Thoughts

I got a JSON feed setup for my site. When I began, I did not think it would be this simple. I love this format, I am comfortable playing around with it.

And here’s another reason why I serve this as a static site. I can quickly take such small custom projects & roll them.

Another day, another playground. It’s a feed fixing day — I need to decide how I want to serve my feed. In addition, prominently display the links to feeds on the site.

And get a jsonfeed setup too. I prefer the json format to xml any day. Why shouldn’t I serve my feed as one?

I’m surprised to see the number of blogs run by blot here. I can see the attraction of a simple file-system based posting mechanism.

I guess people just do not want to handle any overheads, be it with hosting or posting. Plain files always win.

As planned, I got a /now page setup for my site. I do not want to load it with too much of text.

This is what I intend. A small write-up on what’s on my mind. Followed by a list of things that are keeping me busy.

And finally, to keep it updated. Hopefully weekly.

There are days when her doll becomes her life. Whatever she does, it stays by her side. For her, it becomes she”. For us, she becomes her.

Today’s one such day.

I sincerely hope the Reply All option is higher on @manton’s list of to-dos — I need it throughout the day, multiple times 🤞🏽

I am surprised I never tried VS code earlier. I think there’s something about dev tools that we do not want to change them often - I‘ve been a Sublime Text/BBEdit user.

Makes me think what other Source Code Editors does the community prefer?

I’m really impressed with Visual Studio Code. It works great on Mac (and of course is cross platform), has perfectly useful editor, debugger. Syntax highlighting/code completion‘s without any issues.

Integrated terminal’s amazing. Plus it’s fast, smooth. And free & open.

I plan to get a Now” page setup for my site. I debated a lot if I would be able to keep it updated regularly. I don’t think I can if I keep it as a page for users.

Rather I want to use it to keep track of my current focus — it might be reading list, trainings or project.
