• r15-papercss Template Infrastrucutre Work

  Sickness has run it’s course through the family, and unfortunately has prevented me from devoting the time I wanted to. I was able to scoop a little bit of time this morning, and have a functioanl terraform template working. The PR is not merged yet, as I need to get a working Github Action pipeline functional first. Hopefully in the next few days. My overall goal was to make the r15-papercss-hugo-theme easily hostable.

• Template Work

  While a bit of a distraction, I wanted to ensure my primary template had a good demonstration. CloudFlare’s Pages seems perfect. A generic static website hosting, and has built in support for Hugo. But despite the confiugration made available in the GUI, I was unable to get the Cloudflare working to accept the custom parameters I needed to allow the exampleSite within the template to work. My new plan is to leverage a traditional Github Action workflow to build out the site, then manually upload the assets to Cloudflare.

• Update the Main Blog Template

  A busy day, so just stuck with updating the template on my main blog to match the template update I made on 2/19. Also some minor cleanup, as I no loger have the GitPod links on my readme page.

• Template Adjustments

  Although raw ASCII text is my plan for data preservation, most people would like to view/browse information. Hugo is the static site generator I use for my public site. I’ve had a desire to keep family recipe, and coffee reviews, publically available. With that smaller goal in mind, I updated my hugo template to include recipe and coffee subtypes, as a first step. I should say mine with an astrisk that my template is a copy of the original PaperCSS Hugo Template but was archived last year.

• Preserving Info Kickoff

  First day of my 100 day project to perserve information! Most of today was spent building out this project page! In effect this post itself is a representation of what I wish to accomplish - storing data in a format that is accessible for future. In that regard, the raw data is in ASCII format - probably the most readable text format, at a base level. My primary “base” formats will be ASCII for text, and JPEG for images.
