Lincoln, Nebraska Technology, photography, and a little ranting
I build, document, photograph, and tinker with systems that make useful work easier.
I am Ben Costello: an IT leader, project builder, photographer, and long-time web tinkerer working across infrastructure, automation, documentation, and the occasional side quest.
Photography
Weblog
Writing, notes, and technical traces.
What I Do
Practical IT, automation, documentation, and media instincts.
Systems
Operating systems, endpoints, servers, and the daily infrastructure people rely on.
Automation
Small scripts, launchers, repeatable workflows, and fewer unnecessary clicks.
Cloud
VPS images, virtual machines, hosting environments, and practical deployment help.
Documentation
Clear process notes, software instructions, and technical handoffs people can follow.
Media
Photography, audio/video experience, and an eye for how technical work is presented.
Projects
Current work, useful archives, and experiments worth keeping.
Theia
Installation notes for a cloud IDE expirament on a hosted instance of Ubuntu on Digital Ocean
Custom Launchers
Portable toolboxes, shortcut launchers, and small automation workflows for workstations.

Digital Ocean
Custom VPS images, droplets, and practical hosting help for small projects.
Portfolio
