Most people don’t like flying, I think. No one likes standing in long lines or sitting around, but I don’t mind the extra free hours. It gives me a chance to hack around on fun things I normally wouldn’t have the time for. I’m on my way back home from San Francisco, so I took advantage of the time to start hacking around with building a simple RPC protocol in OpenResty. It’s been a good chance to work with binary data and exercise the Nginx stream module. Tossing some notes and snippets in here as an outlet; I’m hoping to have a more formal follow-up in a few weekends as life starts to settle back to normal.
