OpenBR Development Container Image

After some prodding by a fellow nerd, I recently went back to a project I’d been working on a long(~5 years) time ago.

After a lot of thought, I’ve decided I no longer want to host kasisnu.com with Tumblr. I’m giving Hugo a try. This means no ads, https goodness, and the ability to write in markdown. The finer things in life.

About

This is the personal blog of one Kasisnu. I love science, computers, and music. I work as a software engineer by day, and figure out what I’d like to do with the rest of my time, the rest of the time. Sometimes that means going for a run, climbing artificial walls, or reading about software, engineering, security, education policy. Maybe you meant to go to http://kasisnu.tumblr.com print("hello, world")
