Interests

What keeps pulling me in

Computers, especially old ones

I tinker with computers constantly, especially older machines that can still be made useful.

I play three or four times most weeks, so this has become less of a side interest and more of a routine.

Most of my coding starts with something annoying me enough to build a small tool for it.

Using them, measuring them, and occasionally making several of them argue with each other.

Running services at home because maintaining them myself is somehow the fun option.

Waiting around for one interesting arrival, usually while the weather changes its mind.

If a Pi can become a server, watchdog, or pocket computer, I will probably try it.

Big lenses, moving subjects, too many photos, and the occasional frame worth keeping.

Headscale, DNS, tunnels, and diagrams explaining why any of it works.

ESP boards, sensors, and wires that were definitely working five minutes ago.

Home Assistant and the slow process of giving ordinary switches unnecessary opinions.

Watching races and judging strategy calls from the safety of the sofa.

Riding around the city when the weather and air cooperate.
