I've started hacking, and now I have a rough storage bit and some of the format. Next is the first rev on the API, and a rough front end to generate reminders. Then a piece to do a simple delivery of the reminder, and a wrapper that does the persistent …
read moreBuilding a reminder service and a pipeline
So, I need a reminder service. Or, some way to flag myself in the future about something I'm doing something with now. Along with this, I have to construct a build pipeline, where I can develop, test, and then deploy a service out into the world. We'll start simple; an …
read moreUsing tech for focus and importance
I was going to write about being tired, but instead I'm going to write about better focus. I've built some nice helper bits for my life, but there are a few problems. One is that I've developed a set of routines which is good, but I'm not sure the output …
read moreDoing less and feeling tired
I'm starting to feel much better but I'm still not 100%. I feel tired and drained after a few hours, and my memory is not very together -- I'm not grokking stuff I usually would and I'm not keeping as much on my mind as I usually can. I have to …

read moreThe covid interlude
So, after a good run, my luck ran out and I got Covid. 2 years, social distancing, vaccine shots, wearing masks, but it's sneaky. I'm glad I'm vaxxed, because it was a more mild case, but MUCH WORSE than the flu. I'm just popping on to give an update, and …
read moreDoing a review
I want to get more hands on, and instead of running theoretical container workloads, I'd like to mint up a new development project. So, to start, I'm actually going to snag an old project that's a bit of an unweildy monolith, and refactor into some more reusable bits. Maybe not …
read moreGoing through the days
I want to talk a bit about what I've already done, and what I'd like to do, content and learning wise. My first few days have been intros to containers and orchestration. My next few days have been about getting something to run, and explaining some terminology. I also spent …
