New Features: Copy Buttons, Comments, Tags, and More!

I’m happy to announce a batch of new features that enhance the functionality and user experience of this blog. These improvements make the content more interactive, organized, and user-friendly. Hopefully, you like the changes.

Running Github Pages locally

How to run Github Pages locally in my Microsoft Windows 10 Pro WSLv2 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS environment and using Visual Studio Code to modify the contents. I’m not a Ruby or Jekyll expert by any means but just wanted a quick guide on running my Github Pages website locally to review them before pushing to this website. Seemed like an easy enough thing but there were a couple of hiccups to sort out so thought I’d write them down for future me when I try this again.

This should also lets me test out new plugins, new versions and changes to templates without breaking the public website. I’m still sorting out how to do the abstracts and formatting of the archive pages correctly.

Along time between posts

So it’s been quite awhile since I posted anything to any blog. I did post a couple updates as I did projects in grad school. The Wordpress site I used for this earlier died and was hosted on a VMware ESXi server in my homelab. I didn’t have time to fix it while in school so no postings since mid-2016.
