Any GCp or cobol experts in the house interested in a bit of IBM mainframe freelance work? Let me know info@infosecurity.pro
I worked with COBOL on mainframes some 18 years ago. If you can not find anyone to help, I may be able to take a look. abhijit.ray@gmail.com
It's not everyday when you can announce a new BBS. A friend of mine resurrected his old BBS, The Lost Cavern. Runs on a Commodore 64, so you can use Petscii and 40/80 columns. If you want so see petscii with a terminal emulator, I suggest using "Syncterm". If you want to check it out, here's the information: Lost Caverns BBS tlcbbs.dynu.net:6400 tlcbbs.dynu.net:6401 https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=76912

I probably should have announced it sooner than Fall 2015/Winter 2016 but Grex Agora is my blog. I hope you've been enjoying it. Bitcoin wallet address will be provided for interested donors who want to buy me some duct tape and a blue tarp. Here's some free music from my mixcloud account. This episode, Part I of the 'Power Pop' series: https://www.mixcloud.com/councilof9/the-jam-elvis-costello-replacements- nick-lowe-undertones-new-york-dolls-soft-boys-only-ones/ I would have tinyurl'd that link but what happened to tinyurl? Is there an alternative?

and...the infamous early beginning for legendary industrial metal pioneer MINISTRY! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBWSm3dQpvk I've never had a Tab or a Shasta. Honestly, I don't think I've had a Coke or Pepsi for years. I grew up on it so it's so strange when I think about it. I slug coffee (even at night) and sometimes I have a rare unsweetened ice tea.
Remember that Start Trek Generation scene where the Borg Hue tells Picard posing as Locutus that he will not assimilate Jordi? Someone should show that scene to Biden to change his mind about the OSHA mandate. Fucking traitors and tyrants.
resp:30 Don't show Biden anything about the Borg. He will think it's a good idea.

Pericarditis? Is that the addiction to cardigan sweaters?
Rumor is that Grex is going to quit before it's fired. Sanjay is in the lobby with his new badge. I saw some boxes near the conference rooms, which are all booked for the day. Linda from HR was crying in the elevator.
resp:35 I have no sympathy for Linda from HR ;)
re #36 LOL re #35 Grex was tired of being talked down to and being micromanaged. Ajilonentureware has been outsourced to replace it. Thanking you kindly, sir.
Ajilonentureware goes by Allison

Magic thinking, greed and magic beans got us here. If I was dedicated to this bit I would do a Weird Al on these lyrics and shape them to mock petrol dollars ending, Japanese bonds crashing, cheap Chinese junk & bridge/road scams fueling our greatest adversaries. But NO! ;) Magic Lyrics by Olivia Newton-John You have to believe we are magic Nothin' can stand in our way You have to believe we are magic Don't let your aim ever stray And if all your hopes survive Destiny will arrive I'll bring all your dreams alive For you I'll bring all your dreams alive For you
(don't be ashamed to admit you pictured Olivia with her awesome teased out aqua-net hair and beautiful long legs in that "Physical" spandex when you read those Magic lyrics)
I actually pictured Olivia singing to me as I tried to catch my breath while tying my shoes over my big fat belly. And then I wondered if she was a closet smoker like half of Hollywood to keep their Dachau physiques. I guess we'll never know now. Bloomberg keeps falling all over itself trying to say the economy is at the bottom of the bear and coming back up to the bull. Truman Capote yelled "And that's a wrap!" then snorted a few rails of heroin with Lou Reed while hitting Biden with their riding crops. Bloomberg is always naughty and misleading like a koolaid party at Anderson Coopers penthouse.
#43 Yes to the second paragraph. I wonder if most Americans know what happened to several Prime Ministers in Africa when they said "no" to Pfizer. Or the PM of Haiti? What happened to him? And who replaced him? A cynical person could just do a quick web search while coyly wondering if the new Haitian PM was a CIA puppet, formerly educated in America. That's nuts though. Don't ask those kinds of questions. I wonder if most Americans know that the average Haitian resident couldn't afford a one night's stay in Martha's Vineyard with a full year's pay. Or...if they knew that Haitians are finally protesting their own poverty while billions of donated dollars line the pockets of the puppets that lord over them. Or that American gunboats were sent to put down their protest. I thought Americans valued protests. Hmmm and so strange that American news outlets aren't talking about the gunboats. Then I start to wonder if maybe the gunboats are there to support the puppet and to protect slave labor and Haiti's own "Martha's Vineyard". https://visithaiti.com/ Farce after farce. Yes, the stock market. Oh boy. They lie and then reshape history again and again. But they are tolerant as long as you believe their lies and don't ask questions.
Bloomberg every 3 days "the market is up! things are good!"
As the manipulation becomes so f'ing obvious, amplified and outrageous over time, it first insults, then frustrates, then angers me. I'm at that last point now. It's hard to even look at any "news" now, regardless of the source. I'm better off with indie/jazz/classical music and some youtube videos of other like-minded people discussing geopolitics and the economy. It makes me feel like I live in a world where I can sit at a table and talk with reasonable people. Most people I know now want to talk about things that are so pedestrian (like getting drunk or stupid TV) that I honestly can't deal with it. In the meantime, Boston University develops a Covid strain that is deadly enough to kill 80% of the mice. No one asks why Eco Health Alliance is funding it or why these people aren't swinging from ropes for crimes against humanity. Then I wonder if people are mentally ill, drinking, gambling, cheating and maxing out credit cards because they know this too and can't deal with it. China is about to move in on Taiwan, Russia threatens to nuke us, gunboats in Haiti, China reselling Russian oil to Europe...it's all a bit too much as WalMart rolls out the Christmas merchandise and the Fed openly calls for mass unemployment.
resp:46 > I'm better off with ... music and some YT videos pf other like-minded > people ... I'm very much with you there, but sometimes wonder if it's just another form of trap. I would think that the lack of unbiased new sources would be a big business opportunity. Maybe the free market really is broken. Maybe there are so few of us who want to hear the straight story and decide for ourselves, as you say, "...because they know this too...", and there is no hope for recovery during the current generations. I have long suspected that we are not headed for a cliff, but have already shot over the edge and are now hanging in mid-air like Wile E. Coyote before plunging to the canyon floor far below.
If you are over the cliff and never look down, you don't fall. By that logic, if we simply redefine what a woman is, women have penises and if we redefine inflation and recession, the good times are rolling like a desert tumbleweed. If it takes a village, the school decides if your kid is a boy or a girl and can issue puberty blockers without your consent. If you object, the school calls CPS. Why are suicide, heart inflammation and cancer rates up so high? How many kicks does it take to get to the center of an abandoned school's ballot stuffing operation? Ask Woodsy Owl. If dead people are "looking down at us" from on high, I wonder if they can't see the despair through the trees. The globalists have taken over the UK. I think the quickening is upon us now. Will they bring back Covid? What happens the day after the midterm election? I wonder if Biden will still be emptying out gas reserves?
There's a war on disinformation. The real information is endorsed by people pushing for open borders but the call the national guard when a few illegals appear in their neighborhood. They push for alternative energy which doesn't exist at sustainable levels and for a pick-your- gender society in which every word and facial reflex is an attack on another person's mental well-being. The earth is a field of eggshells. Volodymyr Zelenskyy poses in his army tee shirt and flexes his biceps for the cameras. BPA is a synthetic estrogen. It can damage fetuses, alter brains and brain chemistry and cause genital abnormalities. It lines the cans of beverages and is in our food. We know this is true, so WHY continue to use BPA or as consumers, buy the products? They/Them Drag queen story time Convicted pedophiles in clown makeup in the schools given access to the children Schools assigning gender and handing out puberty blockers How does all this affect the Military Industrial Complex, which seems to embrace it? Sometimes it seems like we are lead by our noses into an abyss. When i was at the supermarket checkout, I saw AOC on the cover of GQ. She's a working class hero.
resp:49 Stay healthy, walkman!
Thanks Papa, I'm trying. Here's some good information for this morning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDe6GWqpCjw I love how we are about the hear that the third quarter in row is in decline, yet officials are "predicting" a recession in a year. The drowning man is predicting that he may get wet in the next month.
Bloomberg is our own Chemical Ali The week after the election results the revolution will not be televised.
1000% chance the diesel fuel runs out shortly after the election is stolen. Government fuel reserves shut off. Pipelines closed. Drilling contracts canceled. Refineries shuttered. Sabre rattling against China and Russia will translate into no goods, no raw materials, no fuel. In the meantime, type "refinery fire" in your favorite search engine. It's almost like this stuff has been engineered! Remember the food processing plant fires from the summer? It all must be a coincidence because gosh, the stock market is red hot and unemployment is 3.5% ha ha ha If people aren't stacking cans of vegetables, they are crazy. I was at the local BJ's warehouse and the prices were outrageous. I wanted to grab some loose ends. Coconut oil used to be $6, now $11. Coffee, rice, cooking oil, frozen chicken, etc. all high prices. Plus lots of empty spaces on the shelves - especially in the frozen food area. I think people are catching on.
Pumpkin spice denial Banning petrol based vehicles by 2035 in Europe. That's so awesome. 5 days jail and a $5k fine for a DUI. Hammer not included.
Being a retro video game junkie, I have to reference an excellent 1990 Irem game called "Hammering Harry". Also, Mario used to hammer to smash barrels. Can't touch this. "Pumpkin spice denial" ~ LOL yes!!! Brenda and Karen really have no idea do they? I think they will be the ones hit hardest by inconvenience. Right now the iPhone factory in China with it's 200,000 workers are in Covid lockdown. Brenda won't get her iphone 14. Maybe she can put a phone case on her iphone 12 and no one will notice? You can assume Karen will look at the camera configuration on back and make a quick judgement. Brenda and Karen are already upside down in their McMansions and their husbands Chad and Ken are about to get cut from Deloitte and Goldman Sachs. It's too late in my career to become a tow truck driver but I am considering it as a plan b. Either that or office clerk at the local Public Storage units. Need to think ahead! I wonder if Karen and Brenda know that cell phone tower backup batteries only last for 4 hours once the power is cut. Maybe Verizon can send out diesel generators. Oh wait.
Tow truck and storage trade schools - brilliant plan B! Repurpose Peloton as Gilligan's Island generators.
Few noticed that the radio on Gilligan's Island was originally a Magnavox Celestial FM-97 but later switched to a Packard Bell 8RT2 8 Transistor AM Radio. If you wanted to put a radio in your go bag, i would recommend a Sony SRF-M70. You can get them on ebay for dirt, dirty cheap. They are rugged, waterproof and have digital tuning that you can store. Another great radio which is actually my favorite for AM DXing is the Sony SRF-39. I had one when they first came out in the late 80's and later bought one on ebay circa 2010? The best signal of any handheld radio I've ever experienced. Plus you can actually take it apart and tweak the AM signal by scooting the wiring on the ferrite bar. A+ sound quality too and if you are going to splurge - there's a prison version that is see-thru. COOL! (Of course I have one in my stash) Not exactly "announcement material" but supposedly grex is dying so who cares?
You have several choices:
