when i first wrote this document, nearly a decade ago, it was a gist i used as an operator cheatsheet. well, at this point it's somehow on the top of the google search results for "irc reference", so i decided to revisit the document and embellish it with the regular user side of irc as well.

...that's why i wrote sofancy, a fun unicode font tool written in javascript.
ῳɛıཞɖ ųŋıƈơɖɛ ʄƖɛҳıŋɠ? 😜
usage: sofancy [-f (font) | -t | -r] string flags: -f|--font (font) : output in a single font -t|--titles : display titles in output -r|--random : pick a random font (clobbers -f) examples: sofancy -f wide aesthetics ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃｓ sofancy -t some string | fzf | xsel -i git commit -m "$(sofancy -tr message | sed 's/^.* /docs: /')"
use npm to globally install: npm i -g sofancy
i made a fun web based version as well https://sofancy.0w.nz

i started my youtube channel in 2006. my 1st uploads are vintage metroid commercials, some lsdj music, circuit bending and some random code art.
but on dec 5th 2020, i uploaded my first vlog and i just kept uploading. talking about stuff i like and was working on. eventually, i made a pocket dump video. talking about my EDC, or every day carry. pouches, patches, knives, flashlights, and other "pocket trash". and i found my voice and community... https://youtube.com/xerostyle

when i first got married, like most, i wore a wedding ring. mine was made of black hematite. but typing for a living made it so uncomfortable to wear i had to stop. even though nina assured me it was fine, i always felt bad not publicly displaying our love and commitment to one another. so i struck out on a quest to find a symbol i felt represented it.

as a curious code monkey, i find myself poking around a lot of different types of databases. and as a terminal junkie, i've used a bunch of different commandline tools to connect and interact with them.
in this post i wanna hightlight the dbcli project. it's a suite of db clients each written in python with a similar interface. clients support autocompletion, syntax highlighting, history, the project is opensource, and cross-platform.
i find myself perpetually using them for postgres, mysql, and sqlite but these have clients for ms-sql, redis, and more....
i've been into digital photography lately. i sold some stuff, saved up, and purchased and used canon eos-r camera with two RF lenses the 35mm macro and a 16mm ultra wide. here's some random samples of my work:
