Dave Gauer

Howdy, I’m Dave Gauer. I’ve worked in web technologies since the late 1990s. Some interests: computer programming of all kinds, Linux/BSD/Unix, art, books (genre fiction, computing, history, biographies, art monographs), film, music (metal!), boardgames, and watching small creatures in the back yard.

I've made a big addition to my "Setup2" article about personal computer management with Git and Stow. A check-repos script now helps me quickly check for changes that need to be synced on each machine...
I resisted the urge as long as I could. Because Dave Doesn't Need Another Hobby. But needle felting is cool! I'm updating this page as I make progress. (This post is mostly pictures with descriptions.)
RSS Club* Exclusive followup to the previous "nosurf" post. Great news, everybody!
This was just a "shower thought", but it turned into into an IndieWeb "reply". For that reason, I'm adding it to this feed. :-)
I already knew this, but sometimes it's really pleasant to turn yourself into a factory worker on your own project...
After tiring of jumping through ridiculous hoops to privately share Wordle results with family, I created a really simple Perl CGI application to do the job... This is what software would be like in a utopia.
Okay, I've done it! I've started a Zettelkasten. Only, I'm not following anybody's rules. I'm just calling these "cards". I'm already loving this. (Oh, and just so you know, all content up there right now was plotted out on actual paper index cards. So it's *totally* legit.)
I call it my "log system" and I've been keeping it for almost a decade. Read all about my notebooks (96 and counting), the digital transcription, and the meaning of life. And pictures of notebooks!
I had a dream: * A low power, always-on computer I could SSH into from any other computer in the house. * All of my projects and data in Git repos available for cloning and updating from any computer in the house. * My personal Linux/UNIX configuration ("dotfiles") available to any computer in the house for instant...
*RSS Club Exclusive** Hi, my name is Dave and I have a Web surfing problem.
*RSS Club Exclusive** This is a bit of a rant, but I want to get it off my chest and I'm tired of unloading this stuff on my long-suffering wife.
Really pleased with how easy it is to examine the parts of the voxel destruction physics game Teardown. Gotta "hack" games for the kids, you know. :-)
