I woke up at about 8:30 PM or so, looked at my email and called a client to see how to act on a business issue. We wound up talking far too long about confidential information I have no need to know. Anyway, after the conversation I went and worked out for a little over 30 minutes at Planet Fitness. I then came home changed pants and proceeded to the Main Street Pub. There I purchased a Blue Moon with orange slice which was $5.25 with generous tip. I need to stay out of bars, but I did get a buzz from one beer due to my daytime medication. On the way home I tried to get a dollar changed to four quarters to buy a Troup County News, but Summit on Greenwood Street was locked down due to a timid cashier. There have been robberies in the area so I can’t blame the employee’s caution. I was home before 12:15 AM on Friday, January 10, 2020. I am going to wait a while before taking my nighttime medication of a 25 mg generic Vistaril and 50 mg Trazadone.

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.
