Write Only Memories
Working in security, sometimes I feel like the technical controls, policies and trainings only go so far. What we need to secure the company is a miracle.

As I get older, I become more cranky. What used to excite me now frustrates me. Chief among these frustrations is social media. Once I poked my friends mercilessly on Facebook, now I can't stand TikTok or Instagram. I no longer have any social media, and it makes life hard, as everything from poetry slams...

After the upper case and key switches were put together I started wiring. I started by following the guide on dactyl git repository but the lack of updates and details quickly drove the project in to the ground. My original intention was to minimize learning and just to blindly follow the guides. That attitude got... Continue Reading →
