George K on home pages

It used to be that one's home page was the one the browser one used first loaded. Now that is one's 'hot list', or 'book mark list'.

<sigh> </sigh> Call this whatever you want. I think of this as a pointless rant. :-)


George K on investing

  1. If you don't understand, don't buy it.
  2. Be careful.
  3. The world is full of liars, thiefs, and idiots.
  4. Invest on Wall Street, gamble in Las Vegas.
    Invest for the intermediate and long term. Gamble for fun.
    If you are not willing to hold the investment for 3 to 5 years, it's speculation. Gamble, speculate, do whatever you want. But, it helps if you know the which is which.
  5. Buy low, sell high.
    It is the last and least important of the 4 rules. Unfortunately towards the end of every bull market a disquieting number of people seem to be quite intent on doing the opposite.

Oh yeah, you might want to take a look at the NAIC and AAII pages.


George K on Computer Mediated Communication

Most people think that since modern technology makes it easy to say things, in a way that can be seen world wide, well nearly, that means they have to say a great deal. Me, I'm too busy listening to do more than this.

Oh yeah, I haven't seen but 2 (two) graphics that added meaning to the work. They were both in physics pre-prints.

Finger afn40145@afn.org to learn more. Be warned, you don't want to waste your time. I'm basically a boring person who has said all I want here.

I was never as good as (the probably mythological) Mel, but I remember the days when a real programmer thought in hexadecimal and milliseconds (Actually a millisecond was !!metaphorically!! as important as a microsecond is these days; but, remember children, they add up really quickly.)
