Unfortunately fewer posts

Something about the first few months of the year, along with a re-assessment of desires or priorities, made for a drop off in posting. Probably also bad practice. I should practice writing daily.

Currently I'm working on a mini project to see how easily wireless handshakes can be captured at high speed for offline-cracking. There's a lot of little hitches involved, not least the long tasklist of work-related items and demands for different people that interfere.

The other project of course is reading, finding some time to get out of the house and go read in a cafe somewhere. Also buying some new dress pants, going to IKEA for new apartment lighting, and getting a haircut. All in advance of a trip to Pittsburgh next week (if it doesn't get pushed off again).

Currently I'm finding that my music tastes are slowly switching away from ambient towards synthwave/chillwave.

Yellow banana peppers finally being produced on this one of two plants. Not the hybrid variety, just the regular one. Two different potting soils to try out. At the right you can catch a glimpse of the bare surface of another pot that housed some dill, first successful attempt, until this morning, when I threw it out due to an intense invasion of white mildew of some sort. Planted some belated garlic instead.
