I’m going to use this as a bit of a stream-of-consciousness post that will wrap around and collect some of my more useful meanderings into semi-coherent plans.
In short: I’m trying to practice logging/journalling. It’s been a while.
The biggest directions I want to go in are: reading, writing, and video production.
It’s not quite the 3 Rs, but it’s where my head is going these days and I want to follow my brain. Feel free to follow along.
Welcome to the new and improved LenPayne.ca. Because this is theoretically easier to maintain and update, I will hopefully be updating the site more often. Why is it easier to maintain? Most of that has to do with GitHub Pages and Jekyll. While I still love the MEAN stack, a static site generator is much easier to use.
My previous site was based on the MEAN stack (Mongo, Express, Angular, and Node). It was a great learning experience and gave me an opportunity to practice things that have helped immensely in my professional career both in the classroom and outside of it.
However, it was still a database-backed dynamic site that wasn’t very dynamic.
