I wholeheartedly agree.

Today's a really good day to put @signal.org's app on your personal devices.

OMG, the new IBM product names for the former Hashicorp products are to die for.

I mean, who doesn’t love a name like “IBM Nomad Self-managed Premium Resource Value Unit Flexible Subscription License”? 🤣😆😂

A newly-built white farmhouse-style home

Finally done!

Today is a struggle with feeling like I’m just not enough.

This! 🤣

Haha, you may be right! 🤣

How is it that at 25 years old I didn’t think twice about climbing up on the roof to do something, but now at 50 years old climbing on the roof scares the crap out of me?

I had to switch my work laptop from #ArchLinux to #Ubuntu to comply with corporate requirements. It sucks not having access to the latest packages. (First world problems, I know.)

Everything is a lot have a timeline cleanse. Remember to breathe. 💖

I’m hearing vague rumors this may happen soon-ish in my neck of the woods (near NC/VA state line). Hoping these rumors are true! 🤞🏻

A picture of a portion of the porch of a white house with a bright blue front door

It’s been a while since I posted an update on the new house. We’re very nearly done! Here’s a quick sneak peek at our front door. (Don’t mind the dirt, it’s actually been power-washed since this picture was taken.)

One way I use AI is for inspiration. I ask AI to write something for me, and then it's so terrible that I am *inspired* to rewrite the whole thing out of spite.

Never underestimate the power of spite-driven writing.

If the shoe fits… 🤣

Life Hack: find a cave to hide in for 20 years

I can’t say I’m surprised that this happened. Let’s learn from this experience and not move to yet another proprietary platform.

Some people might consider Austin, Texas, to be the land down under. 😂🤣

Hello, AUS.

❤️

I am, thanks. I’m still worried about the state of our world, of course.

Thank you!

Thank you! Spending some time with my son last night helped. He’s a great young man (although I may be a bit biased).

Love the dog pic! Thanks, it brightened my day. 🙂

Thank you, Eric. I appreciate you!

Thank you, I appreciate the advice and the support.

Anytime, my friend, happy to talk. Let me know.

Thanks, I appreciate it. 🙏🏻
