Content creation versus management

In the context of managing content (and producing it, to boot), I have looked at various approaches. A couple of years ago, I was using OfficeLive, nicely provided for free by MS, which had some nice tools. I can explain, eventually. For now, let me just say that when I went over to another web…

Update, of sorts

Our last post was titled “Minimalism on the web” and was from last year. This post is motivated by some findings over the past few months. As mentioned earlier, we have been GitHUb’ing, regularly. And, while reading technical material, we have paid attention to pointers to GitHub. Why? Well, this is an operational technical option…

Home, at last

Home, at last? Kidding. Today, I bit the bullet and created a GitHub project for our work: PortalToTruth. The name? While I was building the index by image, I created an image for all of the posts that were in the index. For a comment, I mentioned the ‘portal to truth’ aspect of our minimal…

More modern stuff

It’s time to bite the bullet, so to speak. Our minimal approach has been great for the past few years as we tried to cover 400 years of history in an organized fashion. At the same time, we had to keep track of things like content management plus worrying about issues related to configuration and…

Friendly to the mobile crowd

Today, I saw that Google had a test for web masters to see if their site is mobile friendly (see Mobile-Friendly Test). So, I decided to give it a try. Here is the result (after a minor adjustment to the HTML). So, the bot sees the site as mobile friendly (at least, the first page;…

Alpha/beta site

Earlier, we talked about content management. Essentially, there are a couple (for now) sides of computing that are like a car user and its mechanic. The users go places with the car, show it off, and other things. Some users look under the hood. But, it’s the car guy/gal who looks under the hood.  Please note…

Shapes

As said, this blog is technically oriented. But, in the nested world of reality, one person’s technical is another’s abstraction (let’s discuss). Those whose services will be in demand in the future (in order for us to have sustainability and a lot more) ought to be able to be able to bridge many levels of…

Techie world, again

Our last two blog posts mentioned that we would be technical, for a while. For the past couple of years, we have been exploring New England’s influence on the country, especially the interior (Carving the land) after the Jefferson purchase. Prior to that, we touched upon the whole of the American experience as it has…

New blog

We’re now GitHub’ing along. It’s going quite well. GitHub is a popular system that offers software development support, both public and private. The former has been a hit with the Open Source folks. The latter has allowed companies to coordinate better in terms of tools and facilities. GitHub has added in capability for project management…

Windows 10

I just went through the transition to Windows 10 and wanted to share some thoughts on the matter. I am running it like Windows 7, using a laptop and mouse. Our website is Linux based, so I can still keep up the maintenance using this method. We were, earlier, under the MS realm and had to…
