The Town of Odyssey

Well, we'll add that to the list of felonies Whit's committed in recent history. On a more serious note, but still disagreeing with you, this discussion has already included the information that the writers had a limited understanding of the tech, in addition to the stories themselves being outdated...

Developers always keep a copy. First of all, you need multiple instances just for practical purposes. The first one was where you write, test, and update it first, and the final one is for real use.

Mr. Whittaker is the kindly grandfather figure to a lot of the children. Eugene is the technical wizard who helps keep infrastructure running. Connie is the emotional heart of the place, along with any of the help that has come and gone over the years. If you were a citizen of Odyssey, what would/co...

I have had several hat phases in my life. I have two baseball caps in rotation right now. Sometimes I wear them when out, and sometimes not. One is the sturdiest and best-constructed ballcap I've ever had, but has a rather silly logo on it. The other is flimsier but a more on-brand logo that I'm wil...

I had wondered about the quick discarding of that pseudo-IS system. I had forgotten about the Muntz situation. That very-trusted employee from the merged business wasn't given a complete diagram. Is it possible that Whit conveyed the idea that he was casually discarding it, and that he will reverse-...

Jesus told the Pharisees that when fasting, don't scrunch up your face to show everyone that you've been sacrificing. It's private information that you're fasting. It's not a state secret or anything, but not something to draw attention to. And yes, it shows the seriousness of Zoe to do that. She ca...

I like kettle corn. It has some unusual flavor/property that makes it more interesting and tasty. In general I don't eat a lot of popcorn though. And unfortunately for one of my relatives who thinks Cracker Jack is a cute and tasty gift, it is not. It's so unlike popcorn that I re-gift it to kids in...

You'd be disappointed to learn about how the vast majority of government contractors operate. Have you ever heard of a development environment? How much security do you think goes on there, in general? I'm more concerned about the unfinished escape room that a child can break into and threaten/endan...

Oh, my. I would consider it unethical to browse the Internet without an ad-blocker. For very conscientious individuals, blocking arbitrary content that might appear would be very appealing if not mandatory for conscience's sake. As a matter of computing, it is dangerous to allow arbitrary advertisem...

This episode broadcast on 2022-02-21 Episode summary Olivia finds that putting together her personal testimony for church is more challenging than she realized. Friends give advice that is both helpful and harmful. My thoughts Olivia starts deconstructing. A little boring, but I'm sure it's relevant...

Do you still listen to AIO?
What do you think should happen in AIO now that the voice actor of Will Ryan has passed away?
If you had to listen to one or the other for 5-10 minutes, would you rather listen to opera or rap?

What's your favorite kind of soda pop or other soft drink?
Did you ever use Myspace?
Have you ever broken a bone? Do you have any interesting stories related to that answer?

As a side conversation, I doubt the average consumers even think much about Microsoft, much less dislike them. I expect more people would like to claim they dislike facebook (for the unpspoken reason that it's now where your grandma goes) because of privacy concerns. And there are projects out there...

Episode summary Olivia Parker and Zoe Grant are excited when money mysteriously shows up for a class ski trip, but Jason Whittaker and Wilson Knox worry that the trip could be connected to a premonition of danger. My thoughts The kids get to go skiing! Whit 3.0 (Wilson: 2.0 was Jack Allen, don'tcha...

When one gets old, he stops caring about the world thinks. This can be good. But when you're the writers of a (hopefully very) public work, that is not so good. Particularly when you're suppose to be representing truth and righteousness, and you have stopped doing so.

Episode summary Jason and Wilson tell Zoe the story of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the author of a famous Christmas carol. It’s a story filled with joy, tragedy, and ultimately truth about God’s role in difficult circumstances. My thoughts A historical story about Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Sounds...

Can you share what specialty of law you focus on, if any? You might have said this already, but this would be for the record. Do you consider Foggy from Daredevil (2015) to be a role model? Do you have a blind law partner? (Or are you blind?) Do you find yourself thinking about your job outside of w...

I did mean the cooking question aliterally. But because I am such a literal person, it makes me happy to know that you chose to answer it literally! I am glad you still visit here on occasion. Four schools? Would you consider that normal? (Perhaps you merely mean like middle school, high school and ...

Let's do this like a business (bleh).

Do you have a rollback plan for your surprise, in case it fails or is unwanted or has unintended side effects?
Do you have sign-off from at least 3 department heads?
Have you filed a change request with the board?

What's cooking back at the homestead?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
How did you get to where you are now?
