The Duane Storey

I'm about 28 months out from my primary Covid19 infection that caused my hospitalization, and eventually gave me the joy of long covid.

Back in October, I found out about a new initiative in Europe called Amatica Health.

I was a bit late to the Claude Code party, and started about six months after most of my friends.

I've been experimenting with AI-assisted development tools for the last couple of weeks, and Claude Code has pretty much become a permanent fixture in my workflow at this point.

I set out last week to try and build a bare-bones repository of WordPress plugins and themes and an associated management plugin.

As most people in the community know, over the last few months things have pretty much gone to shit in WordPress-land.

A few weeks ago, I sat down with my WordPress installation to see how difficult it would be to actually use a different API endpoint entirely instead of the default WordPress.org site.

I posted the other day about how, after 18 years of WordPress, I finally migrated this blog to another framework.

This is my first post in a long time, as you can tell.

Stock is one of those things that seemed magical before I made it.

The Italian Mountain range known as the Dolomites is famously home to several amazing long distance thru hikes known as the Alta Vias, the High Routes.

With the COVID19 state of alarm shortly ending here in Spain, I’ve been slowly getting myself ready to do some long distance hiking.

I was looking through some of my old posts recently, particularly with regards to COVID-19 and the first lockdown here in Spain, and realized I hadn’t done an update in a while.

This last weekend I finally got around to writing up my trip report for my hike along the West Highland Way in 2018.

While I’ve done my fair share of hiking in my life, as I’ve gotten older I’ve gravitated more towards multi-day hikes rather than single day hikes.

I realized this morning that I haven’t really given an update since I was smack-dab in the middle of our lockdown here in Spain.

Tomorrow marks the end of the third week of forced quarantine here in Spain, and unfortunately at this point there still is no end in sight.

This morning I woke up and like most days since the quarantine started here in Spain, immediately checked the official statistics to see if the curve has started to flatten yet.

On January 7th, 2020, I was on an airplane flying from Vancouver, Canada, to Spain, fully unaware of what was occurring in Asia with regards to a novel coronavirus, now known as COVID-19.

There is great deal of evidence to show that our guts used to be in a much healthier state decades ago.
