medal from the Harvard elites. An award for her "transformative impact on society." Believe me, it's been a big impact, folks.

America is far less safe and the world is far less stable than when Obama made the decision to put Hillary Clinton in charge of America's foreign policy. I am certain it is a decision he truly regrets.

Her bad instincts and her bad judgment, something pointed out by Bernie Sanders, are what caused the disasters unfolding today. Let's review the record.

In 2009, pre-Hillary, ISIS was not even on the map. Libya was stable. Egypt was peaceful. Iraq had seen a big reduction in violence. Iran was being choked by sanctions. Syria was somewhat under control.

After four years of Hillary Clinton, what did we have? ISIS spread across the region and the entire world. Libya is in ruins, and our ambassador and his CIA staff were left helpless to die at the hands of savage killers. Egypt was turned over to the radical Muslim Brotherhood, forcing the military to retake control. Iraq was in chaos. Iran is on the path to nuclear weapons. Syria is engulfed in a civil war and a refugee crisis that now threatens the West. After 16 years of wars in the Middle East, after trillions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, the situation is worse than it has ever been before.

This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction and terrorism and weakness.

But Hillary Clinton's greatest legacy is my presidency. By losing to me, she helped to bring the change in leadership that is required to produce a change in outcomes. The problems we face now -- poverty and violence at home, war and destruction abroad -- will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them.

Big business, elite media and major donors lined up behind the campaign of Hillary Clinton because they knew she would keep our rigged system in place. They threw money at her because they have total control over every single thing she does. She is their puppet, and they pull the strings. That is why Hillary Clinton's message is that things will never change. Never ever.

We must abandon the failed policy of nation-building and regime change that Hillary Clinton pushed in Iraq, Libya, in Egypt, and Syria.

America has lost nearly-one third of its manufacturing jobs since 1997, following the enactment of disastrous trade deals supported by Bill and Hillary Clinton. Remember, it was my good friend Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA, one of the worst economic deals ever made by our country. Or frankly, any other country. Never ever again.

Next comes the reform of our tax laws, regulations and energy rules. While Hillary Clinton planned a massive, and I mean massive, tax increase, I have signed the largest tax reduction in history. Middle-income Americans will experience profound relief, and taxes will be greatly simplified for everyone. I mean everyone.

Good going, Crooked Hillary!!!!

NedSpace Makes It Easier To Focus On My Work

For the most part I've been down with working at home because most of my homes had an extra room that I used as an office. But my current tiny little apartment does not; my desk is in the living room. It's all too easy to get districted by some other activity one engages in at home.

My desk at NedSpace is in a proper office that I share with one other quite-experienced coder. I was able to focus all day long. Among other things I added all of Snap, Inc.'s locations to The Global Computer Industry Index:


$ find . -name index.html -exec fgrep -q snap.com {} \; -print
./www/computer/united-kingdom/england/london/index.html
./www/computer/united-states/illinois/cook/chicago/index.html
./www/computer/united-states/new-york/new-york/index.html
./www/computer/united-states/california/los-angeles/los-angeles/index.html
./www/computer/united-states/california/santa-clara/mountain-view/index.html
./www/computer/united-states/california/san-francisco/san-francisco/index.html
./www/computer/united-states/washington/king/seattle/index.html
./www/computer/telecommute/index.html
./www/computer/ukraine/kiev/index.html

./www/computer/switzerland/vaud/yverdon-les-bains/index.html
./www/computer/united-arab-emirates/dubai/index.html
./www/computer/china/shenzen/index.html

Tomorrow I'm not going to list any companies instead I'll start working on some - long overdue - automation.

To my great - and endlessly-repeated - dismay, every time I start to write a new Python program I soon realize that I've forgotten it all.

I long ago grew weary of the Python.org tutorial. Perhaps I can find a fresh, new tutorial that doesn't make my eyes glaze over.

Bonita Said I Drink Like A Girl

Whereas she preferred to drink in such a way that she'd really get into her dance moves, on top of a table while wearing a lamp shade.

One of Nedspace tenants is trading an infinite supply of Kombucha for a hot desk. The guy's into marketing.

Kombucha is sad to be good for your dookies. Us old guys gotta be concerned about stuff like that.

While it's not labeled as an alcoholic beverage, the fermentation puts a little alcohol in it. Just a little.

But that "little" is big enough that I'm now drunk.

At work. ;-)

Senator @RogerWicker of Mississippi has done everything necessary to Make America Great Again! Big supporter of our carbon industry, he says we need to get out of the Paris agreement. And I'm working very hard on that one, believe me. Get out and vote for Roger, he has my total support!

In High Tax, Crime Infested & Breeding California, be sure to get out and vote for Republican John Cox for Governor. California finally deserves a great Governor, one who understands borders, crime and lowering taxes. And he knows how to fix the marijuana problem. He says, put the MJ addicts in a hospital until they're cured. Like they do in Portugul. He will make a BIG difference!

Get the vote out in California today for Rep. Kevin McCarthy -- my House Majority Leader and a big friend of our magnificent coal industry -- and all of the great GOP candidates for Congress. Keep our country out of the hands of High Tax, High Crime, MS-13 Loving Nancy Pelosi.

Vote for Congressman Devin Nunes, a true American Patriot the likes of which we rarely see in our modern day world. Tremendous help in STOPPING THE WITCH HUNT against me....he's done a lot to stop the marijuana problem....he truly loves our country and deserves everyone’s support!

Why Isn't My Head Shot To The Life Of My Bio?

Meet the Team.

This particular draft of my bio is what I just submitted to Nedspace's members-only Google Group to introduce myself. For the Team page I'm going to go into more detail about my background in drivers and embedded systems development. Aside from OSX those have both been mostly storage and crypto.

Stylesheet.

Both the markup and the css are valid yet I'm fucked if I know why my photo isn't to the left of my bio.

And yes, Portland Custom Software Development really has always been a "we" and not just an "I". Rod Schmidt was a schoolmate at the Institute, Blacker House Engineering And Applied Science '83.

Oddly at least at the time Caltech did not offer a Computer Science major.

I have Rod's photo but haven't yet cropped and resized it. He'll write his bio after I'm done writing mine.

I Proclaim June 2018 as National LGB Pride Month

During National LGB Pride Month, we affirm the joy and benefits of being lesbian, gay or bisexual. And we celebrate the tremendous achievements and contributions of our lesbians, gays & bisexuals. For millions of Americans, being lesbian, gay or bisexual is an important step toward financial security and achieving the American Dream. Throughout our history, being lesbian, gay or bisexual has demonstrated its power to elicit comfort, healing, happiness, conviction, and inspiration -- as well as its ability to unite people of all backgrounds. The expression of these diverse styles acts as a voice for freedom, justice, love, and the pursuit of happiness.

My Administration is committed to fostering an economic environment in which every family has the opportunity to enjoy the sense of pride and stability that can come with being lesbian, gay or bisexual. Lesbian-gay-bisexual culture has played a significant role in shaping the American dream and instilling a sense of pride in being an “American.”

Our Nation’s economy is experiencing tremendous growth. I signed into law historic tax reform that cut taxes for middle class Americans and small businesses. My Administration has also slashed unnecessary and burdensome regulations that stunted economic growth. As a result of these actions, Americans are keeping more of their hard-earned paychecks, unemployment rates are at historic lows, and more Americans are entering the workforce. Consequently, being lesbian, gay or bisexual is becoming more attainable for many Americans.

The talent and creativity of people like Kevin Spacey, Ellen DeGeneres, Jodie Foster, Neil Patrick Harris, Miss Coco Peru otherwise known as the drag version of Clinton Leupp, James Dean, Perez Hilton, George Takei, Jane Lynch, Adam Lambert, Lily Tomlin, Rock Hudson, Martina Navratilova, Divine otherwise known as the drag version of Harris Milstead, Sarah Paulson, Lance Bass, William S. Burroughs, Jeffree Star, Kelly McGillis, Sara Gilbert, David Hyde Pierce, Clay Aiken, Nathan Lane, Barney Frank who looked disgusting -- nipples protruding -- very very disrespectful in his blue shirt before Congress, Richard Chamberlain -- still alive by the way, Tom Ford, Harvey Milk, Melissa Etheridge, Meredith Baxter, John Waters, Andy Cohen, Greg Louganis,Truman Capote, Allen Ginsberg, Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, Beth Ditto, Ami Cusack, Harvey Fierstein, Robert Patrick, Nancy Wilson, Chris Kanyon, Walt Whitman, Johnny Mathis -- amazingly still alive, the incredible Liberace, Roy Cohn -- my closest friend, Andy Warhol -- he did some paintings for me that I almost bought, Wanda Sykes -- OK not Wanda, Rachel Maddow -- OK, maybe not her either, Rosie O'Donnell -- you know, I've been very rough on Rosie, and she deserves 100% of it, but she was so right about the WTC and about Comey -- and many others have indelibly enriched our culture and our lives.

Numerous benefits are associated with being lesbian, gay or bisexual. It gives Americans a place of comfort and safety where they can raise their families. Lesbians, gays & bisexuals also support local businesses, have a strong vested interest in their communities, and foster bonds of friendship with others who live and work in their neighborhoods. They invest in family, in community, and in the long-term prosperity of our great country.

This month, we celebrate those Americans whose success and determination have helped make them lesbian, gay or bisexual. Their dedication to their families and communities, and to achieving a brighter and more secure future, is an inspiration to each person who is pursuing their own American Dream.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2018 as National LGB Pride Month.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-second.

🏳️‍🌈DONALD J. TRUMP🏳️‍🌈

Edit: added Kevin Spacey
