I'm starting a side project called Exoplanet. It's a digital magazine for speculative short fiction (sci-fi, fantasy, and horror). Check it out and consider following along as I figure things out: @Ex0M4g

@DreamForgeMag Thanks so much for the shout-out!

My drabble, "Forget-Me-Bots," was published today in @HorrorTree's Trembling With Fear. A drabble is a story with exactly 100 words, which is a fun writing challenge. Many thanks to the team at Horror Tree for selecting my story!

Hey, I think I know this guy... 😉

I started writing about writing over on Substack. I also write about other stuff on Medium. Links to both are on https://t.co/lBgj85GTT5

The official merch line at #defcon32 is like a generation ship. People are born in the merch line, live their whole lives in the merch line, and die in the merch line with the desperate hope their grandchildren will get some merch. 😉

I've purchased an annual subscription to @jetbrains #IntelliJ Ultimate since 2018. Even with a 40% "continuity discount," I may finally cancel. It isn't easy to justify paying for an IDE when #VSCode is free and handles everything I need to do.

I just landed a new job! It'll take some time to get the necessary clearance, so I'm not quite done with my mini-sabbatical, but it does have an expiration date now.

I haven't been on here since it was the bird app, but I got laid off two weeks ago and have some free time for a while. I don't know if X will keep me out of trouble so much as it will get me into it, but we'll see.

AWS has basically quit the FrontEnd field. As goes @JoeEmison, so goes the industry. AWS just has too many steps, too much latency / complexity, and nondeterministic pricing mysteries in this space.

@SignumU Being a dog is so much fun! Why change back?

[Patrick Lee @patrickdlee]

Coming back to Twitter after six years and I barely remember posting any of these old tweets.

[Patrick Lee @patrickdlee]

Geeking out on a Saturday night with Vagrant, Packer, Puppet, and AWS CloudFormation. Yeah, this is fun for me.

[Patrick Lee @patrickdlee]

Wait a minute. I have a Twitter account? And I've sent more than 1000 tweets? When did that happen?

[Patrick Lee @patrickdlee]

@scott_nicholson @BoiseCodeCamp No, I don't think I did, but the name sounds familiar.

[Patrick Lee @patrickdlee]

Slides from my @BoiseCodeCamp talk today on Vagrant and Puppet: http://t.co/ZNHexYihfi

[Patrick Lee @patrickdlee]

@WillHise Thanks! I appreciate it. Live demos are always exciting. I'll streamline the talk before @BoiseCodeCamp on the 16th.

I didn't realize that Temple Run 2 on my iPad posted to Twitter on my behalf. I wouldn't mind too much, but it was a terrible score.

Java at work. PHP on the side. Ruby and Python in edX courses from Berkeley. And Google to help me out when I get thoroughly confused.

@ryHanson Working at @Bodybuildingcom is fascinating from a tech perspective. Lots of challenges, cool projects, & really smart people.
