2025-08-19 Notes

Goals

Make tiny progress. It’s raining cats and dogs since the day before. The city’s just about to give up. So best be prepared for whatever comes today

Created a Mint web app for my Hugo live views, so that now I have a dedicated window to preview while writing.
2025-08-19 10:01: As predicted, a power cut!
2025-08-19 10:30: Back to work
2025-08-19 11:03: Reinstalling docker! BRB
2025-08-19 11:15: This is like herding cats. You catch one, and there’s another one biting and scratching. Grr.
2025-08-19 11:43: Chapter 3 of the book is done!
learned docker and how to upload my docker image to a private container registry created (and deleted) one on aws. learned how to authenticate with aws cli learnt how to tag images with the private repos url and push to it
2025-08-19 13:00: Calling it quits for today. Ended by finally successfully creating an Azure account for the lessons

Done with my NMC work AND my HTRAB post for the day! Woohoo!
2025-08-19 16:25: Planned tomorrow. Now to learn some Rust. And then call it a day. The rains are really lashing the window now!
2025-08-19 16:54: Smol note. Focus better today than yesterday
2025-08-19 18:15: Learning a new language, Rust, once again feels like the blind man touching the elephant, trying to figure out the shape of the thing and whatsits use
This seems to be less about learning a new language and more about learning new concepts about programming that I’m unfamiliar with. Go made me appreciate types, and Rust seems to want to make me love them
2025-08-19 18:57: Done for the day. Figured out primitive data types in Rust
