<p>Hi everyone! I&#39;m a software engineer running my own IT consulting firm, trying to make technology a little bit better for everyone. When I&#39;m not doing that, I dabble in permaculture on my family&#39;s small farm. I&#39;m also a train fanatic, environmentalist, tea drinker, and lover of the Oxford comma. I also post about home automation, operating system development, woodwork, gardening, cooking, and occasionally travel.</p>

    Is it just me, or did we used to be able to input latitude and longitude into the search bar on Google Maps and get a result, and now it doesn&#39;t?

    Turns out there is a wrong way to coil a USB cable.

    Couldn&amp;#39;t find a powerboard that would securely screw to the underside of my desk. So I bought a small audio engineering style rack and screwed that to the underside of my desk and got a rackmount PDU instead. I&amp;#39;m sure this is every logical person&amp;#39;s solution to this problem...

    In the modern computing landscape, what exactly makes a workstation PC a workstation? I have my own definition, but I&amp;#39;d like to know what the Internet thinks! #Hardware #PC #Workstation

    Accidentally played in my first tennis pennant match last night. I had so much fun, and didn&amp;#39;t do quite as badly as I was worried I would. But holy hell am I sore this morning! #tennis

    If Microsoft doesn&#39;t want us to develop software for Windows, they can just say so... (the screenshot was taken in Edge) #Microsoft #VisualStudio

    I&amp;#39;m starting to really like &amp;#39;vibe coding&amp;#39;... I&amp;#39;ve now had several clients come to me to take over projects that another agency was working on because the other agency started using generative AI. Apparently there was a real drop in product quality. I wonder why. Basically vibe coding is making me money specifically because I&amp;#39;m not using it. #GenerativeAI #VibeCoding #Programming

    It really annoys me how HTML has &amp;lt;head&amp;gt; for putting CSS in but no &amp;lt;foot&amp;gt; for putting JS in. And yes I know it would serve zero practical purpose, but the asymmetry is bleurgh.
