Raspberry PI as a Github ‘Runner’ (from Articles )
Nov 2, 2020
(This article is a high level sketch.) When setting up this static website, I wanted as easy a path as possible for getting content from my laptop to the website. There are a lot of systems that do automatic deployment of changes. I wanted something simple, low cost, and which was going to be around a long time. Several of the systems I looked at had generous free plans (Netify, for example), but they are young companies and I’m not sure how long they will be around. [Read More...]

This week has been more productive than I thought it would be. Normally when I’ve traveled back to California, everything feels much more disrupted.

Even though my daily blog is done, I have an interest in recording my thoguhts from time to time. I imagine the “blog” part of this site will stay a little more freeform this way.

Look for thicker asparagus. I don’t have any use for the twig thin kinds. After peeling, line up a bundle facing the same direction and tie with two loops of twine so the bunch fo them don’t float arond freely in the water. [Read More...]

Snow Day (from Blog )
Oct 23, 2020
On October 16th, we had our first day of snow. I’m in the Twin Cities with my girlfriend Chris and it was glorious. Around 9:45am really big fluffy flakes of snow started to float slowly down from the sky. They started to accumulate a little on plants and cars. Except it was 37F so nothing was going to stick. Then it was raining. Then more snow. Then some ice began to fall. [Read More...]
