I am happy with the tweaking for today. I have other projects I wish to work on. This will suffice for writing notes and making new blog posts.

I fixed a bug I was running into on my own system with regard to my “blip.sh” script. This taught me to test my inputs before executing a script without making assumptions about the system. Still, my blog post files didn’t work on windows because they had the incorrect naming schema. Apparently, Windows doesn’t allow colons in the name. So I used tr which translates or deletes characters to loop through the file names and remove all the colons.

I finally have WSL set up on my new desktop. It wasn’t fun reinstalling all my programs and moving my data, but I’m glad it’s finally finished. Now I’m working on my flight sim blog post and some other fun activities. Perhaps I will update how my build went and other thoughts about Windows.

Virtually all of my electronics are old but well running, which is both great and frustrating. It means justifying purchasing new PC parts, cameras, or cell phones is impossible. However it does mean I save money and can wait longer to buy something new down the road, which means better hardware for the same price. Most of my gripes about the hardware I currently own simply revolve around gaming, especially for portability or playing demanding titles.

I am starting job applications for software engineering and devops positions. In the meanwhile I will continue doing both web and game design within my personal time. Thankfully my career in IT still engages me, so I will continue studying networking and sysadmin skills for fun if I do change roles in tech.

Today I’m trying to set up my server on an ARM single board computer. I have an H616 based android TV box that I want to repurpose for email and web hosting. I’m flashing a micro-SD card at a coffee shop so it’ll be awhile before I can troubleshoot any potential hiccups that it ran into. There are several repositories I’ve found for Armbian, but the one labled as H616 is well worth a try.

I successfully added blips to my blog. I’m pretty happy with that. While doing the edits tonight, it is clear my Neovim configs need an update as well. But it’s getting late so I’ll postpone that for now. It isn’t good to become sidetracked so quickly.

Time to add the blip section to my blog’s nav. Actually customizing it and adding it as a sub-menu item will come later.

Found a few nice little animations for websites like like this handwritten animation, a nice submit button, perlin art, and some decent svg art

I’m getting a little tired of creating blips using the full ./blip.sh typeout. I would rather be able to write “blip” in the terminal, so I’m adding it to my .bashrc
