Just a couple minutes ago I thought to check that my SSL certificate for this site was still valid. It’s good – Cloudflare is handling that part.

Then I looked at my last (and only) post. Noticed it was from 2018. TWENTY EIGHTEEN. Two friggin years ago. Of course I spotted a few typos and fixed them.. Yeah, I’ve been either busy, occupied, or disconnected. Today I’ve been up since about 4am due to The Wife snoring. My normal wake up time is 5:30am. So I’ve had a little time to tinker this morning.

What have I been working on? I’m going to make this list for me, and maybe you’ll see something interesting.
