I've been slacking
As is required, I've been slacking with maintaining a steady pace of updating this blog. Part of it has been due to travel where I haven't had a computer with me, but the larger part is the to-do list I have to fix the implementation of my stand-alone Hugo instance...
A while back, I got a wild hair and stayed up until like 2:30am working on getting Hugo up and running on the AWS stack so I could
- Work locally
- Push changes to git
- Have amazon run a build script
- deploy the blog in an S3 bucket
and I did! I got it all working!
And then I learned I did everything back-assward when it came to editing the theme I was using, because Hugo's documentation tells you to start with a theme but it doesn't tell you to not edit the theme directly but instead make all your edits in a different folder...
So now I have this list of things to tackle, first of which being "make a new branch on github" so I can essentially start from scratch, and it is hard to have the same level of enthusiasm to start from the beginning again.
But I'm going to work on it, because
- I want to
- Seeing that incomplete to-do is pissing me off
So yeah... I have it slotted in for my friday. Heads down, coding away.
