what I'm doing now

I spent some time avoiding Emacs package bankruptcy. A recent package install broke Magit so I decided it was time to update all installed packages and prune out all the things I no longer use.

I also turned on which-key-mode to help discoverability. I've been using Emacs for decades but there is plenty I have not learned about yet. The gem I learned this week is the C-x 8 e emoji keymap.

I am learning to type again. And flashing custom firmware to my keyboard.

I was very fortunate to see the aurora from my garden on Monday 12 Aug.

I am officially now a maintainer of the YNL library and Netlink specifications that live in the Linux kernel git repository.

Having spent the last 20+ years focused on networking technologies, I am now enjoying a bit of a pivot to Zero Trust architectures. Sure, there's still a lot of networking in Zero Trust, but there's also some interesting new problems related to identity and attestation as well as the need for compliance auditing and maturity assessment.
