Building a Dedicated Observability Kiosk for My Proxmox Homelab
A practical architecture note on turning a Proxmox homelab into a visible, rack-mounted observability system using Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, PULSE, and a Raspberry Pi kiosk.
Technical notes on post-production, tools, and process.
Grade with Intention
After many years of teaching colour and post-production, one pattern kept repeating: students knew how to operate the tools but not why. These are the courses I built to fix that.
When 4K Has to Become 1080p Without Falling Apart
A practical breakdown of how to downscale intricate 4K imagery to 1080p while preserving fine detail, gradients, and texture with a controlled ffmpeg workflow.
WD EX2 Ultra to QNAP: Plex Migration
A field report from a failed “quick” NAS migration that became a reliability exercise in automation, recovery strategy, and not trusting optimistic transfer assumptions.
Digital Literacy & Content Creation
An interview for RMIT on digital literacy as practical creative confidence: using tools with intent, communicating clearly, and building portfolio-ready work under real constraints.
Resolve Transcript to Readable Dialogue
How I turned Resolve transcript exports into readable interview dialogue with a small Python utility that removes friction from editorial and publishing workflows.
Post Haste for Mac: Project Structure
A practical breakdown of how I use Post Haste to standardise project setups, reduce preventable mistakes, and keep creative work scalable across teams.
Capture & Craft Workshop: Camera to Post
A condensed reflection on camera-to-post colour pipelines, from scene and sensor mechanics to transforms, skin tones, and delivery stability.
How Mixed Reality Is Shaping Tomorrow
A practical breakdown of the reality-virtuality continuum: reality, VR, 360 video, AR, augmented virtuality, and why terminology still matters.
