Once again, I'm not really back, but whatever.
Mrs. Deserted and I are once again moving since the last time I was here. Goodbye "Formerly the Capitol Back When This Was a Territory", hello "Two Highways and a Walmart, Brought to You by 98% Humidity". We depart around the 28th of this month and will take 3 days of driving (around 2000 miles/3200 km) -- we could do it in 2 but I don't care to go insane on the way there. Much. This is a long trip -- it's a bit like driving from Monaco to Moscow, or Perth to Melbourne.
The insurance thing never really happened; every company I signed on makes "sleazy" look like "squeaky clean" by comparison. Driving never stopped; in fact, it ramped up quite a bit for various reasons. However, I got a new programming client who essentially turned into my boss, and he's the one moving us to "Swampland, but At Least It's Not Florida". I won't say what industry, but... let's say that maybe 5-10% of all USA-ians are customers of his customers. (For non-USA-ians, that's a few million people -- say a large city, scattered across 3.1 million square miles or 8 million km^2.)
My hopefully-eventually-commercial app is progressing... slowly... but I've come up with a few algorithms that I'm considering patenting. Or maybe I'll just open source them, who knows? I'd like some money, but honestly, my goal of "lunch money, not rent money" seems like a pipe dream at this point. I'll probably at least trademark the names I came up with because frankly I think they're hilarious.
And that's it for this update to "Chaos Wrapped in Freedom, Seasoned with Fast Food". Next time I'll probably be moving to the moon.
