If we lived close to nature in an agricultural society, the seasons as metaphor and fact would continually frame our lives. But the master metaphor for our era does not come from agriculture—it comes from manufacturing. We do not believe that we “grow” our lives—we believe that we “make” them. Just listen to how we use the word in everyday speech: we make time, make friends, make meaning, make money, make a living, make love. — Parker Palmer, “Let Your Life Speak” (97)You know what else we ma... -
Nov 17, 2020, 4:08 PM -05:00 I use Piwigo. My gallery: https://photos.desmondrivet.com/ I'm interested in the idea of statically generated galleries but it's unclear to me how this would work if you have GBs of photos. Where would you store the images?

Nov 2, 2020, 3:00 AM -05:00How to Effectively Backup Your Emails
For quite some time, I have been setting up systems to backup my data of my computer, as well as fetching data from services, such as Trakt, Last.fm or GoodReads. There’s always one kind of service that has been on the back of my mind for a while to backup, but I’ve never got the time, nor the will to do so: email!Email is fundamental nowadays and it is the basis of Internet communication. Almost all online services require an email, and even though we use it virtually every day for the most ... -

Oct 24, 2020, 10:44 PM -04:00 Things I Learned In Lockdown
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... -

Mar 31, 2015, 2:55 PM -04:00How To Create a Node.js Command-Line Application
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... -
