First Post

If you’re reading this, it means I got the site successfully up and going. This site isn’t necessarily difficult, I just need to remember to update it every so often.

Catching Up

Here’s what I’ve been doing recently:

1. Re-visited the HP Stream 7

I looked at it in 2019, but just recently made a video with the information from a year ago. My goal is to try some more distros with it to give an actual 2020 update.

2. Creative Writing

I have been writing for a secret project that will be releasing soon. Check this space for details later.

3. DevOps

I have put together two sites: this one, and one for the secret project listed above. Both use the Hugo framework extensively, but I would also like the site for the other project to have a graphical way to edit the Markdown Files for Hugo so that my other teammates can add posts to the website.

I tried setting up CodiMD on the site, but was unable to get it configured correctly, either through setting it up via GIT or through their “easy Docker installer.” Speaking with someone else who had recently created a CodiMD server, they used Cloudron, which does not work on Ubuntu 20.04, which is what that server is running.

4. 3D Modeling

I put about 16 hours into Blender, creating a model for the secret project I mentioned earlier. There has been good feedback and I’ve learned a lot. The biggest issue is that a lot of the time I put into it isn’t consecutive, so I forget a lot by the time I get back to it.

5. Development

About a year ago I made a Twitter bot for watching WINE, DXVK, Proton, and Proton GE releases. This year, I put together some good pull requests to make it better (and complete Hacktoberfest). The source code for that can be found here

6. Fun

I just picked up Outer Wilds on a Steam sale and WOW it is such an amazing game. It hurts me that I have so much stuff going on right now because I really, really just want to open that game and just play it for hours. The last game that intrigued me like this was Return of the Obra Dinn, which is another fantastic game with very similar circumstances.

That’s about it, even though it’s just a smidge of what’s going on right now. I plan to update this more as life goes along.
