We moved to Australia on 18 April 2022. This is the start of the rest of my life, all over again. I’ve lived in Australia now for two months.

After two years of work, I am finally able to share some big personal news: my wife and I are moving from Denver, Colorado in the United States to Adelaide, South Australia. We will leave the United States on 16 April 2022. That is two weeks from now.

In Feburary 2020, I interviewed was hired at Sophos, a global cyber-security company. Sophos develops products for network security, email security, encryption, mobile securiy, and communications endpoints. The company has 3,500 employees. It is an institution.

For no particular reason, I’ve updated my site to use dark mode. I’m slightly considering making a JavaScript toggle to let users switch between light mode & dark mode. But, no one reads this. So, haha.

This guitar is an E-Series 1987 Japanese Fender Stratocaster Squier. I didn’t know most of that until a month ago. At thirteen, I got it from a pawn shop in small Texas town. It was my first guitar. Many have come and gone over the years, but this one has been with me since. This guitar moves with me to Australia and back. It has my companion and tool in six bands that I can recall from memory right now. It was never great, but that was never the point of this one, for me.

Oh, snap. Look! I had already refactored this controller quite a lot, but then I did this. So satisfying.

I’ve been learning to fish. I’ve learned this is, in fact, not how it works.

I’ve ditched hosting the new static site on AWS S3. It’s mostly an impatient thing, but I’ve also seen odd metrics between the AWS S3 analytics and Google Analytics.

It’s getting cold leading up to Christmas.

From Jeylkk to Middleman

This is not a coding post, so this is a bit off topic, but I don’t care:

Do you want a native benchmarking tool for Rails 4? Good luck.

In Angular 1.x, think of $scope methods as public methods.

It’s been a pretty long while since I’ve posted anything on here. I’ve been meaning to, but I keep forgetting.

This is the first post I’ve made with Jekyll. I’m still deciding if I like it; but, I think it’s database-less state along with the markdown entries make this a winner for me. The Jeykll framework is pretty impressive.
