Hey, I'm Jeff!
Welcome to my corner.
I'm a self-taught, hobbyist developer, IT generalize and junkie, and all around old school metaller. Welcome to my site! This site is somewhat of a mix-tape/reflection of myself.
Here you'll find my thoughts about programming languages and software development in general. I'm no computer scientist, so don't expect deep dives from an expert's perspective. I'm a guy messing about with stuff that he has no right to. I mostly like Rust, but will explore and write about other languages from time to time. I'll also write about my love of heavy metal music, which hopefully might influence exploration of your own. The Projects page will contain a bit of a dive into whatever mini-project I'm fiddling about with.
I long for a web where you're not fed fake AI generated slop or exploited by an algorithm.
I will never employ ads, trackers, or ask for money. My content is here for you to enjoy and benefit from. In putting myself out there, I hope to inspire others to do the same.
What's New
I'm going to spend some time over the next while and update some of the very old content I started to write in the spring of 2022. I know a lot more about Rust now and I think it's high time some of this old content be freshened.
Rust Crate of the Week
The Rust crate of the week is opendal. I'm using it, together with Shuttle, to explore using Cloudflare R2 storage to host assets, such as markdown posts for a blog. In the future I hope to also use Cloudflare R2 for hosting photos...as I want to build a photography oriented blog...eventually. :)
Special Announcements
The Christmas Code Hunt from Shuttle is on for 2024!
