Welcome back to the blog. I have been away for a while, but I am back now. I have been busy with work and other things, but I am hoping to get back into the swing of things here.
Ill admit, I have done this a few times before where I had a blog, and then I stopped posting for a while, and then I came back. I hope this time it sticks. I have a lot of ideas for posts.
Where we left off was pedal building and AI generated images. The images in the last post was when I was not really paying for midjourney and was curious how far I could get with zero gpu. My “homelab” is pretty much micro boxes.
Looking back, those images suck, but they did spark an interest in AI and I ended up generating a LOT of cat images over the years since. I have kinda gotton that out of my system now, but I have a lot of fun with it.
I also went from designing pedals on protoboard to modular synths and eurorack. I have a lot of fun with that as well. I get the designs on my laptop and send it off to china.
Then, we moved to California. I have not really unpacked all those projects. I left a lot of things in Texas, and I have not really had the time to get back into it. I have been busy with work and other things, moving, looking for a job and getting all set up here.
AI has advanced so far, people have been laid off left and right, and I have been upskilling in the AI realm.
Projects I would like to kick off and talk about.
-
Getting this blog back up and running. Technically, I fixed this up to blowfish in like November. Im backdating this entry to January as a starting point. There are even posts that were not published, so things might pop up with other dates. Its finally off my local gitea and on github.

AI project: Somewhere I have my OLLLLD wordpress blog. Its just an SQL file that was corrupted and was the last time I gave up on a blog. I want to see if I can recover that and get it up and running again. It seems like an excellent AI task.
-
Garden Stuff: I have always done garden projects in my back yard. The previous house in Farrar was a little bit of a jungle, and I had a lot of fun with it. The new house is much more manicured. We have a pool, no chickens, and a lot more suculents. So suculents are my new hobby for sure. But I have tomatoes and peppers scoped out too. I will be working on a tracking app for the garden.
-
Bluegrass: Im back in the bluegrass scene out here. The players are a bit spread out, but there are some good players for sure.
-
Modular synth: I will get back to this too…but it might take a little bit to reaquire tools and the like. My drill press was little more than a drill on a stand. I have access to some better tools at my dads. We will see.
-
Other AI stuff: Honestly, I dont know where this is going to go. I have been spinning up projects here and there. Its dead simple to have a full app. Ill put down my thoughts.
