Thoughts on technology, software, and artificial intelligence.
I built an Android app that replaces the ConnectBot + SocksDroid two-app combo with a single integrated browser. Here's how it works under the hood: SOCKS5 over JSch, AndroidX WebKit ProxyController, and Android Keystore credential storage.
For a decade I told my mentees 'ideas are cheap, execution is everything.' AI broke that aphorism. When execution is free, the only thing that matters is taste.
Announcing PennyClaw, an open-source AI agent built in Go that runs 24/7 on GCP's free tier e2-micro VM. One-click deploy, zero cost, forever.
My GitHub contribution heatmap looks like a 10x developer's dream. But behind the wall of green is a stalled side project and a hard lesson: activity and impact are not the same thing.
I vibe-coded a stock market heat map in 15 minutes. Then I spent hours fixing data bugs and untangling an over-engineered caching nightmare. Here's what I learned about the gap between AI prototyping and production.
OpenRouter data shows that AI agents now consume more tokens than humans. Here's what that means for the future of computing.
I delegated the management of my personal life to an AI agent. It worked surprisingly well — and it reveals how human time is becoming the API that AI orchestrates.
A personal exploration of the shift from passive chatbots to autonomous AI agents, with hands-on experiences using OpenClaw and Manus, and why 2026 marks the beginning of the agentic AI era.
Who needs charts on the command line? If you have ever been stuck at an ssh prompt staring a bunch of data gnuplot is a must have tool. I was looking at response times over an ssh prompt and realized how I missed MS Excel. All this data would make much more sense as a chart! Apparently there are others who would agree with me and that’s the reason gnuplot exists. Enter gnuplot gnuplot is a command…
Cloud9 is a cloud based IDE that works completely within the browser. It even provides a full linux terminal within the browser. It is ideal to try out some open source language/framework quickly without doing the full setup.
