Welcome to my personal website. I’m Naty, a tech dabbler, third-culture kid, serial hobbyist, and lifelong learner.
BurgeonLab is a blog where I document my mostly geeky interests and other enlightenments. This is my passion project and a work in progress; so expect to see changes.
I am keen on data privacy, self-hosting, technical writing, specialty coffee, street photography, fountain pens, Formula 1, and more.
My other pseudonyms are @eclecticpassions and @aperture2iris.
Thank you for checking out my corner of the Internet, hope you find something interesting!

Latest Weeknotes
Here are my latest weeknotes. They're a type of post that I publish weekly and sometimes covers less technical topics.
Fixing stale site files on Bunny, working with Zensical for my secondary site, website readability issues. Driving an EV for the first time, and F1 updates.
Minor site updates, new style-guide, convoluted process of deleting old accounts, attending my first tech event, and link roundup as usual.
Getting to meet Brennan, a blogger I followed for a long time via the IndieWeb, some new features on my site and considering leaving Bitwarden.
Pokémon cards’ value, accidentally published a Hugo draft post and decided to leave WordPress for a new SSG. Considering a digital garden for my secondary blog.

As a long-time user of LanguageTool’s offline server on macOS, I thought I’d share how I set it up. It’s a great way to get a pretty accurate grammar and spell checking / proofreading software without relying on online services. I’ll go through how to configure this open source tool, get extra optional improvements like n-gram data processing, and script shortcuts.
