Wrong Place and Errant Time by James Pate Williams, Jr., BA, BS, MSwE, PhD

I went out tonight at approximately 10:00 PM (22:00:00). I walked down and into the Main Street Pub:

but due to my ever-pervasive agoraphobic and current sanity, I sauntered in and out of the crowded bar. On Tuesday and Wednesday night I entered that bar safely and exited without having caused a disturbance. I had one bottled Blue Moon Belgian White Wheat Ale on both Tuesday and Wednesday nights at a hefty $8.00 for two ales plus $2.00 tip for each night. I don’t have a good lifetime experience with bars since I am a verbally belligerent drunk and bars are not an appropriate place to meet people. As usual when I become vocally abusive, I either get thrown into a psychiatric or jail milieu or physically beaten up by a drunken bully.

Since I have ruled out my church and other churches, certain restaurants and coffee houses, mental asylums and treatment centers, and jail as good places to meet people, I have no place to find friends and/or lovers. This town is a hellish environment for single people. Ageism, false chivalry, and sexism are rampant in my beloved LaGrange, Georgia and mostly the rest of My Country Tis of Thee, no longer the Sweet Land of Liberty, but still the greatest country on this biosphere. Workplaces, if ever can be found, are also off limits due to ethics for forming lasting non-work relationships.

My whole legal name is James Pate Williams, Jr. I was born in LaGrange, Georgia approximately 70 years ago. I barely graduated from LaGrange High School with low marks in June 1971. Later in June 1979, I graduated from LaGrange College with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with a little over a 3 out 4 Grade Point Average (GPA). In the Spring Quarter of 1978, I taught myself how to program a Texas Instruments desktop programmable calculator and in the Summer Quarter of 1978 I taught myself Dayton BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) on LaGrange College's Data General Eclipse minicomputer. I took courses in BASIC in the Fall Quarter of 1978 and FORTRAN IV (Formula Translator IV) in the Winter Quarter of 1979. Professor Kenneth Cooper, a genius poly-scientist taught me a course in the Intel 8085 microprocessor architecture and assembly and machine language. We would hand assemble our programs and insert the resulting machine code into our crude wooden box computer which was designed and built by Professor Cooper. From 1990 to 1994 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from LaGrange College. I had a 4 out of 4 GPA in the period 1990 to 1994. I took courses in C, COBOL, and Pascal during my BS work. After graduating from LaGrange College a second time in May 1994, I taught myself C++. In December 1995, I started using the Internet and taught myself client-server programming. I created a website in 1997 which had C and C# implementations of algorithms from the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Alfred J. Menezes, et. al., and some other cryptography and number theory textbooks and treatises.
