Movin’ On Over

Well, after giving Jekyll & GitHub pages a go, I think that hosting my coding blog on my existing WP site makes more sense. It is kind of magical how simple Jekyll can be, and I appreciate the idea behind it, but honestly I was spending more time just trying to get my blog to work right, instead of focusing on the actual blogging. It’s way too easy to go down those rabbit holes…

I’ll be slowly copying over old posts to this work-in-progress blog. I’m not sure what I want to do with my GitHub page, perhaps turn it into a simple about me / landing page or something.

In November I had the excitement of quitting my job, starting my bootcamp and traveling to Japan. In December I went to New Orleans and celebrated the holidays. During January I freelanced, effectively buying myself more time to study and job hunt. I also spent a little of that money sprucing up my apartment.

February. Oh dear February. The great grey ghost of February. After working full time the month before, I felt “behind” in my bootcamp, whatever the hell that means for a mostly self-paced program. Behind the other people in my cohort, behind my targeted end date, and worst of all, behind in my knowledge.
