I've studied Math, Physics and Electrical Engineering. I've been known to dabble in fiction writing and photography. Thinking of writing a blog about Time. …85k1dwxwe7zgsdpp6unp2uf.wordpress.com/bghwcyleu7xz03… Right Behind You. Don't Look. Joined December 2012

@Cork_WeatherBot I would almost never choose to stick one photo in front of another. It tends to be bad design, almost inescapably a tacky look, but that's the look that was forced on us by a company that didn't care what its users thought. With my hands half-tired tied, I will do my best.

@Cork_WeatherBot As Krusty the Clown would have said, it wasn't just good, it was good enough. No, not really happy with the look I got, but if some admin wants to be a pain, I'm not going to let his choices make me crazy. Am I being paid to work around them or am I just volunteering?

@Cork_WeatherBot There's a limit to how much anybody should be asking out of a volunteer, the volunteer, himself, included.

(Groan) read: "I just changed my display name from the rather generic (and soon to be not quite completely descriptive) 'Clocks' ... " Remember when Elon said we'd be able to edit our tweets? Without saying that only the premium members would be able to do that? I do. Does he?

Am I really on the verge of posting about the Physics I've been reading about, on a site filled with people who aren't up to the mental challenge of understanding what Mardis Gras beads are for? That doesn't sound promising, does it?

Have I been grossly overestimating the average IQ on Twitter / X? Take a good look at the pathetic attempt to snow his audience that we just saw out of @GrateScotty and then see the number of followers he has. Is THAT what sells on this site? Confident d o r k i s h n e s s ?

Bidding a fond farewell to the old bio "Updates for the Clocks and Timepieces group. The profile and header images on this page are details of a picture in the public domain." Wondering if the new one will be a sign of excessive optimism on my part.

You had me until you said "Bourbon Street." It's going to leave visitors with a false (and often unflattering) image of the city. Definitely not a place I'd want to take the family. It can be fun, but in a very crude sort of way. It wasn't my favorite or even close to it.

@Cork_WeatherBot This is what my profile looks like, as I write this. Sad, isn't it? I took a decent photo and ruined it by sticking it in front of itself. I post this record of my aesthetic shame, because now that I'm finally back in my account, I can finally fix this.

@Cork_WeatherBot Later today, this look will be gone. I do like to hold onto some memory of the things I create, even the ones that make me wonder what I was thinking about at the time I created them. This is my banner, the one I'm going to replace. Not bad on its own, right?
