The website
Back in 2017 (see the first post) I created a basic static website served from AWS s3 buckets. Quickly putting together something with Hugo and the npf theme, the prototype went live but I never got around to polishing it up and actually adding any content. Whilst it has been on the back of my mind for the last 4(!) years, it only really hit home how long it had been that this project had been neglected when a “days since created” attribute was displaying a rather large number north of 1500.
In the meantime of course, things have changed and the “quick” update to add Cloudfront to gain HTTPS took longer than expected since, additionally, installing the (latest) Hugo and previous theme didn’t just work out of the box like I recall it doing before. Sigh.
Anyways, It’s now up and running, being published from an Emacs org file via ox-hugo. There’s many, many tweaks I should make to the layout and pages but the main structure is there and it’s good enough.
It’s organised into the following sections:
- Posts
- Notes
- Quotes
- Potpourri
- About
Posts
This is for longer articles which distill thoughts or have some organising principals behind them. It may also contain shorter “how-to”’s and guides. Eventually I hope there will be some essay-like posts putting forth ideas and experiences which take a while to mull over. However the majority are likely to be ideas that have been bubbling around for days or weeks, rather than longer timespans, or documenting configurations and setups for small projects in the hope that it will help future-me or someone else taking a similar path.
Notes
Posts should contain at least a few paragraphs and may deserve a table of contents; anything that is a fleeting though, a random factoid, a thing I learnt today or something else you might write in a lab notebook can be found in this section.
Quotes
Interesting quotes. Enough said.
Potpourri
An assortment of resources. A blogroll with not just blogs. Things I’ve found of interest and may want to refer back to, or that other people with similar interests may also find useful.
