Went from networking and security to systems administration to software engineering. Now, I own a software company that builds case management solutions for non-profit companies.
I also run a small, weird tech YouTube channel mostly surrounding automation and security, so check that out because it's neat. I'm no expert, but I might make you think about some things.

I'm considering restarting the podcast and I have a few specific topic ideas in addition to simply covering what sort of stuff is coming out, but I'm not sure if there's enough broad interest to devote the time. I might give it a go, we'll see.
In an effort to actually use my social media and be able to announce things outside channel videos, I'm attempting to use a posting tool to simultaneously post on all my stuff--well, most of it. In theory, I'll be more interesting or at least you'll be up-to-date on how uninteresting I am.
I finally started the podcast. Hopefully, I can keep it going and people dig it.

Videos. That is all.
I really should post here more... It really is nicer and more useful, I'm not sure why I don't spend more time here. I think it's the "starting over" thing. I don't know, but I'll try to post here more.
Well, it's not the most exciting thing in the world, but I did a thing. You wouldn't believe me if I told you how many hours it took to shoot and edit--perhaps because I'm just not that great at it, lol.

Loud smart roller shades, unspectacular curtain draws, and the potential for massive failure. That's right, it's a new video.

I have the final pieces needed to start shooting another video. Over two months without one... I'm glad to finally get back to the channel for a minute. Updates pending.
MS-DOS 4.0 went open source on my birthday. Coincidence? Well... probably, but I still think it's neat.
Today, we filed our final brief in Hachette v. Internet Archive, the publishers’ lawsuit against our library. For four years we've been fighting for library rights—what our founder, @brewsterkahle, calls “a battle for the soul of libraries in the digital age.” https://blog.archive.org/2024/04/19/internet-archive-stands-firm-on-library-digital-rights-in-final-brief-of-hachette-v-internet-archive-lawsuit/
