I wear hearing aids — Oticon Intent 1 miniRITEs. Functionally, they’re a pair of tiny computers that live on my ears: DSP firmware, Bluetooth streaming, beamforming mics, and a configuration I was not allowed to touch. That last part didn’t sit right. Every adjustment meant an appointment…
This one is kind of a tough one. Depends on what era of my youth? When I lived in Citrus City in Buras it was playing in the weeds on the back street. We would make trails, ride bikes, build fires, shoot bb guns, and generally be unsupervised hellions. Once…
I went to Louisiana Tech in Ruston, Louisiana. It’s a public university in the northern part of the state. Maybe 30 minutes south of the Arkansas border. It’s between Shreveport and Monroe along I-20. The town only takes up 3 or 4 exits from the interstate so it really isn’t…
After coming back from a vacation, I had what I thought was a persistant UTI. Went to the walk-in clinic and was given a prescription for it and was told that if it doesn’t go away to make an appointment with my primary care physician. Low and behold it didn’t…
It’s been a long time coming but still is a hard transition to be giving up using Vagrant as my go to tool as a sandbox for system design ideas. I’ve got years of familiarity with it and more importantly, the mythos around it’s creation called to me. Here is…

This just caused me to go down a lengthy rabbit hole about how Unify has SSL certs configured on their devices and the interplay they have with their own WiFiMan app. Not the worst tradeoff but it is something to be aware of. https://github.com/kchristensen/udm-le/issues/30 Just spent waaaayyyy too much time…
Currently taking a cybersecurity bootcamp through work as a side hustle. Part of what I’m doing in the class is documenting some things for myself and for others in the cohort that they might want to also do for the inevitable job hunt. Today’s effort is spinning up a professional…
Definitely noticed that internet surfing has improved. I mean I knew it would but not to the degree it has.
Bit of a non-technical sidestep…. I got a dog named Lafayette. A Great Pyrenees mix to be exact. Jesus, I forgot what its like to own a dog. To be able to talk to the creature and know that it understands nothing of what you are saying and yet if…
