A New Years Resolution</h1> + <p>I like to write small hacky things from time to time when I have a + weekend to myself, or a day, or an hour... But I never had a place to put + them or the push to complete them beyond their initial hack. So I decided + I should write a blog about it.</p> + <p>Also for work I had to write some prose about myself, something beyond + a technical document or RFC and I realized I am shit at writing my + thoughts outside of a very direct specific technical way.</p> + <p>I am not sure if it is the age of the internet I grew up in where most + of my written communication was informal or for school. But my personal + writing skills are trash and this is my attempt to kill all the birds + with one stone</p> + <h2>What can be expected here</h2> + <p>My intentions for this site beyond just a landing page with my resume, + I hope to upload some code-snippets from things I found interesting, + ideally some recordings, drawings, and model-painting.</p> + <h2>How often do I intend to update this blog</h2> + <p>Ideally, whenever I have something that I feel is worth sharing. But + for the sake of my resolution I want to do at least one post a month, and + if I am keeping my other resolutions I should have content to put + here</p> + <h2>Designing my site</h2> + <p>Designing this blog actually took way more time than it should have. + It began when I wanted to tackle a <i>javascriptless</i> website. And I + found that a bit difficult if I wanted to have code with syntax + highlighting. So I wrote a python script to generate <code class= + 'inline'><pre></code> tag wrapping Java code with partial syntax + highlighting.Possibly mistaking <code class='inline'>highlight.js</code> + usage documentation. But I would like to prevent having javascript on my + main website keeping it as simplistic as possible.</p> + <p>I test the site using both <code class='inline'>tidy</code> and + <code class='inline'>nginx</code> via <code class='inline'>docker</code>. + Using tidy I can validate the html (making sure I didn't miss any + tags etc) and tidy up any odd spacing. And then visually test it running + nginx. Having it served up similarly to s3 all the paths will work, and + is insanely easy to setup! If you're reading this and have anything + beyond a simple html file I recommend running docker + nginx over any + javascript server.</p> + <p>Then I deploy the site through <code class='inline'>s3-cli</code> + Which is simple and to the point.</p> + <h2>In Closing</h2> + <p>I wanted to include more but I ran out of time today to write more, I + will probably update this article with more information (and an updated + timestamp). Or just make another post of my code highlighting task.</p> + </article> + |
