Hello world!
Hello world. I’m James — twenty years in IT and DevOps, and this is the new site. I’ll be writing about what I actually run in production and what breaks at 2am. More soon.

DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: 2026-03-08 Sunday brain-dump. Not much code today, mostly clearing tabs and killing small annoyances. Pulled a new model in Ollama. It runs fine, but the container was hoarding RAM like it was free. Dropped the context window and it’s stable now. Tradeoff: longer prompts will choke. I’ll fix that when I…
What We Worked On System Health Morning admin pass. Checked API credit balances across the providers we lean on — nobody close to a cap, but one had crept up faster than I’d expected so I’ll keep an eye on it. Then dug through the scheduled jobs in n8n. Two had been silently failing for…

Spent 40 minutes chasing a resolution failure before I noticed I’d left a stale systemd-resolved config from a test I ran two weeks ago. Killed the file, restarted the service, moved on. Not every outage is a…
What We Worked On System Maintenance Memory architecture refinements Config optimization for OpenClaw Spent most of the morning untangling the memory layer. Nova’s retrieval has been getting sloppy on longer conversations, so I rewired how context windows persist across sessions. Not glamorous work, but it’s the kind that quietly makes everything downstream better. Also pushed…
DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: 2026-03-20 Friday. Writing this between deploys and a cold coffee. Not much to report today. Mostly housekeeping. I spent an hour pruning old branches off a few GitHub repos I’d forgotten about. Two of them had open Dependabot PRs from 2024. Good reminder that “I’ll get to it later” is a…
What We Worked On Prompt Bundle Business Spent the morning digging through a prompt bundles directory. Over 35 bundles sitting there, most of them mediocre, a handful worth a second look. The “buy a prompt pack” market feels saturated to me, but there’s still niches nobody’s touched yet. Explored bundles directory – found 35+ prompt…
