Neurodivergences are REAL people…!

Weird way to start a post, right?

Well, Let’s start here then.

My lab is my baby. I have watched it grow, mature and evolve over the past 5 months. The more I build, ever more are the ideas that come to me. And along with those ideas come the associated tasks. Tasks that sometimes sit incomplete. There are a variety of reasons things go incomplete. Some of those being reasons being financial, time constraints or a knowledge gap that must be overcome. I must admit that the number one reason is the fact my lab has no clear and defined direction. I will have an idea and then from there all I see, hear and feel is “GO!!” And at that point I am high speed, low drag. And just like any object moving at high speed, the smallest deviation in course will, in time, cause great deviation in trajectory.

Enter my brain.

For a bit of context, I live with non-hyper adult ADHD. (You’d think they would just call it ADD like they did in the “olden days”, but what eves…) Needless to say, staying on task is a task in and of itself. Focusing my thoughts and ideas can be a bit of a “struggle.” I work through it and manage. I will admit that sometimes things slip my mind. Right now there is a list of things to either start or finish. Things that are just out there in limbo. For instance things I have not started/finished…

1) Reconfiguring OpenVPN from where I broke it while remediating the intrusions I suffered because “SOMEBODY” misconfigured the firewall.

2) Finishing the coding of JohnWesleyPaigeJr.com for the ability to see historical blog posts.

3) Setting up my NAS. Now this one will be fun and COMPLETELY ghetto. All while being innovative and cost effective. (More to come on that build later)

4) And lastly…. I can’t remember what number 4 was. And that goes back to speak to the aforementioned ADHD… But I’m sure it will come back to me though, eventually.

Point being, without clear direction you have nothing. As the old adage goes; “proper planning prevents piss pour performance”. And right now my execution is HORRENDOUS!!!

What was the point of saying all of that? Well this is to hold myself accountable, the “Know thyself” moment….

I have no idea what I am going to do with my lab and this website, no clue what I am trying to achieve. Hell, I don’t even know the full direction to go in with this blog…. But hey, we’ll all go on this journey together! So grab your britches and le-go!!!

-God Speed!
