I’m actually supposed to be working on naming my hopeful new business right now, but I was poking around and realized that it’s been just over a year since I revamped the site, noving from WordPress to Hugo.

So this one caught me off-guard. I’m currently working on a project that uses an ESP32-S2, and for expedience I’m working with the Arduino framework. It’s just faster that way, honestly.

I’ve mentioned before that it’s getting to be time for me to get a job. More precisely stated, it’s that an income would be a very nice thing to have. Unfortunately, I recently ran face-first into a psychological …

I’ve been trying to force myself to learn about zsh since Apple switched the default shell (why, Apple, why?!). One of my biggest annoyances has been the unexpected munging of the Meta-Backspace combination.

So I have to admit, four years is far too long between meaningful posts (I don’t count my nearly wordless mid-pandemic rant two years ago). Why have I been so quiet, you ask? Well, that’s complicated, and frankly, not at all …

It’s been a bad year. All I have to say is this: Good Riddance!
