I haven’t been blogging enough. I thought I’d just throw random updates out there and see what resonates.

When I was a kid, I remember thinking I might like to be a helicopter pilot when I grew up. Movies like http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085255/ got way too much love from me as a kid (really, it was an awful movie). I looked forward to every new epis…

I’ve been busy busy busy geeking out in my homelab. Where did we leave off? Oh, yeah, https://opusmagnus.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/fruits-of-insomnia/.

One of the common struggles that goes with being autistic is maintaining a regular sleep schedule. For a lot of us, it just doesn’t happen. Last night was a rough night, in which I did get a lot of sleep, but it was at the wrong time: 6PM to 1:30A…

The last few months have been http://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/blog/techflash/2015/04/netsuite-acquires-bronto-durham-nc-200-million.html. I’ve been busy, both at work and at play. And both influence one another. Of course, if I were going to w…

My updates here have been few and far between, mostly because I’ve been writing for other entities (when I’m in the mood to write at all). But sometimes I’m working on things where my own blog is the most appropriate outlet.

I’ve got a bit of a problem in that I spend most of my career working in engineering space, but most of my thought capital is spent on larger problems of organizational design, technical strategy, laying down foundations today for problems we’re g…

I’m a big fan of the http://torproject.org. It’s really encouraging to see more people using it, and more people setting up bridges, relays, and exit nodes.

Up until a couple of years ago, I was becoming increasingly active in the http://illumos.org community. I’d given a talk on the subject at http://triangledevops.com, and indeed my most popular entries on this blog tend to be the ones relating to h…
