Launching Into 100 Days of Blogging

Show Sidebar

It is time! My blog has waited for years, with many potential entries already written in my early study years having lacked a proper platform. Now that it is live, I challenge myself to publish one article a day for about 3 months.

I purposely did not use a platform like Wordpress or Medium, so I have full control over the site as well as the writing environment. So after some research I adapted novoid's lazyblorg and am now writing this blog in Emacs Org-Mode and publishing with a simple shell script, which pushes the files to our company's webserver running HestiaCP.

Many drafts have accumulated over time, so most days will feature an overhauled old article, with a few new ones in between with whatever is on my mind. I intend to also have short articles outlining a particular lesson from the day or something I figured out in tiresome work and want to ease for others. Articles like these on random blogs of others have helped me tremendously before as well.

Another point of note is that I have multiple audiences to this blog, and various modes of writing. So while my main working language by now is English, some articles will be in German, tagged appropriately, so I can share them with people around me.
