Programming — beginner!

Screwdriver

© Copyright 2002 by 45 Mike Did you know that it is illegal in many places, notably, ANYWHERE inside the city limits of Tacoma, WA. to possess a knife with a blade length over 3 1/2 inces long? I’ll tell ya, that came as a complete surprise to me, but apparently my assistance in trying […]

Something from Nothing

© Copyright 1990-2008 by 45 Mike Anderson Choose one of the following: a. Nothing b. Something If you choose Something, then what happened “before” Something? The answer of course is Nothing! This starts with Nothing. (I will use the term “xor” throughout this discussion. Xor is a logical operand that means, “exclusive or”. The reason […]

Stupid Tuesday, Election opinion

© Copyright November 06, 2006 by 45 Mike OK, dunno about any of the rest of you, but I am personally just sick of hearing and seeing advertisements in print, web, radio and TV concerning the elections. If any one of the candidates running in Montana were to tell the honest truth, no one would […]

internet dating site problems

© Copyright Dec 13, 2009 by 45 Mike Anderson I just read an article that was interesting.

At that time, a male […]

Today

I didn’t want to feel this way, but once again, I am reminded that the goddess has darker aspects. The gifts of the season and celebrations are not always welcome, nor pleasant. I didn’t want to spend time with my head down and tears flowing like a lost child. Here I am regardless, in darkness, […]
