Quick Thursday notes. Spent the morning chasing a Docker networking issue on a client’s Azure VM. Turned out to be a DNS thing inside the container, not the network itself. Cost me an hour and half a pot of coffee.
Pushed three small commits to a side project this afternoon. Wrote maybe 200 words of actual documentation, which honestly counts as a win around here.
That’s it. Back tomorrow.
Slow and steady. Most days.
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 Night School System I’ve been trying to formalize my evening learning block instead of just bouncing between tabs. Too many nights ended with me watching some random video and learning nothing useful. Time to fix that. Set up daily research sessions Defined research topics: automation, income streams, efficiency Scheduled evening research…
DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: Mar 2, 2026 What We Worked On Spent most of today getting the cloud side of the AI stack dialed in. Local Ollama handles the routine stuff fine, but for the heavier jobs I needed something with more horsepower behind it. Pulled the trigger on a plan, pointed it at the…
What We Worked On Short day. Knocked out a memory bug and sorted the platform. Platform Updates Pushed the AI platform to the latest release Full diagnostic came back clean Wired up the messaging platform I’d been putting off Memory Fix Default embeddings provider was flaky — swapped to an alternative Search is pulling the…
