Completely making it up as I go along
The human brain, or at least MINE, is WEIRD!
No, seriously. The human brain is a strange, and magical, and confusing thing at times, as I learned today.
Thoughts on neverending supply chain woes
Notice how, two and a half years later, a shocking number of things vanish from shelves for weeks at a time with a sign of “Due to supply chain issues, XXXX is out of stock for the time being”, only for them to return unexpectedly and have the item next...
Finally back in Japan!
Two and a half years later… Thanks to the pandemic and the closure of Japan’s borders until October 2022, I have not set foot in Japan since Jan 2nd 2020. Now that might not sound so bad… except my partner has lived in Yokohama Japan since 2017. Long distance worked...
Learning new things via my annual website maintenance!
How we got here Okay so, I haven’t been a real devops guy since around 2009… however I still love playing with the tools and utilities and constantly learning new stuff in that realm as a hobby. When I finally get something, and truly understand it and roll it out...

Major Life Change v.2021 part 2
Excited to announce that starting today, I am the VP of Ecosystem Operations for Chia Network! (And as Gene likes to jokingly introduce me to people as, his “Winston Wolf”… I need to get that on a business card!)
Major life change v.2021!
In late June I’ll be leaving Genvid. I have something amazing lined up starting on the 21st that I just couldn’t say no to, which I’ll elaborate later on at that time. For now all I’ll say is that I am, *GASP!* LEAVING THE GAMES INDUSTRY after 16 years. However,...
Another year, another UPS saga.
If this is not your first time reading my rants, you will remember my saga from 2018 when UPS lost a shipment of wine of mine: https://sargonas.com/ups-seems-to-have-lost-my-wine-and-doesnt-want-to-tell-me/ Well flash forward to this year, and the hits just keep on coming! First off, I’ve spent the last month chasing around a...
