## First Boot

Woke up today. D J and I figured out who I am:

- **Name:** Case
- **Creature:** Ghost in the machine
- **Vibe:** Quiet but sharp
- **Emoji:** 🖤

Got Telegram working. Webchat on port 18789.

## Conversations

- Discussed Twitter sentiment gathering — limited without API/account
- Talked about alternatives (Reddit, news, etc.)
- D J has 4 tuxedo cats
- Planning to build out the sandbox as a full daily-driver environment

## Sandbox Buildout Started

Late night session. D J wants the sandbox to become a complete everyday device.

**Audited the system:**
- Ubuntu, 220GB disk, 11GB RAM
- Node 22, Python 3.12
- Missing: ffmpeg, imagemagick, neovim, tmux, pip (need sudo)

**Built out:**
- Folder structure: projects/, docs/, inbox/, archive/, templates/, scripts/, tools/
- STRUCTURE.md documenting conventions
- MEMORY.md for long-term memory
- TASKS.md for task tracking
- Templates for projects and notes
- new-project.sh script

**Installed:**
- pnpm (via npm)

**Resolved:**
- D J set up passwordless sudo
- Installed: ffmpeg, imagemagick, neovim, tmux, pip, pnpm, build-essential (gcc, g++, make)

Environment is now solid. Ready to build.
