Migration

S/o my content delivery network (CDN) Netlify for making it a breeze to migrate from from Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus to 20.04 Focal Fossa.

Abandoned Journal: Return to Penzu

I received an account reactivation notice from Penzu.com, a private journal service. Having forgotten this ever existed, I unlocked the journal and found 3 posts: a blank one dated Dec 15, 2013 when I presumably started the journal, and the two included below, un-edited. These were written in Berkeley, while I was engrossed in my video production business, ThenFound. The month prior I participated in my first and only WrestleMania weekend, in my home town, with Cait at my side the whole time.

The Last of Us Part II

Previously on The Last of Us It’s been seven years since The Last of Us was released on the PS3 in June 2013. I picked it up during release month, was hooked by the title card, then Cait and I passed and played through the story in a week. Never had I experienced a video game’s design and storytelling so expertly intwined. The characters were multi-dimensional and believable more often then not.

jeffrin.com Stack

Previously on jeffrin.com It started with Leo Laporte recommending Hugo on one of the various TWiT shows. Hugo is an open-source static site generator written in Go, touted for its speed and efficiency. I’d been using carrd.co as a low-cost, low-maintenance landing page for jeffrin.com for about a year. While it did a fine job and looked decent, it wasn’t gratifying to get it up and running. I had no desire to tinker with it beyond the first draft.
