In case anyone is trying to contact someone in Australia and can't, it could be because Optus is down nationwide, affecting mobile, phone, internet.

This has crippled many ambulance services, hospitals, public transport, and more (including (2FA such as for banking).

It's been down since 4 am Australian Eastern Daylight Time.

I've taken some time off to recenter myself, and now I'm officially re-entering the job market.

If you're in need of a technical editor, writer, or manager of either, or if you know someone who'd be interested, let's talk.

I've worked on tutorials for DigitalOcean, books for O'Reilly and Pragmatic, and other stuff besides.

Boosts for reach are appreciated.

Okidokes, here's my resume. I'm looking for remote work in PDX.

I currently work at Intel as a full stack developer.

As my hobby, I run Platypus Sandbox, and some adjacent instances. Fedi, Matrix, Email, Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Authentik, etc.

For my safety, the public resume has some personal information missing/censored. Please DM me if you want the full version to send to an employer.

NBC news just proudly announced that the name of Musk's "Grok" is based on a character in Douglas Adams's "Hitchhiker's Guide." If they'd bothered to look it up, they'd know the concept was originally from Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land." #DumbNews #NBC

No matter the name, I'll never again willingly engage with any Musk product.

One of the most amazing people in the world just read this Toot.
See, I told you so.

Looking forward to “Moms for Liberty” trying to ban the Bible from schools and libraries, what with all its murder, sexual deviance, immorality, war, slavery, pornography, etc.

Democrats:

Do not stick your heads in the sand regarding recent polling.

Always run as though you're behind.

Always run as though you're behind.

Always.
