Greetings. Welcome to Turloch O'Tierneys Home Page. Ver 2.6 20May2005

This is a collection of RANTS .
May 2009, Reaching out, a married man looking for ex girlfriends (real (2) and imaginary (2)) and being disappointed they are married. Is it me just turning slimy - or was the world always thus. Funny I would reach out for men but their would not be a sexual buzz/role we could both play.
I am just a troll (trying to start a debate about a subject) throwing up stuff that I hope, but do not expect, some people will be interested in. Read this whole page first without following the links then graze on what you fancey!

LATEST WHIMSEY FIRST:
To Do0.9 write a blog escaping the assylim with a brief analysis of mystage dives into the chattering classes.
To Do1 write a novel: autobiographical or the future of Ireland inspired by 1984 and giving organisation of IRA cells as part of the novel that may change the course of Irish history. My score 5/10
To Do1.5 write a novel weaving in as much of todays issues in science and mathamatics, to appear intelligeny by alluding to learnid issues, very alice in wonderland, maybe i need to write it for someone who is not yet interested in such things, maybe a 11 year old, who can think about hard problems as part of a narrative. I think it is important to not view the world as decided, maybe something like the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy was that book and I remain 20 years behind the times. My score 4/10
To Do2 micro currency for schools so students can organisae and build up clubs and businesses and have more of a clue than I did, something measurable. Maybe just a club in a box software is what is required, and already done no doubt. My score 2/10
To Do3 micro functions, write functions that take less than a week and build up a [nother] free software library.My score 4/10
Irish linux user group ILUG is talking about a wiki for linux in schools in ireland, any students on this site check out scoil.linux.ie
FYI Zyxel Prestige 623-T1 can use the usb and ethernet ports at the same time. Or at least alternately. Rebooted both computers connected brought up google on one, brought up yahoo on the other. No problem. Yipee no extra hardware to have my two PCs online.
Shoulder serf and log Log of a day in the life of a (good?) open source developer, a log in detail of the development of a piece of software not just how someting was done but the blind allwys invstigated. Is this a good idea, has it been done already, all I can think of is Linus Torvaldus emails 'http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&w=2&r=1&s=Linus+Torvalds&q=a'

Manic Manifesto I have manic depressive relatives: Call for manic depressive and or bipolar contacts in Dublin Ireland.

href http://www.oocities.org/totierne/Breakdown.html Google honeypot_Breakdown.html (removed direct http link so page will not be on google, no need to trap unsuspecting surfers, given that No_Meaning.html page got the following votes 6 negative and 1 positive.) If I have a page long enough maybe it is bound to get odd matches from google (discuss). WARNING LONG PAGE NEARLY 1 MEG.

Eamonns site (not my brother, man.) Shows how desperate I am for readers, actually his site is ok, and has a point or 2 (max), unlike some web pages like this one has no real point, just self ranting to a possible google audience of millions but actual audience of hmmmmm say 10, say 2 if you count people who return, that is me and someone else (unknown) someone found me by looking up 'sex and warrenpoint' on google, which made my brother Eamonn laugh. He is in a good mood at times, othertimes like me he tries too hard. Eamonns, not my brother, said he would look at my site and link to it if I did the same. The lying git. But I am desparate. I'm 93 you know. No I am not just in case you thought there was a point to that last statement it was a parody of trying to start a conversation, by non interesting half pieces of information, almost public private encryption key like, actually it is a bit Marvin the depressed android like (discuss (if you must)).

Community building comment please my current meme for the last 48 hrs.

START HERE:=Stray Thoughts please comment [Closest to coherent [I did not say coherent.]]
From my link tracking: Most people read and follow links from the first two paragraphs of 'Stray Thoughts please comment', these paragraphs are Introduction and Womanising, are you most people?[A challenge to read more and request more from me, though maybe people always follow the first couple of links, or maybe life is a human interest soap opera. This is a good wake up call for technical me to try and boost social interest me.]

Should be private, but I am a public kind of guy. And nobody reads this... 90% unedited junk. SUE ME [IANAA,IANAL] Neither an American or a Lawyer I am. [nor yoda - anybody get the allusion..]

BOMBS all round

'I want to be the minority' - Green Day, unfortunity the minorities are everywhere LOL, Hey Ronnie Reagan I'm black and I'm pagan .... (from: Christy Moore)

based on:

'In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up." '

This a a quote attributed to Martin Niemoeller, When they came for the Jews . Source: Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 16th ed.

from http://www.hoboes.com/html/FireBlade/Politics/niemoller.shtml

Niemoller was tainted. He had been a U-boat captain in WW I prior to becoming a pastor. And he supported Hitler prior to his taking power. Indeed, initially the Nazi press held him up as a model... for his service in WW I.

But Niemoller broke very early with the Nazis. 1933
