People keep forgetting that Dogma was also about getting Matt Damon home

Added a Solar Savings calculator to the site. It can tell you how much you can save with solar, or how many panels you need to offset your usage for the year. powerusage.app/solar #buildinpublic

Solar Savings calculator showing daily, monthly, and annual savings for solar panels, with configurable assumptions.

I'll try not to spend my Facebook Consumer Privacy Settlement windfall all in one place.

I wrote a Power Usage calculator because I wanted to understand the real cost of my home lab and other electronic devices. Seattle gives the option to move to time of use billing, and I wanted details. . . . and then there was even more scope creep, so I built: powerusage.app #buildinpublic

Power Usage calculator showing the daily, monthly, and annual power cost of specific electronics.

Can't tell whether there is supposed to be a /s there. People fear nuclear, despite modern reactor designs learning from those mistakes. There was 1 direct death from Fukushima. You know the names because they were scary, not because they actually killed a lot of people.

With other projects, I'm using it headless for more complex automated workflows. Still working on getting longer running tasks, so I'm using n8n to give it a "do something" poke.

Claude Code . . . . what happened? Bad auto-update on Mac? Instances running on linux still work. 😢

Reached a new milestone! All image assets are procedurally generated. Still significant fit and finish work to do on the project, but art changes are now much easier.

Not to brag, but I am a former mathlete. Good thing Claude is better at math than I am.

It's getting there. Too bad I forgot how to math and can't calculate angles properly.

Codebase is ~2500 lines, with ~100 lines of README.md and other instructions. Tried to refactor how the game tracks game pieces and renders enemy locations. It was a constant game of whack-a-bug.

gemini cli stats from today's usage. On the AI Pro plan, and I ran out of tokens for 2.5-pro, so it switched to 2.5-flash. Performance still seemed good.

Good to dive into personal projects again.
