I'm the founder of a boutique IT services company called eSolia, based in Tokyo and founded in 1999. We just passed our 25th anniversary and hope to stay healthy and profitable, working on improving our operations by implementing ISO 27001.
I have spent my career in IT in Japan, doing a wide range of activities, such as compsci tutoring, physical cabling, network engineering, project management, software development, system architecture and design, solution consulting, web design and development, and delivering training courses to name a few. Sometimes I look back with nostalgia on the way things were in the late ’80s, but mostly, I like how things are now (you're old if you know what autoexec.bat and config.sys are)!
- 😘 Enjoyed an evening celebrating our dog Maru the Shiba's 4th birthday. Happy birthday, little buddy!
- 😎 Spent the evening working on making my GitHub profile dynamic using Lume SSG. https://rickcogley.github.io/rickcogley
- 🕊️ Netflix's The Diplomat is good stuff; loving the acting and banter. Twistiness makes you go back to watch earlier scenes.
- 👐 Kicking the Bluesky tires. https://bsky.app/profile/cogley.jp
- 🚀 Testing lume CMS on a few sites, now on a vps so we get the benefit of live preview.
- Reading about the lovely next-gen programmer font “Monaspace” on GithubNext, also found a cool fork of it, Moralerspace, that merges in Japanese “IBM Plex Sans JP” and a nerd font. Nihongo looks good, and the “nerd” symbols mean tricky Terminal prompts will display as well. 😎
- Listening to BSI’s “The Standards Show” today I learned about the British “Kitemark” for service excellence and others. Interesting concept of having triers adhere to multiple British or ISO standards to achieve a given Kitemark scheme. Can any Brits share their thoughts?🪁
- Maru the Shiba turned 4 today, how time flies! He got some fresh tennis balls, a Winner Trophy chew toy, his favorite chicken burger (shaped like a 4) and whipped yogurt meal, and lots of love. He never wolfs his food, always carefully inspecting and taking small bites. 🐕🥳
