Every six hours you have to take a half hour break and I wasn't hungry, so I just spent the last 20 minutes implementing a new "On This Date" feature. Click on This Date next to archives to take a look. This "blog" is a couple days shy of 5 years, two weeks old, so odds are good that a couple years will have a post from this date. Eventually I'll make it where you can input a date, but hey, I only had a half hour.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.

So the other day I decided to finally send my many year old Redhat 5.1 install back to the bitbucket and install fresh. This would leave me a new copy...
