The Return to GitHub

It's back to San Francisco for me; I'm back on GitHub. It's not entirely fair to Florida, I mean, WordPress is clunky—I knew that, you know that, EVERYBODY knows that! I just forgot how bulky it just feels. I look at all the code for a page of just text and ask myself, "Is ALL of this really necessary?" It's a departure from a handful markup tags. Honestly, throwing in a few p tags here and there isn't all that illegible or difficult—how have we evolved so much to have all of THIS? It took me 5 minutes to find where a developer squirreled away the head tags! I get it, though, looking through my worn frames of the complex is simple and the simple is complex.

Along with versioning and backups, I kinda just enjoy writing in markdown. There's a simplicity to its transparency—beauty to it even! And when I no longer desire to run a site, I've got all my files as text docs.

The Beard Is Back! And I Smell Great, Too!

As of 8 AM this morning, I reignite my beard, the last shave & trim for 2021! As you'll recall, I thought I set aside my beard ambitions, but you know what? I'm going after it. The Beard must rule. The Yeard is coming.

And while I set aside deodorant with a cologne in its stead for the entire month, there was a day when I wore deodorant—but, that was more out of curiosity of cologne scented sticks. I'm not missing it. So, I'm returning to its removal as a thing.

Coffee is Out—for Now

I just had the WORST late night experience with Coffee. Coffee completely wrecked me...we just can't seem to make things work out. Another day, my love.

The Resolutions

As we're Upon February's Eve, I'm going to re-examine the things I set aside on my Resolution list and will consider if I abandoned them too hastily and how I can shore up weaknesses in the others.

Lastly, upon February's Eve, will I be returning to Facebook on the 25th?
