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)!
- 💻 Subscribed to and am now kicking the tires on "CleanShot X". It's really fantastic screenshot software for Mac.
- 😘 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
- Unlearning old, bad CSS habits and replacing them with shiny new ones, with Andy Bell’s Complete CSS course. He said it took a year to produce, and you can tell. It’s outstanding. 🤩
- CleanShot is fantastic & featureful screenshot software for Mac, which has the basics, but also annotation, cloud storage, capture history, screen recording, OCR and more. If you share any instructional content, you’ll want to check it out.
- 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. 😎
