Installing Hugo

Tuesday, May 18, 2021

I’ve written about how Hugo saved my website and how to deal with page resources . (Although, I now use ![]() syntax for images.) But I haven’t really done any deep dives into Hugo. I’m going to change that now. This blog post is all about installing Hugo. The reason I’m writing this post is because installing it isn’t as easy as it should be. Linux Install I’m starting with Linux because it is the easiest.…

Install PWA on Edge

Monday, May 10, 2021

PWA or Progressive Web Apps are the future, like it or not. Many companies are learning that it is too costly to maintain a group of engineers for Web, Android, iOS, and Windows. So what to do? There are other alternatives such as Xamarin, but that isn’t available for web yet. (See .NET 6 and Blazor apps for that.) For now the best way forward for companies is to add a PWA and see what platforms need special attention.…

Arch Linux Printer Install

Friday, January 8, 2021

Introduction I’m glutton for punishment. A couple months ago I took my stable and user friendly Ubuntu Linux install and replaced it with Arch Linux. Why? Please see the first sentence. Since then it’s been running really well. There’s a manual step to update things like Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Visual Studio Code because they come from the Arch User Repository (AUR). Today when I was updating Microsoft Edge I lost all my open tabs.…

Why You Should Use Windows 10 Administration in 2021

Sunday, December 20, 2020

Introduction I have been having a lot of fun over on my YouTube channel building out videos for various topics including new features in the Windows Insider builds. However, this isn’t my first time doing videos. I have done a couple of courses for Packt Publishing. One of them is Windows 10 Administration . The course has 6 main sections that take you on a whirlwind journey through Windows 10 Administration.…

Kubernetes Cluster on Raspberry Pi 3

Friday, October 9, 2020

There are a lot of guides on the internet describing how to build a Kubernetes Cluster on a Raspberry Pi. I’ve followed quite a few of them to build my cluster. A lot of those guides are out of date now since I want to continue using my Raspberry Pi 3 hardware. Last weekend I embarked on a journey to rebuild my cluster. I’m going to try and report the journey to you now.…

Windows Printer Install

Friday, June 5, 2020

A few months ago I was marveling at how easy it was to install my aging HP printer on Linux. Really it even got easier with Ubuntu 20.04. Astonished. So by comparison, here are the steps required to install that same printer on Windows 10. Go to Settings and type Printers & Scanners Click the button that reads “Add a printer or scanner” Wait for it to scan for a printer.…

Build 2020 Part 2

Sunday, May 24, 2020

Oh My! I totally forgot my favorite parts of Build in my last blog post . Read on to learn more. WSL2 WSL2 is part of Windows 10 v2004 that came out this month. With it comes a full fledged Linux kernel. It’s amazing and fast. In the Linux file system you’ll see speed improvements of 60%. But that’s not all. At Build they announced that GPU pass through, DirectX 12 on WSL, and most importantly Linux GUI is coming this year to WSL!…

Build 2020

Sunday, May 24, 2020

The Microsoft Build conference was this week and although we are still sheltering in place from the COVID-19 virus I got to attend. The Build conference was 100% virtual this year and that didn’t detract from anything except the hallway conversations. There were session going on live for 48 hours straight from Tuesday morning at 8AM through to Thursday morning at 8AM. It was quite the experience. It was like drinking from the firehose, and the knowledge transferred did not disappoint.…

Intel NUC 10

Sunday, May 3, 2020

I have been using an old Gigabyte Brix computer for about 7 years as a secondary computer. Mostly I use it on my Twitch stream to keep track of the chat. It does the job, but if I tried to do too many things at once with it, it would bog down and run really slow. It maxed out at 16GB of RAM and I had a 256GB mSATA drive in it.…
