I did poorly in high school. F’s finally after years of C’s and D’s coming up through junior high. Instead of homework, I spent my nights pushing my 75mhz win95 box further and further online. Geocities and early Bungie games. That phone line screamed moving bits around at 9600 baud. AOL discs piled up as I spent their promised “100 free hours” each to access the proto-internet. HTML and game-modding led to ColdFusion and IIS servers.

Blog’d been kind quiet, yeah? I picked it up to write some stuff and found that my old friend travis-ci.org wasn’t really a thing anymore. I used Travis to build and publish this site for many moons really reliably. It was one of the OG continuous integration and deployment sites out there. They went all corporate or something.
So to dodge the corpos, I threw in with Microsoft over at GitHub using their Actions platform to publish this pile of bytes you’re reading.

It has some really neat fundamental concepts and sneaks in some clever stuff like interprocess messaging.
