For a couple years now this blog existed on a [now defunct] domain https://yimd.net and has been left to rot mainly due to my indifference in maintaining a pretty website (sorry!). But actually, the real reason was due to the technical hurdles necessary to make the personal site and blog that I want to build…  Continue reading

It’s been a while since I took a deep dive into a Linux distro since switching from Windows to a Mac several years ago. Nightmares of missing drivers and endless configuration drew me away from exploring any further. Luckily, OSX/macOS’s user-friendly and Unix-like environment was enough to quell the hacker dreams I had as a…  Continue reading

If you’ve been tuned in lately to what’s next on the web, there’s been a lot of talk (from Google especially) pushing progressive web apps, or PWAs,  as the next evolution of web apps.

I often catch myself reading, editing, re-reading, and re-writing passages of what I wrote to constantly measure the “flow” of the text, but ironically, the process…  Continue reading

As you may have seen with the constant changes, I have been (and will be) using this website as a conduit for learning/re-learning WordPress, PHP, and getting into the nitty-gritty details of web design–a process I am finding to be extremely satisfying. So far, I’ve made great progress adopting Ahmed’s Gulp-Wordpress theme workflow. I highly recommend using his repo as a starting…  Continue reading

For a while now, I’ve owned the domain www.nubs.org and haven’t done much with it except for the occasional total-site-makeover from time to time.
