Vera's Journal

Dear Diary,
I recently moved to a new location and last night I met 2 wonderful folks who reingnited my spark in the IT field. I forgot I had a passion for this field because
I couldn't break into the field where I was before. So I had dropped the notion and had forgotten completely about it. I love computers, new and old. And I had forgotten that.
Here's to new beginnings. Can't wait to see what's over that new horizon.

Dear Diary,
Two months have past since the last entry. So much has changed. I finally bought a new laptop, a 12th gen Intel Framework 13. A fully right-to-repair modular laptop.
It has 4 Thunderbolt ports, which are inset to be expansion bays. So that you can have any configuration of ports that you desire. On another note, I'm also looking into astronomy.
Space is always something that has fascinated me. Oh Oh. I also got my liquor serving license. I'm also looking into bartending. I'm back on the night shift, which is perfect for me.
Always the night owl, you know. Welp. There's so much going on, I'm sure I'll be back soon to tell it all.
Until then,

Dear Diary,
Sorry it's been so long since the last entry. I've been deep in research the past couple of weeks. This time it's the Apple ecosystem.
I got my Lenovo Thinkpad T430 set up as a Hackintosh running macOS 12 Monterey. I've got the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. So I figured "Why not? Let's see what macOS has to offer."
So far, I'm actually liking it. I'm actually being more productive than before and this is with underpowered hardware. Image what I could accomplish if I had "Real" hardware.
I find myself actually wanting to work on the website now. And I'm giving a serious think about learning more web engineering skills so I could possibly freelance. But yeah, here we are.
Here's to learning new things,

Dear Diary,
So it's been the first week of the New Year. It has been an interesting week I suppose. I've truly delved into Final Fantasy XIV lore and I find myself falling
in love with the world. Something I never thought would happen. You know I'm antisocial right? Well they implemented a system that allows you to run the main story with NPCs,
thereby making the main story solo friendly. I have also decided to change my character from a Miqo'te to an Au Ra. Which leads me on to the second major thing that happened this week.
I learned about Kobolds from D&D. The lore surrounding them is just so awesome. I find them so fascinating and fitting that I changed my fursona to a Kobold. It fits into my reverence
of Dragons and wanting to provide for my little community. Well, We'll see where the aether currents take us next.
Till Sea Swallows All,

Dear Diary,
Yesterday saw the birth of this site. And I'm so excited to be working on this project. And I know that probably no one will see this, but I've always wanted a space to
call my own. So here is my entry into yesteryear of Web 1.0. To think, very little knowledge is actually needed to build this site. It astounds me that I could have made this over a
decade ago. But here we are. New Year's 2023. My resolution for the next 12 months is to keep with this blog, however sporadic that may be.
See you in the New Year,
