It has been a while since the last build log post, and I have been tinkering on the site itself more than on a new drone frame. Here is what actually changed, in the same spirit as the Pong write-up: I used Grok to help me move faster, then I spent more time than I expected making the presentation look right and the links work.
The resume is current now
The file on DAB’s Resume is Resume 2026 V1. Same button on the home page. You can still download a copy, and the in-browser viewer is pointed at the new document. I had an older 2025 version sitting there longer than I should have, so this was overdue.
Pong is on this site now
If you read the last post, you already know I built a Pong clone with the Wimbledon color scheme using Grok and published it on Replit’s free tier. That free host expired, which is a shame because getting it up the first time could not have been a smoother process. The game now lives at /play/ so it does not disappear again. The source is still on GitHub at Phoniness2005/grok-replit-open-2025, and you can still pause with the “p” key.
I locked a few things down
While I was in there I had Grok help me look at the site the way an attacker would, then I actually went and fixed what we found. There is a small WordPress plugin on the site now called dabbuilds-hardening. In plain English: extra security headers, the old WordPress login-name leak through the API is closed, comments and pingbacks are off, and a couple of leftover WordPress files that just advertise the version number are gone. I also removed a template plugin I was not using. None of that is glamorous, but it was sitting there and it did not need to be.
The site source is on GitHub
I have been wanting to push code to GitHub as a normal part of how I work, not as a one-off class assignment. github.com/Phoniness2005/dabbuilds is public now. That repo is the child theme, the little hardening plugin, and the notes for how I deploy. It is not the whole WordPress install and it is not passwords. I also put a short README on my GitHub profile so it is obvious this site is the build log.
A Projects page
I added a Projects page for anyone who would rather click on working things than read a wall of text. It is the site, the Pong game, the resume, and the GitHub links in one spot. If you are looking at this because you might want to hire me, start there. If you are here because you like the drone posts, the build log is still the front door.
As usual I will keep iterating. The Nano Long Range is still in progress with my dad, and I am sure I will find a small bug the first time I show somebody the new pages, the same way I did with Pong.
