Four months ago, give or take, I was all in on getting my business set up. Building new compute environments, getting initial web stuff together, registering the LLC, looking at the various regulatory crap that needed to be …

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.

It’s been about two and a half months since I started playing with the Click & Grow (and it seems like a whole lot longer). I find that I’m enjoying the hobby, and I see no reason to stop.

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 …

Every once in a while I like to do a round of maintenance on my homelab. This generally includes cleaning everything up, modernizing where I can, and so on. The beginning of 2024 seemed like an excellent time, but also a bit more …

Day 24. Three and a half weeks, and still looking good! Only a few more before I should have some fresh basil for my kitchen… My cats have become… interested…

I finally got around to finishing up the sharing stuff; look for the little sharing icons on the upper right of a post header or a project page. Note that I haven’t tested LinkedIn or Twitter; I use neither service and …
