Today I worked on budget spreadsheets, planned out all of next year's travel, went grocery shopping at two different stores, restocked the pantry, emptied the dishwasher, and cleaned the sink.

When do I get my adulting trophy?

For the past month, I've had a fragment of a song stuck in my head, and haven't been able to figure out where it's from. The Foundation theme reminds me of it.

Finally, tonight, I remembered it's from a bizarre Swedish commercial I saw years ago.

I just got to scare the crap out of some kids who were climbing around my construction site by triggering a 12v siren from Home Assistant, and watched the whole thing on the remote camera feed! It was oddly satisfying, and I hope they get the message not to come back.

I just finished downloading my whole Flickr account to a static website. Now browsing around it is much faster than looking at the same photos on Flickr, and it makes me want to get back to actually organizing my photos again!

There's a super good deal on the Anker chargers on Amazon today! https://a.co/j0Kl8kK

Check out the video I made about them here:

Love playing the guessing game of "do I feel like crap because I have covid or because the air has been 150 AQI for the past five days" 🙃

I just discovered that a gliding club in New Zealand wrote software to receive the GPS data that my iOS app collects and they recommend it on their website for tracking flights! https://gliding.co.nz/overland-for-iphone-setup/

Hello internet friends!

What is the best way to share a set of photos with a select few people, while being able to add more photos over an extended period of time? Must not rely on creating an account like on iCloud.

I have my own thoughts but I am interested in other ideas!

Well ResolveCon is a wrap! Now I'm biking from Ashland to the Medford airport! Gonna be a bit of a slow ride to stop and take some drone photos and such.

You can follow along with my trip here! https://compass.p3k.io/s/hvbTCYY4ebTrJJo

Despite having my folding bike for almost 5 years, this will be the first time I've actually traveled with it!

I just google image searched "router" and why do all routers look like giant scary spiders now?

It's been a long time since I've done a full day marathon coding session, but I am nearly done with a tool that will archive your entire Flickr account as a static website that you can browse entirely offline!

Downloading my 124gb of Flickr data now...

Remember the Eye-Fi SD card? that was so good! why doesn't anything like that exist anymore? At this point you'd think at this point Apple/Google/Amazon would want to make one that uploads to their own clouds or something

So awesome that I get to spend my first day of PTO tearing up my desk so the landlord can get to the windows to measure them 🙄

I'm working on a new video course, (tentatively) called "Advanced OAuth Security"!
