Matt, Me and Ronnie
The image by itself tells a story all on its on, but I felt since I wasn't going to do a full entry that I should say a little something. First of all I believe this photo was taken David Melito, who had the curious name of Spike in college, due to the fact that he was a media/film major. I had participated in a few of his film projects during this time.
Now Matt or Matthew and I parted friendship I think sometimes around the early aughts, due to some fallout from Adam but primarily because it was overdue in its own right. As shown here Matt was a bit more into me than I was him, and it manifested itself as him being a bit of a fan. Yes a fan, more appropriately fanatic.
During this time period I had a database of my sexual partners in FileMaker Pro, I sometimes included photos and totally had fuller descriptions of each partner and the activity we participated in. Matt knew my partners better than me, and I think he even recalled their number on the list, he may have had an eidetic memory, it was flattering but also a bit creepy. The final straw came after my fire in ninety-eight and I stayed with him in his parents home a couple of blocks away till my apartment was suitable to move back into.
Smothering would be an understatement, it seemed like his dream of having me to himself full-time was realized and it became untenable for me. I moved to the YMCA that used to be on twenty-third street to finish out the time of the renovation of my apartment. Our friendship waned and soon ended there after.
I don't want to absolve myself of any culpability here, as I have said when I talk about this time period I had a tendency towards very codependent relationships with friends that always traipsed into unhealthy emotional boundaries. But Matt seemed near obsessive about me and albeit I enjoyed the attention it never quite seemed right. I was the ish, but I wasn't all of that.
Now, damn it, this wasn't supposed to be a missive about Matt and me, Ronnie is also in the photo on the right. Now I had a thing for Ronnie following my trend of liking unclockable guys, not something I would overtly acknowledge until years later. But Ronnie wasn't giving me the time of day. Like David who took the photo. I never had even a taste of impropriety with either of them, and trust I tried repeatedly.
Of course this only made me desire Ronnie more. In college I was the flavor of the week every week and I partook of all the bounties of this position in an unshackled fervor. I always have a special eye for the ones who got away.
I am not sure where we are on campus here. It looks like a party. I am trying to recall where on campus had unfinished brick walls. Maybe the garden apartments at the South of campus? It all looks so casual I can't see this happening in any official campus location. I also don't have any shoes on, which means I was comfortable enough to go around in my socked feet. It would be years before I felt comfortable enough to walk around totally bare-footed.
I sent David an email asking if he had a newer scan of this photo, maybe he will have more background and context. But these are the few things that I remember. Otherwise I look great, I don't think I still own one stitch of clothing I had in this shot, but I did have a bit clothing loss in ninety-two and again in ninety-eight. But I can confidently say I don't even have that Swatch anymore, albeit it might be in a box somewhere in this house waiting to be found again.
College was an interesting time for me, I wasn't quite prepared for the experience especially the class difference between my peers and me, and I totally wasn't expecting to end up homeless and having to leave after three semesters. Albeit I did make connections that followed me for decades as you're supposed to do, I just think I would have done even better if I was prepared for what college was really about, and since no one in my household had been they couldn't manage my expectation around how to navigate this very interesting time in young adulthood.

There are some important things to know about the next section of this story.
It is gross. Very very gross, very unsanitary, read at your own risk.
John was a fully adult middle aged man, maybe in his mid to late fifties; he was not an older person possibly dealing with dementia, he was not a young person in his first job with zero idea of how to behave in an office environment (or just, like, the world in general. What the fuck.).
John had worked at the company for ten years.
The company was hiring because John was fucking up. He wasn't doing his work, when it was getting done it was getting done badly, and it was costing us customers. But Gary, the owner, has always been a coward about replacing people, so I was interviewed in the very specific time that John took his lunch every day. I don't think the interview went particularly well, but John was REALLY fucking up and B2B vouched for me as at least someone who had no history of significantly fucking the company over and therefore a measurably better employee than John. I got the call back about the job before I'd even made it home.
So on the fifteenth of the month (which gives Gary the opportunity to fire John on a Friday afternoon and hand him his last check) I show up for my first day of Business Work in my cute little knee length skirt with my cute little button-up shirt and my cute little purple peacoat because I am an Adult and I am going to be a Business Lady, or something in that approximate neighborhood. I am going to be assisting and executing. I am going to be administrating and office managing. The coffee pot is going to be clean, the paperwork is going to be done, and my email will find you no matter how far you run.
(I am clueless).
I spend the first few hours familiarizing myself with the programs I lied about being proficient in in the interview and learning how to navigate Filemaker Pro 7 (released in 2005, the year is 2011, we will continue using this program without upgrades or changes until 2018). I also start emptying the desk drawers of all the stuff that John didn't take when he left and begin an inventory of the parts cabinet. At some point, I am sitting in my secretarial cubicle at my enormous L-shaped desk and I am emptying drawers on the far right hand side. I finish emptying the drawer into the trashcan and instead of pushing my wheely office chair back to my keyboard, I grab the edge of the desk and pull myself back into place.
There is something sharp and abrasive under the desk, which I've felt a few times scraping over my knees as I move my legs, or have touched in passing as I reached for the trash can. I lean down to look under the desk, to see if maybe there are splinters that are chipping off or hardware left over from a keyboard tray or something.
That's not it.
At first, I'm not sure what I'm seeing. Is it mold? Is it some very, very weird pattern in the particleboard across both legs of the L-shaped desk? It's hard to see because it's dark under the desk, so I get the flashlight out of my purse.
It's not mold.
It's boogers.
I'm sitting on the floor of my brand new shiny office lady job looking up at approximately twelve square feet of snot stalactites that have been smeared on the bottom of the desk for the last ten years.
John was apparently a nose-picker, and he decided to share that with me.
I stare in abject horror for probably thirty seconds, then stand up and go to the bathroom and wash my hands very, very well, and then I walk to B2B's office.
"Hey man," I say.
"Hey," he says back. "How's the first day so far?" (He has asked me this every twenty minutes and I deeply appreciate it - working with him is great until he unceremoniously abandons me for a good job three years later. We are still friends - in the malicious compliance con story he was the person sneaking stickers all over the place).
"Um," I say, "I need you to come look at something because I want to make sure that I'm not crazy."
"Well, that's not ominous," he says and follows me back to my office. I hand him my flashlight and direct him behind the cubicle. "Do you see anything weird with the under-side of the desk?"
He crouches down on the floor, angles the flashlight up, and frowns. Then frowns harder. Then leans a bit closer. Then shouts "WHAT THE FUCK?"
Two technicians come running.
"What's wrong?" Tech one asks.
"That motherfucker has been sticking boogers to his desk for ten fucking years!"
"What?" Tech two exclaims, and they each take their time with the flashlight to look up at my desk and marvel in horror.
We stand around in contemplative shock when everyone has had a chance to observe Mount Mucus.
"Could he have done this after he got fired?"
"That was on Friday, man, you can't make that much snot in a few hours."
"He literally kept tissues on his desk what the fuck was he doing?"
"I don't know! What the fuck, do we have to check the cars?"
"Can any of you tell me if we have any bleach?" I ask.
"Uh, yeah, there's some cleaning supplies in the server room," B2B says. "Why?"
Well, because nobody else was going to clean it up.
So I spent the last two hours of my first day at work spraying windex (we didn't have bleach) at snot central to allow the accumulated mucus to soften then scraping it off with paper towels.
It wasn't really assisting anyone, but there sure was somebody I was in the mood to execute. And to be fair, that is the biggest middle finger he could have possibly given to the job that had fired him so unceremoniously.
Actually, I've told the story about how I got the job at the coffee shop by handling a dead body - did I tell you that I got this job because someone at the hacker meetup put together a powerpoint about how much he fucking hated his coworker?

TELEVISION SHOW MANAGER SOFTWARE - A FILEMAKER & .NET SOLUTION
Executive Summary
Mindfire Solutions delivered key software systems for building Live TV shows for a retail shopping TV network. The primary business objective of the complete software was to facilitate multiple different operations (activities and communications) to air a show successfully on Live TV. Mindfire played its part in building systems for Run-up and Run-down operations, integrating them with Show Planning, Production Outline Items, Media Server, and Rundown Live Server. This Desktop and Web enabled system includes services like data-synchronization between multiple databases using ODBC connections, multiple-user setup, Active Directory login services, and printing/emailing of reports.
About Our Client
Client: Confidential
Location: USA
Industry: Media & Entertainment
Business Situation
The client firm’s customer, a Retail Shopping TV Network company, didn’t have a single software solution for Run-up or Run-down show-production processes. They were incredibly manual in how they managed their Show Production process. As a result, they were extremely dependent on emails and phone calls to send requests, to receive request updates, and to communicate status of multiple aspects. They operated in a highly volatile work environment, but with ineffective infrastructure. Overwhelmed by the situation, the customer certainly needed a solution to manage their workflows for close to 9000 shows they were to produce each year.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Encryption at Rest (EAR) in FileMaker
Security plays a vital role in any software application. Most of the time, standard approaches, like Startup login, encryption of password, etc., are followed. 'Manage Security' section of FileMaker provides different types of settings to manage various levels of access as well as privileges to the logged-in user.
Encryption at Rest goes beyond this by providing security to the FileMaker file when it is physically stored on a disk. Encrypting a database provides additional security to your FileMaker application.
What you need?
To encrypt one or more database files in FileMaker, you will need:
FileMaker account with [Full Access] privilege
Encryption Password
A shared ID
Steps to follow:
To encrypt a database, you should have the required FileMaker files stored locally. If the files are hosted on the server, you will need to unhost them, perform EAR, and then host again.
In FileMaker Pro client, go to menu 'Tools >> Developer utilities'.
Add the files you need to perform encryption on. In the case of a multi-file solution, add all the required files.
Specify one of the files as Primary.
Select the Project folder, where you would like to place the encrypted files after EAR is completed.
Under Specify Solutions options, select the 'Enable Database Encryption' option.
This will automatically select the option above 'Create Error log for any processing errors'. This log is important (but optional) since it creates a log file in the EAR folder. This file will let us know if the encryption was successful or if there were any errors. In the case of multiple files, the encryption status of each file is logged.
Specify a Shared ID; it links multiple encrypted files.
Specify a FileMaker Account with [Full Access] privilege. This will be for the Primary file specified above. If the other files have different [Full Access] password, then it will be prompted during the EAR process.
For the files, which are linked with each other via 'External data Source' and have different [Full Access] credentials, the login may be prompted more than one time for the same file.
Specify the encryption password. In case of multiple files, if the files' encryption passwords and shared IDs match, the user will not be prompted again for the encryption password. Enter a password hint, if needed.
The option 'Keep 'Open Storage' is checked if you do not want the container field data to be encrypted.
Click 'OK' to start the encryption
After EAR completion:
After the EAR process is completed, check the log file for encryption status.
In the case of external storage container, the EAR process will create the same folder structure for each file. Container data will be encrypted/not encrypted depending on the EAR option specified above.
Users will be prompted for encryption password when opening the files via FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Go locally.
When the files are hosted on the FileMaker Server or FileMaker Cloud, users will be prompted for the encryption password before hosting. This password can be saved to automatically open encrypted files when the server restarts.
IMPORTANT When performing EAR on hosted files, copy the hosted files and related remote container folders locally where you would be performing the EAR. The remote container data is stored under ‘RC_Data_FMS’ folder under databases folder on server. In this ‘RC_Data_FMS’ folder, there is separate folder for each database that is hosted on the server. When copying remote container folders for EAR, you need to copy the folder which is inside each database folder to your local folder. If this is not done properly, it will result in container data not encrypting and also will show errors in the log file, especially when you are working with secured storage.
Remove Database encryption:
You can remove database encryption applied to a file or a set of files. It is a similar process as that of encryption.
Under 'Tools >> Developer Utilities', add the files you want to remove encryption from, select 'Remove Database Encryption' option. You will need the Encryption password and [Full Access] login details of the FileMaker files.
Encryption at Rest is an essential aspect of data security in FileMaker. By following the above steps, you can encrypt your FileMaker database to provide an additional layer of security. If you have any doubts or need assistance, reach out to the team of experienced and certified FileMaker experts at MetaSys Software, your custom software development company.

How Does a Direct Mail API Work?
Direct mail API integrations automate the process of sending direct mail to customers based on specific triggers and events. This eliminates manual processes that are often time consuming, expensive and prone to error.
Whether you are nurturing leads in the sales funnel or re-engaging a customer after an abandoned cart, automated workflows enable you to deliver targeted, relevant follow up campaigns that increase engagement and ultimately drive conversions. The best way to achieve this level of automation is by connecting your CRM, ecommerce or marketing platform with a direct mail API. This allows you to automatically send personalized postcards and letters to your audience based on the actions they take.
Postcard automation APIs also reduce the risk of human error by removing the need for duplicate checking and data entry. This ensures that your postcard or letter is delivered to the right person, every time. Some APIs also offer additional services such as postal certification, address verification, EDDM presort and mailing list creation, all of which can improve the accuracy of your mailings and help you save money on postage rates.
When choosing a direct mail API, look for one that offers a user-friendly interface and is easy to integrate into your existing web app or CRM. Look for a provider that can quickly import your contacts and sync with other apps, such as Daylite, Google Sheets or FileMaker Pro. You should also be able to easily create and customize your postcards or letters with a drag-and-drop template builder. For example, Inkit offers a plug-and-play dashboard that makes it easy for marketers or designers to build and finalize postcards in minutes.

SXSW 2023: Problemista Highlights The Problems Of Immigration
SYNOPSIS: Alejandro (Torres) is an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador, struggling to bring his unusual ideas to life in New York City. As time on his work visa runs out, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast (Swinton) becomes his only hope to stay in the country and realize his dream. From writer/director Julio Torres comes a surreal adventure through the equally treacherous worlds of New York City and the U.S. Immigration system. Problemista is an acquired taste. You have to be ready to enter into the surreal when watching this movie. After you get your mind right and get ready to ingest you'll find a psychedelic delicacy of cinema. There's a glaring criticism and observation of the American Immigration system, banking, and FileMaker Pro. Problemista doesn't stop there as it also finds time to take potshots at the American banking system and more. Our protagonist, Alejandro, works at a company that cryogenically freezes individuals in hopes that they can awaken in the future. Alejandro specifically maintains the cryogenic system for Bobby Asencio (RZA), the husband of Elizabeth (Tilda Swinton). Alejandro's real dream is to become a toymaker working for toy manufacturer Hasbro. Alejandro's quirkiness is obvious upon first site of his toy designs including a THE GOOD Writer/Director Julio Torres stars in the movie as Alejandro, who is an immigrant in the U.S. Did I mention that this movie is a comedy? The laughs come fast and hard as we first meet the quirky Alejandro who nails it with physical humor. There's something about the timing and delivery in Torres' performance that just forces you to chuckle. Whether it's Alejandro's laid back chill attitude, his bouncy walk, or his clean hairstyle with obtuse 1 hair standing out like Alfalfa, there's a lot to absorb in this character. Tilda Swinton plays Elizabeth, the wife of Bobby Ascencio (RZA), and is definitely not a Karen. Torres finds a unique way to highlight sensitive topics but tiptoes around being too offensive to anyone who may be sensitive to this sort of criticism. Tilda Swinton absolutely overshadows everyone as Elizabeth and delivers yet another outstanding performance. Elizabeth is an eccentric woman who has the ability to always get what she wants. Her secret? In order to get what you need from others you have to make yourself a problem for them. That persistence will force them to kowtow to her asks. It's an incredible thing to watch and may trigger some viewers. The story can be eye-opening to observe, and Torres helps share the perception of a white woman who can push others to do what she wants just by badgering them incessantly. Problemista makes a habit of pointing out the absurdity of various systems in the U.S. There's a commentary on immigration but the movie also points out the predatory practices of large banks. I now know I am not the only person who, in the past, did everything in my power to get a bank employee to admit the predatory practices of some banks. There's a moment when Alejandro realizes his bank account has been overdrawn and is in the negative by several hundred dollars due to a bank overdraft fee. If you try to buy a $7.00 sandwich but only have $6.99 in your account, the transaction will approve but you will be charged $35 as a penalty for over-drafting an account. rather than declining the transaction, some banks will do this to make money by charging an outrageous penalty fee putting cash-strapped individuals in a precarious situation. THE BAD Problemista can be overindulgent in absurdity. There are times when the movie attempts to be visually artistic for the sake of being artistic but stands out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the visuals. There's a moment where Alejandro illustrates the need for money to apply for a work visa without being able to legally work to earn the money to pay for a work visa. This is shown as Alejandro climbs through the equivalent of a rat maze turned Tetris block. Scenes like this can be disruptive to the immersion of the story in an attempt of being expressive. There are other scenes that disrupt the flow of the movie like Alejandro's forays into Craigslist work. These scenes are here to shock non-immigrants into awareness of what life is like in America for immigrants but the shock isn't as serving as intended. The casting in Problemista is borderline absurd but in that, you find the humor in the seriousness of the topic. most will agree that RZA and Larry Owens' casting makes no sense. But the absurdity is a reflection and commentary on the absurdity of things found in the United States. RZA's presence in the movie is hilarious and I can't help but enjoy every moment he's on screen. I feel as though RZA could have had more screen time and could have done more to adjust his performance to sound more aristocratic. The chemistry between RZA and Tilda, in their few scenes together, is carried by Swinton being a friggin chameleon and adjusting her character of Elizabeth to accommodate Bobby. OVERALL Fans of Julio Torres will love Prolemista. Fans of quirky comedy and dry humor will love Problemista. Heck, fans of Wes Anderson movies will find a visual delight in Problemista. Viewers who don't like any of these things will have a hard time with this movie. I find the absurdity hilarious and a great first outing for Torres. Tilda Swinton provides an audacious performance as Elizabeth and will live rent-free in my brain as this character for some time. I will recommend this film to many, but not all.
