Mostly journaling projects in the physical realm. I’ve been enjoying making things with wood, leather, metal, electronics, 3D printing. And some introspective writing, mostly for myself. I have lots more drafts of projects that I’m hoping to publish in the near future.
A very small bit of writing, a reading log, some photos, and link to other work.
I blogged about my involvement in FOSS last year. This year has had no updates on account of being the hardest year of my life yet, but I'll get back to it this month.
I blog about technical subjects, general societal observations, and post book reviews.
Most of my posts are about shell scripting and messaging-based architectures. I wrote a small module framework for Bash that allows you to send messages (point-to-point and pub-sub) between scripts, so I'm doing a small series about enterprise integration patterns in Bash.
I'm planning to cover some of my other projects (embedded, hardware, baking -- everything I do is pretty low-level) once I get around to it.
My fursona is a dhole. It's a wordplay on "dull moments".

It's a personal blog, I've run different versions of it for 15 years or so, and there's few pages cached in archive.org which I would like to bring back to the latest incarnation.
Alas, never a priority.
