This is the personal journal of Terry Losansky, and I am not a robot. I delve into topics around remote working, cybersecurity, life as a digital nomad, web hosting, technology and journaling. Prepare to be astonished. Or not.
Most of the site content will focus on issues and topics related to remote working and cybersecurity, with occasional random posts of personal interest.
I am a remote worker, virtual worker, telecommuter, and sometimes digital nomad since 1997. I have had brief sprints in the classic corporate cube farms, lived and worked from an RV, and more recently settled into a home office. There may be some value in sharing my experiences with others who are on or considering their own journeys working free of an office building and daily commute.
Nerva.com is in its third incarnation of my web journal. I started the first version sometime around 1995, and I let the second languish around 2010 when my first wife was diagnosed with and later died from breast cancer. After a decade and many life changes, I feel I have the desire to play in this space again and build version three. Now is the time for me, again, to experiment, learn, share, and create.
Yes, there are ads on this site. I hold hope they will someday cover the hosting expenses. What you might see from Google ads are based on your browsing habits, not indicative of this site. Any other companies or products ads or banners are possibly my choice. I keep it to a minimum. Thanks for your patience and enjoy.

Debugging and Implementing the Undo Feature This is the continuing story of using OpenAI’s ChatGPT to build a turn-based strategy game.

ChatGPT AI Building a Turn Based Strategy Game, Part 2
Today I am starting where I left off, with the intent to refactor the code. I suspect this is a big ask for ChatGPT. The code is getting harder to manage. Can the functions be grouped into classes? Also, can hard-coded values be set globally and referenced by name throughout the code? Like before, I…
