Not much today |
|
|
|
Managed to start a ranty blog-post |
|
about an ordeal with Lowe's. |
|
But as with all my blog-posts, I edit them with |
|
ed(1), vi(1), or vim(1) as raw HTML or Markdown, |
|
and let the Nikola[1] static site generator[1] |
|
do all the conversions, linking, RSS generation, |
|
etc, run a dev-server for local proofing and |
|
then rsync it up to my web-server. |
|
And it all gets committed to my blog's |
|
git repo for keeping it in sync across machines. |
|
|
|
As to be expected, it all works uneventfully |
|
on an old CLI-only environment. |
|
However, Python/Nikola can be a spot slow |
|
on this older hardware. |
|
I've considered the idea of moving to Hugo |
|
(which shouldn't be a particularly |
|
onorous migration) and the speed-difference |
|
might be worth it for these #OldComputerChallenge |
|
occasions. |
|
|
|
This OCC happens to fall during a somewhat busy |
|
season: the kids are out of school and I |
|
still need to get my retained hours in at |
|
$DAYJOB, so my play-on-old-hardware time |
|
is pretty limited. |
