Adding Social Icons to Ghost
In the process of putting my fitness blog (back)together, I decided I was actually going to need to put the social icons in place. Especially if I wanted to make the most of it (secret plans in progre...
A Slippery Slope for Mozilla
\EDIT: Updated @ 2020/08/14 - Issue with the Mozilla Blog link (Thanks [@esparta) and added note to LWN link (Thanks @michel\slm).] You'd be hard pushed to have missed the terrible news that the Mozil...
Day 100 - #100DaysToOffload
This is it, the final day, day 100. I truly never thought I would make it. I clicked the link to bring myself to this dashboard and kept getting a "Server not found error". That would have been typica...
A Flurry of Orders
I had to place a few orders today for parts for the bike. The postman is probably going to hate me but hopefully all the parts will arrive before next week when I have some time off. Some jobs to do a...
Updates & Organisation in Ghost
This blog has been up and running a while now and keeping it up-to-date has been truly effortless. It's simply a case of typing "ghost update". While I could automate this with cron, I much prefer kee...
Friday, Payday, Yay Day!
It's Friday, it's payday and as some others in the team like to call it, Yay day! What a long old week it has been. I won't go in to detail as I've moaned enough in my previous few posts. I'm actually...
A Bit of a Rush Post
Today has been an action packed fuckaroo (Dreamcatcher reference - Read it!). Not only was it my circle jerk Thursday, but we had settings deployed en-mass to every single user due to a script fuck up...
Too Busy to Talk
The return to work after a long weekend has been an utter disaster. Users were clicking on phishing emails left, right, up, down and all around willy-nilly with no regard for the consequences. Sometim...
The Final Few Posts - #100DaysToOffload
Today marks post number 94 of #100DaysToOffload and boy oh boy has it been a journey. I'll save the summary type spiel for post 100 but wow, I never thought I'd make it this far. Pre-amble With the im...
There's an App for that - Unfortunately
I was browsing Reddit earlier today and came across a story posted to r/privacy - "Headphones are collecting too much personal data". Before even reading the article my first reaction was that of comp...
Searching for Ghosts
In my never ending quest to find a suitable solution to my search requirements in Ghost, I finally came across Ghost Hunter jamalneufeld/ghostHunter \ A Ghost blog search engine. Contribute to jamalne...
A Quick Look - Microsoft PowerToys for Windows 10
Pre-Warning: I still need to add Alt-Text to the screenshots. I'm afraid I was in a rush in getting this post together. For those that need it, I apologise and it will be updated. I haven't done a Mic...
Day Off - Avoiding Computers & Phones
Today was the start of a long weekend. As much as I wanted to play games and blow shit up, I made an effort to stay away from my computer and phone screens. We all spend far too much time attached to...
A Long Weekend
Today is a cause for celebration. Not only do I have tomorrow off, but also Monday which makes this a full long weekend. This is probably a good thing as I have no idea how I was going to get through...
A Static U-Turn
Yesterday I posted about considering a move from Ghost over to a static site in an effort to save the $5/month I currently pay for hosting this particular blog. I received some fantastic feedback from...
Thoughts on Static
I've been thinking for a while that Ghost may be complete overkill for what I need, especially when #100DaysToOffload comes to an end as I'll be posting a lot less. Do I really need a full Linode runn...
A Roller-coaster of Emotions
There has been one thing that has got me through the fact that Monday means back to work after what feels like weekends that last about 5 minutes. That thing has been a new episode of Snowpiercer on N...
A Faulty Firefox
I began today with such good intentions, but that wasn't to be. I got a few things done but the research I planned on doing I can no longer be bothered to do after resolving an unexpected issue. After...
GitBook Emails
I recently posted about my not so positive first impression over GitBook. It's not that the service was bad by any stretch. More that I felt some fundamentals were needlessly locked behind a "Team" pl...
Diving in to The Matrix
As a bit of a follow-up to my previous post on taking a look at Matrix services I decided to venture down this rabbit hole a little further. I have been using an account on Mozilla's servers for a cou...
