HomeOps

Helped MrsGeek put together a single-page “link in bio” site like one might see on Linktree and elsewhere. Seemed silly for her to pay a subscription price for something when she’s already got tech support right here.

Meanwhile the published notes continue to use Obsidian for the foreseeable future.

Job Search continues for me and a lot of other people. Got a second interview coming up that I’m pretty excited about.

CACM Is Now Open Access – Communications of the ACM

speaking of avoiding skill decay, just realized an ACM membership costs the same as annual billing for GitHub Copilot; and now you don’t even have to pay that for the technical domain knowledge they provide
