I forget who originally sent me this poem, but I go back to it periodically, and it's hitting particularly hard this week.

While it's perhaps inaccurate to call the current Covid-19 crisis "unprecedented" (given that the Spanish Flu outbreak in 1918 led to many of the same measures), I think it's reasonable to say that it's unprecedented in my lifetime - and I'm not exactly young.
Accordingly, in these heady times, I don't think it's uncommon to discover a thing or two about yourself. Hell, introspection is almost inevitable, given the circumstances.
In that vein, this is my "Things I Learned In Lockdown" post. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Jan 2, 2020, 6:40 PM -05:00Build a Dynamic Website… or Not?
After digressing a bit about building a Micropub endpoint for my website, I’ve been thinking about the next steps: if I should keep Hugo or move to some other system.I opened a topic on Hugo’s discourse to see to which point it would be reliable to use the watch mode of Hugo in production and it seems, as I was expecting, that it wasn’t made for that and there is no way of making incremental builds as of right now. And I don’t blame Hugo developers — I understand that’s quite a big issue and ... -

Jan 29, 2020, 6:50 PM -05:00Owning My Reading Log
As Tom once said, it is now time to own my own reading log. Why? Despite all the reasons mentioned on Tom’s post, I also got bored of Goodreads and I ended up not using it as much as I should have.With university, work and… life… I stop reading as much as I did before. But it’s now time to get back to some reading. Even if it’s not that much, I need to read something. I must do it.At my reads, you can visualize my reading logs: basically, it’s just a big list of ‘I want to read X’, ‘I finishe... -

Nowadays, node.js is one of the technologies which is always talked about when the subject is related with real-time applications or even CLI (Command-line interface) apps.Node.js is a cross-platform platform (which is very redundant) built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime. They say that with Node.js we can create network applications, but we can do a lot more.Bow, for example, is a very useful tool built in the top of node.js. We can take advantage of the fact of node.js be cross-platform to c... -
