== From Jekyll to Hugo
|
|
|
|
|
First and foremost, the blog has moved from
|
|
|
|
|
https://jekyllrb.com[Jekyll] to https://gohugo.io/[Hugo].
|
|
|
|
|
I could create a theme but it would take me way longer
|
|
|
|
|
than should just to migrate the blog so for now I settled
|
|
|
|
|
with the https://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-theme-terminal/[Terminal]
|
|
|
|
|
since I'm starting to appreciate terminal-themed websites
|
|
|
|
|
(also, I think it's easier for me to design a terminal-themed website
|
|
|
|
|
if I have to create one).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've ported the blog to Hugo for multitude of reasons:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Speed
|
|
|
|
|
* Ease of content management
|
|
|
|
|
* More organized approach for my content
|
|
|
|
|
* Built-in support for blogging with https://asciidoctor.org/[Asciidoctor]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Built-in support for https://asciidoctor.org/[Asciidoctor] although
|
|
|
|
|
it's mostly done through calling external programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Though Jekyll https://asciidoctor.org/[does have a plug-in for blogging with Asciidoctor],
|
|
|
|
|
I don't really want another plug-in for that. I just want a
|
|
|
|
|
static site generator with built-in support for blogging with Asciidoctor and
|
|
|
|
|
Hugo just provides that. The speed and ease of configuration is
|
|
|
|
|
also a really large bonus.

== Change of purpose
|
|
|
|
|
The blog is in hiatus due to me taking notes in
|
|
|
|
|
https://www.latex-project.org/[LaTeX] now and a change of
|
|
|
|
|
purpose for my blog. I already have a
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/foo-dogsquared/personal-notes/[a storage for my notes]
|
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/foo-dogsquared/a-remote-repo-full-of-notes-of-things-i-do-not-know-about/[another for my lecture/detailed notes]
|
|
|
|
|
so I don't see any point to make this as an all-around notes notebook.
|
|
|
|
|
It's too repetitive to have it around so the vision for my blog
|
|
|
|
|
has changed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's what I think my online notes should be divided with these three
|
|
|
|
|
outlets:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* My notes storage would be short/slightly detailed notes on random things.
|
|
|
|
|
This is basically where my _Simplified!_-type of notes should get in.
|
|
|
|
|
* My lecture notes are where detailed studies of subjects or concepts
|
|
|
|
|
should go.
|
|
|
|
|
* My blog will be about... I don't know, really. I do have a set of ideas that I
|
|
|
|
|
think it's suitable for blogging about it so let's just find out along the
|
|
|
|
|
way.

== Blog clean-up and revision
|
|
|
|
|
Since the overall purpose of the blog has been changed, so does the little
|
|
|
|
|
details that make up the blog.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've cleaned up my blog by removing most of the posts that I think it's not
|
|
|
|
|
suitable for the blog anymore. The _Learnings and Resources_ series will be reset
|
|
|
|
|
(starting this month) with a couple of revisions and improvement for the reading experience.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The _Simplified!_ series is still going to be up and coming with revisions and a new
|
|
|
|
|
style of technical writing. My https://github.com/foo-dogsquared/personal-notes/[personal notes]
|
|
|
|
|
is still going to have the style of _Simplified!_ series I was originally going for.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've been thinking about revising my writing style as well. I mostly view my
|
|
|
|
|
current style as too verbose. I've learned that it's became a
|
|
|
|
|
pain to read for my future self if I were to revisit a concept/study again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With the revised writing style, I also want to improve my writing by adopting a new
|
|
|
|
|
writing workflow. This is basically the stuff you would encounter in a high school
|
|
|
|
|
writing class but I've been less compliant with it over the last few posts (before the
|
|
|
|
|
change).

|
|
== Conclusion
|
|
|
|
|
The blog is under change and it's not suitable to be a student's notebook anymore and
|
|
|
|
|
it goes on to my https://github.com/foo-dogsquared/personal-notes/[online]
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/foo-dogsquared/a-remote-repo-full-of-notes-of-things-i-do-not-know-about/[notes].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Along with the change of purpose is a change of style and presentation for my
|
|
|
|
|
studies. Starting with the last quarter of the year is taking the more challenging route
|
|
|
|
|
for improvement and hopefully this change reflect that as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I still don't know how to end this post so have a nice day! :)
