My name is Aaron. That’s how I’ll introduce myself informally. If the ocassion is especially formal, I might skip it. Or I’ll introduce myself as Aaron Angel. Note what I will never say: “Hi, my name is Angel, Aaron.” I’m not James Bond.

What even is a last name, anyway? Who decided we need to sort lists of people’s name by the least used, thus least significant, portion thereof? An idiot, that’s who. Sorting by last name is stupid for two reasons, not the least of which is if you call me by my last name, I’m apt to correct you.

Obviously, my plan to update weekly has gone south. Daylight saving is not working. Seriously, there is never enough time in the day. But hey, here's another update!

Here we are at the end of week six. Things happened. I really didn't have the motivation to write a whole lot. Also, I noticed that pagination of my blog somehow broke. It was working when I tested it locally, I swear! I'll have to look at it later. On the plus side, I am off tomorrow—yay, federal holidays!—so I'll have plenty of time to figure it out.

P.S., I figured it out. Apparently, when I tell magit to stage files, it decides not to stage files. So I committed changes myself at the command line. Take that, magit!

I was reading through some discussion on Hacker News about using RSS, and came across a project called Huginn. This looks like an awesome way to personally curate various sources from across the web. Meanwhile, I added links to RSS feeds to each page on the site. I didn't realize Hugo automatically generated RSS until today.

I'll probably be experimenting with Huginn and posting about it in the near future. It seems pretty slick out of the box. There are agents to check RSS feeds, web pages, and email (via IMAP); there's even an agent to process incoming webhooks, send email, and make calls.

And so we wrap up week four. And, for that matter, the month. This makes five posts thus far. I should probably add pagination to my blog. Wait one moment, please… Ah; that's better. You can't see it, yet, but it's there. I tweaked other things on the site just a tad. The background color is a tad warmer, which I find a tad easier on the eyes. I also added a horizontal rule for a bit of extra flare. At some point, I'll add some more content besides the blog, but I haven't decided what, yet.
