I find that I don't really code anymore. Not really. And yet, I've lost nothing in the transaction, and perhaps even gained a bit in the bargain. bonesmoses.org/2026/hand-cra…

Hand Crafted

Despite what many may think given my background, I’ve never been much of a coder. I learned BASIC in 5th grade for all that’s worth. Since then it’s been a meandering path through C and C++, Perl,...

Today, a bad guy with a gun killed multiple children. A good guy with a gun killed him. If the good guy followed the nonsensical rules, only the bad guy would be armed, and more people would be dead. Gun free zones don’t stop bad guys. A good guy with a gun, can.

All last night I fought the bastard though. Every time it would attack, I would start moving my ankle and toes.

I haven't had an attack since this morning and last night I noticed every time I performed the aforementioned movement, the attacks got shorter.
