Journal
- 2026
- 10-02 October October: Joshua Tree 2.0, Bookrank on iPhone, two renames, and a Raspberry Pi coming to test my OS on real hardware.
- 09-21 Kernel Late September: my operating system now runs apps in protected boxes, and my AI assistant Samantha learned a lot.
- 09-11 Scale September: 30 apps live, paid apps on sale at $1, and a program that taught itself Duolingo chess.
- 08-24 Accurate August: I checked my notes against reality and found rejections, dead keys and a journal that was not publishing.
- 07-31 Renames July: Epiphany reached the App Store, half my apps got new names, and I fixed bugs and leaks nobody had noticed.
- 05-29 Spring February to May: I started building my own operating system, grew my apps, and cut my projects from thirty to ten.
