## Purpose

I'm routinely asked if I'm okay, how things are going, what's been going on, etc. 🧐

I appreciate the concern which I assume these messages are coming from, but am not interested in having fear cast my way. 🙃

So, this article is to help others self-serve whether I'm still alive and breathing. 😄

## Where to find "Signs of Life"

Here are a few ways to confirm that I've been online recently.

Just because none of them have activity does mean mean I'm dead or suffering.

I'm more likely enjoying some solitude or taking a break from technology.

### Most Likely

#### Code Changes

I love working on my projects. The longest I'd likely go without changing something is a week.

Don't worry about the technical details, just check the timestamps.

#### Written Posts

This website is new (at least compared to when this article is being posted) and I'm enjoying adding things every few days.

Eventually it may just be weekly or biweekly though. I'm not planning any "regular intervals".

### Somewhat Likely

#### Odysee Videos

There's not much rhyme or reason as to when I make videos.

Sometimes there are a few in a week, sometimes only one every quarter or half year.

It's a better proof of life than just code and written changes though, I suppose.

### Least Likely

#### Recent Photos

As of this article I'm well over a year late on posting photos.

I've worked on organizing them but it's just not much of a priority.

I'll get to them eventually, probably. ;)

## Conclusion

I really don't like check-ins, please don't ask for them. 😆

Ask me to hang out instead! Or if we're not currently near each other, tell me some cool news and I'll respond when I can. 🤙🤠🤙

I tend to ignore messages such as "Everything alright?". So seriously, don't do it. 😂

Otherwise don't be surprised if I take longer to get back to you than others. 😈

Peace and wellness to you! 💚
