It's been nearly two years since my last post, and I'm due for a status update.

I've been meaning to come back to this space and give it the standard periodic cleaning (as has been done in the past a couple of times). 1.

I will fully admit that I grew up comfortable working on a computer without a GUI.

Welcome back!

Spurred on by: a lack of posting in this space, the chance to show off the new backend/theme to my blog (I did work on this while nobody was looking, and started building an RSS feeed!)

TL;DR: Building on basic email, and with the advent of Mastodon, XMPP, Matrix and more, using and building federated networks could bring immesurable improvements to the Internet. 1.

I'm flying a lot more as part of my current job.

Late-ish last year (around November, if memory serves), I read about a new OS project which allowed its users a stark departure from traditional Linux methods.

tags: metablog, systems, whoops I've identified that a considerable time has gone by since the last update.

In order to keep practicing and make sure I keep sharp on what I'm learning, I like to dig through problem sets and write solutions for them.

I've been working on trying to teach myself Rust for the past 4 months or so.

I don't know if it's the digital form of spring cleaning, or if there's a standing need to clean things up and keep them looking nicely, but I found it time this weekend to update the visual and functional aspects of my blog.

So, I traded in my work laptop today to replace it with a new one.

So, I guess on 30 April 2013, Posterous Spaces was shuttered.
