New year, who dis?
Abstract
Time is a flat circle
Body
I'm not going to mention last year in number, I don't even want to
hear people with perfect vision talk about their eyes. We're in a new
year, Drumpf is going to be out of office in less than three weeks,
and I have a new design for my blog…more like, LACK of design.
1. Why
I published a grand total of two posts last year. TWO. I was busy
working on personal projects, dealing with this general malaise of
uncertainty, and didn't feel like dealing with the annoying
process of updating my blog. Yuk. As a result though, I have
several half-finished posts I can/will upload this year since my
blog setup is extremely pared down.
Being an architech (a designer who codes and vice-versa) is hella
annoying. I am displeased by my design AND my code after a period
of time, and then I detest it far too much. Maybe my experience
and age has brought me to the point of realizing I don't need the
latest fancy UI ~~blemishes~~ features and tooling to get
something online. I *may* update this to support TypeScript and
`import`s because I quite enjoy that.
This blog is also missing analytics. They were never on the
front-end, but in the server. One of my many tasks this year is to
overhaul my analytics platform[1] to make it robust enough to
charge money for.
2. What (now)
I think adding automated deployments would be a nice
quality-of-life feature and would definitely encourage me to write
more. Currently, I have to upload a new text file to my server and
refresh the pm2 job. In any event, this blog is the first step in
realizing my personalOS[2] concept in concrete forms and I suppose
this is the year to document everything as I go through it.
You can check out the previous[3] incarnation of this blog if
you're curious to see what it was like.
I think 2021 is gonna be big for data portability and flat files
are the easiest way to do it. The fact that this blog is just a
single JavaScript file and a folder full of text files (okay AND
a couple Node.js modules 😒) is kind of neat…actually, that
wouldn't be a bad idea for socii[4] to implement. Maybe I'll
relaunch that soon. We'll see. 🕸
