A Review of Mindhunter Season 1

I'm watching Mindhunter for the second time. It's a broad stroke of fiction on how the Federal Bureau Of Investigation utilize Psychology and Criminal Behavioral Science in their investigations. As it tells the story of three people pursuing the dark logic behind the criminal mind, the series followed their family histories as well as the real people in their case files. The blending of fiction with the criminal cases as well as the historical background makes the plot tenable. I like the choices of music as well.

It stars Jonathan Groff as Holden Ford, Anna Torv (Wendy) and Holt McCallany as Bill Tench. I remember Anna Torv in the mind bending series Fringe. Holden played by Groff was a hostage negotiator and FBI instructor. Tench was a mid level FBI man who goes on the road helping local sheriff departments on tough cases. Wendy came from the academe. All of them were highly interested in the violent sociopaths of society. Additionally, I want to mention that Cameron Britton is outstanding playing Edmund Kemper, a real life serial killer. Great casting overall.

Mindhunter is not a whodunit. In the series, we know who the serial killers and they did it. If you are interested in a bit more thinking and wanted to know why they did it, this is the Netflix series for you. I highly recommend it. 



Season 2 is ready now.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

2024 So Far

I have a feeling of moving earth or walking off my itchiness. The growing fat in my belly tells me I am failing on many occasions to give in to this urge. My eyes are blurred by morning glory. I remember my father having the same ritual in the morning. After his weak stroke, he couldn't speak much, just a grunt but he would demonstrate with hand how he liked to wash his face. The weather wasn't helping. It's been raining cats and dogs the past week. The province of Rizal was soaked and spilled volumes of water into the bay and Laguna lake. Our Caimito tree was cut to no more than 4 feet from the ground. It was towering above the corrugated sheet metal of our roof. Now it lay horizontal on the yard. I calculated it could be made into a whole table and chairs set by a talented carpenter artist. I showed Lino the two big pieces of trunk that could only be moved if cut by a power saw in place. The road widening project in San Mateo was in the middle stage. One side of the road ...
