Sister is engaged! <3
I still have to write my Ghana post, but it’s taking some time getting the motiviation to do that.
In the meantime, I wrote a quick little app that I’ve been meaning to for a while. It’s a python note app for taking quick notes from the terminal.
It’s available at github under an MIT license.
$ note I should find a gatsby plugin that converts emojis automatically
$ cat ~/notes.yml

Eh. Cool.
I was really hoping to do the Inca trail, but all the tour permits are sold out for April.
I’m trying to find a tour that goes from April 17th - April 27th. It’d be a quick, short tour before going to see my sister’s graduation on the 28th.
It’s difficult to get the motiviation for any specific trip or tour as I really had my heart set on doing the Inca trail.
I found a tour that seems cool, it goes north from Costa Rica to Guatemala. It’s 17 days long, and that just seems too long. I will be gone in August as well for about that long, so it’s a non-starter.
So this blog is cool, but deploying it is a bit difficult. I’ve started
tinkering with Docker in the hopes that I can create a docker image that
runs the whole thing. Ideally, I’d just run rsync
and have the blog
updated.
Unfortunately for the build and run at the moment, I have to run:
$ rm -rf public .cache && gatsby build --prefix-paths
$ gatsby serve --prefix-paths
They are in my package.json, so it’s as simple as yarn build && yarn start
but it’s still going to cause ~5 minutes of downtime.
Also, getting an AWS certification. So maybe I’ll switch some things over to their services.
At the moment, I’m using DigitalOcean, and their pricing is pheneomenal. I am worried about hosting the images here though, I think it might be better to put them on github or something, and link directly to them.
