Objectives of Blog
This is a record of the thoughs and visions I had when writing this blog post. This includes why I wrote it and what I aspire it to be as well as planned discussion topics. With this I strive to be clear, upfront and grounded.
I want this blog to be...
- informative Every post should be information rich.
- thorough I should thoroughly explore topics. I do not want this superficial stuff.
- extensively documented Everything that I am referecing should have a link to what I am referring to. In general each post will be link heavy.
- thoughtful The thoughts and descriptions I add should be high-quality. It should be clear from reading as well as my references that the thoughts are well-informed.
- honest and soulful Part of the reason I wrote the blog as to use as a resume for employers to actually see my work. But I am not trying to impress them. I want this blog to be unapologetic and frank.
- visually appealing but minimal Right now I have the minimal part down but am severly lacking in the "visually applealing" department because if my lack of experience with css. But I will get there. And I will be documenting exactly how I get there in this blog.
- authentic My site is not AI generated nor are the contents of my blog posts. It is written and planned be me, a human being. At most I might use AI to research possible answer for a problem and then confirm whether the answer is true or false before I use it because I have encountered several cases where answers generated by AI have been wrong.
I am writing this blog to…
- document problems Although there is a plethora of support in terms of stackoverflow questions blogs and articles about text and even the archwiki. Often I found problems difficult to explain.
- help others I want others not to have to struggle as I have had with the problems I have encountered. I have often had the experience where I have scowered the web for trying to figure out a difficult problem.
- help myself I have moments when I forget exactly what I did or how I did it and in those moments I would like an account of how I did something.
- document how to teach yourself I want to show the process of how I think about problems and how I go about devising solutions to them and learning about them. And how I go about figuring them out without a teacher or mentor or boss telling me what to do.
- be a resume I want this to serve a repository for my work. In my past I have been notoriously bad at saving my work and reusing it and really advertising myself.

- Emacs adventures
- Archlinux gotchas
- Cooking from nothing
