I'll be traveling to Tulsa at 5am for minor oral surgery, so I'm sending this now unpolished rather than sending it a little more polished at midnight.
Here's a picture of sunflowers by the shed out back:
Website Joining Army
The website is moving to a new virtual instance tonight. The reason for the switch is more efficient hardware by the ARM chip manufacturer which is less expensive to operate, so Amazon Web Services charges less. We're being charged for old and new presently, tonight I plan on turning off the old.
Since we need several hundred dollars right now, there's been a license sale going on that was extended through Labor Day until tomorrow morning.
There could possibly be some downtime tonight while the Army web server switch happends, so right now is a great time to visit one of the links:
License Me to License for Work for $18 USD or Donate to Send Any Amount
Open Source on Github
New software I write will be for educational purposes, documented on YouTube, be open source, work on multiple platforms immediately, and distributed on GitHub, I think.
Motived individuals can use the code to build distributions, learn to program, whatever, because I'm spending too much time thinking about infrastructure and packaging rather than being led around by the universe (letting my pride get in the way of whatever The Plan is I Couldn't Fathom AnyWay).
I'm planning to start with a .NET Maui Blazor app, Hello-World.app here:

Teaching to Program on YouTube
I'll explain what an "ARM" chip is, what a .NET Maui Blazor application is, and who GitHub is, and where waldo might be, on our YouTube channel.

The videos will be produced, not live feeds like I attempted the other day. I'm figuring out some way to do "office hours" asynchronously rather than on a live feed.
I'm remembering to wave and say, "Hi!"
I appreciate your patience. I've stopped planning and started following. This last month has been better. Thanks for your support.
Love,
Joe
