Cruising with the windows down on a cool summer night with the pups and jamming some good tunes.

Fun with XMPP. Agh, OMEMO implementations don’t always work across clients. It has to do with the byte length of the initialization vector for AES which should be 12. A few folks use 16 and it throws a wrench in things. Old problem, but at least I know why now.

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us muck around and be glad in it!

Found a USB stick that I dropped in my field around 4 years ago…no way it works after all the sun, rain, and snow?

Had a strange, yet beautiful sunset today.

Not all scrap piles are equal. I hit the mother load today! Not scrapping these, but they might find their way into my house.

I just explained Tetris to one of our blind friends. That was interesting.

Keep track of your gift cards folks!

Installed an XMPP server. Basically it is a pretty established and prominent open protocol for messaging. Most of the tech giants used to use it before abandoning it and walling off their users into their own realms. There was a time not too long ago when messaging apps could all talk together, but progress right? How we communicate is a choice. Why leave something as fundamental and important in the hands of corporations that don’t represent our interests? Reach out if you want to know more.

I think @neauoire and @rek would like this.

I thought I'd try a new spin(at least to me) on site design that focused on SVG's. This was fun, quick, and I daresay practical. It's a little chunky, but it could be trimmed down with a little effort.

I've been grabbing weather data every few minutes in my area since early 2021. I've been meaning to do something interesting with it and the text file is over 16MB at this point. Maybe next week...

I know it looks like it was filmed with a potato, but I ran across this old video of my father-in-law and his siblings. Since they all happened to be in town together, they closed our worship service with a song from their childhood church. @Russ
