Timestamping files in Hugo

Time, one of our most precious resources and what I believe to be a computers worst enemy.

When I worked at American Express, one of the biggest challenges of a real time payment system is keeping track of all the different time zones and daylight savings times.

I proposed scrapping all of that and moving everything to UTC with Unix Nanoseconds, the best way for computers to keep track of time. I was met with silence in the room and the meeting moved on but I stand by what I said!

Bringing jorgesepulveda.dev to life

Now that I have a blog going, it’s time to use my custom domain and register it.

First things first

We need two things here, I need to have a website hosted somewhere and that’s what Github Pages is doing right now. Secondly, we need to own a domain.

I’ve owned jorgesepulveda.dev since the .dev domains became available. I originally bought it on Google Sites but it got transferred to Squarespace without my consent. Reminds me of when my student loans change providers(servicers?). I don’t know, they take the payment and the feds are cool with it.

Gotta love flash drive formatting

Earlier at site this week, we found that it is faster to put files in a USB stick and DRIVE over to the computer where we need the files.

The network connection is reliable but transferring files over the network can take time, especially if we are transferring it from Virtual Machines to the local PCs.

I have a kit of 7 flash drives and some USB C adapters for any newer devices. I have over 512GB’s of pure firepower stored in an bag with USB 3.2,3.1, and 2.0 drives.

Third time’s the charm

I have begun my journey of making a blog for the third time. My previous attempts we’re unsuccessful.

The first attempt

My very first attempt was a simple site done with HTML and CSS. This must’ve been during high school for a class assignment and quickly forgot about it.

When I was moving from Texas to Phoenix, I found my old stash of hard drives and thought, “Hey, I should plug these in and cruise down memory lane!” It was perfect as I had found a great opportunity to procastinate packing.
