Looking for Stock Photography
3/17/2021
When I started this project I knew I was going to need some photography. But, I was not quite sure what to do at first nor was it all that important to get the blog off the ground. So, I kicked this off with nothing but screenshots. Now that…

Lessons Learned from Teaching a 6-year-old
2/26/2021
How did I learn these lessons? I am certain that I am not unique in this aspect of life where I have a 6-year-old family member that is interested in video games. This person just so happens to be my nephew. One afternoon we were together the younger…

Setting Up A Domain
2/19/2021
Until this point in time, I was falling back on the GitLab Pages domain. There is nothing wrong with this domain. It was as personal as my GitLab username. However, it was missing a personalization aspect that I want. So why not buy a domain and use…

Introduction: Partial Views
2/7/2021

Simple Styling
2/6/2021
Once the new theme was deployed out to GitLab pages. I began scrolling through it, thinking how painful it is to read through this. It is difficult to determine where one post ends and the next begins. It just feels like a big blob of text. What do…

Now things are UGLY
2/5/2021
Scratch that, this theme is REALLY UGLY right now. You may ask, "Why would you ever do this?". Which is a fair question. Recall in my earlier post about a theme, where this theme is going to be approached with an agile mindset? Then how…

What is an EJS file
2/4/2021
Before getting started with Hexo and poking around at the existing Hexo theme. You could have walked up to me and proposed "Tell me what a *.ejs file is and I will give you a million dollars.". I would have not become a millionaire. I had no clue…

Things Are About To Get Ugly
1/28/2021
Until now this blog has been relying on the default Hexo landscape theme. It is time for that to change. While one could go to the library of Hexo themes and choose one off the shelf. But, where is the fun in that? Also, that would shorten this blog…

GitLabPage YML Breakdown

Rather than establish an understanding of CI/CD (continuous integration / continuous deployment). In this post, I would rather skip over that and talk about this specific example. There is a benefit in understanding the why, however, sometimes we…

Setting Up a GitLab Page
1/26/2021
Before we dig into the "how" of getting this project set up. I think it is important to understand the "why" we use source control. For those who are solo developers on side projects, source control may seem like a terrible burden. First, you have to…
