We’re finally here, the last full week of 2024. It’s a mish mash of feelings. It’s been an eventful year.
- Carplayinstaller.com
- continuing to work on SEO
- added a basic logo
- adding metadata
- next, I need to add some content to the site
- eg what services are offered
- contact info
- about info
- setup email hosting
- needed so I could process the incoming orders 🙂
- I tried mailersend but ran into issues with their automated verification process failing and then a bit more back and forth that I ended up giving up on because we found a better option with mxroute
- mxroute was appealing because
- it supports unlimited domains and accounts – which is perfect for small businesses
- their main limit is on storage – which is easy to work with.
- processing orders
- we received our first few orders this week 🙂
- I’m working to connect our customers with trusted partners – some of these orders are in new markets where we are still working on distribution.
- continuing to work on SEO
- AR whiteboard
- put up a landing page – https://info.ar.whiteboard.omniinc.app/
- I spent sometime getting the development environment up and running
- It’s been a while since I’ve booted into AR/VR development mode, there were a few pieces to re-configure
- Regenerate SSL certs – webxr does not work in an insecure context
- Update tailscale/termux
- they’re sideloaded apks on the quest3, so a little care is needed.

- going to alternate between the t14 and macbook to increase resiliency
- One issue I noticed early on, platforms that don’t have 1password built-in don’t work as well in my dev workflow
