As I’m writing this in mid-October of 2024 these are the books I recall reading in 2023:
Completed Books
- Changes by Jim Butcher (took a while longer to get this finished)
- Ghost Story by Jim Butcher (I have a tough time reading this book. It is IMO quite different from the rest of the series)
- The Aeronaut’s Windlass by Jim Butcher
- The Olympian Affair by Jim Butcher
- The Naken Sun by Isaac Asimov (I finally finished this book. Not sure I’ll continue the series, but maybe after the next season of Foundation airs I’ll be more inclined)
Being relatively new to using Hugo one of the neat things about setting up my site was using the git submodule command to add the theme for the site. While I’m not new to using git, this is my first experience with using submodules.
Until recently I had been using a 10+ year old Dell laptop as a “server” running Ubuntu with several Docker containers for various apps. I woke up one morning to a powered off laptop. Nothing I did would revive my “server”. So to get back up and running, I removed the internal SSD from said dead laptop and copied the needed files over to another laptop that already had Ubuntu loaded on it in a dual boot setup with Windows. A bit of cp here and there and my “server” was back up and running without too much fuss.
It is not uncommon for me to read the same books multiple times and this year was no different. In truth I failed to finish reading a few book series that I meant to read this year (the honorable mentions). Either way, I still did plenty of reading this year with mostly re-reads, but I did get a couple of new books in. So here we go, the list as I remember it.
A new website must mean a new era. Setting up my Hugo based static website. Need some basic content to get started, so here is my first post.
