Hacky Stuff
Reverse engineering the __security_init_cookie function
A Floppy-disk Bootloader
Homemade Pallete Generator - Apparently doesn't use the optimal method as some forum user who poopooed on my design pointed out. I still thought it was pretty cool.

Music
Music written for the motherboard speaker (circa 2010) that was later converted to MIDI using a horrible Java program written by me
"Joe" written by Joe (MIDI)
I consider this my first composed song. The name is not intended to be vain but is historical due to a lack of creativity when creating the original file name.
"Jake" written by Jake (MIDI)
Jake was one of the few people (possibly the only one) that showed any interest in my horrible Java MIDI conversion program. He actually composed a song specifically for it. It made me feel really good as an new programmer to have someone get excited about a program I had written. I post his song with gratitude.
Music composed for the Gameboy
2face (MIDI)
2face (Gameboy ROM)
This was a simple 2-channel test song I came up with after reading some music theory books that were tailored to computer music
Wrath of Joe (MIDI)
Wrath of Joe (Gameboy ROM)
This song was created trying to capture the tension of the battle music from Star-Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Music created as jokes for friends, but still sound kind of cool
Rodney's Revenge (MIDI)
NES style song created in honor of a Sergeant Major that me and my friend Neal were not super fond of
Ryan Rhodes (MIDI)
Written with love for my closest frienemy in the fire dept.

Website History
- 7/19/2019 - Website goes online, hosted on my Raspberry Pi version 1. Content from my previous blogs, websites, and projects is consolodated here.
- 1/20/2020 - After switching our home internet provider from AT&T U-Verse to Comcast X-finity, my port-forwarding capability mysteriously vanished. The website was down for over a month and I finally moved it to a hosting provider.
- 1/16/2021 - Website moved back to my private webserver hosted on an Asus Eee laptop (one of those cute mini-laptops that were so cool in college in the early 2010's). I first tried moving it to the old Raspberry Pi, but the Pi had finally died. RIP Pi (2011-2021).
- 1/26/2021 - That totally didn't work. Moved website back to hosting provider.
- 5/20/2024 - Website moved to my new cute little Raspberry Pi W. Main page redesigned to abandon contemporary design practices. Now I can freely upload content without worrying about aesthetics or relevancy.
