    Geez, this Monday has been one LONG week. What else can go wrong today?

    I re-built https://t.co/XrsX7SuSg8 this weekend.

    This site has no CMS, and no database. All of the content you see is fetched, and assembled together to create my site.

    When I update my GitHub profile, my site updates. When I publish a blog post, it gets added to my site. The problem with my personal site, is that it is never the best place to publish any of my content. As a result, my personal site sits there, dormant, unused, and neglected.

    I wanted to make my site as “set-it-and-forget-it” as possible, but still wanted it to update regularly.

    NGINX is neat!

    Today I learned that my big Dutch oven JUST BARELY fits in my oven if I take the rack out. THIS CHANGES THINGS

    I’m working on a rebuild of Alexstandiford.com. It’s currently a static site built with React, but I think I’m going to create a basic express app to serve a super simple REST API. Looking to make the site 100% consume other rest endpoints to build the entire site.

    2 Posts published this week, all because I told myself “just 5 words and you can stop.”

    4 of the days this week, I wrote 2 sentences. 2 of those days I busted out 90% of a post.

    You’ll never publish blog content if you don’t at least try.

    Well dammit, I’m jealous of the snow today. Grass is always greener (or is it snow is always whiter?)
