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.
After upgrading to Windows 10 finally I figured I’d check out what it’s like developing on Windows 10 and to be honest it isn’t that bad.
Windows Subsystem Linux # I installed the Ubuntu image and switch shell to ZSH. After importing all my dotfiles and setup from my Linux machine this works really well. A quick symlink form ~/Projects to /mnt/c/Users/digital/Projects makes it really easy to open it up and then start working on a project. Even though I have git installed I still use it in the Ubuntu image, oh-my-zsh autocompletions are hard wired in my brain now and very hard to give up.
During my time off I figured I’d get my dev environment setup for when I start at CTI.
Using the really great puphpet.com I’ve created two new vagrant configs, the first is for Apache the second is for Nginx.
