| | It's been almost a week two years1 since I finished the entirety of the TransAmerica Trail Bike Route, and it's finally sunk in that it's over (see the bottom of the post for a brief recap of what the trail is, and some of my statistics during it). During the ride I often fantasized about what it would be like to finish: I thought that I would cry, or be over the moon. It didn't really end up being like that. I was excited and incredibly happy to see my brother and sister, but nothing like what I'd imagined. As I wrote on the final post of the trip, the best way I can described the feeling is contentment. I felt content and satisfied with what I'd just done, and at the same time glad to be off the road, at least for a while. There were a million things swirling through my head that all combined to create this more muted feeling, some positive some negative, and I want to discuss each of them in turn. I felt weird about posting this for unknown reasons at the time I wrote it (a few days after finishing the tour). I'm posting it now because I think it's a good recap.?

| | I wanted to create a home server that was capable of running on solar power. I failed. Mostly because I was too naive and believed that a specific product would solve this problem for me, and it didn't. At least I can share the experience with you, so you don't need to repeat my mistake.

| What do you do when things aren't going right? Do you sit and sulk, or do you get up and take action? Do you listen to what the Lord has to say, or do you try to handle things your own way and hope for the best? *A revision of an article I wrote a...
