Raspberrypi

Wow… Cascading Style Sheets are complex.

I never properly learned or understood how CSS works in larger quantities than just a few lines. Sure I understand the piece parts, but put them together in a huge file, along with other files, throw some HTML in there and wow, I’m lost.

That being said, I think I’ve fiddled enough with the style sheets of the template that I’m using to be happy. Gone are the days where you only looked at a site on a PC in a few browsers and checked it at different resolutions. Now it has to work on mobile platforms too. I don’t even own an Android device, so I have no idea how it looks there. Hopefully if they render like Chrome does on the PC, it should be OK.

Linux.

I missed it, a lot. The challenge of trying so hard to get something to work and the feeling of accomplishment when you finally figure it out. I love it.

Permissions, groups, users, compilation, configs, packages… All these things add up to something beautifully complex and ever evolving. It’s really amazing how far it has truly come.

This webserver is running on a RaspberryPi, which is totally mind-blowing to me. A tiny little ARM processor sipping away at power from the USB to the tune of around 5W. Wow. What a great time to be a geek! All the cool toys we have!
