Buy a coffee

I launched this blog in 1995. Since then, we have published 1603 articles. It's all free and means a lot of work in my spare time. I enjoy sharing knowledge and experiences with you.

A small slice of my data processing time each month

It's ongoing work running this site and what's really great is ongoing support. Here's a sense of what goes into this site: research topics for discussion. Manage the Tech stuff: website, SEO, graphics, email, back-end servers, DNS routing, edge servers. Create advertisements and load the campaigns in Google Ads. Manage the social media forums (Facebook, Reddit, Twitter). Write updates to the blog. Keep GitHub up-to-date.

$4.50 — A large cappuccino at my local

Things just work better with coffee! I like to take the kids to school then grab a cappuccino from my local on the way home before beginning the things that take mental energy.

$4.50

$8.99 — A month of Netflix for some quiet nights in

A lot of the work on this happens after hours when I should be relaxing on the couch. Help me make it so and I promise to keep off the devices for a bit!

$8.99

$11.50 — Fund a month of email delivery

This site sends out thousands of emails every month. For that volume and to ensure deliverability, I need to pay MailChimp.

$11.50

$20 — Pay for one month of AWS storage fees

Websites are not free. The storage alone takes some cash. If you are willing to lighten the burden, we can keep this site up online.

$20

$30 — One hour's pay for a graphics artist

Art doesn't create itself without a hand to guide it. I can't draw, so I need to pay others to help.

$30

$45 — Pay a full-stack web developer for one hour

Much of the work on this site happens on weekends which means giving up time with the kids. Help me pay the developers so I can give my kids more time.

Wish I Owned a Time Machine

Wish I Owned a Time Machine

About 45 seconds

Wish I owned a time machine and could travel back a couple of years.

I would live out of the same apartment I’m in now.
I would focus on writing the code to get my own ideas off the ground.
Oh, and I would take the Lotto numbers too! That way I could be comfortable too.

Only a couple of flaws to this logic… First time-travel, would the destination be the same universe and would those numbers infact be the same for the given date? Second, wouldn’t the act of traveling back in time create a paradox that would effectively dissuade my travel back in time?

Also, assuming that the Lotto numbers did in-fact work, I’m not sure if I could cash it as I’m not Japanese (or have a PR). Not sure about the legal aspect of the Lotto system here. Maybe I would have to ask the GF to cash it?
