Decided to pick up Arc Raiders, been having fun playing solo and being a little scavenger. If you also play, feel free to add me. It won’t be hard to figure out my username.

11 years ago I gave my first conference talk at ZendCon in Santa Clara. Now I’m back but helping run a hackathon for #apiword. If you are also here, stop by the Vonage booth and say hi, and feel free to enter to win some prizes!

Watching the FFIX run on GDQ, and _really_ considering picking it up on PC. Looks much nicer than on PSX.

I've been saying this for years, or at least a variation of this. We broke the internet by making it more complex for no ones benefit.

One of my new years resolutions was to get in better shape. I've started and stopped many times over the years, but this year have stuck with it the longest.
It's been 75 days of tracking my meals and I'm finishing up the first 9 weeks of working out.
I'm down ~20lbs and feeling better in general.

Gotta love awkward rideshare talk.
"So how is Ohio?"
"Oh, it's nice, but it's supposed to rain today after I land."
"It's a good red state. I hope Trump wins, Kamala doesn't know anything about the US economy."
"I do wish the weather was a bit more consistent like here."

An interesting question that has always bugged me:
I’ve released a new version of software, why aren’t people upgrading?
I think I found the question I should be asking:
What’s the friction people are experiencing when trying to upgrade?

From discussions in other social media circles:
Would anyone legit be interested in something along the lines of a book-like thing about:
"Reviving Simplicity: Web Deployment without DevOps Overhead"
Repost and all that jazz. If there was polling support, I'd have "Yes/No/As a blog series" here

Roughly 1/3 of the internet runs on httpd, but it seems like a lot of developers have no idea how to configure it, let alone remember it exists.
Having to explain what FastCGI is or basic httpd directives is something I feel like I’m doing more and more.
