Obligatory "first post!"

I made it. I'm a gemini blogger. A gemlogger.

From browsing around it seems like there's a lot of writing about gemini, here on gemini. I get it. As one gets started writing here, gemini itself is a hot topic, very new and exciting. Then, most of us don't have the longevity to stick to a blog/gemlog for very long, and so gemini-wide, we're very heavy on "wow just found this cool gemini thing".

So I'm going to resist the urge - notwithstanding that last paragraph. The strategy will be: no discussing gemini until post #6 - make it through five posts first.

By way of introduction, I'm a software engineer in my late 30s. I've got a wife and kids. These days for work I do less coding and more managing teams, but I always keep a few FOSS side projects running. I'm new now to ctrl-c.club and "tildeverse" shared unix boxes in general. I hope I can find contributors on projects I start, others' projects to contribute to, and some new friends.

I'm an old soul, always very interested in old technology, and intrigued with how we might get that one step back from all the times we've taken "two steps forward, one step back". I once founded a company largely about scratching that "recover the one step" itch, and I think that has a lot to do with my being here on the small web now.

One down, four to go.
