Is anyone else blown away by the quality and potential impact of the #AiWriter #AI #Writing work products from tools like Jasper, ChatGPT, or wherever? I routinely write, edit, buy writing, and buy editing, and this seems like it’s going to be hugely disruptive at least in the “middle” writing world that I mostly inhabit… Continue reading

Interesting and disappointing to find out that one of the mesh #wifi systems I was looking at doesn’t have ethernet backhaul. I would have thought that was standard these days. Continue reading

A new (to me) idea is to keep using #wordpress as the #cms but then have #Hugo render the site with the content in WordPress. Might need a new plugin for this. This would allow editing remotely (and on the phone). Just need to find a way to get Hugo to notice new content, build,… Continue reading

Still working on converting my #wordpress #blog to #hugo or #jekyll . One thing I can’t figure out is “remote” (non-desktop) publishing.

A degree is worth it regardless of leading to direct employment. Helps your life and career in medium and long run. For career, esp short term, prob not. With a couple years experience, you can already get hired somewhere. To me, a degree forms a broad, deep foundation for living and growing. That’s a big… Continue reading
