There are many others like it, but this is mine.</p> <h2 id="in-the-beginning">In the beginning</h2> <p>After nearly two decades on the production side of newspapers, namely ad and page layout, I’ve reached a milestone.</p> <p>In 2011, I was laid off from a newspaper job, back then my goal was to start a website production business. Nothing big, nothing complicated, I mainly wanted to do the kind of thing I’m doing with this personal blog. My goal was to come up with simple but elegant designs for image campaigns. My pitch was going to be: if you’re relying on websites like Facebook, the thing is, sometimes Facebook doesn’t show your potential customers your new content until days later, sometimes too late. I thought it’d be a cinch. One kid was already in school, the other a toddler. I’d crank out content during naptime! When I got rolling, it’d be time to get back to daycare!</p> https://harmless-upgraded.net/posts/post-2026-04-24/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://harmless-upgraded.net/posts/post-2026-04-24/ <p>It has been about 15 months since my last post, and simultaneously life has been busy but going at a snail&rsquo;s pace. One of the things that keeps me going is my interest in tinkering with technology.</p>
