A website about technology and life.

If it feels like I've been absent for a moment, that's because I was. I have some posts I need to catch up on making from the weekend, but in the meantime know that I am back!

This weekend was a busy one and on top of that I decided to migrate to using my own home-grown Microsub server. That didn't go quite as planned so I was "heads-down" working on that any time I had computer time. That was limited until lunchtime today when I got the rest of my issues fixed I think.

We shall see!

Happy Birthday to Me (and Twin Peaks day)
Aaron Crowder

Diane, 11:30am, February 24th. I'm entering the town of Twin Peaks. Today is Twin Peaks day. The show originally aired in 1990, but is meant to have taken place in 1989.

Today's hike was meant to be a big one. Then Azure got really sick which was a huge bummer. And then we realized that if I didn't go for a hike today (even a small one) I'd fall behind on my goal of getting 40 hikes this year.

So I decided I'd go for a quick 45 minute hike. That turned into an almost 2 hour, five mile adventure lol. Enjoy some photos! Happy Valentines!

Happy 12th blog birthday!
Aaron Crowder

Yesterday evening I wondered how long this blog had been around. So I decided to look it up on the wayback machine. I was not ready to realize that yesterday was my blogs BIRTHDAY 🎉 Wow. It's been 12 years! Crazy how fast time has flown and how much of my life has changed since then. I'm now no longer: Working at Boostability. Married. Mormon. However, a lot is the same! I'm still a dad. I'm still a software engineer (and I've grown in my career a lot!). And a lot is actually better....
