A Volume Knob for the macOS Music App
My keyboard's volume keys turn the system volume, not Music's. Every fix I could buy was either wrong or overkill — and then I remembered what was in the drawer
A Window Per Agent Team
Three iTerm2 windows, one per team, a tab per agent — through tmux control mode. Plus the tab-title bug that took two wrong fixes before I found the right one
What a Claude Army Shares
The last post sorted my agents by how much each group shares. Then I gave a second team a shared day plan and found out that sharing is not one thing — it's four, and mixing them up is how you get a hive mind you did not ask for
Organizing a Claude Army
I went chat, IDE, CLI like everyone else. Then I tried a multi-agent framework, couldn't drive it, and walked back to build my own — a dozen agents organized three different ways, sorted by how much each group shares
Sub-Nanosecond at Home, Take Four
The same talk, four slides longer — and almost everything new in it came out of writing the timekeeping pages rather than building the clock
Topics In Timekeeping Is Live
Thirty pages on precise time in datacenters — what limits GNSS accuracy, what traceability actually requires, and how you would know your clock was still right. Not blog posts. Pages I intend to keep correct.
Subsistence Internet
A blackout killed my Internet in fourteen minutes. I wired up a car battery, found both ISPs were fine, restored the gateway — and still could not get online
Sub-Nanosecond at Home, with GNSS and AI
Building a sub-nanosecond clock from a $1000 parts list, and what four months of AI-assisted research actually looked like
Proxmox On-Site and Off-Site Backup
Which failures on-site backup covers, which ones need off-site, and why the amount of data decides both
Entry-Level Failure Resilience with Proxmox VE
What each kind of failure actually costs you in downtime, and the smallest configuration that shortens it

Considerations for Clock Sync Daemons and Proxmox
The Last Nanoseconds to UTC
Is sub-nanosecond UTC sync possible? Literally no. Practically yes — and the difference is the whole point
