Sam Warnick

I did like two things for ScreenCred, got a new printer, and somehow started drawing.

I've been on vacation for a lot of this work block, but still got quite a bit done.

The first post on this blog was July 23, 2016.

As part of my Lemon Point effort, I'm attempting to have clear boundaries on when I work on side projects.

For the last couple of years, I've withdrawn a bit and have been working mostly in isolation.

I grew up near Ithaca, New York.

For an incredibly long time, I've had this core tension in my head of really wanting to build apps and stuff, but not knowing what to build.

Good morning.

I've never been one to think much about work outside of work hours.

I had a few things I wanted to write about.

Each week of April, a few friends and I took turns choosing a prompt that we would all blog about.

Carter posed the question: You have been given one month away from your obligations to use your talents to enact societal good.

As I was driving home from taking my kids to school, I thought about how I do not know how much it actually costs me to drive them every day, and I don't want to know[1].

The prompt was "how do I compute", but I made a typo.

1990s I don't think we always had the Internet at home, but I don't remember not having it.

I always need a project.

I've always been pretty interested in bookbinding and publishing.

I needed a little extra motivation to write on the blog, so I proposed to a few friends a sort of challenge.

Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should. — Dr.

I've been playing a lot of Pokopia.

I'm trying not to make every post about AI.

A couple years ago, I built an app for my wife and I to keep track of what is for dinner.

Programming has always been a sort of creative outlet for me.

I'm writing this as a snapshot of my current feelings.

I definitely spend more time fiddling with my blog than actually writing for it.

If everything goes well, you will be able to read this post shortly after I commit it.

I've been using Coolify the last few months to self-host some apps.

I've been thinking about my hobbies and what's in store this year.

I opened my BrickLink store—Lemon Point Bricks—about two years ago.

For the last five years, my Synology DS920+ was the only machine I had for self-hosting stuff.

As I've been diving into the world of self-hosting, I've begun to rethink a lot of how I do things.

You may remember that I've moved some sites and apps that I self-host to only be accessible when connected to my tailnet.

I'm making some upgrades to my homelab.

Open Graph images have been the bane of my existence.

I've been unsatisfied with all the RSS reader apps I've tried recently.

I've been using Coolify for like a month and a half now.

I won't bury the lede.

While making Hannah's Game, I made a Svelte confetti component.

Apple Watch & AirPods Running is the only exercise I enjoy and it is 100% because of the Apple Watch and AirPods.

As an experiment, I wanted to explore what it would take to move samwarnick.com from Netlify to my self-hosted Coolify instance.

Like so many of my sudden deep dives, this is Carter's fault.

I realized that after I posted about trying to make OG images work on Cloudflare, I stopped doing almost anything.

Buckle up for a ramble.

I'm migrating ScreenCred to be a web app.

CARTER_RULES.md I thought it might be an interesting meditation to try and figure out what rules I personally follow when writing code.

My wife is helping start a Pokémon club at our library.

Since letting my Apple Developer membership expire, I've been giving more thought to moving ScreenCred to the web.

My Apple Developer membership has expired.

I'm in between projects at the moment.

Sometimes when I shower, I zone out.
