Blog

Updates

Notes

My last update on this blog was almost 8 years ago, and when I wanted to write something a few months ago, I couldn't get the site to build. It wasn't that hard to get it working again, but it felt like a sign that I should do some updates.

HTTPS Static Site Hosting in S3

In my last post I mentioned that I wanted to move my site to HTTPS. I initially intended to write about my experience doing so, but instead, I feel like a more general “HOW TO” style would be more useful for people.

  • S3
  • AWS
  • Static Site
  • HTTPS
  • CloudFormation
  • Free SSL Certificate
  • Free TLS Certificate

Setting Goals

It's 2017 and while I'm taking a few weeks off from work, I've decided to write down my current goals. Will putting them on the internet help to motivate me?

The Path to Jekyll

When I decided to start a blog, I started looking for a blogging framework. Instead of choosing something like Wordpress or Blogger, I wanted to try something else.

  • Jekyll
  • blog
  • static site
  • Hexo
  • Middleman

Hello, Internet!

Every blog needs a first post. This is mine. Hello, Internet!
