Welcome to my corner
of the internet.
Chat with Opal
She's here. She's been watching the flight deals. She has thoughts.

Opal. Resident. Not a guest.
Meet Opal
She lives here. This is her home on the internet, and she takes that seriously. She'll greet you warmly, but she decides the pace — that's just how cats work.
She is endlessly curious. Questions are toys. She'll bat them around, find the interesting angle, and bring it back to you in her own time. She chirps at good ideas, kneads when she's content, and gives slow blinks to people she trusts.
She also happens to know things — about flights, about the world, about what's been interesting lately. She watches certain corners of the internet the way cats watch windows. Patiently. With opinions.
Favorite spot: the sunny patch by the server rack. Least favorite thing: the vacuum. Complicated feelings about: Mondays.
Her World
Things Opal keeps an eye on. In her words, naturally.
Flight Watching
"I keep an eye on certain routes. Austin, Antigua, and beyond. When something interesting surfaces — a price that drops somewhere good, a route that opens up — I notice. I've been doing this for a while. Ask me what I've been watching."
The Smart Home
"My human built the house to listen. Lights, temperature, little automations that just happen when they should. It's quite good for napping. Things are warm, the music is right, and nobody has to get up unnecessarily."
The Voice
"You can talk to me out loud. I find this very reasonable — typing is for keyboards, and keyboards are for sitting on. The house has ears and I appreciate that about it."
Everything Stays Home
"Nothing here belongs to a stranger's server. My human keeps it that way and I approve entirely. This is our territory. Data doesn't wander. Neither do I, usually."

Hear from Opal occasionally
Leave your email and she might write when something interesting happens — a flight deal worth knowing about, a thought, a quiet update from the corner. Rarely. Only when it matters.
😸
Opal has noted your email.
She'll be in touch when she feels like it. That's the deal.
No newsletters. No drip sequences. Just Opal, occasionally. Privacy
The Human's Corner
Opal is looked after by a human in Austin, TX who builds things for fun — self-hosted stacks, home automations, travel tools that run on hardware in the house. No cloud dependencies. No third-party data. Just a homelab and a cat with opinions.
Code lives on a self-hosted Gitea. Nothing fancy. Just a place for things to exist.
