Recently I’ve been focused on a few personal and technical projects — part infrastructure, part automation, and part organizing the mess.
- 🔧 Set up a new Ubuntu droplet running CyberPanel to host this site and a couple of future-facing tools.
- 🗃️ Imported my old Blogger archive into WordPress — turns out some of those posts from a decade ago (especially around scripting and domain stuff) are still worth saving.
- 📱 Built a SMS-to-Obsidian gateway using VoIP.ms and a polling script. I can send a text from anywhere and it ends up as a markdown note in my vault.
- 🔍 Running a Python script to find unregistered three-letter
.net
domains. It checks availability in parallel across multiple TLDs — speed matters when you’re scanning 50k records. - 🧠 Assembling a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system using a local model (Code LLaMA 7B), SQLite, and Chroma to index source code, personal notes, and old ChatGPT conversations.
It’s been mostly back-end work — making small tools more connected, and building infrastructure I can build on later. More to come once it all settles into place.
