Allegiant – A free Hugo theme

A couple weeks ago, I wrote a post about a new WordPress Theme that I had developed, called “MathesonDigital”. Well, I got sick of it quickly. Not because of the design, but because I was using WordPress, and I wanted to be trendy and cool and use a static site generator. So for the few … Continue reading Allegiant – A free Hugo theme →

Configure Custom Domain Name for GitHub Pages using NameCheap

So you’ve got a fancy new blog, hosted on GitHub Pages, and you’re ready to show it off to the world? You can access it via username.github.io, but that’s still not good enough. Well, lucky for you, it’s pretty easy. Note: If you don’t already have a good web host, I highly recommend BlueHost. I’ve … Continue reading Configure Custom Domain Name for GitHub Pages using NameCheap →

VirtualBox Only Shows 32-Bit OS Options

I ran into an interesting (read: frustrating) problem this week at work. I was wanting to install a Linux VM so that I could do some testing on a few applications, as well as use it as an excuse to improve on my pathetic Vim skills (you can find my very basic .vimrc on my … Continue reading VirtualBox Only Shows 32-Bit OS Options →

Full Screen Putty

I’m a Windows SysAdmin. But just because I deal with Windows machines for most of the day doesn’t mean that I don’t interact with Linux at all. I often find myself using Putty to open an SSH connection to a Linux server and do all sorts of administrative tasks in there as well. Many times … Continue reading Full Screen Putty →

MathesonDigital WordPress Theme

So I made a WordPress Theme. Why? Because I’m sick of everything else on the internet. And that’s not to say that there aren’t some great themes out there. There are some truly incredible themes. And they do everything. The problem is, however, that I don’t need everything. All I need is a simple page … Continue reading MathesonDigital WordPress Theme →

Moral Sensitivity

This has absolutely nothing to do with technology, but it’s my blog, so I can do what I want. This past Memorial Day weekend, I had the most incredible chance to visit Yellowstone National Park. I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve lived less than two hours away from one of the largest National Parks in … Continue reading Moral Sensitivity →

Windows 10: First Impressions

Windows 10 launched yesterday, and so being my naturally-curious self on all the latest and greatest in the tech world, I gave it a go. I got an ISO and started it up in VM Fusion on my Mac. This won’t be an in-depth review on all the latest features and all that jazz. There … Continue reading Windows 10: First Impressions →

Hindsight

David Walsh, a popular Web Development blogger I follow, wrote a post a few months ago about the “Imposter Syndrome,” a common feeling that many developers have going into a new job, or even in their current position; a feeling of inadequacy or fear that someone is going to discover them as a “fake,” simply pretending to … Continue reading Hindsight →

Command Line Essentials

It wasn’t too long ago that I was terrified of the terminal. It’s pretty daunting to be staring at a blank screen with a blinking cursor taunting you. Want to know something? It’s not as scary as you might think. It would take years to master the command line, so don’t expect to know everything … Continue reading Command Line Essentials →

I love to Grunt and Gulp

(Happy Valentine’s Day, ya’ll. Get off the computer and go buy something nice for your woman.) Sometimes I like to pretend that I know stuff, when I really don’t. Gulp is one of those things. 🙂 I need to get better at finding solutions to a lot of the repetitive tasks that I do on … Continue reading I love to Grunt and Gulp →
