Starting my next hardware project: Home Lab overhaul.
Taking a bench build (shown) to a clean 42U rack—faster local network, reliable backups, less clutter, and space to learn. I’m posting slightly behind real-time and will share wins + fixes.

Surreal end-of-day twist: an eBay listing selling my smart-meter shelf print. Found it thanks to a random Daniel. Seller was kind, answered my Qs, then removed it on their own accord but now Kinda sad it’s gone. You never know what life throws your way. #3DPrinting #BuildInPublic #CAD

Yesterday afternoon I built a local Electron quiz-builder prototype—because someone asked if I could. GitHub graveyard or ship it? You decide. #BuildInPublic #Electron #QuizApp #IndieDev #OpenSource #Prototype

Blast from the past: stumbled on a total of 184.65 GB of old dev log style project footage while moving data to my new UNAS 2.
Basically my own secret documentary series.

Mid-week reset—swapped keyboards for sea spray 🌊💨 Couldn’t ask for a better view (well… maybe a little less wind).
⚠️Warning—wind maxes out my mic, listen at own risk.

After seeing, hearing and reading praise about the books "Show Your Work" and "Steal Like An Artist" I made the call to get them. Im barely into Show Your Work and I'm already happy with the purchase.

Unfortunately no M5 Chip talk at #WWDC25 but I'm still looking forward to the Call Screening and AutoMix in IOS 26. As well as the new updates to Shortcuts in MacOS 26 too!
