Well, aside from the [burst of posts](/posts/2025/06/tui-challenge-day-1/), it as been a spell since I last posted
[something](/posts/2024/01/check-in-2024-01/).  Sorry about that.

 # Computer

Well, I think my little ['Challenge with NixOS'](/posts/2023/01/nixos-challenge-pt-1/) which I started way back in
January 2023 has been passed.  I have one local server, one local 'appliance', and one VPS *not* on NixOS.  Everything
else has been converted for a while.  Keeping my laptops' config synced turned out to be a good thing.  My [main
laptop](/tags/xps) ate its drive just before work one morning, I was able to grab the [pixelbook](/tags/pixelbook) and
start working as it was fully configured, and the needed data was synced in place.  Nice.

Speaking of pixelbooks, I picked up a 'new' 2017 PixelBook.  This one is the i7 with a nvme drive and a battery in great
shape.  I can take it to the office and never have to plug it in using it for my video calls and music player.

# Other stuff

Still at the same job I started back November 2016.  Yikes.  I will try to update this more with more technical stuff, I
hope.

Oh, I changed the theme because the old one had not been updated in a long time, and I was getting tired of the security
notifications.
