Since both myself and hellNbak were laid off recently, it seems we both have decided to make sure various coding side projects from the past year or so have been brought forward - especially hellNbak. Anyway, enjoy the fruits of NMRC labor.

Haha I wish I could tie this to a single state! It started in Oklahoma where I grew up, and simply expanded from there. Plenty of odd stories here and there in the blog. The book writing has been fun, especially for family and close friends who have been reminding me of weird details I'd forgotten.

Me: "I'm in stealth mode."
Friend: "Ah you've started work at some startup?"
Me: "No, I'm in stealth mode. I've been in stealth mode for decades."
Friend: "Why?"
Me: "Long story..."
I am writing a memoir, been working on it for over a year. I'm calling it Strange Luck, this old blog post from 2018 is one very quick and very partial summation.

Hard to believe fluctuations in the weather (I believe this is the result of #climatechange) as here in Texas it is spring-like sunny weather. I’m making sun tea today, five years ago at this time I was living through the worse winter storm in Texas history with rolling blackouts, water shortages, and many deaths.

This job just posted by my employer, and while GitLab is a remote only employer, this is strictly for a US-based employee. If I know you (and don't think you're a jerk 😉 ) let me know when you apply and I'll put in a good word for you.

Since I have #solar panels, batteries, and no electric bill, I get asked a lot of questions. I now have a Solar FAQ part two to cover new questions since the last Solar FAQ from a couple of years ago.
Part two: https://www.markloveless.net/blog/2024/7/30/solar-faq-part-two
The older part one: https://www.markloveless.net/blog/2022/6/21/solar-faq
