Those Violent Amish

Three men are dead in Fresno, after a man named Kori Ali Muhammad opened fire, hitting four white men in total and killing three of them. He is also suspected of the murder of a security guard this past Thursday.

A survey of his Twitter shows him using the well known Amish hate phrase "Allahu Akbar." Not that you would know that from the AP, as they said that he was instead shouting "God is great" as he went on his murderous rampage. True that is a rough approximation of what the phrase means, but I am reasonably sure that everybody these days knows who is likely to be shouting that phrase as they murder the innocent.

It's the Amish of course.

Anything to further obfusticate the facts of the case and push the Narrative of Muslims(I mean Amish) as peace-loving, misunderstood individuals, not like those violent Christians who go to church on Sunday where they plot to further their terroristic reign over the world.

ABC is now reporting that the aforesaid violent Amish extremist has been arrested. We can all rest easier now.

Soviet Mainframe Computers

Ural-1 Control Unit The world of Soviet tech is an interesting one, they frequently were forced to resort to workarounds as they attempted to compensate for their lagging technological development when compared to the West. This does not detract from their very real accomplishments in areas such as the space race, where they led the West for years before finally irrevocably falling behind after the untimely death of their leading designer, Sergei Korolev in 1966. I recently purchased an entire book on eBay called The Technological Level of Soviet Industry, (archived 1978 review here , there is no direct link to buy it as even Amazon doesn't seem to have it). This isn't a full book, rather it is a collection of different author's papers all bound together. I purchased the book specifically to get Chapter 8, Computer technology which is an extremely good resource on the state of Soviet computing in the late 70s. At the time of publication in 1977, personal computers...

On Writing, Word Counts, and Motivation

I am not an author. What I am is an aspiring author, someone who has hopes of having a career as an author, where people pay me money in exchange for my stories. Right now, what I have is a completed novel that has so far earned me .45 cents and some outlines of stories in various stages of completion. And you know what? That is completely fine, Rome was neither built nor burned in a day. What I am trying to chart on this blog is the path that I follow on my way to whatever success I eventually wind up with, and to be an encouragement to anyone else out here who is trying to get off the ground, same as I am. Currently, I am an S List novelist, based on Larry Correia's Offical Alphabetical List of Author Success , which he defined as: S List – The Struggling Authors who’ve written something, but haven’t had any luck selling it yet. Authors with the most incredibly frustrating job in the universe. The Future of Writing. That's actually very encouraging because it gives...

Python 3.8 and Pygame 2.0

One of my goals for the year has been to learn Python. I got started on it earlier this year, but a move to a different state got me out of my routine of studying it every day, so its been a couple months since I last looked at it. Now that I am all settled in here I decided to pick up where I left off, but change things up a bit. I had been working my way through Christian Thompson's excellent series on creating a Space Invaders clone in Python and had successfully gotten a little spaceship moving around, and a couple enemies on screen that could be fired at, and register a hit. However this tutorial uses Python Turtle and I decided that I wanted to learn with Pygame , since that is quite a bit more capable than Turtle and learning it would enable me to theoretically build games down the road. The chances of that happening are quite remote, as I am primarily interested in learning Python as a tool for data analysis to augment my FileMaker development skills, but I thi...
