Building in the college NIL space.

Would you be willing to share more? That seems like a very ripe (can't think of a better word) place to be working in.

Still working on the golf course wiki: https://golfcourse.wiki

Currently finishing up the tournament software and getting ready for beta testing with some local clubs. This should eventually allow frugal clubs to operate golf tournaments extremely cheaply because no data needs to be licensed if they add their own course's data to the wiki.

Decided after all these years to start to create open source libraries around things I've worked with in the past.

As worked a lot with Kubernetes in the past, I started with creating a Kubernetes Operator alternative to external-dns I call Phonebook: https://github.com/pier-oliviert/phonebook

It lets you control DNS record like you would any other native resources in Kubernetes through CRDs. Open-sourced it last week and there's already a bunch of features that are planned for the operator"

  - cert-manager's support for DNS-01 challenges
  - More support for other providers
  - Increase support for each provider that already exists
  - etc.

Check it out!

added support for mysql and sqlite (in addition to postgres) to rainfrog, a database management tui: https://github.com/achristmascarl/rainfrog

they haven't been tested as extensively as postgres though so are still considered unstable!

Still working on turtleSpaces (a 3D extended implementation of Apple Logo) https://turtlespaces.org

We're actually starting to get users!

Also, we're going to start working on a 2D arcade game builder that uses Logo as its scripting language

Writing some fiction that I’ve wanted to get to for years. Releasing a chapter at a time. Trying to decide on My Next Big Technology Project. I might have already decided, but I’m not ready to share for psychological reasons. I would like to do it in the open, but I have no idea how to build an audience. Maybe I just get started and hope I'm not totally boring.

Definitely just get started and see how it goes. Maybe also start with a "Sign up to get notified when we launch" form on your website, to generate some interest and start building a mailing list.
