Hello, Iām David Hoy, a web developer and consultant based in Derry, Ireland. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- My main USP is the 20+ years Iāve spent working at the coal face of sales and marketing. Iāve made a million calls, knocked on a thousand doors, wooād hundreds of VCās (a few successfully) and have basically worn every hat available in sales, marketing and digital. Iām obsessed with web engineering and design. Iāve been building websites since the nineties, working on the WordPress platform for the past ten years. I started this web design firm in twenty thirteen to channel my ideas on how things should be built for the web. Outside of my obsession with web engineering I love travelling and most creative arts and I bring these together on my YouTube Channel * * * Want your WordPress project managed properly? --------------------------------------------- Call me on 07516590708 now to book a consultation.

I am Ketan Vijayvargiya. I am a Principal Engineer at work. That practically means, at least at my current company, that I am some part each of the following: tech lead, software architect, product manager, security engineer and mentor. You can find my full CV here. Outside work, I self-host a bunch of services for personal use, so that makes me part sysadmin as well. On non-technical front, I care about fitness, travel and personal finance, in that order. I live in the Pacific Northwest with my wife and a ~4 year old son.

* I spent the summer recording the audiobook for _Down from the Mountain_ from a blanket fort in my new empty office. (Necessity is the mother of invention? Is that how it goes?) I have no idea what Iām doing when it comes to recording, but I am learning. Oh heck, I have no idea what Iām doing when it comes to just about everything. But: learning, learning. Adventure, adventure. Life! Are you an audiobook listener? You can listen here. * Now that _Down from the Mountain_ is available for reading and listening in all formats, I am feeling the Great Creative Rest happening. This is where I pause. This is where I do important things that look like Iām not doing anything. Naps. Long walks on the beach. Letting nature speak to my senses in a language that is not words. This is where I refill, regenerate, and get curious about what comes next. * In the meantime, hereās some books I read this summer that touched me deeply: * It Ends with Us by Colleen Hooverāfor my fellow cycler breakers. I closed the last page and wept with a knowing ache for what it takes. Stunning. * A Calamity of Souls by David Baldacciāa look at Americaās race issues through the lens of differing characters and outstanding storytelling. * The Book of More Delights by Ross Gayāan endearing collection of personal essays about finding delight in everyday life. Made me want to write my own book of delights. * Did you know when you order from bookshop.org you can support the local bookstore of your choice with every purchase? Long live the brick and mortars! Until next time, McCall (Now Page Inspired by Derek Sivers)

This article explores the powerful parallelization and distributed computing capabilities of the HPX framework. Starting with installation on macOS, it walks through configuring, compiling, and testing HPX on a modest machine, highlighting key features like asynchronous programming, task-based parallelism, and HPX components. Whether new to HPX or looking for practical examples, this guide offers a hands-on approach to understanding and utilizing HPX in real-world scenarios. In this article, Iāve rectified some prior assumptions and shed light on utilizing Plugins with ChatGPT. I initially utilized a simple ASP.NET web server to avoid cloud service configurations, only to encounter issues with content-type settings and JSON data parsing. The solution emerged as a middleware, adept at processing incoming data, ensuring smooth communication between ChatGPT and Chat Copilot. In this exploration, we delve into enhancing Chat Copilotās functionality by integrating custom plugins, opening up a dialogue between the Semantic Kernel and Chat Copilot. Through a practical example, we see how Chat Copilot can seamlessly interact with the plugin to solve a given AI task. This setup forms a foundation for more complex engagements, bringing closer the intertwined future of coding and AI. In this post, we explore the fusion of Semantic Kernel with the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern, unraveling a new horizon in AI capabilities. By melding Semantic Kernelās prowess in understanding relationships between words with RAGās adeptness in fetching real-world data, we aim to foster models that are not only contextually aware but are also grounded in factual accuracy. Dive in to discover how this amalgamation could be a game-changer in generating more insightful and reliable AI responses. Dive into the realm of āHooksā in Semantic Kernel, a boon for developers seeking to refine function executions without meddling with the core code. Uncover how Hooks, akin to callbacks, serve as a bridge between events and function operations. Whether itās tweaking data before it reaches the Lower-Level Machine (LLM) or post-processing results, Hooks emerge as a robust solution. Explore real-world examples, witness Hooks in action, and unearth how they effortlessly dovetail with existing functions, paving the way for seamless executions. Embark on this enlightening journey, and harness the power of Hooks in Semantic Kernel to elevate your coding endeavors. The article elaborates on utilizing Planners with Semantic Kernel to autonomously orchestrate AI tasks based on user requests. It details various Planner types like Basic, Action, Sequential, and Stepwise Planners, explaining their functionalities. Delve into the world of Semantic Kernel, an innovative SDK by Microsoft, designed to bridge the gap between Large Language Models like OpenAIās ChatGPT and the diverse software development environments. Explore how Semantic Kernel enhances interaction with LLMs by introducing a structured way to create Plugins and a Planner to manage them. Venture through a practical demonstration of crafting a DevOps Plugin to automate Kubernetes deployment tasks, showcasing the potential of Semantic Kernel in modern software development. In the previous article, we explored the straightforward process of customizing Keycloakās user interface. Now, letās dive into the world of SPIs (Service Provider Interfaces) and discover how we can extend Keycloakās functionalities by implementing our own. To accomplish this, weāll need the following set of tools:: Apache Maven Eclipse (or any other IDE that supports Java and Maven) Java SDK (download from here and install it before continuing with the article) If you prefer, you have the option to run Keycloak instances using Docker, although it is not mandatory. To simplify the process, Iāve included a set of Dockerfiles \[ā¦\] This is the third article from the series on using Keycloak. While previous ones were dealing with running Keycloak in Kubernetes this one is about templating Keycloak. Therefore, I wonāt be describing how a Keycloak instance can be run and what configuration options one should use. Instead, I will focus on building an easy to use environment for templating and designing Keycloak forms. The environment presented here is the same I am using for my professional work. So, everything shown here is based on real-world experience. This should not mean that itās the ābestā one. I am only sharing my \[ā¦\] This is a follow-up to my previous article on how to setup a Keycloak instance with Postgres on k8s. Surprisingly, it was quite popular on HackerNews and received lots of comments. Among them were questions regarding high-availability and failure resistance. In the original article I described a fairly simple setup running Keycloak and Postgres pods which were accessing manually created PersistenceVolumes and Claims. I showed how to do all that both with handcrafted YAMLs as well as with Helm charts. There is also a repository containing YAMLs and configurations, so before you start working with the solution described here, maybe \[ā¦\]

Recent activity --------------- Work is going well, I'm thoroughly enjoying it ā earning less than I used to isn't a problem at all. I'd rather be happy doing something that I like, far away from the current state of the industries that I was part of. The garden was good this year, despite an April cold snap that slowed down, and in one case killed, crops. We're preparing for the coming winter. _Updated_ 22 September 2024

Ahoy! Iām Ben, I live in the United States of America with my wife, Kris, and son, Eli. I hope this page loaded fast for you. Welcome, and enjoy. From a homelab in my garage is a server. Not just any server, but this is the server that brought you this blog. It is running on Ubuntu Linux in a VM on a Proxmox hypervisor. Here are itās specs: * 28 core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 @ 2.60GHz (2 Sockets) * 512GB Memory * 3 x Intel DC S3700 800GB SSD (1 write cache and 2 read-cache) * 9 x 20TB Seagate Exos X20 20TB RAID-Z2 (ZFS) ā¦uh oh. Looks like one of them is failing. Do not be concerned about crashing this site if you want to link to it. All of the dynamic content is pushed out to Cloudflareās edge locations using workers, and I have load tested it to 10,000 visitors per second, and my server has easily handled front page traffic from Hacker News, Slashdot, Reddit, without the caching. Welcome to b3n.org | est. 2001 ------------------------------ I created my first blog post on **March 15, 2001**.Ā The blog was hosted from a Red Hat Linux server sitting on the floor in my dorm room, running Apache and PHP using a bunch of PHP scripts I wrote. I have been blogging ever since then. Now itās running on Ubuntu, OpenLiteSpeed, and WordPress. Other than a few exceptions when I didnāt have good internet, I have hosted the blog from a server at my house. It may be under a desk, in the bedroom closet, and now itās in the garage. But if you ever drop by for coffee, one thing is certain; somewhere in my house, you will find a server hosting b3n.org. I write about a variety of topics that interest me. Ā Here are the main categories I post in: ### Computing Posts about technology. My first computer was an Intel 8088 with (8MHz Turbo!) that dad brought home along with a book on QBasic. Ā I taught myself to program and enjoyed Flight Simulator for DOS (the framerate was not measured in frames per second, but **seconds per frame!**) Iām a huge Unix fan, so Iām running a 14 inch Macbook Pro M1 as my main computer. I studied Computer Science at BIOLA University for 2 semesters. But the CS department was small, and I found out the best professor wouldnāt be teaching CS the following year so I dropped out, and worked part time while getting a B.A. in Computer Systems and minor in Business Administration at CSUSB (which was a lot cheaper!). Iāve worked in the fields of DBA, Systems Administration, and Development. At my current day job I oversee the Applications group which consists of the Software Development and Business Solutions teams. ### Finance Iāve been usingĀ Quicken for as long as I can remember. Ā I started tracking finances with Quicken for DOS since 6th grade (and still track every transaction). Ā I think the best thing one can do to learn about finance and investing is to read books, I have read over 30 books on investing from authors like John Bogle, William Bernstein, Michael Edleson, Larry Swedroe, Benjamin Graham, Burton Malkiel, Taylor Larimore, David Swensen, and while this doesnāt make me an expert I have a well rounded perspective on it. In general I take an index-fund approachāit is hard to beat the S&P 500. ### Worldview Posts on Christianity, Religion and general Thinking areĀ posted in this category. Ā My beliefs are foundedĀ on the Bible. Ā I put my trust solely in Jesus Christ the Son of God, who died on the cross to take the penalty for our sins and givesĀ eternal life to anyone who believes in Him. Kootenai Community Church (my church) up in Kootenai, Idaho has excellent preaching and a variety of essays and podcasts. Ā I enjoy listening to The Briefing in the mornings by Albert Mohler, Answers in GenesisĀ (Ken Ham) has a lot of Creationist resources. My favorite podcast is the Just Thinking Podcast by Darrell B. Harrison and Virgil Walker. And I recently discovered the Grace and Truth Podcast with Owen Strachan. When people ask what my position is on various things, I always hold the Biblical view. E.g. I am a Biblical Creationist. That is I hold to the belief that the Universe was created by God in 6 days as stated in Genesis and the earth is about 6035 years old. I have reformed view of soteriology, dispensational position on end-times, a complementarian view of marriage, etc. Not because I think or want these things to be true, but because thatās what is revealed in the Bible. These are doctrinal statements that most closely match my beliefs. * 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith * KCC Doctrinal Statement ### Nonsense Everything else. Ā These are misc posts that donāt fit anywhere else. Best resource for this is: Dilbert. ā¦and Calvin and Hobbes of course. Well, take a look around the site for topics youād be interested in, and sign up for my newsletter if youāre interested in this type of content.

21 September 2024 William Martin forwarded me some written feedback on Learn Go With Tests from Kynan Ware which made my day. I get a lot of friendly feedback from people on the work, but this is one of those where the author has taken the time to explain why they enjoyed the book more specifically. > Before reading Learn Go With Tests, I read a Go different book that only had a chapter on the standard libraryās testing suite. To say Learn Go With Tests expanded on that chapter would be an understatement. Getting hands on with the standard library and how it works was great and informative. Keep in mind that I do not have really any background in testing anyways, so I needed to be told both what features and patterns exist in a general sense and how they are used; Learn Go With Tests did just that and more. > > I enjoyed seeing the TDD feedback loop in a hands-on way with concrete examples. The author took their time to explain why TDD is valuable in a āshow, donāt tellā way. **Initially, the TDD loop seemed tedious and monotonous**, but as I progressed through the book past the simple examples and into more complex territory, I found it to be actually fun, interesting, and very productive to get instant feedback on your work. (The emphasis is mine). I have spent a lot of time directly and indirectly (e.g the book) coaching TDD and this mental leap is often the hardest one. Many people find it boring, many find it "unrealistic" and bemoan how TDD tutorials are often too simplistic, and don't apply in the real world. TDD does work in the real world, but it takes time and practice. In my mind, one goal of TDD is breaking down work well enough so your real work, feels as simple as the examples you learned it with. > This was new to me (surprise!), but I like the idea that TDD is a design tool very much. Iām not going to repeat or summarize the bookās details on why or how it is used as a design tool, but Iāll just say that I ingested this idea and vibe with it very much. It's gratifying this message is coming through to people who read the book, because this is often such a missed point of TDD. Sadly, many believe TDD is merely about achieving test coverage, but in The Why of TDD I write at length how it is so much bigger than that. > The author was also particularly good at answering questions that might come up as they come up. The moment I had a question in my mind, the next sentence addressed it. I thought it was beautifully written. I didnāt have a place for this point in another heading, but I also wanted to mention how much I enjoyed just the overall introduction to testing patterns in general.

Keep in mind that I do not have really any background in testing anyways, so I needed to be told both what features and patterns exist in a general sense and how they are used; Learn Go With Tests did just that and more. > > I enjoyed seeing the TDD feedback loop in a hands-on way with concrete examples. The author took their time to explain why TDD is valuable in a āshow, donāt tellā way. **Initially, the TDD loop seemed tedious and monotonous**, but as I progressed through the book past the simple examples and into more complex territory, I found it to be actually fun, interesting, and very productive to get instant feedback on your work. (The emphasis is mine). I have spent a lot of time directly and indirectly (e.g the book) coaching TDD and this mental leap is often the hardest one. Many people find it boring, many find it "unrealistic" and bemoan how TDD tutorials are often too simplistic, and don't apply in the real world. TDD does work in the real world, but it takes time and practice. In my mind, one goal of TDD is breaking down work well enough so your real work, feels as simple as the examples you learned it with. > This was new to me (surprise!), but I like the idea that TDD is a design tool very much. Iām not going to repeat or summarize the bookās details on why or how it is used as a design tool, but Iāll just say that I ingested this idea and vibe with it very much. It's gratifying this message is coming through to people who read the book, because this is often such a missed point of TDD. Sadly, many believe TDD is merely about achieving test coverage, but in The Why of TDD I write at length how it is so much bigger than that. > The author was also particularly good at answering questions that might come up as they come up. The moment I had a question in my mind, the next sentence addressed it. I thought it was beautifully written. I didnāt have a place for this point in another heading, but I also wanted to mention how much I enjoyed just the overall introduction to testing patterns in general.

Updated September 14, 2024
I am a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. I previously co-founded and ran Open Philanthropy and GiveWell. All opinions are my own. I'm not currently prioritizing this blog and don't expect many or any new pieces, but I think a lot of the old ones are worth reading! Most of the posts on this blog were written at least a month before they were posted, sometimes much longer. I try to post things that are worth posting even so, hence the name "Cold Takes." If you have suggested links/books/etc., please use this form to send them in. Here are highlights, which should give a sense for what the blog is like. The "most important century" series ----------------------------------- The "most important century" series argues that the 21st century could be the most important century ever for humanity, via the development of advanced AI systems that could dramatically speed up scientific and technological advancement, getting us more quickly than most people imagine to a deeply unfamiliar future. It's available in web, audio, PDF and Kindle formats. Some other highlights so far ---------------------------- * Where's Today's Beethoven? is a short series examining the causes and consequences of "innovation stagnation": across a variety of areas in both art and science, the best-regarded figures are disproportionately from long ago, and our era seems to "punch below its weight" when considering the rise in population, education, etc. (Why has no musician in the modern era achieved the stature of Beethoven, despite a much higher population of potential artists today?) * Why Describing Utopia Goes Badly is first in a three-part series on why it's so difficult to lay out an appealing hypothetical utopia - and why we nonetheless shouldn't give up on the idea of utopia. * Rowing, Steering, Anchoring, Equity, Mutiny presents five clashing pictures of how to help the world, and the questions about history they raise. * Has Life Gotten Better? is a series asking: "What would a chart of average quality of life for an inhabitant of Earth look like, if we started it all the way back at the dawn of humanity?" Most analyses of this topic focus on the last few hundred years, but humanity is at least hundreds of thousands of years old. Key pieces include Pre-agriculture gender relations seem bad and this concise summary of the case that life has gotten better since the Industrial Revolution. * Why talk about 10,000 years from now? summarizes one of the central attitudes of this blog: I try to imagine myself as a billions-of-years-old observer, thinking of hundred-year phenomena as "short-lived" and writing about the sorts of things that might still matter a very long time from now. * Minimal-Trust Investigations describes the single activity that has been most formative for the way I think. Most of what I believe comes from trusting others, in one way or another; but sometimes, I like to suspend my trust and dig as deeply into a question as I can, partly so I can form deeper views on whom to trust and when/why. * Does X cause Y? An in-depth evidence review. There's an interesting theory out there that X causes Y. If this were true, it would be pretty important. So I did a deep-dive into the academic literature on whether X causes Y. Here's what I found. (Embarrassingly, I can't actually remember what X and Y are. Fortunately or unfortunately, I think this piece is correct for most (X,Y) that you might try to research.) * Give Sports a Chance is the first in my "Cold Links" series: links that I like a lot, that are so old you can't believe I'm posting them now. It makes the case for why you might be interested in sports, even if you hate sports. If you're sold, here are my other sports posts. * Gell-Mann Earworms. "Gell-Mann Amnesia" refers to constantly forgetting how unreliable news sources are; I use "Gell-Mann Earworms" for the opposite condition, in which "I canāt trust this" is constantly ringing in your ears as you read anything. Since this seems correct, how does one live with this condition? * Summary of history (empowerment and well-being lens) presents a summary of human history in one table, through the specific lens of "empowerment and well-being": I consider historical people and events significant to the degree that they influenced the average person's (a) options and capabilities (empowerment) - including the advance of science and technology; (b) health, safety, fulfillment, etc. (well-being). Through this lens, the wars and power struggles that fill traditional history textbook barely matter; changes in science and technology, health, poverty, gender relations and slavery are all far more significant, leading to a different picture of history. * Phil Birnbaum's "bad regression" puzzles. If you've ever wanted to see someone painstakingly deconstruct a regression analysis and show all the subtle reasons it can generate wild, weird and completely wrong results, click here.

Updated September 14, 2024
A few extras from my trip to Wyoming. I took a lot of photos and videos and have had a tough time choosing, so hereās the final selection. A mud spring in Yellowstone. These are mesmerizing to watch (and smell!). One of the pools in the West Thumb Geyser Basin along the shore of Lake Yellowstone. This was a great hotel. The proprietor let us use her clothes line in her backyard to hang out and dry our wet tents from camping in Yellowstone. Of course, itās rated number 1 on āiPad Visor.ā I would expect no less! š Backcountry waterfalls in the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area. This wilderness was simply stunning and I am glad to have seen it. Seen in the hunting, camping, backpacking store in Cody, Wyoming. I can say that my own children are not wild. I should have read this book! š The dinosaur museum in Thermopolis, Wyoming housed large beasts, such as this one. It was started by a dentist from Germany who fell in love with Wyoming and started up the museum. He buys bones from digs and has employees who clean them up and then he puts them in the museum. A nice stop after the hot pools. Late afternoon rainbow in Wyoming on our way to Lander. Stunning scenery! That ends the images of my vacation in Wyoming, 2024. Heading West ā Sacajaweaās grave -------------------------------- #### Posted on September 13, 2024 From Thermopolis & Dubois, we were going to head up over the mountains to Jackson Hole, but the road was closed due to wildfire. So we headed south to Lander, Wyoming. Lander is a bit of a backpackerās hub where a lot of hikers land for a bit between trails. It was a nice small western town where we had a nice meal and a rest before moving further west. The trip was a good one. Wyoming will always have a piece of my heart and I look forward to visiting again someday . . . . This is the memorial to Sacajawea, the woman who travelled with Lewis and Clark on their expedition to the ocean back in the early 1800s. Her gravesite was nearby. Indian cemetery seemed so alive with how people added items of importance to the graves to remember their loved one. A sad note was just how young so many of them died. The evening light was beautiful as we visited. Wagon ruts of the Oregon Trail. The land just goes on forever, it seems. Now --- #### Posted on September 8, 2024 My ānowā page has been updated. More trip posts to come (almost done!). Categories: now Thermopolis & Dubois -------------------- #### Posted on September 7, 2024 We left the wilderness and headed to the lovely small town of Thermopolis, Wyoming. Thermopolis is known for the thermal spring that the town has set up to fill several soaking pools for anyone who wants to indulge. The temperature is 104 degrees F., and is fantastic. Following this we headed to Dubois, Wyoming where we stopped for a visit in the National Museum of Military Vehicles, a 156,000 square feet large history lesson. It was truly amazing. Get this: the ticket allows for two days of entry, it is that large and expansive. The springs run off into the river with this nice suspension bridge set up for people to walk across. The large hill in the background is where the hot water comes from. This is one of the exhibit spaces in the museum. The museum was created by Dan Starks to show off his collection. Another of the many sets that have been created. Each one gives a small piece of information about what youāre seeing and the context in which it was used. We could have spent way more than three hours here. I took a lot of photos of this place. What perhaps struck me most about it was that it was very even handed about how it presented the conflicts and the pieces in the museum that were connected to those conflicts. I was quite impressed and I recommend a visit if you ever get to the least populated state in the nation. Wyoming backcountry ------------------- #### Posted on September 6, 2024 Kurt and I left YNP and headed east. Onto Cody, of Buffalo Bill fame, and then to the Bighorn Mountains where we backpacked into the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area one of 803 Designated Wilderness Areas in the US. Wilderness areas have one requirement: nothing with wheels can be used to get there. Legs and feet only, and if youāre a horse, the same applies. We backpacked for 5 nights and 6 days, covering almost 60 miles. We had a bull moose stroll through our camp, met some super nice people, saw several horse packing groups and only had to deal with biting black flies a bit. Wildfire smoke was minimal and I did not eat enough. Nothing really beats being the backcountry, however. At about 10,350 feet, the sunset was beautiful. This fella strolled through our camp in the morning. A few days later, we had a rain storm start up to the east and the sun was setting to the west and this rainbow appeared. It was a beautiful way to end the day. Other images:

So we headed south to Lander, Wyoming. Lander is a bit of a backpackerās hub where a lot of hikers land for a bit between trails. It was a nice small western town where we had a nice meal and a rest before moving further west. The trip was a good one. Wyoming will always have a piece of my heart and I look forward to visiting again someday . . . . This is the memorial to Sacajawea, the woman who travelled with Lewis and Clark on their expedition to the ocean back in the early 1800s. Her gravesite was nearby. Indian cemetery seemed so alive with how people added items of importance to the graves to remember their loved one. A sad note was just how young so many of them died. The evening light was beautiful as we visited. Wagon ruts of the Oregon Trail. The land just goes on forever, it seems. Now --- #### Posted on September 8, 2024 My ānowā page has been updated. More trip posts to come (almost done!). Categories: now Thermopolis & Dubois -------------------- #### Posted on September 7, 2024 We left the wilderness and headed to the lovely small town of Thermopolis, Wyoming. Thermopolis is known for the thermal spring that the town has set up to fill several soaking pools for anyone who wants to indulge. The temperature is 104 degrees F., and is fantastic. Following this we headed to Dubois, Wyoming where we stopped for a visit in the National Museum of Military Vehicles, a 156,000 square feet large history lesson. It was truly amazing. Get this: the ticket allows for two days of entry, it is that large and expansive. The springs run off into the river with this nice suspension bridge set up for people to walk across. The large hill in the background is where the hot water comes from. This is one of the exhibit spaces in the museum. The museum was created by Dan Starks to show off his collection. Another of the many sets that have been created. Each one gives a small piece of information about what youāre seeing and the context in which it was used. We could have spent way more than three hours here. I took a lot of photos of this place. What perhaps struck me most about it was that it was very even handed about how it presented the conflicts and the pieces in the museum that were connected to those conflicts. I was quite impressed and I recommend a visit if you ever get to the least populated state in the nation. Wyoming backcountry ------------------- #### Posted on September 6, 2024 Kurt and I left YNP and headed east. Onto Cody, of Buffalo Bill fame, and then to the Bighorn Mountains where we backpacked into the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area one of 803 Designated Wilderness Areas in the US. Wilderness areas have one requirement: nothing with wheels can be used to get there. Legs and feet only, and if youāre a horse, the same applies. We backpacked for 5 nights and 6 days, covering almost 60 miles. We had a bull moose stroll through our camp, met some super nice people, saw several horse packing groups and only had to deal with biting black flies a bit. Wildfire smoke was minimal and I did not eat enough. Nothing really beats being the backcountry, however. At about 10,350 feet, the sunset was beautiful. This fella strolled through our camp in the morning. A few days later, we had a rain storm start up to the east and the sun was setting to the west and this rainbow appeared. It was a beautiful way to end the day. Other images:

Hi. I'm Chris and I'm what's called a Location Independent Freelancer. The nature of my work means that I can perform it anywhere where I have access to my computer and a reliable internet connection. However, it wasn't always this way. Back in 2015, I was headed into a corporate career that I wasn't at all passionate about. I was seeking an international experience but the path that was laid out for me didn't quite allow me to live abroad. Working holidays weren't really an option for me as I was focused on building a long-term professional career after graduating with a degree in Business from the Queensland University of Technology in mid-2015. Shortly before graduating, I realised that I was starting my career during the beginnings of something called, '_the digital nomad movement_'. Discovering the '_Digital Nomad Movement_' ------------------------------------------ In early 2015, I discovered something called the Digital Nomad Movement. Each day, more and more people were becoming aware that they no longer had to be restricted to any one location and that day in January, I became one of them. Less than 12 months later, I left Australia on my own digital nomad journey towards true Location Independence. So what exactly is a '_Digital Nomad_'? --------------------------------------- > Digital nomads are individuals who leverage telecommunications technologies to perform their work duties, and more generally conduct their lifestyle in a nomadic manner." Wikipedia (2015) Put simply, a Digital Nomad is anyone who uses their digital abilities to work from anywhere and everywhere. This movement is seeing thousands of digital workers moving overseas and living anywhere they like. As technology advances, so does the general population's ability to work online, needing only a laptop and some WiFi to do their job. With employers now cluing on to the advantages of distributed teams, the definition of a digital nomad has expanded past lifestyle entrepreneurs to include employees, freelancers and creatives. Starting '_Chris the Freelancer_' --------------------------------- When starting my ādigital nomad journeyā, I discovered a huge information gap in the travel space for those who work online and travel. As someone who watched (and still watches) a lot of YouTube, I was surprised to find that there was hardly any vloggers who covered this particular lifestyle and so I set about becoming _that_ _vlogger_. For the next two years, I released weekly vlogs about my digital nomad lifestyle, interviews other digital nomads and reviews on the top destinations in the world for digital nomads. But it wasn't sustainable... Becoming '_Location Independent'_ --------------------------------- During those two first years of freelancing and work remotely, I was purely motivated by travel but after circumnavigating the world in 2017, I realised that my 'digital nomad lifestyle' was no longer sustainable. In late 2017, I returned home to Australia to re-think my life and I realised that I still wanted _**the freedom to travel**_ but the not _**the pressure of constant travel**_. Working remotely from my home city of Brisbane, Australia, I realised that it's not just the ability to travel to far and exotic locations that made freelancing and working remotely a great way to live. Along with this realisation, I begun to develop a stronger focus on the work I wanted to do instead of the locations in which to do it. In 2018, I made the switch to do more to help people _**actually become location independent**_ rather than focusing purely on traveling and working remotely. It started with a few classes on Skillshare.com, a new Youtube channel and most recently, soft-launching my own educational website ShopifyThemeDeveloper.com. If you're new to my blog and want to learn how you can work remotely as well - whether that be as a freelancer, an online business owner or a remote employee - visit the remote work category of my blog here. Until next time, Chris
