Ramrod Page #5

Synopsis: A cattle-vs.-sheepman feud loses Connie Dickason her fiance, but gains her his ranch, which she determines to run alone in opposition to Frank Ivey, "boss" of the valley, whom her father Ben wanted her to marry. She hires recovering alcoholic Dave Nash as foreman and a crew of Ivey's enemies. Ivey fights back with violence and destruction, but Dave is determined to counter him legally... a feeling not shared by his associates. Connie's boast that, as a woman, she doesn't need guns proves justified, but plenty of gunplay results.

Get him a fresh horse.

-Right away, Mr. Dickason.

Ivey shouldn't have got

Bill Schell that way.

How?

A shotgun in the back.

Dave...

Ms. Connie isn't blaming me, is she?

I haven't told a soul. Not

even Mr. Dickason.

Tired, son? You'll have to talk plainly.

Ivey didn't find out from me.

Maybe Bill Schell told him.

Told him what?

Don't treat me like I was

four years old.

When I told Ms. Connie I seen it,

she admitted giving the orders.

Orders for what, Link?

For her own men to stampede

her cattle out of the country.

Listen, Frank. We've been riding for

two nights. We're all dead for sleep.

Go get some.

Keep out of this.

You gotta get awful close with that.

But you won't.

Dave!

I'm alright.

It might have been you lying there.

But it isn't.

-No.

This is the way it was meant to be.

It's all over now.

You've got what you wanted.

-What we wanted!

You and I.

All this is ours now for

the rest of our lives.

Don't you see what we've won, Dave?

Can't you hear what I'm saying?

I'm thinking of Jim Crew and Bill Schell.

That couldn't be helped.

Link told me about the stampede.

Would it make any difference

if I said I was sorry?

Terribly sorry.

Funny how people fall back

on those words. "I'm sorry".

What counts now is our happiness.

Our freedom. The way we want to live.

Not we, Connie.

Just you. Alone.

But we don't want it alone.

So you don't want it alone?

I guess that squares everything.

Dave...

It sure is a pretty dress.

You like it?

Yeah.

Would it do for a wedding dress?

Jack Moffitt is a computer scientist, software developer and entrepreneur, living in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. He is co-author of the GNU GPL licensed streaming media server Icecast and often works on software using XMPP, JavaScript and Erlang. He also worked as executive director of Xiph.Org Foundation and developer of Ogg Vorbis project. Moffitt's work with Erlang has made him a regular presenter at the Erlang Factory conference series. Moffit's 2012 application for XMPP.org lists several of his other projects.While working on Chesspark.com Moffit led the development team that created Strophe - a library for writing XMPP clients, implemented in JavaScript and C for developers of XMPP applications. Moffit's team also released several other open source projects related to XMPP. In November 2008 Moffitt co-founded Collecta, a real-time search company which uses XMPP, including the Strophe library, for communication between the client and server. Collecta launched its public beta in June 2009. Moffitt served as CTO for Collecta until some time in late 2010 when he left the company to work on other projects. Moffit also worked on iOS development as part of Lunchbox Labs according to information on his LinkedIn profile. Lunchbox Labs produced the iOS word game SnackWords.

In 2012 Jack Moffitt joined TalkTo, an internet startup which allows users to send questions via an application or SMS and have agents at TalkTo answer their questions or conduct research for them. Moffitt's role is "Lead Architect" according to the ErlangFactory conference website for Moffitt's 2012 talk there. TalkTo reportedly uses XMPP for some of its communication, which may explain Moffitt's involvement. On the TalkTo blog, a birthday message to Moffitt was displayed referencing him as a "team member" and including a happy birthday message which is an XMPP code stanza. Former Chesspark and Collecta coworker, Nathan Zorn, who is also an active member of the open source community, appears in the image holding up the sign and on the About page of the TalkTo website, indicating he is also a TalkTo employee, though whether he or Moffitt joined first is unknown.

In 2010 Moffitt gave a talk called "Your Brain on Sound: Aural Illusions, MP3, and Psychoacoustics" as part of Ignite New Mexico Moffitt blogs occasionally at Metajack.im - the ".im" suffix chosen because it is also shorthand for "instant message" in a nod to Moffitt's work with XMPP. Moffitt also hosts a variety of code in a public repository on GitHub and contributes actively to discussions on the site. more…
