Really looking forward to speaking at @kcdc.bsky.social this week, seeing all my friends, and nerding out. I'll be talking about Reticulum and doing a classic workshop—Putting the D&D in TDD. I am not, however, looking forward to the drive. See ya in 600 miles!

CORE—the Central Ohio Radio Enthusiasts—are meeting on September 1st. This month we have Mark Noble KE8BZW presenting D-STAR: Digital Voice, Data, and Callsign Routing. Details are in the link and please RSVP so we can make sure we buy enough pizza. Link: core.radio

I bought an amateur radio repeater. It's currently on the air and awaiting transferal of the trusteeship. Plus some additional equipment so I can get it properly set up on the Ohio Link Network. Perhaps I've gotten a little too deep into this hobby.

I'm gonna go with this.

Need time, more than anything. But the core.radio group I started has been digging deep into DMR of late. And I do have radios. So it could happen. Lately, been working on building Hubshack. Browser-based rig control software. Hoping to release a very basic implementation soon.

I sometime banter with my AI. The smarter models have a pretty decent sense of humor. Or at least they stochastically fake one pretty well. Here's a fun little interaction with OpenClaw running GPT-5.1.

International Women's Day is a fantastic thing to celebrate. May all the women in my life—and those not in my life for that matter—have a wonderful day. Of course, this year it landed on my birthday. So you'll forgive me if I also call it International Guy Day. Just this once.

I'm starting a new meetup called CORE—the Central Ohio Radio Enthusiasts. It's for radio and radio-adjacent interests. It's not a ham radio club, we talk about that, but also GMRS, mesh networks like Meshtastic, Reticulum, and HaLow, software-defined radio, and shortwave listening.

A replacement for HamClock, which will shutdown forever come June, has been release. It's called OpenHamClock. Looks pretty swish! openhamclock.com

Found this nifty tool to create animated Mermaid diagrams. I've just messed with the free version but it's pretty cheap and even has a pay as you go if you just need a couple. It's at animerm.ai if you think it'd be useful.

Vibe coding browser-based AI stuff. And asking the important questions.

RAG !== vectors. The R is for retrieval—i.e. get useful stuff. You can do that lots of ways: 📄 Full-text search 🧾 SQL query ⚡ @redis.io key lookup 🧠 Yes, even vector search It's not how you retrieve—it's what you retrieve. Get the right data. Feed it to your #LLM. That’s the magic of #RAG.

I'm looking to subscribe to cool stuff. Where and by whom do you get your developer news?

I was able to talk @redis.io into putting together a happy hour at Forbidden Root in Easton the night before @stirtrek.com. Just a chance to network, share some food and drink, and talk with nerds.

Redis 8 adds a new data type called vector sets. I wrote some code to play with them and shared some my thoughts on when I think they're useful. Check out the code and thoughts at guy.dev/2025/04/15/a.... Or—if you prefer Medium—at medium.com/the-guy-wire....

More ChatGPT images. "Using this image, please render me as a comic book superhero. I am a software developer, public speaker, D&D nerd, and ham radio operator. Come up with a clever superhero name for me and incorporate that into the image. Make it look like a panel from a classic comic book."

Science confirms that I am as white as you can get. But does that Danish bit mean I'm part Viking?

I wrote a blog post about using async generators in #TypeScript to stream #Bigfoot sightings out of @redis.io. It’s fast, memory-efficient, and weirdly fun. 👣 Read it 👉 guy.dev/2025/04/01/f... Code 👉 github.com/guyroyse/asy...

My chat on #TheForwardSlash with James Carman from Callibrity is live! We got into @redis.io, dev advocacy, radio + Redis plane tracking (not that plane), remote work, TypeScript love-hate, and more. All over the place—in the best way. 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/4fFd...

🌤️ I’m a radio nerd and—like a lot of radio nerds—I have a backyard weather station transmitting weather data 24/7. 🧑‍💻 I'm also a software nerd and—like a lot of software nerds—I can't just look at the data, I gotta do something cool with it.

Pretty solid bit of swag from @hero.dev here at @devnexus.bsky.social. Wendy was great and let me have it a bit early.

Redis 8 is gonna be out in just a few short weeks and—along with numerous performance improvements—it comes with a host of new data types. One of them is native JSON support which lets you store JSON as, well, JSON, rather than serializing it and shoving it in a string.

Guy Royse @guy.dev · 18/02/2025

💡 This shared architecture lets me write fast, simple code—code that matches Redis' design metaphor. And since that single-threaded event loop processes requests sequentially—I rarely need more than a single connection to Redis!

Working on my talk Florida Man Uses Cache as Database for @codemash.bsky.social next week. Working on the slides, but the repo is ready to be played with at github.com/guyroyse/flo.... It uses @redis.io's vector search to find the Florida Man news you need. Try it out and let me know how it goes!

Coding completed, exercises written, slides done. Ready to give my workshop on software-defined radio at @codemash.bsky.social in just a few short days. Give it a look if you're so inclined and kick the tires if you're just a little bit extra. github.com/guyroyse/plu...

Working on the slides for my software-defined radio workshop that I'll be giving at @codemash.bsky.social next month and I found this gorgeous photo of a vintage receiver. Look! Radio buttons!

I've been working on using Redis and image embeddings to create a Meme Twin Finder. Here's what I ended up with. The repo is a bit rough, but feel free to check it out at github.com/guyroyse/mod....

Although, honestly, I think I like this match better.

I don't always prepare talks for @jfokus.se, but when I do, it find meme twins.

Just a casual day of receiving amateur radio packets into JavaScript and parsing the data in them.
