in 2019, I started seeing a therapist. I did because, in my wife's words, I was getting out of control. She wasn't wrong. I had been abusing myself. Getting into fits of rage over nothing. I hated my job, feeling like everything that I attempted was
My wife & I are sitting at LaGuardia airport after a couple of days in Connecticut with some friends. Personally, I am running on approximately 3 hours of sleep, so my thoughts may be a little confused and ramshackle at this point. That part is fine. As always, the important
At least, you shouldn't consider yourself one. The other day, I was getting my oil changed in Jefferson Park and having a conversation with a fellow client who had come by to get lubed. While discussing the lockdown and general WFH malaise, she asked me what I did
So it's a month and 5 days later. I didn't stick to my plans quite as rigidly as I would've hoped to, but... I learned a good deal. I know how HTML works better now, which definitely helps me manage this site overall. Going
When I was young, one of my friends had a dad who was a programmer. Perl, to be specific. My dad, back at home, spent his days on the phones convincing strangers to buy a product he had been briefed on. But this guy, from my perspective, created entire worlds.

Hi folks. How have you been? I ask you to come use this site because I don’t really use Facebook that much anymore. I find the platform is simultaneously constricting and too open. And it concerns me, especially when I see that other platforms like Google more or less
I have issues explaining this to people. Sometimes I delve into industry buzzwords. For example, I’m in dev-sec-ops, I’m in computer networking or security, or just that I keep the site from going down. Sometimes this explains the question and we move onto another topic. But not always.
I can’t legally admit that I was ever hacked. But sometimes people close to me get it. When I can’t respond in time, bad things happen. True, with great sysadmin powers come great responsibility. But in another truth, the rivers of data that connect us together are leakier
I’m sure you’ve all had it. This year has been a bastard to all of us. Some of us have lost friends, jobs, loved ones, homes, futures. We’ve all had to put our lives on hold, watching the fishbowl of the world outside. Seeing empty TV spectacles
