Fun in Setting Up a Blog

I created this five years ago and then haven’t written any posts. To be honest, I didn’t know what to write about, nor did I have the energy to do so. What I realized now though is that I quite enjoy the thrill of setting up the infrastructure to be the fun part. That probably reflects in my professional work as well, being a Python developer but also being heavily involved in infrastructure.

So perhaps this can be motivation that it’s ok to setup a blog and not post, or that you can just setup a silly single-purpose website just for the fun of it. You can get a cheap domain, setup GitHub or Cloudflare Pages, and have a lot of fun with that, and learn a bunch. For instance, I have my CV website running with Jekyll and this blog set up with Hugo. The build process is quite different between them (Jekyll requires a lot more messing with Ruby versions), but that makes it interesting.

So, will I be writing more? Who knows, time will tell. This is probably still a good idea to write down things I’ve learned so it doesn’t get lost. I’m also getting more into 3D printing, so if I’m waiting on a print maybe I can write up a post about what I’ve done.
