Is it you that I recall reading about who is/was living on the big island? Would be neat to meet up sometime if you're open to it, would be neat to see what you've built considering that you also do software development :)
Hey, not the poster you responded to, but I am an off-gridder in Puna who codes and actually was classmates with Luke Evslin (super good guy back then, sounds like he still is). I would love for a group of big island Hacker News reading off-gridders to get to know each other!
