My big guy loves lying on a comfy blanket looking out the window. I don’t blame him.

Busy weekend! Just launched xPing, a cross-platform network monitor with a PyQt6 GUI & curses-based CLI.
See live latency, jitter & packet loss across hosts with beeps, sorting & exports.
Simple. Fast. Cross-platform.

🚀 Just launched PacketPaper. It captures your live network traffic and turns it into generative art.
Each packet becomes a glowing arc across a digital nebula, circuit board, or sky.
🧠 Python + Scapy + Pillow
🔗 Open Source: github.com/cculver78/Pa...
Your packets deserve to be pretty.

I thought the only way to get Seacrets spiced rum was to make the 5-hour drive to Ocean City. Then I’m walking through ShopRite Liquors and spot it sitting there on the shelf like it’s been waiting for me. Smooth, spiced, and zero traffic… can’t beat that.

Just dropped WireWarden - a lightweight PyQt6 GUI for controlling WireGuard VPNs on Linux.
Auto-detects configs, shows live status in color, bring tunnels up or down with a single click.
No terminals. No nonsense.

Just finished making a big batch of chicken, carrots, and sweet potatoes topper for my big guy, Mack. He eats it so fast I don’t have to worry about plating or garnish.

Went from 100 to 60 in a day, so time to break out the jacket and new hat on the dog walk.

This is pretty funny. I'm pretty sure, in the videos I saw, that both protestors AND law enforcement were wearing masks. Why are the ICE agents and other feds wearing masks? What do THEY have to hide? IMO, law enforcement should properly identify themselves.

Its not a huge amount, but totally worth the pet insurance. At least I'll get back $1300 of the $2k.

Just cooked up 20lbs of pork and carrots for the doggo as his topper. That should last about 2 weeks. It was a great sale on pork this week.

Woke up to fog thick enough to turn my backyard into a rainforest. Birds chirping, everything damp and quiet, like nature’s own white noise machine.

Today’s coffee traveled all the way from El Salvador, just to be brewed in my office Nespresso and served in a Disney “Grumpy” mug with half the paint worn off and the faint smell of despair. ☕️💼😒 #SingleOriginSadness #ElSalvadorToSadDesk
