NAS to see you!
After too many years, I’m finally building myself a NAS: network-attached storage, a device for backing up files, photos, and all the data that is otherwise in the cloud. Say goodbye, FANGs, I’m going self-hosted.
Hello Monday!
I’m feeling unreasonably optimistic again this morning, and can’t really see why (but I guess that’s the definition of “unreasonable”). Weekend was sort of typical, with no real “events” to speak of, just housework and study – oh, did I mention I’m studying?
Yep, it’s true: I’m working towards a masters. An MBA in fact!
A single unit at a time, online, so it’s likely to take me about four years to finish but it’s kind of great being g a student again … even if it doesn’t come with the lack of responsibility that I seem to recall so fondly of my earlier days. Assignments, reading, discussion forums – something to concentrate on apart from my day job …

Whilst Dee and Jules play videogames downstairs, I sit in a beanbag in my makerspace and contemplate the various hardware projects that I would like to complete over the next couple of years.
I guess I should update the ‘blog?1 Not an easy thing to do these days, since even finding the time to do something as self-indulgent as public journaling probably just means there’s something else I could be doing instead, but maybe it’s an experiment I would like to continue?
