LavaCon 2025

I spoke at the LavaCon this week. My presentation was very well received. There were well over 100 folks who chose to attend my presentation. It was good to enjoy some brief moments with a llama as part of the conference. And it was good to meet up with lots of folks I have got to know over the years.
The fact is, reality is complicated, and not amenable to the "one large idea" model of problem solving. The only way that problems get solved in real life is with a lot of hard work on getting the details right. Not by some over-arching ideology that somehow magically makes things work. --Linus Torvalds

Images from this week. ---The Decatur Marta Station in Atlanta. I went to an Aviation Safety seminar there (in Decatur) this past week one evening. ---I had a new porch slab poured this week. The porch pillars are back in place now. ---Saturday I went to a steam-power meet in Rhode Island. It was good to see live steam. They also had some nice old radio equipment. Steam power and radios. They are a great combination.
