It’s nearly 80 degrees outside and we’ve got rain on and off for the rest of the week. Spring in other words.

Also considering experimenting with utilizing Obsidian, templates, and it’s various plugins to run a self-hosted Hugo blog. My idea was to utilize micro.blog as my default blog platform moving forward but even though I like a lot about it, it just doesn’t feel right for a number of reasons, none of which are the platform’s fault.
- It feels weird to write anything long on the platform. Yes people do it, yes you can do it, but it doesn’t feel like the right place, especially when you look at the social feed.
- While Micro.blog backs everything up to github, it still doesn’t provide the simplicity of something like a regular static site where all my posts and materials are in individual files and I can easily move them around and use them as I see fit.
The templates in Obsidian and the ability to use git to publish the blog generally solves my major issues with Hugo in the past, namely that it never felt simple to write and publish something.
Anyway, it’ll probably get filed away in my to-do list for the summer.
