Welcome. This is not a platform.

There is no mission statement. There is no roadmap. There is no call to action.

What this is

This site exists because sometimes I need a place where nothing is expected to work, scale, monetize, alert, automate, or justify its own existence.

It is read only. It is observational. It is allowed to be weird.

What this is not
  • It is not enterprise software
  • It is not a startup
  • It is not a control plane
  • It is not here to impress anyone
Context, for those who care

I have worked in telecom for roughly 30 years, across layers 1 through 7, usually in places where the network is rural, the budget is thin, and the expectations are unreasonable.

I build systems. I stare at metrics. I trace failure paths. This is the only skill set I have, so this is how I play.

What you will find here
  • Logs that are interesting for no clear reason
  • Metrics that are not trying to tell you what to do
  • Visuals that exist because they look nice
  • Experiments that may stop mid thought
  • Games, notes, and other questionable decisions
Why this exists at all

Sometimes you need a place to do stupid shit. Sometimes other people find that useful or funny. Sometimes no one does, and that is also fine.

If you are looking for answers, this site may disappoint you. If you are looking for curiosity without obligation, you are in the right place.

No alerts. No actions. No promises.
