Working on

  • Heehoposting, the site that you’re on right now!
    • I like to call this version the 2.0 update of Heehoposting, since I have more of a vision of what I want the website to be.
  • Discord bots!
    • My most recent project is a Discord bot called LekBot, which takes in Civilization data from a Google Doc and prints it out to a Discord server.
    • I’m also working on a personal bot that sends memes and funny images from time to time in my Discord server.
  • My homelab!
    • Big shocker, I’m a massive fan of the self-hosting movement. The more excuses I have to put servers in my closet the happier I am.
  • Tyrant’s Grave
    • Tyrant’s Grave is a fighting game regional tournament in Virginia. You can read more about it (and sign-up) here.

In general, I like to work on projects that solve problems that mildly irritate me, so this list of projects will undoubtedly grow larger as more things grind my gears. 😉
