Updating DNS Records# This was a fairly straightforward process:
Log into GitHub > Go to your public repo > Settings > Pages: and enter your domain in the Custom Domain section Add your domain name www.wesgould.com Log into your DNS provider. Delete CNAME / A-RECORDs for www.wesgould.com and wesgould.com to avoid conflicts with the new records. ADD CNAME RECORD for www.wesgould.com. Add A-RECORD for wesgould.com. To create A records, point your apex domain to the IP addresses for GitHub Pages: - 185.
It’s been an…adventure.
Why Switch from Publii to Hugo?# I am switching from Publii to Hugo because I wanted to take advantage of the text notes I was already taking with Vimwiki for my various projects. The Publii interface was nice, but I’m already writing notes in a format that doesn’t require me to use their WYSIWYG editor. I know that seems lazy, but it’s an extra step that caused just enough friction that I wouldn’t update the blog.
Turkey Trot 2k19# Date: November 28, 2019
The family decided to go to a Turkey Trot before we ate Thanksgiving dinner. I bet my niece $1 that I would run it in under 40 minutes. I got < 33 minutes (unofficially—the times aren’t posted yet).
About 900 people signed up for this particular 5k!
The 2nd prize was a huge pie (and a $50 Dick’s gift card, but you can’t eat that so it’s less important).
