Why blog? Why now?

Why indeed...

The more you know the more you forget. For this reason I am constantly, incessantly taking notes while I work, research or just think.

The more I've learned and talked to people about both technical, and other subjecs I have often checked my notes to be sure that what I'm saying is at least somewhat correct. And then, a couple months ago, it hit me. More people are probably just as confused as I am when researching things like Puppet configuration management, configuring 15 year old HPE network switches, or debugging NFSv4.

For this reason I started thinking that I should begin to "learn in public" as some significantly more cooler internet people are calling it.

What to expect?

You should frankly expect... well... basically nothing at all. I'm not exactly aiming for fame here, just getting my thoughts out there. To hopefully help others find information that I found annoyig to find or understand.

Depending on what I'm curretly working on I might be publishing one teeny tiny code snippet that was exceptionally annoying to write, or, it might be a log tutorial-style write-up from notes I took while building or configuring something....

Why English?

Because that sweet, sweet SEO.

I'm Swedish. Lysator is a Swedish association and LiU is a Swedish university. But that doesn't matter if nobody will ever read what I write.

About the spelling mistakes...

I have mild dyslexia, I mostly write my notes without spell-checker -> there are gonna be lots and lots of spelling mistakes and wierd grammar. If you find it annoying or unreadable you can probably run my lousy writing through a GPT model or something and get a decent gist of what I'm ranbling about...

If you want to write to me just e-mail my username "littlefox" followed by @lysator.liu.se and you'll probably hear back from me... If I have the energy to answer that is.

Ok bye!
