2026 Week 2
Built a Meatloaf for my C64, but the SID chip croaked. Synology backup woes (turn it off and on again works). Exploring IndieWeb comment systems. Reading "Status and Culture" like an alien anthropologist. TikTok addiction. Moar cats. Catsby's still here, still purring. [ ... 1304 words ... ]

2025 Week 51
Weeknotes continue! Tried to write daily posts but only managed one before the week happened.

2025 Week 43
Wrestled with my Synology NAS trying to get a Debian VM running, started learning Kubernetes and Argo Workflows, watched Catsby and Miss Biscuits become friends, populated my BBS with text files from textfiles.com.
