Last Tuesday, on Feb 27th it was the twentieth anniversary of this blog. I’m far from an active blogger but I like to think that this still exist 20 years later.
I’ve have started blogging (Portuguese) in a moment of change in my life, I was moving to Australia (Portuguese) to study and wanted to share that experience to my friends and family. Little I knew that I would spend 10 years in Australia, get married, meet new friends and later moved to San Francisco.
Today I have finally fixed my RSS feed. When I set it up due to my lack of knowledge on Hugo static site generator I have ended up leaving it as a excerpt instead of full text post.
Now it is fixed and if you subscribed to my RSS feed you will get the full posts in your reader of choice.
I never had a hobby. If someone’s ask me if I have a hope right now I might say I do and it is creating little projects to learn new things on the web. My latest learning was Eleventy a static generator website built in Node / Javascript.
One thing that I loved about Eleventy is the global data files. They are a easy way to add any data to your pages.
I’m sure this has happen with me before. This week I was recommended a store near by that I didn’t know about. On the next day when I went to search for the store online to find out where it was I made a mistake and thought of a different popular name starting with the same syllable.
To my surprise the search result shown a place 181 miles away (Yes I am still using miles on my phone).
There is a lot of struggles when maintaining a newsletter platform, but I believe that similarly with hosting your own website outside a platform, one could host their own newsletter.
If you are looking to self-host your own newsletter solution, check out listmonk, it has a nice interface and it is relatively easy to install and use.
When it comes to delivery the emails to your subscribers a nice mail server is Maddy.
This is sort of a new years resolution. I don’t remember doing any post like that in this almost 20 years that I am blogging. Oh! That is right! 2024 I will celebrate 20 years of blogging. I will make sure I write something special on the day to celebrate.
But for now let’s put together a list of things I would like to get in 2024. I would start with this blog, back in June 2023 I did a 30 day challenge where I wrote a post a day.
