I'd like to blog with some links and pictures and maybe even the occasional formatting, so I've started playing with some of the Jamstack/static site generators. I started with two that both use Python and support Jinja templates, which has actually been an interesting approach.
I'm leaning slightly towards …
read moreI'm starting to get things set up a bit better, and actually spent some time watching new Anais videos. One was ten tips she wished she'd known before learning Kubernetes, which had some good pointers. The most relevant one for me is to "keep going", as I'd hit a bit …
read moreSo, I decided to whip up a quick project and as usual a simple scope has managed to get a bit complicated. I wanted to build a simple tool so my learners could be quizzed, but I had to build in bits so that multi-answer is doable. I started simple …
read moreAfter languishing in old version hell on some of my tools for too long, I'm moving some of my process pieces off of an older Ubuntu install onto a more recent version (16 -> 18). Motivation for this is partly because so many things are hard to do -- Python 2 is …
read moreFirst, the complications - things not working as I'd hope. For some reason, using a moderate Wordpress install on an EC2 instance seems to suck up all the memory and kill MySQL. Ugh! I was hoping to move back into WP as an authoring tool, but it seems like that won't …

read moreAh, Docker. I've studied and played with it a bit on the edges, while I've mainly focused on general containers and Kubernetes. But to really understand, I have to dig a bit deeper into the whole Docker side a bit more. On the surface, Docker containers are simple to understand …
read moreI have set a goal of getting a Docker container and or a Kubernetes cluster up and running soon, and as a part of this effort I'm hoping to pull in the personal CRM application Monica. I currently have this deployed on a single purpose built VM, but I'd like …
read moreAlmost the end of the month and progress is going slow. After having a bit of traction with the NFS stuff, I haven't revisited the Pi for a little while. I did fire up my Docker VM, and piddled a little there. I have to fire up the VM that …
read moreWow, time flies when you are busy. Teaching itself has been going pretty well, and we are in good shape with regards to where we are supposed to be on the lecture side. I've been doing recordings of the lectures, which up until now I've only watched pieces of, as …
