Unfortunately the bank that backed them, BBVA, sold to PNC. This lead to my Simple being shut down, and my account was converted first to a BBVA account and then to a PNC account.

XMPP is considered dead by many but I enjoy using it and bridging other IM services to it is fun. It helps me writing less crappy code at my day job, where I'm not a dev but rather a data scientist or something like that.

I'd be thrilled to receive contributions and feedback. ;-)

Wanting to experiment with Shopify, I decided to make a t-shirt shop for cyberpunk and sci-fi stuff. So I registered a short sci-Fi sounding domain: https://hex7.org and proceeded to toil (many many mouse clicks) away stocking my shop with with hand-designed shirts and coffee cups and then waited. 2 years in, not a single sale : Partly I wanted just to add products and see if the combination of Shopify, Google, and m…
