Back in 2021, event sourcing was a concept I had read about but never put into practice.

What Vim is not I think it's important to point out that nothing I'm going to write about here is going to sell nvim as this tool that made me magically more efficient.

So, here I am in 2026, writing my first "blog" post in about 9 years.

Recently, I've found myself running an EC2 instance in a hybrid cloud environment, for software where the private and public IP of a machine matter and must remain static.

Are you working on a single page application that needs to be embedded in an iframe?

I recently stumbled across this video of "someone" (would love to know more about the author of the video) live coding in common lisp.

For far too long my sitemap has been served as a static xml file that I update every time I write a new post.

Like many programmers over the past two weeks, I have been experimenting with Apple's newly announced Swift Programming language.

Lua was intended to be used as an embedded language.

About a few months ago I read this article by Sarah Mei that flags some possible issues with using MongoDB as a data store for a social networking application.

For the past few weeks I have been making changes to the look and feel of throw-up.

Today I was bored so I decided to do some cleaning up on throw-up.

Christmas is coming up so I went ahead and got myself (and some family) a Kindle Fire HD 7" tablet.

The other day I had an idea for a website that would basically be a CRUD application where the data store is a search engine.

Sometimes, I insist on being different, and sometimes that can come back to bite me.

This has been exciting.

A few weeks ago I read this blog post by Kijana Woodard, which inspired me to create my own blog.
