Let's Get Meta Jun 10

I gotta say I’m really enjoying Hugo and learning my way, very slowly, around Markdown. Emacs certainly helps with composition. And honestly Markdown is really easy overall. I remember back in the day when I was first learning to code webpages, and writing HTML by hand, with a whole lot of trial and error. I found a nice Markdown guide if you’re interested in learning. Seriously, I just skimmed through it right now and it was a great little crash course. A friend on Mastodon gave me another guide that I need to check out soon too.

Hugo on the go May 29

Welcome! Here I’m attempting to chronicle my attempts (and many errors) at being able to update my Hugo site from my tablet. It took a while to figure it out, but I think I’ve sorted out a proper workflow to get it to work without a hitch. I’m doing this on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Wifi (SM-P610), but you can certainly get it to work on any other device, including a phone, if you so choose; you can do this in a number of ways.

Hello from my tablet May 24

Hello there! I’m writing this in Markor on my tablet. I set it up so I can ssh into the VPS from my tablet.

A Deep Dive into Alaska in Winter Oct 30

No, I am not talking about literally diving into Alaska in the dead of winter. That would be foolhardy at best, and frostbite-inducing at worst. I’m talking about one of the best bands you’ve likely never heard of, Alaska in Winter – one of my favorites for close to 15 years now. (CW: mental health, suicide mentioned within, caveat lector)

Pixelated Glitchy Dreams Sep 6

It’s been a pensive weekend in many ways. We have a 3-day weekend, for which I am very grateful, and I’ve rested up a lot and recuperated from the barrage of work lately. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love my job, but neither me nor my wife have had a vacation in way too long. We have a week-long vacation coming up soon to see my family in Oregon, and I’m super, super excited about it as a chance to recharge. I haven’t seen my mom since 2018, and haven’t seen my dad for almost as long, and haven’t seen my sister since 2018 either.
