My name is James Quinby. I am a husband, father of nine, grandfather of three, UGA alum, ham radio op, gardener, backyard naturalist, and Deacon in the Diocese of Nashville.
This blog is a place to organize my thoughts around my ministry and personal interests. In short, many thoughts on many things. I don’t discuss work-related matters here; this is intentional. Even so, to remove any doubt on the reader’s part, any views expressed here are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer.
I speak fluent Spanish. I never really got the hang of switching between ES and EN keyboard layouts, but I’ve finally set a compose-key in X, so I hope to post more often in both languages. Other places where you can find me:
• GitHub
• LinkedIn
• Facebook
• Instagram
• QRZ
I am also on Metafilter and have been for quite a while.
This site is hosted on Micro.blog. Most posts are composed with various text editors and then published via an API call. My editor of choice these days is emacs; in the past, it was vscode or even vim with a shell script. I post directly from emacs to micro.blog thanks to a bit of vibe-coding with Claude. There’s a similar plugin for vscode on my github site.
