I’ve been trying to play the BF6 open beta for several days now. I have jumped through many hoops. This final one is laughable. I guess I will stick to CoD.

Why is this free Internet (Starbucks) so slow!?

Finished reading: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir 📚

This was great! I look forward to the movie!

I saw the trailer yesterday. It looks pretty good. I need to hurry up and finish this book!

Scott Hanselman presents at TEDxPortland: Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver?

This was particularly good because Scott hit some great points AND he had a similar technology arc that many of us probably had. My... https://gilcreque.blog/2025/07/21/scott-hanselman-presents-at-tedxportland.html

Doesn’t she know I have to work right now?

Some notes I took on devices and software tools shared at the Space Coast Sec Show and Tell

I sat down one day a few weeks back and watched the Sally Ride documentary, Sally. It was great and of course sad because she hid her true self from the world for so long.

I wrote about trying out OpenCode. I need to do more dev blogging. There is so much going on!

A receipt displays information for Einstein Bros Bagels order with my name misspelled as GLIBERT

So close. She said name back correctly but…

A shaggy dog rests its head on a table next to an open laptop displaying a code editor, with plants in the background.

I guess I’ll lay right about here.

I was talking about BBSs last night and my friend, Michael, shared this awesome video of RIPScript graphics from that time period. I had forgotten about this whole art scene on BBSs until reading about them. It was a novel time to be alive and in to computers.

My wife calls them toad in a hole.

This is an amazing video if your fond of the BBS days! After reading old and new cyberpunk novels, as well as the history behind how woman made our current Internet what it is, I am feeling nostalgic for this era. I need to get back to working on the TUI BBS I started working on a few weeks ago.

Finished reading: Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline 📚

It picks almost immediately after Ready Player One. I enjoyed this one. I couldn’t stop reading it.

I was listening to the latest episode of How About Tomorrow and found out that OpenCode AI CLI was launched by SST. I guess I finally should setup an AGENTS.md and I found a handy site to help.

Finished reading: Broad Band by Claire L. Evans 📚

This was a very interesting book full of amazing stories. Thanks to Justin Garrison for the recommendation.

Update on the BBS TUI app I have been vibe coding throughout the day.

It can now show a list of Markdown posts from the Space Coast Devs
It can show a detailed view of each post
I got it run over SSH

Now to figure out how to deploy it.

A laptop and iced coffee sit on a wooden table in a spacious indoor area with a high glass ceiling and lush greenery.

Back in my home state ⭐️ for a few days. I’ve been reading Broad Band by Claire Evans and it made me nostalgic for my formative years on the computer. I decided to build a TUI that works like the BBSes back in day. Doing some vibe coding in Go using the Charm library.

Yay! Firebase is down and all my users got kicked out of the app!! 🎉

Hopefully this gets figured out soon. 😅

I agree and disagree. Grilled cheese is also S tier.
