Hey everyone. So yeah, long time no see. I’ve been busy. Like, really busy. Far too busy, even. You know how things can get. I mean hell, what’s it been, like five, six years? I don’t even know at this point. But it’s been a hot minute. I swear I don’t MEAN to forget to update this thing, I mean shit, the wife and I only bought a new house, and like, I’m 40 now, but like, nothing else big has happened or anything. I’m just lazy.

Some good news: I updated the site to use HTTPS. That means that not only did I actually learn how TF SSL works (just means this bitch is secure, baby), I also learned how to implement it on this shithole. I also added a fancy new DNS record called a CNAME. That’s just a fancy word for “an alias,” so now if you type “www.quinbynation.com” or “http://www.quinbynation.com” or, since I enabled SSL, “https://www.quinbynation” it will automatically route you to good old quinbynation.net, but secure. For you non-nerds, this means that if you waste your time signing up for an account, there’s less risk of your info getting stolen should I do something stupid like not updating plugins or letting some nefarious so-and-so access to the site.

Another cool thing is that I’ve been trying not to be a piece of shit, so I’ve been doing some things. Among them are:

• I started learning Python so I can potentially get more into Data Analysis because my job sucks huge amounts of donkey dick, and if I can get a little bit better, I could maybe make $40/hour being an Excel monkey.
• I have also been spending time studying for my CCNA. Why do this along with learning Python? Because if I decide NOT to go into Data Analysis, the CCNA starts to get into automation and DevOps, and Python is heavily used for that.
• Lastly, I have been making my first-ever, real, actual, playable video game. I know, I know. Some of you might say, “But weren’t you making some garbage in RPG Maker like 10 years ago?” The answer is yes. I sure was, and while it was a lot of fun, I was never going to actually finish anything that anyone would enjoy or want to play. I can’t write a cohesive script, and I suck at literally everything design-wise.

Instead, I’m currently working on an incremental (aka “number go up”) game that I will have on here for anyone to play. Is it any good? IDK, I’m not great at programming, so I will freely admit to getting some help from our soon-to-be AI overlords, but it’s a great way to waste some time, and since it has a built-in save system, you can play it for a few minutes, forget about it for a few years, and come back to it again. Sort of like I did with this website! If you want to try it, click on the “Play My Shitty Game!!” link at the top. Let me know how bad it is and what might make it not suck so much!

Anyways, for those who actually still care enough to click the link to this and read it when I actually do remember to post shit, thanks. It means a lot, even if you don’t think so. So thanks for hanging around and reading this garbage. Hopefully, I’ll remember to come back and add another post earlier than 2031.
