Just putting more into the ether... now that its been another 4 years.

I am still alive and kicking.

Still doing funny stuff as always.  Thinking of all the old regulars, Philipma, Citronick, Crackfoo, Vosk, and all the rest I havent mentioned... you know who you are.

Was on the ass end of a medical condition for many years which allowed me to be more active on the web back then.

Finally pulled out of it slowly;  ended up getting a job offer.   Paid to move to Wisconsin from California in 2022...  I repair CNC machines for a living contracted to a major equipment manufacturer (they make massive vehicles/equipment).  Was too good of a deal to pass up;  the only issue was my health.   Luckily it was timed right and I've been able to make things work for me and haven't been into the hospital for anything major since 2021.

Bought a house out here in Oct 2024.  Only took me a year and a half of hard work and saving.

Been writing some utilities for BTC related activities.  If people know how to do a basic bit of gumshoe work, they can find them... but they are also still works in progress.  Running a BTC full node from home; along with all the other servers/services that I initially left in California but moved here to home in December.

If one of my projects pays out... Which I have high hopes;  Ill definitely share the love considering the amount of payout from a small win on the main project will be world changing for me.  It's got odds like solo mining;  but it is possible to get a win nonetheless.   The hard part has been learning how to do cuda integrations, but I think I have a hold of it now and video cards have so many cores and so much memory;  its a lot more promising than when I was using conventional processing techniques.

I have a whole separate idea, but it will rely on the original bitcoin wallet source for a certain aspect of it (don't wanna give away the project just yet).
