Welcome!
Thank you for visiting.
My name is Daniel Howard. I grew up in Chicago, and I live in
San Francisco Brooklyn
Mountain View Sunnyvale, CA. I was born in 1976:
the year of the American Bicentennial. I have a Bachelor's degree in
English Rhetoric, but I make my living as a Systems Administrator.
I enjoy writing, and I started publishing on the web in 1995, and an online journal in 1996. I will introduce you further on the Welcome page, or you can start exploring on your own . . .
Truth be told, I post more often to Social Media, including:

- https://www.facebook.com/dannymanTM <-- Facebook ("fah-chey-BOKE")
- https://bsky.app/profile/dannyman.toldme.com <-- Bluesky ("blues-kee")

Congressman Al Green Calls for Incivility–For a Noble Cause
Representative Al Green was censured for disrupting the President’s address. He gave a speech acknowledging his censure and proceeded to explain why he did what he did. I appreciated what he had to say to such a degree that I transcribed a portion to share.
“There comes a time when you can not allow the President’s incivility to take advantage of our civility. And that’s what’s happening in our country. His incivility is overwhelming our civility. We can not allow this.”
FreeBSD was my first free Unix Operating System. I must have first used it in 1996? It is a great server OS, and made a fine desktop in the old days as well. Sometime in the aughts I transitioned to Ubuntu Linux, just because a more mainstream OS tends to have better support.
Infrastructure: always a work in progress!
Nobody reads my blog. And that’s okay.
Elder Son walked across the bridge, and the guys from his new troop adorned him with a fancy new bi-color kerchief.
But today it is raining, so anything is possible.
Letter to the Editor: “expose e-bike risks”
We need to stop blaming our children for our failures and get to work.
