Space realism movies Compared

This would be a comparison of several "space realism" movies, such as 2001, Moon, Gravity, Interstellar, Europa Report. If I've seen Life by then, I'll throw that in too.

"Interstellar" review three years later

I did a podcast of the film when it originally came out, now I revisit it. How does it hold up? Did the recent changes in the US political situtation affect my perception of the film? Why Mann being the anti-progressive strawman was a huge missed opportunity for a more nuanced message.

Creating a Docker-powered Gitlab server

I recently started flirting with Docker in production, which for me means one server running one app. In this case, Gitlab and Gitlab runner. How did I set it up? How has the experience been so far?

Drupal.md

Drupal

General drupal coding

I co-maintain several modules such as Flag, Examples, and others, but my time is limited to work on them. I'd like to use my Pateron supported time to help me keep working on them!

Avoid Deep Hurting! Deployment beyond git

This would be to support me attending events. This year's talk is about automating your Drupal deployments using open source. No bamboo or CI server as a Service!

Setting up Solr with Docker and Drupal 8

I take you through a step-by-step guide setting up a Solr docker container and configuring it to index a Drupal 8 site. I'll demystify facets and field configuration. This alternatively could be a session I would write later this year.

#Making stuff

PiMate 300

I document my on-going project to put a Single Board Computer into an eMate 300. Lots of photos, tips, mistakes, and challenges. Patreon support helps me buy parts!

Picture frames

I recently started making picture frames using my woodshop. I'll walk you through what I use, and offer up photos and experiences.

General household remodeling

I live in a 100 year old house that needs a lot of work. I've done quite a bit already with only some research on the internet and trial and error. 100 year old houses have a lot of history which you need to account for when doing any sort of remodeling. I'll tell you what I've learned, as well as review the projects I've done.
