Re: Boring Rip-off Frigging Town by James Pate Williams, Jr., BA, BS, MSwE, PhD

I just walked by Country’s Barbecue Restaurant to find out for the second day that business has no coffee to sell. It seems like their order of coffee went to Country’s in Columbus, Georgia. I also went by my friend’s art gallery:

Wes and Bob Godfrey were talking so I meandered on down to the Main Street Pub to waste money on a glass of orange juice. When am I going to learn you can’t meet potential new friends at an art gallery or a local alcoholics dive? I wish I had a female companion but:

I do have several missing items such as three guitars, two cameras, two cellphones, and a Vizio television, etc. which according to my sister Susan Williams Harrison were pawned for her addictions by my former roommate etc. Cyndi(a) Darlene Burks-Burden.

Thanks,

Pate

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.
