It seems like everytime I update this blog, it is to announce that I have moved it to another hosting provider. Well… I’d like to announce that I have moved it to another provider! Seriously, all jokes aside, I have been facinated with Jamstack frameworks, static hosting, and these new git based hosting platforms. Cloudflare Pages is a FREE, robust, and globally available static hosting product that is too good to be true.

I’ve been playing with server backends lately (AWS, Firebase, Apple CloudKit and Digital Ocean). After some reflection and many hours of training, reading, and experimenting, I think I have decided to focus on content and stop stuffing my brain with server administration knowledge. I think back over the years at all the devops/foundation code I’ve written to handle deploys, CI, etc. Then I see how quickly it gets replaced when something new comes out.

Blogging just because much easier, I’m testing DigitalOcean’s App Platform. This thing is fantastic, my new workflow is going to allow me to update much much quicker!  

The iPad Pro, is finally a computer.   TL;DR - Mouse support lets you remote desktop into your laptop from your iPad, allowing you to leave your laptop when on the go, but the iPad will eventually get there.   Mouse and keyboard were the missing pieces. The iPad doesn’t do everything your Windows PC or Mac can do. But think about this as a new computer. For example, the first time you started using a Mac after being a PC user, you definitely saw some similarities, but also witnessed drastically different workflows and processes.

  After 23 years, it is finally here. This morning I finally acuired Cowherd.com. In 1997 I made the mistake of not purchasing the domain when I had the chance. I am finally at peace.   What’s to come?   I have been thinking about this a lot. This is the best time in history for computer programmers to build out their ideas. The barriers to entry have never been lower.
