This problem has been plaguing me for months now so I thought I’d write down everything I’ve done to try and solve the issue of the 10 minute js file.

I should add thoughts to the site. Small form comments sort of like tweets

I’ve moved to Hugo after probably the shortest time with any site generator. Firstly I love to change the theme of blog I get blog envy quite easily these days. But I’m not a themer so I don’t attempt to create anything like what I see on other sites.

All my keyboards Time for an update on my keyboard collection! After part 1 I’ve expanded the collection and gotten rid of a few. Top left - YMD09 macro pad aka the zoom killer. Top - KBD75 - Gateron Browns, I’m typing this post on it right now. Middle - Winkeyless b.87 - Gateron Browns with Raindrop Round 2 on, this was my previous daily driver. Bottom - Iris - Zealios 67g and Gateron Browns, this is a keyboard I really should get used to using but just can’t. Right - Fourier - Gateron Blues, I need to put keycaps on and start using it. I really love everything about keyboards, they’re such an important part of my daily life as a DevOps Engineer. It’s taken me a while to get used to some of the layouts.

It’s been over a year since I last blogged, there are a number of reasons: Broken realease pipeline (well not quite but it was messy) I wanted to move everything to docker I hated the way the blog looked A few weeks ago I started to the move to GatsbyJS after a few false starts I finally got there. Once I had everything migrated including updating all the frontmatter (this took ages), I was ready to deploy it. I have multiple server on DigitalOcean all capable of hosting a static blog but decided that I wanted to offload everything to AWS to learn more about the tools available.
