Back at It

Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.

After several months away, my little blog is still existing on the web. It seems pretty simple to pick up where I left off.

A little reminder on how to start a new post, after navigating to the blog folder in terminal:

hugo new post/post-name.md

I hope to have some more time/inclination to learn more about making this website. I’d like to set up a fun workspace to make it easier to learn and get creative first. Get a cliky keyboard and comfy office chair, etc. Working on the couch staring at a messy kitchen is stifling..

Then maybe follow some rabbit holes into making a few webapps or front ends for databases that could be used to supply data for dashboards for work. Not sure how easy that will be..

I don’t know yet how R or Python dashboards can be integrated into a website but that would be fun to do! Like a site you can upload your data to locally and run some QAQC charts, or calculate strike and dips from oriented core data (geology talk). Or a web front end that is hosted on a local server that accesses a SQL database. Goodbye Microsoft Access and all your restrictions! Automate all the tasks!

I don’t even know where to start, what framework to use to create a database front end?
