Bas-Man's Musings

The Challenge

I wanted to be able to publish a new post that has already been written at a future date, without needing to manually publish the article.

I was researching ways of moving to Hugo for my site generator. I looked at a few options and as part of this I came a cross a workflow in github that allows me to store my site in a private repo and then publish the site to a public repo without too much fuss.

So I finally thought it was time to start doing some continuous integration testing as well as testing with multiple versions of Python.

The Challenge

How to add a cookie warning notice to a Hugo powered website. But also avoid using a third party service.

The Solution

Build your own. Well, find someone who built one and shared it on youtube and github.

The Challenge

How to automate the backing up of my Plex Media Server

Solution

A Bash Script

I wanted to automate this process. If I didn’t, it probably wouldn’t get done.

The Challenge

How to give Drobo time to mount before processes that need access to it begin and hence block it’s mounting by having the mount point in use.

Well. Finally got around to putting this site together. Actually this is attempt number two.

I will try to post some of my small personal projects and thoughts here. I will also probably create a cheat sheet for myself.

Anyway, I shall see how it goes.
