This concept is covered by the “Join the Attention Resistance” chapter, and, …
- Busy Times
Providing a quick update on my lack of, well, updates.

- New Theme
Finally customized my theme a bit!

I’ve considered this from various angles, but one method of protection worth …

A scalable site.
Continue reading →Introduction Info: This is not a full step by step guide, but one that can be used in combination with the standard guides available! Also I plan to update this after some time, so it will get better. 🙈 For those curious this guide is how I got this site up and running using a combination of Github, as the deployment automation and hosting of the site, and Hugo, a static website generator tool, using the Congo theme. …

Hello World.
Continue reading →Introduction The classic initialization of any project always ends up beginning with those words. I’ve decided to take another shot at curating a digital space for myself. In the past I have tried to create websites using various frameworks and tools, but they always became more work than I felt they were worth.
