This is my blog. A knob log. Knob blog has been around since 2006. It used to be mostly about running, then it was dead, then some lame technobabble stuff, and now we’ll see where it goes.
Start at the beginning with the first post, about God and this blog, or read the latest posts below.

Barr Lake 15K Race Report May 24, 2022 - With less than 12 hours of notice or forethought, I decided to run the Barr Lake 15K. I came across the race listing looking for 5K races later this summer, and initially the half-marathon portion of the event caught my eye. I’m familiar with Barr Lake State Park from birding excursions with Jessica, and I […]
Super Bowl 5K Race Report February 11, 2022 - As I’ve mentioned many times on this blog and on my Josheli Running video channel, I’ve had a goal for about two years now to run a 5K in under 20 minutes as a 50 year old. This Sunday, at the Super Bowl 5K in Denver, I came a little bit closer to achieving the […]
Episode 7: Winter Running and My Fastest 5K in 13 Years February 7, 2022 - The latest installment of my running vlog, Josheli Running, is up on YouTube. In Episode 7: Winter Running and My Fastest 5K in 13 Years, we take a look at my week of running in a bit of snowy and icy conditions, I have a little motivation dip in the middle, and finally end the […]
Project JoRViP: Josheli Running Video Producer February 2, 2022 - I produce videos for the Josheli Running YouTube channel. Producing videos is tedious and time-consuming. It’d be great if I could automate, as much as possible, the production of those videos. This project, the Josheli Running Video Producer, will be an attempt to do just that. The idea is that I’ll build something in fits […]
My previous 15 months of running in my quest to run a sub-20 minute 5k at 50 years old January 31, 2022 - How about that title?! So I realized after posting my last video that it was my first one since August of 2020. I didn’t realize it had been that long. My running blog is similarly stale. So maybe more of an update is due here. In Fall of 2020 I was training with a very […]
Episode 6: Josheli Running Returns January 30, 2022 - And what do you know, no sooner than I had written the last blog post on writing and running, I was inspired to create a new video. A lot of that inspiration is due to The Welsh Runner. I’ve been watching his videos lately, and they’ve sparked a little fire in me. Running is going […]
Running, writing, and YouTubing January 30, 2022 - The technology focused entries on this blog are far and way the most popular, but they often feel too close to “work”, so I prefer writing about my running. Which no one cares about. No, that’s not true, or didn’t used to be. Back when Knob was humming, and I was fast, my running blog […]
Single Sign-on in Caddy Server Using only the Caddyfile and Basic Authentication February 24, 2021 - As mentioned, I’ve started self-hosting a lot of services, and in front of them all I have a reverse proxy using the Caddy Server. As always, with all web services, authentication is one of the bigger pain points. Typically, every service implements their own authentication mechanism, which becomes tiresome when you have to log in […]
Stupidly Simple, Static, Startpage for Self-hosted Services February 21, 2021 - I mentioned the other day that I’ve been self-hosting some software services on a server in my basement. Well, I build a stupidly simple, static startpage for those services. There are a lot of existing start pages or apps for start pages, like Homer or Heimdall. But they seem like overkill, with databases and build […]
A New, Old Hobby: Self-hosted Services February 21, 2021 - I’ve recently returned to a hobby of mine … self-hosting various software services and web applications on a server I maintain. I’ve hosted my own websites (and the websites of friends and family) for almost two decades, but that’s always been done using a server in the cloud, through a company that maintains the actual […]
