This is a list of all installments of "The Adventures of
|
||
|
|
Lone Wolf Scientific" and when they first appeared--as well
|
||
|
|
as sneak previews of future installments:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I -- "The Computer Genius Goes to Work" -- The worst thing
|
||
|
|
that can happen to a globe-trotting computer genius is
|
||
|
|
gainful employment. From a curb outside an artificial
|
||
|
|
intelligence company, computer genius S-max contemplates the
|
||
|
|
wreckage of his employment history. He desperately hopes
|
||
|
|
the rescue mission is properly wired for his needs.
|
||
|
|
(1.21.91)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
II -- "The Second Renaissance of Space Exploration
|
||
|
|
Technology and What Happened to It" -- Bashful boychild
|
||
|
|
software engineer Andrew.BAS stumbles unwittingly
|
||
|
|
into the neurosis and smashed dreams of the military-
|
||
|
|
industrial complex. Within days he loses his soul while
|
||
|
|
waiting for a government security clearance. (2.4.91)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
III -- "When Men of Destiny Meet" -- Robbed of the last
|
||
|
|
vestiges of his engineering school idealism, the dimpled
|
||
|
|
young software engineer's spirits improve when he befriends
|
||
|
|
another man who also failed to get a job on the space
|
||
|
|
shuttle. (2.18.91)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IV -- "Welcome to The People's Republic of Engineering --
|
||
|
|
Abandon Hope Ye Who Enter Here" -- Andrew.BAS, the kid
|
||
|
|
computer programmer who looks like the kind of computer
|
||
|
|
programmer Norman Rockwell would have drawn, is horrified to
|
||
|
|
learn that he will be writing batch files to aim nuclear
|
||
|
|
missiles. Meanwhile, his new officemate gets into a snit
|
||
|
|
with their boss over anti-static boot mats. (3.4.91)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
V -- "Bad Days Befall The People's Republic of Engineering"
|
||
|
|
-- Super engineer-manager Gus Farwick contemplates his
|
||
|
|
newest problem employee and formulates ways to keep him
|
||
|
|
safely in his office. (3.18.91)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
VI -- "A Day in the Life of Two Defense Workers" -- S-max
|
||
|
|
and Andrew.BAS struggle to adjust to their new lives
|
||
|
|
as defense contractor workers. When the computer builder
|
||
|
|
tires of his responsibilities keeping track of "super-string
|
||
|
|
defense links," he convinces his officemate that they should
|
||
|
|
design a closet-sized replica of NASA's Mission Control.
|
||
|
|
(4.1.91)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
VII -- "The House Guest with 172 Soldering Irons" --
|
||
|
|
Andrew.BAS naively offers his homeless officemate a place to
|
||
|
|
sleep. He and S-max are barely out of the company parking
|
||
|
|
garage when the generous-to-a-fault programmer begins to
|
||
|
|
regret his offer of hospitality. (4.15.91)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
VIII -- "The House Where Andrew.BAS Lived" -- The home of a
|
||
|
|
computer programmer is always a special place. It's where
|
||
|
|
free and perfect cerebral sensibility clash with a complete
|
||
|
|
ineptitude with tangible things. Andrew.BAS's house is no
|
||
|
|
exception. Overbearing houseguest S-max decides that, even
|
||
|
|
though it's nowhere near a Radio Shack, it's an ideal
|
||
|
|
place to inhabit indefinitely. (4.29.91)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IX -- "The Ghost of Alan Turing" -- Monkish assembly
|
||
|
|
language wizard Austin Jellowack is pestered by an unwelcome
|
||
|
|
pal from a higher programming realm. (5.15.91)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
X -- (UPCOMING 5.27.91) -- "Tense Moments In Mission
|
||
|
|
Control" -- A nerve-wracking morning at military contractor
|
||
|
|
Dingready & Derringdo Aerospace is made even more tense
|
||
|
|
by a visit from boss Gus Farwick. With notes and camera in
|
||
|
|
hand, the conniving head of engineering compiles
|
||
|
|
documentation to terminate the employment of his two most
|
||
|
|
troublesome employees.
