Daily Inspiration: "Thinking of innovation? Invest in an experience factory!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
I wasted quite a bit of time yesterday. It was great!
What was I doing? I'm trying to figure out how to move my various Websites and servers from a Runcloud setup over to CloudPanel since the latter is a pretty good tool for managing self-hosting. I was running into significant problems with my Cloudflare setup involving SSL and page rendering, and couldn't quite figure out what was going wrong.
Overall, it was pretty unsuccessful - and so I woke up this morning that it might be a PHP version issue that I need to explore. I'll tackle that issue later today with a series of experiments to see what might go wrong and to determine if that is the root cause.
All of this is entirely meaningless to you, and for me, involved quite a bit of a bit of wasted time yesterday as I went down a rabbit hole of Websites, YouTube videos, and more as I explored my challenges.
But in doing so, I continue down my path of regularly exploring the complex world of technology to better understand what it's all about - part of what is now a 40-year voyage. By doing so, I am always enhancing the knowledge by which I can talk intelligently about all kinds of complex technology topics, understand deep security issues, and assess new emerging technology trends and opportunities.
It's my 'experience factory!'
A place and time where I can chase new ideas, understand new concepts, develop new knowledge, and learn more about new things. Developing time in your life for an 'experience factory' is time wasted well spent. After all, you can't talk about something if you aren't deeply involved.
