Agents Don't Need Databases. They Need Scratchpads.

Agents work differently than humans. They spin up an idea, try it, throw it away. They don't need a database they'll maintain forever. They need a scratchpad.

ghost gives every agent task its own Postgres database. Fork production in 58ms. Same schema, same data, fully isolated. Run the risky query. Test the migration. Let the agent do whatever it needs. When the task is done, delete it. Nothing bleeds into the next task.

No project limits. No shared staging database where one agent's migration breaks everyone else's queries. No cron jobs cleaning up stale instances. No naming conventions that nobody follows.

Each fork is a full database. Each one costs nothing when idle. 100 hours/month free. 1TB storage. No credit card.

A Fraud Case With a Dublin Connection

A Dublin resident is named in a fraud case out of Minnesota, according to charges filed this week. Two people — one with a Dublin address — are accused of hacking into a small business's email account and using it to send fake invoices to two of the business's real customers, well-known names in the drag racing world.

A Fraud Case With a Dublin Connection

Both companies paid up, believing the invoices were legitimate since they came from an email address they already trusted. One paid $6,000, the other more than $7,600 — both to bank accounts unrelated to the business they thought they were paying. The whole thing worked because the invoices looked exactly like the real ones the business normally sent — same email, same formatting, nothing that would raise a flag at a glance.

This isn't the first time we've seen this kind of thing, and unfortunately it probably won't be the last. Summer has a way of creating just enough distraction for scams like this to slip through. If you run a business around here, or you're the one who pays the bills, a quick phone call to confirm new payment details — before sending money, not after — is the real safeguard. The email itself won't tip you off.

Dublin's Hockey Kid Was Just Hired by the Blue Jackets

Trent Vogelhuber grew up in Dublin, and his hockey story is worth knowing now that it's reached the NHL. Back in 2007, the Blue Jackets picked him with the very last selection of the draft — 211th overall — making him the first central Ohio player the team had ever drafted.

Dublin's Hockey Kid Was Just Hired by the Blue Jackets

He played seven seasons as a pro forward in the AHL, including a Calder Cup championship with the Cleveland Monsters in 2016, before chronic knee injuries ended his playing career at 29. He didn't leave the game — he moved straight into coaching, working his way up to head coach of the Monsters in 2022, becoming the youngest head coach in the AHL at the time. Over four seasons there, he posted a 145-108-35 record and helped develop several of the Blue Jackets' current core players, including Kirill Marchenko, Cole Sillinger, and Kent Johnson.

This week, it became official: Vogelhuber is moving up to the Blue Jackets' NHL bench as an assistant coach under Rick Bowness, with a specific task ahead of him — fixing a penalty kill unit that finished near the bottom of the league last season.

A Dublin kid, the last pick in his draft class, now coaching in the NHL. It’s a story I'll be rooting for this season.
