This is my little corner in the bitstreams where I plan to go on about all the fun stuff I do or have done.

I spent the better part of Sunday trying to get ssl working with a SpringBoot Java app. Talk about frustrating! I tried numerous guides after my own guess on how to get it working didn't pan out. The challenge centered around Spring Security and its methods of ssl support. Further …
I have been happily printing Gridfinity parts to organize my mess of a workshop and they are simply awesome! I got a little too impatient in getting things done and didn't give much thought to overnight temperatures dropping to near-freezing last night. Since my shop doesn't have permanent heat at …
I tend to go into Maker hibernation from Dec through February in part due to my workshop not having all that much heat and insulation. Things get to be too hard to do there when its below freezing so I hibernate. For me this means some heavy gaming and coding …
Rebuilding my site using Pelican and self hosting it on my RaspberryPi.
Tonight was the first General Meeting of the new Make Roanoke a new Makerspace that's working to get established in the Area. It was really fun to meet like-minded nerds that are as geeky as I am! There was surprisingly large turnout and the group overflowed the sizable meeting room …
