About this site

Andrew's Notes is an independent personal publication owned and operated by Andrew Talbot. This site serves as a living repository for my documentation, technical notes, and opinions – ranging from finance and economics, to product development, business strategy, infrastructure architecture, and personal philosophy.

It is powered by Ghost CMS, an open-source platform dedicated to independent publishing, ensuring that the content remains sovereign and owned entirely by the creator.

If you are enjoying the speed and responsiveness of this site, you are experiencing the Leapjuice difference.

I didn't just choose a random hosting provider for Andrew's Notes; I built the platform it runs on. This site is deployed on the Leapjuice High-Performance Hub, utilizing:

• Compute: Google Cloud C4D AI Processors (Powered by 5th Gen AMD EPYC™ Turin).
• Storage: Hyperdisk Balanced (500 MB/s throughput, 5,000 IOPS) to eliminate database bottlenecks.
• Network: Google Cloud Premium Tier fiber backbone for global delivery.

Leapjuice bridges the gap between the freedom of open-source software and the reliability of Fortune 500 enterprise infrastructure. We support Ghost, WordPress, PeerTube, Odoo, and a library of other powerful apps.

Build Your Automation Empire One of my favorite tools for managing this site is n8n—an open-source workflow automation tool that connects my apps and services seamlessly.The Annual Perk: Every Annual Plan on Leapjuice (starting at the Pro tier) includes a Free Dedicated Server for your choice of n8n (Automation) or Joplin (Encrypted Notes).The Power User: Enterprise Annual plans receive BOTH servers for free.
