Erroneous Knowledge

Simulation and Simulacra took over my life for a period of time where I followed a course of study to deconstruct the book's meaning philosophically. It was rather bunk because much of the book is drawn out horseshit. Pataphysics is a science of nonsense and thus is bullshit. A fictive theory of theory is free floating from reality thus not exactly taking part in reality but a superimposition of speculative fiction. I was foolish for spending 7 years of my life devoted to understanding the book which I read over and over again several times trying to piece out a hidden meaning in the arcane details of the tome. I should of studied something more fruitful and legitimate like Hume or Hegel or anything else. But once Baudrillard died I realized I would never fully understand with the progenitor of the text passing. I should have studied french more so as to ascertain the word play at hand in the text. French thought is given to stylistics moreso than in analytical anglo philosophy. Wi...

Onward with Python, the fundamentals of python course starts on this coming thursday. I will try to document my progress. From "if __name__ = __main__" to data structures and algorithms and big-O notation. This should be a fun care free blog about python hopefully. My original idea for the blog was to blog about Golang but ever since they introduced generics to the language I kind of got lost. I also got lost in the intricacies of metaprogramming like the idea of reflections in Go though I did not have a deep knowledge. I got lost in Rakulang as well which was a strange detour in watching the development of a language though it may of been more fruitful to have watched Rust than Raku come to play in the market of ideas. Raku was cool because the language allowed one to provide logic to regular expressions which is hard to explain. There were a lot of constructs being juggled and the language was still very much in development despite having been released into the wild. Going ...

I feel like I lack the real skills to enter the field. I have general knowledge of security from physical security learned from the CISSP and digital security learned from the CCSF cybersecurity courses. Yet I feel like I am not qualified to jump the skills gap. I am not a hacker by any means and I think this puts me at a disadvantage of entering the field. I am not hacker elite so I can not get hired right off the street with my skills. General knowledge is not enough. But I will ford the river and get through hopefully somehow I will gain the required hands on skills to get my foot in the door. I was thinking of continuing my education at city college san francisco in networking and web development so as to specialize in web application security. I figure if I understand what it takes to build a web application that will give me foresight into web app sec. Web-App-Sec is a hot buzz word like devsecops or ai. I can do it. It will just require me to try harder and work harder. I am cur...

It has been a long time coming but I need to document my studies in computers more thoroughly to actively document to prove to myself I am progressing and moving towards something to fruition. During the pandemic I studied cyber security online through city college of san francisco. It seemed like a proactive thing to do during the moment of harboring doom. I studied about malware, exploit development, and I guess smart phone technology. There was a little reverse engineering of programs in the mobile hacking course which goes the same for the malware course where you would dissassemble a program in Ghidra or IDA and pick through the bones of code. Exploit development was cool because you got to implement rudimentary buffer overflows though the class never taught about circumventing the methods to avoid the basic buffer overflow such as ASLR canaries and DEP. I learned a lot but I have forgotten a lot too. I would obsessively memorize the text to pass the many tests but I do not think ...

Seems to be a story about a bar in Oakland where the bartenders keep dying from either old age or complications of the bartender's life style. Tony was a barber who ran the bar who recently passed. I wanted to write a story about him in rememberance though the guy hated me and would openly mock me at the bar. I was not on the best of terms but I have sympathies for the guy. He died in the bar from bad drugs. He died in the place he loved, Geo's Kayes. I don't know I suppose this is another anti-story. A loose sequence of encounters at the bar, a rolling history perhaps? The bar meant a lot to me being the only place I could go given my situation as a wash out. Washed out of school without a clue to what to do and so I went to this bar in Oakland where the bartender would forget to charge you and it was in the time where you could freely smoke in bars without a complaint. Geo's Kayes was a time capsule carved from smoke and amber. Cobwebs danced in the corners, holding o...
