The FBI Is Investigating Me Because I Tweeted A Joke About Fake News

It's a company run by engineers. There were electronic bits all over the place. I said I liked that about them.

They are asking me to quote them on three different projects. The first one is only a week or two of work - heh: "only" - the other two I'm going to have to study before I can quote them.

If these three work out OK they said they'd have lots more work for me.

I shouldn't say who it is because that would preannounce that they will be supporting Mac OS X. Mostly they need drivers.

There are very few Mac driver consultants, as most who know how to do it have perm jobs at apple.

I'm both excited, and greatly relieved.

A couple months ago I lost a good contract because I don't have a Mac. I had a really tricked-out MacBook Pro, but it died shortly after the AppleCare extended warranty expired.

They were completely cool with that, and said they have macs I can use.

I specifically asked to work on-site. The vast majority of my clients are remote, but these guys I can get to on the bus and light rail. They were very pleased by that.

I asked to work on-site before I asked them to lend me a Mac, so they would understand I didn't plan to take it home with me.

I should be able to buy a new MacBook Pro with my first paycheck. That will be the third I've owned. I have no complaints about the first one, it lasted six years.

It's not a sure thing yet but the client sounded quite enthusiastic about me.

They're my usual sort of client, they have some windows products and they want them to work on the mac.

Google "mac os x device drivers". When I try my company is the eighth hit.

The great SEO is due to the "Tips" articles I provide. Link Popularity "flows through" from linked page to linked page. Those articles are very popular.

I'm under NDA so I can't say much about it. They're a hardware vendor. They have three projects for me so I could be working for them for several months.

I told my doctor that the imipramine that I've been taking for depression is not working as well as I expected it to. I told him I was bored all the time, that I knew plenty of things that would relieve the boredom but that I didn't want to do any of them.

He told me to discontinue the imipramine and put me on Latuda. This is a new medication that is said to work especially well for Manic-Depressives.

I've been taking the Latuda for a few days, but I know very well that all antidepressants require a long time to take effect.

However the other night I did some drawing. I'm quite good when I'm in practice but have not been in practice. I could see that I drew better than the last few times I tried.

More importanly I found myself absorbed into the work. Not bored at all not noticing the passage of time, it was a good experience.

I have Bipolar-Type Schizoaffective Disorder. That's much like being manic-depressive and schizophrenic at the same time. For a little less than a year I've been beset with depression.

I asked my witch doctor to prescribe imipramine, which has worked well for my depression before, but it is not working as well as I hoped. While I don't feel sadness or despair, I am bored all the time yet cannot bring myself to do anything to relieve the boredom.

There are plenty of things I could do, I am well aware of them but I cannot get motivated to actually do any of them.

I was working on my own software product. It's "mostly done" with lots of little things left to do. I cannot bring myself to work on it.

But manic-depressives have a cycle. Bipolar mania is like being high on laughing gas. It doesn't make sense to me just now that I could ever be like that, yet I know from experince that I have been.

I take Trileptal to prevent the mania. It's worked so far but I've only taken it a little over a year. It doesn't really work to take it just when the mania is coming on, because the early incidence of mania is quite subtle.

I'm going to ask my doctor to change my antidepressant, either to increase the dose or give me a different one. There have been plenty of times that I've been far worse than this, yet antidepressants got me back to normal.

If the new medicine works I am confident I can finish my product.

Oculus VR made "factually inaccurate" statements in ZeniMax lawsuit, forensic analyst says

A recently-granted motion in the lawsuit between ZeniMax Media and Oculus VR suggests that the case could be about to get very interesting, and not in a way that's good for Oculus. The motion to "permit disclosure of any 'demonstrably inaccurate' representations made to court," as reported by Polygon, indicates that an independent expert investigating the case found sworn statements that are "factually incorrect," and that "critical log files" on one of John Carmack's hard drives were deleted prior to its collection as evidence.

I'm too lazy to give this one the research needed to produce a coherent submission, since I haven't been following the case.
