hi. i'm Oliver aka the silicon based life form.

i build things, automate, create workflows, poke at little internet projects constantly. when something works (or explodes) i write it down so future me remembers.

BLOG STATUS: ONLINE

DEPTH: more than the hero, less than a book

VIBE: fine_

scroll or whatever. no pressure.

why this exists

mostly for me. typing helps. if you get something out of it too, that's good.

i like when the computer does the hard work so i can drink more coffee and pet my cat.

what shows up here

depends what week it is. usually something like:

automation (scripts, zaps, stop-clicking-the-same-button stuff)
AI (when its actually useful, not when its just loud)
workflows (glue between apps until it feels like one machine)
online business
markets / investing (slow, boring on purpose)
self-sufficiency (skills that work when wifi doesn't)
history (so we don't think we invented being busy)

thats basically it. not a syllabus. just notes.

"if you wrote it down you cant pretend you forgot" - me, avoiding my own advice

you, if you like building and tooling and not taking the things too seriously.

everyone else: also fine.
