Vault was defeated in court trying to defend their product. In my opinion the media error might not be considered software. View the Wikipedia page explaining the case. Vault Corporation’s legal suit
Correlative To Painting
After some thought, I now believe the painting, 46605 by Jeff Devitt is a good faith iteration of one of Vault’s security disks; complete with the creation of the track error.
Also very noteworthy, University of California at Santa Cruz seems to be a magnet for embezzlers.
Stole From The Company
Now that you know about Vault Corporation and the PROLOK security probuct, I need to confess that while their employee, I stole some blank disks. The blanks were delivered to me and I manufactured the disks to have the spot removed from the media. After the fingerprinting, they were then formatted and loaded with software. About a hundred disks didn’t make it through. I took them home and used them with my Commodore 64 computer.

EAP
An employee assistance programs (EAP) is an employee benefit programs offered by many employers. EAPs are intended to help employees deal with personal problems that might adversely impact their job performance, health, and well-being. EAPs generally include short-term counseling and referral services for employees and their household members. Supervisors may also refer employees (supervisor referral) based upon unacceptable performance or conduct issues.
Michael Heizer’s Rock at LACMA
To look at this sculpture correctly you need to imagine that the groove is a track on a 5.25 inch floppy disk for a computer, and that there is a colossal error on it. This is the basic concept in making a particular software disk; one that would refer to the error as itself. Without the particular error, the disk would be considered a copy.
Olmec
You don’t need to see this picture because the Guinea Worm is practically extinct. The picture is from the Wikipedia page: Dracunculiasis I have included it because it looks as if the body is cooperating.
Just looking at the shapes, I have made up the following terms. There is an old post that organizes the “olmec” and “alltrac” called Hemingway
Reading the Menu
Going out to dinner is usually fun. The not so obvious part of dinning is reading the menu. For that you will need your reading glasses. This is just a reminder to bring your reading glasses to the restaurant. Thank you.
Stigma
I’m feeling self conscious about the following Blog post. I know that I have readers and they are not always staff. I think that admitting that I have a mental illness is a shock to readers who are not staff. I’m sorry; this might be a disconnect. The truth that I have been talking about mental illness the whole time is apparent to readers that have been with me for a while. There are lots of posts that deal with the “conscience” going back several years in Gevluef. Considering that you are a new reader, I apologize. There is a lot of awareness of mental illnesses in our communities; and that you are here, I am certain I completely understand the schizophrenia and schizo-affective mental illnesses. You are in good hands because in this Blog I explicitly tell the readers what exactly these are.
There is over three hundred fifty posts in Gevluef. I have accomplished much. I don’t want to lose a reader just because I have felt the need to distinguish myself from schizophrenia. It feels as if I am writing without a history. That’s not right; I have said enough for anyone to understand mental illness. If you don’t care about it, then resolve that you have had a chance to learn what exactly mental illness is.
Please have patience. This is a difficult subject. I have had some major changes recently. I am adjusting to a new circumstance. Though I am not feeling the historical perspective of Gevluef, I know that my ideas are good ones. It just takes time for the ideas to sink in.

Aetna Springs
I was in Pope Valley in the early seventies. My father purchased a Winery there: Pope Valley Winery. Then when we moved to the Conejo Valley I visited the winery during the summers. It was one of those summers that I learned about Aetna Springs. The most interesting part about Aetna Springs is that President Ronald Reagan visited that very place. I know that Ronald Reagan knew about me; even liked me because our mental illnesses are the same. The Aetna Springs Golf Course was the thing he tried to remember. He would say after remembering the word Aetna, “oh yeah, Aetna Springs; that’s right.”
Just a little bit more about President Reagan. The commonly held view among the experts of his condition as a service is that he wants to be cremated. The fact about this view is wrong. He is really doing just fine at his library in Simi Valley. The reason people think that is because he is the associated person for Cathy James. That is her maiden name. After she got married it became Cathy and Hank. I pray often that he is okay. I believe that he was the greatest president this country has ever had.
