Welcome to my humble abode on the Internet. Sometimes I write posts about computer science and/or software development (not necessarily at the same time). Other times I like to post about things I'm reading or doing. I also like to post about life in general. All things considered, nothing is predictable here. All opinions are my own and do not reflect those of any of my employers: past, present, or future.
This section is a shelf. Indeed, a splendid little shelf chock full of trinkets and widgets and gadgets and all manner of other whimsical oddities. Here you can find your way around my dwelling, until you've seen it all. Welcome one, welcome all. Please clean up as you go.
Penny for my thoughts? Why, don't mind if I do...
Come have a look at my trinkets and widgets and gadgets and things!
If you're into that sort of thing, have a look...
Wanna chat? Well get in line, bucko! Details inside.
You saw that "Bibliophile" word, right? Yeah...
I like to take photos. After I organize them, I put some of my favorites in this album.

Arkitektonika is a small purpose-built webserver and file repository that is made to temporarily store uploaded NBT (Named Binary Tag) format files for sharing with others or transferal between other systems. Arkitektonika was originally written by me for IntellectualSites, a loose open-source software collective. The code has changed since my original contributions.
Note: There are some issues with the time intervals at present. The cycles app allows you to choose whether or not you are going to sleep now or if you have a specific time you'd like to wake up. Once you've made your choice, it calculates a few optimal times at which you should be asleep in order to maximize your sleep cycles and thereby your sleep efficiency.
MCBanners is a free service for Minecraft server operators and game modification developers to generate dynamic images that represent their server and/or software. Nearly the entire (primitive) microservices-based infrastructure was written by me using Spring in approximately one month.
Mediabox is a "media server in a box". If you know how to use Docker and Docker Compose, then you simply download Mediabox and run the "docker-compose.yml" file. Once it's all up, you're off to the races. You can search for movies and TV for download and automatic metadata sorting with Plex.
Mindmapper is an application that allows the user to organize their thoughts for critical thinking. The user can enter a main idea and sub-ideas which extend from it. For each sub-idea, there can be multiple counterpoints, and for each counterpoint there can be multiple rebuttals. Finally, the user can export the end-result to PDF for safe keeping.
Pundasyon means "Foundation" in Tagalog. This is an API written in Java using Spring to provide a few services that my other apps depend on. For example, Weather uses Pundasyon to find location and weather condition data as well as access Wikipedia. There's not much to see, though.
Note: Being reworked. Please excuse some issues in the app. Weather is a simple app that lets you look up the current weather conditions for any arbitrary location. It uses OpenCage to geocode a place name to coordinates, OpenWeatherMap to find current conditions at those coordinates, and Wikipedia to find a nice background image that (hopefully) nicely represents those coordinates.

I wrote this as a tutorial of sorts for somebody who wanted to compile a Java project from a GitHub repository. Give a man a fish, as they say...this is my teaching-a-man-how-to-fish moment. It didn't really work - turns out, they just wanted somebody to do it for them. Lesson learned.
Fair warning, this one is a little sad. I wrote this two days after my beloved dog, Juno, crossed the rainbow bridge. It tells a sort of abridged story of her life with my family and I, up until we she had her final sleep. Afterward, I couldn't help but get the thoughts out of my head and onto some (digital) paper.
