31\. Mar. 2025 This is my /now page and is something I got inspired from Derek Sivers. The idea is to write something short, something “you’d tell a friend you hadn’t seen in a year.” Last Update: March 2025 Where I am ---------- I am still living in the Den Haag, Netherlands, together with my wonderful wife Sarah. Trying to make a new website while participating in the Full-Stack TypeScript & React Bootcamp from Flavio Scopes. What I am doing --------------- It took ages to update my website, the last update was probably sometime last year when I recreated the page with Hugo. But I’m not happy with Hugo, so I’m going to try something new. This time I created my website with Astro. It’s a site generator written in TypeScript, and togethe rwith Tailwind CSS, it is a great combination. In my more or less 9-to-5 job, I’m a software engineer and I’m trying to get into DevSecOps. We use Java, TypeScript and Python to make software for our customers. We set up services in Docker and Kubernetes for our internal development team to keep them happy. Getting fit ----------- Since last September, we have a Running Pad at home and I am doing well in terms of fitness. As well as trying to run at least 20 km each week, I can fold it and also move it under my desk and walk while I work. It was one of the best decisions we made at the end of last year. What I am reading ----------------- Currently I am reading the Bootcamp script and the TypeScript Handbook. I am also reading Clean Code book to get a better understanding of how to write clean code. When I have some spare time, I am reading through Derek Sivers Book How to Live. _A masterpiece. The best thing he’s ever made._ I have to say it definitivly has 27 conflicting answers. Did not get to the conclusion yet. I also started with Kill Decision from Daniel Suarez. I don’t know if I can finish it, as I am not a regular reader and it is a bit difficult get back into the story when you have to put it down for a while. © 2025 cbrueggenolte.de. All rights reserved.

_This is what I’m up to as of April 2, 2025._ * **Working on a Choicescript game tentatively titled Psychotronic Burst.** * **Working on a TADS parser interactive short inspired by Black Sabbath’s album _Paranoid_**, **to be released via my** **mailing list** * **Finished a Video Game History video on the Fairchild Channel F, to be released 4/3** * **Editing a narrative analysis video of Sierra On-Line’s “King’s Quest II” likely out 4/10** * **Trying to find time to draw** * **I’ve been reading comics via Marvel Unlimited for the past couple years, starting with Fantastic Four #1.** **Currently mired in the 2016 Civil War II event.** * **Participating in the #365Games wherein I post a short video discussing a game that was important to me.** * Got paid a pro rate to write some short fiction. * Transitioned my books from Amazon to a shop hosted here * Watched the Netflix series Warrior Nun. Like Umbrella Academy, it takes an overly edgy comic and elevates the premise. Not bad, sad we won’t be getting more. * Launched a GoFundMe to help cover my cat’s medical costs now that the insurance company is refusing to help. * I’m currently caught up to early 2015, the point at which the company is trying to position the Inhumans as a replacement for mutants due to Fox still owning the rights to the X-Men. I’m tempted to start over or do a DC readthrough instead. For now I persist. * Kathy Rain 2, a game that I did some narrative design work for, is in Beta. I’m looking forward to the release; it’s a cool adventure game, and a nice credit for my CV. I am as yet unemployed. * I’m going to make a go of being a full-time solo game developer in 2025. This will involve scaling up from the week-long and month-long projects I’d been creating as profile pieces to games that’ll take me 3-6 months to complete – something substantive enough that I feel like I can charge for it. * I’ve also moved all my game dev videos to a different channel. * I still live in Chicago with my girlfriend and our cats, Sidhe and Fog. We’re all unemployed at the moment. * I’ve picked up a copy of Stephen King’s “Bag of Bones” to try and get myself back into the habit of reading again. Thus far I have yet to accomplish this. * I’ve paused the novel I was working on. The financial situation is a bit dire to spend time on a project that won’t see returns for a year or longer. This is one of the realities of being a commercial artist. * I’ve deleted my Twitter, don’t post to facebook, and neglect Mastodon. I am currently posting to Bluesky, where my account has somehow accrued 2k followers. I think I’ve ended up on a lot of lists. I’ll be trying to engage there more frequently. _This is a Now page.

### The Corps December 13, 2000 — the day I stepped onto the legendary yellow footprints at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. Those footsteps marked the beginning of a journey that would shape my perspective on life and lay the foundation for the man I would become. I deployed twice to Iraq. The first was in November 2002, attached to the Marine Expeditionary Brigade in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). The second came just a few months later. On March 19, 2003, I crossed the Line of Departure (LOD) as part of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, again with the Marine Expeditionary Brigade. I remained in-country through July 2003, serving through the completion of the first offensive. After returning home, I was attached to the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit Special Operations Capable (MEU SOC) aboard the USS Belleau Wood (LHA-3). I often refer to it as “the MEU that would never be,” because unlike most MEUs that operate as maritime forces, we were re-deployed back into Iraq. In July 2004, we assumed control of the Karbala, An Najaf, and Al Qadisiyah provinces, eventually completing one of the longest land-based deployments for a MEU at that time — over seven months on the ground. Much to my surprise, I left the Marine Corps on December 13, 2005 — five years to the day from when it all began. I transitioned to the Reserves between my EAS and 2007, but eventually stepped away from that chapter as well. ### The Defense Contractor Between 2006 and 2011, I worked as a Defense contractor, providing Subject Matter Expertise (SME) in geospatial technologies to the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and NATO allies including Canada (CA), the United Kingdom (UK), and Australia (AUS). During this time, I held a variety of roles — analyst, technical architect, project manager, and program manager — focused on the design and implementation of enterprise systems that supported range management and sustainment operations across the globe. In 2011, I deployed to Afghanistan as the lead SME responsible for the development and rollout of an enterprise GIS capital asset system designed for the Afghan Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Interior. It was one of the most challenging and rewarding projects of my career — blending technology, cross-cultural collaboration, and mission-critical execution in an active conflict zone. ### **The Founder** In March 2011, while deployed in Afghanistan, I was invited to join the founding team of Sucuri. At the time, it was just three of us—curious minds exploring a project with no bigger ambition than creating something meaningful and maybe earning a little extra cash. By January 2012, we realized the potential and made the leap to go full-time. I served as Chief Operating Officer (COO) from 2011 to 2014, helping lay the foundation of the company. My focus was on scaling our operational infrastructure—support, finance, administration, and more. At every step, our guiding question was: _How do we deliver a high-quality service that truly makes a difference, in a way that is sustainable, repeatable, and scalable?_ In June 2014, I was appointed CEO by the board, taking on a renewed focus on the company’s strategy and long-term direction. I worked closely with my friend and business partner, Daniel Cid—Sucuri’s founder and the creator of OSSEC—as we steered the company into its next chapter. The questions evolved: _What problem are we really solving? What unique value are we bringing to the market?_ It became less about building just a business and more about building a solution that mattered. #### An Exit Arrives On April 4th, 2017, Daniel and I signed the deal to sell Sucuri to GoDaddy. At the time of acquisition, I was appointed General Manager (GM) of Sucuri, which became a specialized unit within GoDaddy’s broader Security Product Group. By October 2017, I was given the opportunity to lead the entire Security Product Group as General Manager—overseeing a much larger portfolio while continuing to advocate for strong, accessible website security solutions at scale. ### **Exploring New Ideas** In the fall of 2016, Daniel and I started voicing our frustrations with the lack of effective tools to secure our home networks. That conversation sparked an idea. Over the next two years, Daniel began experimenting with a solution that eventually became CleanBrowsing, officially launched in June 2018. By 2020, after our departure from GoDaddy, we found ourselves once again in need of the very tools we had spent a decade building. With the world deep in a global pandemic and our own personal projects lacking adequate protection, we realized we couldn’t rely on free or inactive accounts. So we built NOC.org—founded in 2020—as a solution to our own problem, just like we had with Sucuri. Then in 2022, we launched Trunc. While third in line, its roots actually go back further—originally intended as a fork of Daniel’s OSSEC project. That version never took off due to other priorities, but the need never went away. Years later, with a clearer vision and renewed urgency, we built Trunc to address a growing gap: a simple, affordable way to collect, store, and analyze logs at scale. And in 2024, we released DNSArchive.net, a threat intelligence platform built on the vast amount of DNS data we were collecting across all our platforms. It’s the culmination of years of visibility into network-level behavior—transformed into actionable insights to help the broader security community detect and respond to emerging threats.

##### Last updated on March 3, 2025 This is a public list of ideas that I would like to work on someday. This is a copy of the ideas note I have in my Obsidian vault, where I jot down interesting projects, concepts, and thoughts that I find intriguing and might want to explore in the future. Since it is not practically possible for anyone to work on every idea they have, I thought it would be better to make this note public so that someone else might build it someday. Ideas that I’m currently working on are crossed out and have been moved to my projects page. Against each idea, I’ve added a short description to provide more context. If you are interested in any of the ideas mentioned below and want to work on them or collaborate with me, feel free to contact me. In case any of the ideas already exist, please let me know, and I will cross them out with a backlink to the project. **Vape with a Puff Limiter**A vape that lets you set the maximum number of puffs you can have in a day via an app or something! Looks like another person has thought about the same .**A Search Engine for Personal Blogs**I’m unable to search for content in personal blogs on google or any other search engine. Kagi small web is there, but it’s not personal blog specific.**A World Travel Lottery**A lottery with the grand prize as a fully-expensed, world travel package to visit n countries across all continents**Cricket Guard Line Projector**If you watch cricket, you can see batsmen often marking guard lines against the stumps by asking the umpire. Why can’t we have a laser projection of the stumps controlled by the umpire with a remote?**A cheap running tracker**There are multiple running trackers that you can attach to shoes, like Stryd , but these are quite expensive. Why is it so hard to make cheaper running trackers?**A platform to read both sides of an argument.**A moderated platform where a dedicated page is present for popular topics, and people can read about both sides of the argument.**Indian News Aggregator with relevance**India is struggling with misinformation and rigged news. The magnitude is quite high, considering the huge population, the demographics, and the rising internet penetration. A platform like News Minimalist that removes clickbait titles and filters relevant news would be useful for India.**Global Fish Database in different languages**Fishnames are tricky if you travel around the world. Within a country itself, fish names would be different. A global database of fishnames in all different languages would be great!**Bookmark for Videos & Podcasts**I wish there was a tool to record a particular timestamp on a video or a podcast so that I can watch it from the saved timestamp when I resume, rather than scrolling and finding the time.**Strava for Writers**Strava is a great tool to track your activities. As a writer, such a tool would be great to see the number of words written every day and also get a sneak peek at others’ writings.**About Me Collection**I love reading the About Me sections of various personal blogs. A curated list of the best about pages would be cool.**Evergreen Hosting** People put a lot of effort into their blogs, and most often, after the person passes away, these blogs go obsolete. How about a service that you can pay for one-time or in installments, ensuring that your blog stays live forever? _Update: I wrote about in detail here .

The Daily publishes several special issues every year, including a New Student Orientation issue, a Big Game issue and a Commencement issue. ### The Corporation The Stanford Daily newspaper is the primary holding of The Stanford Daily Publishing Corporation. Founded in 1973, The Stanford Daily Publishing Corporation operates as a California non-profit corporation headed by the paper’s editor-in-chief and business manager. ### History of The Daily The Stanford Daily is the independent, student-run newspaper of Stanford University. The Daily was originally founded as a small pamphlet known as The Daily Palo Alto in 1892 and has been a campus fixture ever since. The Daily strives to serve the Stanford community with relevant, unbiased journalism and provides its editorial, tech and business staffs with unparalleled educational opportunities. The Daily became independent of Stanford University in 1973 after a years-long clash with the administration spurred in part by disagreements over The Daily’s coverage of anti-Vietnam War protests. In particular, a strongly worded 1970 op-ed in the newspaper entitled “Snitches and Oppression,” penned by Diarmuid McGuire M.A. ’73, drew concerns from University administrators that the school might be held liable for any violence incited by the article. Independence for The Daily was thus a logical conclusion for both sides: The Daily’s disentanglement from the University would make it impossible for the University to attempt to influence reporting through financial withholding or other means, and the University’s disentanglement from The Daily would release it of any potential liability for content published in the newspaper. Thus, in 1973, The Stanford Daily Publishing Corporation was incorporated in Santa Clara County as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Independence wasn’t the only consequence of The Daily’s coverage of campus antiwar protests; the publication also drew national attention when it sued James Zurcher, the chief of the Palo Alto Police Department, following a surprise search of The Daily’s offices for photographic evidence of protestors that the student-journalists and legal counsel deemed to be in violation of the First and Fourth Amendments. After a district court and court of appeals ruled in favor of The Daily, the case, _Zurcher v. Stanford Daily_, was brought to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1978, with the nation’s highest court ruling 5-3 in favor of Zurcher. The ensuing outcry among journalists and the public led to Congress’s passage of the Privacy Protection Act of 1980, which established the requirement of a subpoena to search newsrooms for unpublished materials. With the launch of its website in 1995, The Daily became one of the first college newspapers publishing on the Internet. The site is live and continuously updated throughout the year. It features content from the print edition, along with special Web-only content often including live blogs of sporting events and major campus events. The Daily moved out of its old offices in the Storke Publications Building to its new home at the Lorry I. Lokey Stanford Daily Building in 2007, thanks to the generosity of Lorry I. Lokey ’49 and hundreds of other benefactors, which would not have been possible without the titanic effort of Arthur Charles Hoffman ’73 MBA ’76.

(This is a now page.) Personal -------- After 13 years living in and around Half Moon Bay, CA, we moved to Temecula, CA in 2023. Elisabeth’s family lives in the area, and we had a very limited support network there. Plus it’s easy for me to work remote, and escaping the Bay Area cost of living was nice. The local politics are kinda awful, but the schools are highly rated, and we found a church we really like. We bought a house we like in a really great neighborhood, and have been keeping ourselves busy with remodel projects and trying not to kill the 150 rose bushes or dozen fruit trees on the property. I’m currently reading _BiblioTech_ by John Palfrey and _Network Effect_ by Martha Wells. Professional ------------ I’ve been working as a software engineer at Tailscale since May 2022. I’ve worked on a bunch of different things, but am currently focused on identity-related projects.
