Welcome to my mess.

This is a personal playground for experiments: stained glass, photos, music servers, Linux boxes, and whatever else I feel like breaking today.

Currently tinkering with:

  • Inventory systems for Mack Brink Art Glass
  • Self-hosted photo and music servers
  • Random code experiments and projects

Pick a rabbit hole

Some of the less messy corners of the mess.

Nerd Stuff & Experiments

The part where I try things, break things, and occasionally fix them again.

Servers & self-hosting

  • Ubuntu boxes running web, photo, and music services
  • Backups, RAID arrays, and other ways to avoid losing everything
  • Reverse proxies, SSL, and the usual “why isn’t this working?” fun

Code & tools

  • PHP and MariaDB apps for inventory and show management
  • Small scripts that automate boring things
  • Experiments with galleries, exports, and reports

What this site is

  • A sandbox for trying out layouts, themes, and ideas
  • A parking lot for side projects and half-finished ideas
  • Occasionally, a reminder to go make more glass instead

Random bits from the gallery

Some small pieces that make me happy.
