Alice was up at 3:30 which is a little early, but at least we got to have a nice long walk through a beautiful blanket of fresh snow.
I'm still waffling on what to do with this very text you're reading. It's part of the "Journal" entry content in Kirby, which I don't include in the RSS feed. I love this because it gives me a less public space to ramble about whatever. It's sort of a personal journal that people crazy enough can read if the wish to. The problem is that nearly everything I post could be a real note post (such as those below). Those get published to the feed and also have their own separate page, which I like. Anyway, I guess I'll just keep making it up as I go along.

#I spent hours yesterday dusting off the Hugo version of this blog and moving it back to the PaperMod theme and adding some of the posts from Kirby. It felt good to be in Emacs with normal YAML front matter and a fully static website. I want a fully static website, but after struggling with how I'd deal with breaking all the journal links and futzing with Hugo's opaque (to me) templating, I realized that I kind of like what I've built here in Kirby. The price is that it's not completely static and its content files are not "normal". On the other hand, I get a sweet control panel for managing everything, easy to edit templates, and a layout and behavior that I quite like. Seems reasonable, so I've stopped the Hugo migration for now.

I have a suggestion for people making YouTube videos: Leave out the phrase "...go ahead and...". So, instead of, "I'm going to go ahead and launch the app now." you could say, "I'm going to launch the app now." Thanks.
