This month marks 10 years since the very first post on this blog.
On August 15th 2014, I posted my first ever post on this blog titled Hello World, Hi I'm Calvin. I posted weekly for 5 months, then fortnightly for 9 months before averaging monthly up until now.
The blog was always meant to be a portfolio, alongside my GitHub repositories. Because of that, I've never had any ads or affiliated links, annoying popups or calls to action anywhere.
Looking back, I always aimed to showcase projects and ideas that weren't already on 200 other sites. I felt I've stuck with that and made each post unique, new and special. I often joke with some people that it required money - servers, cars, electronics, solar electricity and expensive speakers come to mind.
The most visited posts:
- Reset ESXi 6 Evaluation License (cron script included)
- Cracking .DMG, .RAR and other passwords on MacOS
- Nintendo Switch OLED Modding
- Web Interface for ESXi without vCenter
- Forward IP Addresses with NGINX Proxy
My favourite posts/projects (in no order):
- IKEA Bekant Standing Desk Mods: My first foray into microcontroller boards.
- Solar Power: The end-to-end journey of getting solar panels on my house.
- Designing Taller Sofa Feet: Designing and printing taller feet for my couch so our robot vacuum can clean under it.
I'll continue blogging every month until I can't for some reason. See you next month!
