And a few years after that at 10 years old, I got an iPod Touch 4th Gen that opened what felt like other planets for me to discover. Then at Christmas of 2014, I got an iPhone 5c, my first cellular device, back when Apple gave them away for free. I was officially hooked into what we know it as today: the Apple Ecosystem. I was stuck in this honeymoon phase for almost 5 years, until last year when I became more aware of odd practices in the tech industry, the incredible world of open-source software, and the ways the devices I was using every day were using me. diff --git a/content/blog/new-website.md b/content/blog/new-website.md deleted file mode 100644 index 13fb801..0000000 --- a/content/blog/new-website.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,34 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: "Welcome to the new website!!" -date: 2022-12-02T11:10:17-07:00 -draft: true ---- -**UPDATE (May 29, 2022) :** Resurrection is now updated and my main projects are now highlighted on the website. Thank you for your patience! - -Hello, and welcome to the new website! Now I have the ability to post blogs and easily add and edit information about projects I currently work on. So far everything has been going fairly smoothly, but a couple of unexpected road-blocks have surely arisen. In the meantime, I wanted to give you more information about why I chose to switch the domain for my web server, and what were the drawbacks of doing so. - -### Why Did I Change Domains? - -It's a combination of four different reasons, half of which are not well justified by simply buying a new domain: - -1. This new domain is cheaper to maintain for longer periods of time. -1. I would like to escape using Google services as much as possible, of which the old domain was registered with. -1. I wanted an excuse to start this new website made with the Django framework, and the downtime gave me an excuse to do so. -1. I have no idea how to switch around `certbot` certificates between web servers. - -### What were the Drawbacks of Changing Domains? - -There weren't very many! The minor one is that I just have to go back to any of my accounts online that mention the old domain and add the new one instead. - -The major drawback is that all versions of my projects that use my web server to check for updates now return errors. These projects include: - -* Resurrection (Java throws errors, but doesn't affect the functionality of the program afterwards.) -* Wiimmfi Watcher (Displays a Toast saying there was an issue, but this project is no longer maintained anyway.) - -Resurrection 1.3.2 will release in the next two days to point to the correct domain to check for updates. - -### What Will Happen with this New Website? - -Not much really. - -I have always seen my website as a way to quickly showcase the projects I've worked on and I wanted to not only make it easier to add and update my projects on my website, but also be able to post blogs on topics that I believe are relevant and show how much I have grown. So hopefully you will be here for the ride while I work on getting the website fully functional! |
