AWA XXV

It’s been over a week since I got back from attending Anime Weekend Atlanta for the 16th year in a row, and if I had to be honest with myself, this really was the best one ever. It had nothing to do with the convention’s content but rather had to do with getting to hang ... Read More

Hi! It’s been ages since I wrote here… I’ll try to be better. I now am self-hosting my personal websites as I put a server in a local datacenter recently. It’s something fun, and hardening WordPress is now something more easily doable since I have root on the server. That’s all for now!

Scaling Back

Every year I’ve looked at Anime Weekend Atlanta as more than a chance to hang out with friends from out of town because of the rather unique situation having several laptop wielders in the same hotel room can present. Therefore, I come up with all sorts of hair-brained network schemes to get everyone online from ... Read More
