Was busy with rewriting this website, living life and taking care of another website project that will probably slowly be merged into this blog.
But in the meantime I spent some time on figuring out zola and using that instead of hugo.
I’ve gotten it recommended and not really getting hugo I thought there is not too much that can go wrong with trying to figure it out, so I did. In the following are some thoughts I had along the way, not just with hugo but also hosting the site.
The last few weeks I’ve had to do a lot of learning for mathematics, that means
just solving and trying to understand tasks around six hours day (afterwards
the brain stops working). But that has brought me to an issue of the notes I’ve
taken by hand. So time has come to rethink another part of my workflow.
Having typed all my life on qwerty or qwertz I got used to it. I got into
practising typing to gain speed and accuracy, towards the end I averaged around
90 words per minute (wpm) and had a accuracy of >95%.
But at some point I got fed up with it, why did I still use the normal layout?
That has no reason for existing any more and that after I have switched to
a tiling-window-manager, vim and countless other things, just to get the last
seconds off the clock and have the computer do whatever I want it to do as
fast as possible.
During the last days and weeks I’ve spend some of my time soldering,
configuring and figuring about a dactyl keyboard. Now it is done and I can now
type much more ergonimic and better than I could before, in the following I
will talk about the process and maybe you can get something out of it :).
The goal of the workflow is to be ever evolving to be more efficient and
useful. The main application of it is to write LaTeX documents, manage references,
figures, etc. So that one does not need to think about it anymore but
has a good experience using it and the optimal output.
