announcement

here it is. Here is the (redacted) first draft of my contemporary fantasy novel, working title "Firewalls"

I am SO close to being done with v0* of my ~*~super sekret side** project~*~ that it is driving me crazy

*v0 meaning it won't be ready for public consumption, but I'll finally be willing to talk about it

**not sure what a side project is when I don't have paid employment, but whatever

check out this little guy I bought on ebay

it's ancient and runs like molasses and the wifi doesn't work

but it's adorable and I love it. I'm gonna wipe it and install Debian and use it as a portable text editor :)

Those oddly shaped Yankees bats?

They are the result of two years of research and experimentation with a former MIT physicist turned coach at the helm.

Does anyone have any handy links to interviews or blogs about what it's like to go through the process of raising a seed round?

(not asking because I want to do so myself, I have other reasons for wanting to know)

ESPHome is the neatest, most useful piece of software I've encountered in a long time

ESPHome + Flipper + bunches of esp32s and RF transmitters + zigbee wall buttons = no more single-purpose remotes to lose or take up space

gonna cut this sticker off this box and put it on my shirt and head to the airport because flying cargo is probably my only remaining chance of making it onto a 747

Had a dream last night I successfully manipulated the "internet algorithm" to show me only "lighthouse content" and it was quite pleasant, so I should probably get working on that #lighthouse #lighthouses
