All the stuff, I’ve been hoarding over the past year for the newsletter. Ryan Holiday’s 100 (Short) Rules for a Better Life 4 - Say no (a lot). 15 - It’s not about routine but about practices. 71 - Go the f*ck to sleep. 81 - Don’t just read books, re-read books. ...
I finally got done, moving the blog from Nikola to Hugo today. I already wrote about why I did it. These are a few more thoughts about what went into the endeavour; and some colophonesque details. One, really small hope, is that it will help me learn Go. The DevOps world that I now seek to enter, speaks Go. I also, now run two Go programs that are indispensible to me, Hugo and Miniflux. And being the control freak, that I am, I’d love to tweak them to just how I like it. Nikola did help learn me Python, after all. ...
Moved over from Nikola, to Hugo today. In two minds about what to do with all the old posts. Do I just shed them all, like I’ve done in the past? Or work to move them over? Maybe, tomorrow’ll bring clarity. In the meanwhile, this is a house under construction, y’all! Stuff does not work, stuff looks wonky, and stuff both, looks wonky and doesn’t work.

It’s way past our anniversary on the 10th of September. But that day was filled with togetherness. And the days before and after were filled with all sorts of madness, both personal and professional. Dear Abby, it’s been a decade. And it’s flown by us like a quarrel of sparrows. Here now, and vanished in the next instant. And yet when I look back on it, we’ve been through so much. ...
