Reboot

Hi there, it has been a long time since I haven’t written on my blog. And I was thinking a lot about that, every month I used to think: “oh shit.. another month passed and I didn’t write anything”.

During my summer holidays I decided to give a new look to my blog, I decided to switch to Hugo and move from GitHub Pages to Cloudflare (but considering the latest events I don’t know if it’s been a good choice…).

So I started to work a lot on it, first because I needed to learn how Hugo works and because in my mind I wanted to enhance it. I started to add my experience page, a page with the few talks I did. I studied how to customize some pages with Hugo partials, I created a dynamic SVG and I optimized for SEO and a lot of other stuff. Basically I fell into a huge rabbit hole. gif

I started to translate my Italian articles to English, because I think it’s ugly to have mixed languages on my blog. Not having constant access to my laptop made it really hard and 2 weeks were few (in the meanwhile, like two/three months ago I bought a new laptop… because I’m missing x86_64 arch but primarily I wanted to come back to Linux, maybe I can write about that in a future post). Hence I got overwhelmed.

The holidays ended and I wasn’t really convinced about the new blog design, and I thought.. I can work on it, in the evening or during the weekends… so if I’m writing this post… you should already understand… I didn’t touch it. I started to become a little bit frustrated about it… so I understood I needed to declutter. Consequently I fell into the same rabbit hole… but this time with a very defined goal in my mind: to have the blog fully in English and as minimalistic as possible (fortunately I did some translation during the summer).

So now after this huge intro and this sort of personal retrospective I want to welcome you to my new blog, and I hope you like it. I promise you, I will try to be more productive… and stop procrastinating.

See you soon. Bye.
