  • Wants Not Needs

    Want a Mavic Air for landscapes. Want and sometimes need a very wide lens for inside shots.

  • Jekyll, Codeship, Rakefile, and GitHub Pages

    Yah! I figured it out. When I looked for the solution, I found many sites with the same rakefile settings but none of them really helped me to figure out what I needed to do. I had to pick parts from each site to make mine work and I had to figure out some of […]

  • My Gutenberg Experience on macOS

    I’ve seen so many posts on the pros and cons of Gutenberg thanks to Khürt Williams sharing links with me on email and in his blog. Thankfully, my blog is using Jekyll and I’ve set it up where it just works for well for my needs. I have at least two websites using Gutenberg, one […]

  • Choosing Your Web Platform

    This was written in response to an email question. I’m paraphrasing the question. I’m just trying to figure out how to get on the web with very little expense…. I had dabbled in HTML years ago and thought I might go that route with some help…. There are plenty of helpful step-by-step videos on YouTube […]

  • Custom Calendar Feed

    On a church calendar there is an export button but it only allows you to export the current view you have on the website. I wanted to be able to grab all the events for the year and come back later to update. Ideal would be to have the actual feed if they update it […]

  • Toast

    A no-nonsense CSS grid Toast

  • Blue In The Face

    I have toyed with the idea of closing my Facebook account but…. A long time ago in a galaxy far away, I didn’t use Facebook. I used a dumb flip phone and was quite content with it. Then I started making friends who didn’t live on this side of the pond, my work required it, […]

  • 15 Years Ago

    What were you doing 15 years ago? 15 years ago, it was 2003. I definitely wasn’t writing on a blog then. I was starting my electronics degree and later a networking certificate with Cisco networking classes at South Piedmont Community College in North Carolina and heavy into the Amateur Radio hobby. During that time, the […]

  • Privacy And Security

    Privacy, not wanting the world to know everything about you or not wanting to be tracked by individuals or bots. Security, a sense of being comfortable, a belief that you are secure from everyone around you, knowing that your stuff is safe from the elements, or that your location is unknown to people that might […]
