So all you bored TUSCLers put your thinking caps on
TFP & others with experience in the vast collective hive of companies and services that feed and support the Internet and the devices we use to connect -- from corporate IT dept to ISPs etc
So all you bored TUSCLers put your thinking caps on
I assume SJG works somewhere in that vast support network. Where could that be?
That's beyond my area of expertise. Calling all TUSCL IT/system engineers etc
Parameters: [to my knowledge]
SJG generally posts between 11am and 5pm PT. But he's sometimes posted past 5pm PT but not beyond 7pm PT.
Sometimes he's only started posting after Noon or even 1pm PT
There's always been a weekly cycle. I can't remember him ever posting something SEVEN days in a row.
When he first stated posting [ mid 2014] it was strictly M-F.
Then he began posting on SAT but with one weekday where he didn't post at all.
Occasionally, he's posted on both SAT and SUN though again with at least one weekday skipped and maybe a shorter posting time on another day.
Collectively, you guys know more about the positions available in this vast structure than I do.
Part-time / full time
Employee / independent contractor
self-employed in own company
shift work
office job / mobile worker / on-call
I'm sure there are other possibilities.
Where does/did he live?
Recently he commented on posts about door-to-door solicitation. In them he mentions opening his front door to them. Also a front yard --posting signs? Threatening to call the police. etc
IF YOU BELIEVE SJG's posts accurately reflects his author's situation, where might he live. It doesn't have to be in San Jose or even Santa Clara Co, author just has to be very familiar with them for authenticity.
Lloyd Schoene - SJG's author can just as easily as another TUSCL member have googled san jose guy and found poor Lloyd's Linked-In page, then used the moniker on TUSCL anyway. A cover if someone else googled it. Paranoid individuals can be very sneaky & devious; it's okay to do this to protect yourself from your enemies
Consider whether SJG's author left his home for "safer" rural digs before lockdown and he doesn't have his elaborate computer protections available.
Maybe he was hospitalized, not necessarily COVID-related. Just because you're a troll and psychologically disordered doesn't exempt you from serious medical disorders.
Some ideas already mentioned are worth keeping on the TUSCL 'whiteboard' We're brainstorming not writing the definitive explanation. After all, he COULD BE a homeless divorced man whose life was ruined by his marriage. Props to SLD then. But Insufficient info to say it must be so.
