Hard SF Author. Readers call my stories 'Cory Doctorow meets James S A Corey.' I like making scifi concepts easy to understand. If you like Linda Nagata, Kim Stanley Robinson, and John Scalzi - I'd love to get to know you.

My dream is to take care of myself and be nice to people - I'm doing that by practicing to be a self-sufficient science fiction author.

I can be a petty SOB.

I asked my multi-livestreaming service to prorate me and let me out of the last two months of my year long subscription because I wouldn't be using the service anymore.

They said, "No." which is their right. If they want to hold to that last $30, they have every right to.

I ALSO have the right to post EVERYTHING WRONG with the service in detail on all of their YouTube videos. Copy and paste is a great tool.

BTW. The service is called "EVMUX". I do not recommend.

@Mrfunkedude I get it - you feel exploited. At the same time, as a creator, you have to decide whether this is what you want your audience to know about you ("This guy is so petty that ...")

Win or lose, you're the one that will end up being hurt. Give it a ponder.

@Mrfunkedude I get it - and that's why I like you - just presenting an alternative perspective because if I were in your situation, that's what I would want.

Fun fact 1 - I run one of the biggest independent scifi communities on the Internet.

Fun fact 2 - I'm doing author interviews on Inkican.com

Fun fact 3 - I'm the perfect vehicle for author exposure.

Interested in being interviewed on Inkican.com? DM me - I'll explain how it works.

Kids these days will never appreciate how much TLS is built into everything. Back in my day, we had to setup stunnel connections for encrypting database and vendor API connections if we wanted them to be encrypted.

@vwbusguy And we had to push that SSL uphill, both ways!

@vwbusguy And every time you asked someone to generate a hash they asked 'hash browns or corned beef hash?' and we learned to like it!

I was just informed about 15 minutes ago that I have another MAJOR meeting at 2pm EST with regards to work stuff.

This one isn't as intense as yesterday's could have been, but it's still discussing some major steps of what's next and similar other things.

Send some positive vibes my way and let's hope things work out with what I'm wanting and needing!

This puts me one step closer! 🤪
