This is a gigantic shout-out to my friends at the Troup County Jail and Pathways Center Second Season. First, we dispense with my 127 days in Pathways Center Second Season. Thanks to Merry B. I wound back in jail so I could be released around Thanksgiving. Here is to the crew at Pathways Center Second Season: Merry B., Tameka (sp?), Malaysia (sp?), Shelana (sp?) Welch, Lunar (sp?), David Cohen, Alfonzo Sample, Ronald James Bonner, Jr., Parish, Antionette, Victor, Matthew (Matt) Riding, Randy, James Winfred Henry, etc. Now for 72 to 75 days in jail first in Booking 704 and then in Booking 703. I want to congratulate Sergeant S. Barnes, Sergeant Webb, Sergeant Calhoun, Officer Holcomb, head nurse Susie, etc. for keeping me safe and sort of skinny relative to my current weight. I still owe Sergeant S. Barnes $7.00 USD for cab-fare on Tuesday, November 26, 2019.

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.
