I sat down approximately 5 hours ago to start writing this post. And then, as often happens anytime I write a blog post, I promptly got distracted making completely unrelated tweaks to how my website works. Therefore, I now have a new theme installed, updated my plugins, and cleaned up my blog post categories. And with that, I am finally starting in on the new post!
I have found over the years that some of the best changes in my life happen when I choose to do something somewhat at random, and don’t put a lot of extra research and planning into it. My switch to the keto diet a few years ago is one good example.

Spent 10+ hours over the last few days tracking down a bizarre I2C issue that appeared seemingly out of nowhere on a project. Assumed it was due to a tweak I made in a PoE driver that was on that I2C bus. But, turned out to be due to forgetting to initialize a struct to a known state in what I thought was an unrelated driver I was rewriting, which caused a pin to be initialized incorrectly. 🤦♂️ #DeveloperProblems
