Miracles Happen

UPDATE: Not so fast…

We did have the room, but we were cautioned that the hvac is not working, so in a fit of sanity, we will go to Tim’s again.

Now that I actually posted that the meeting would be at the local donut shop, I get an email yesterday informing me that we have the room for tomorrow night. The universe is out to prove me wrong :)

Still Waiting

Once again, we will not have our normal meeting place. Dymon is still putting the final touches on the boardrooms and we will probably be in a donut shop for the March meeting. On the plus side, I won’t run out of things to drink, but I am getting a little tired of the lack of ability to have a proper talk. I don’t mind the fact that they are not finished yet, but rather the “soon” I keep hearing. I’d prefer they had stated it won’t be ready for 6 months or something like that so I could have made proper plans for a meeting rather than this monthly waiting game.

Back to normal

It seems that my toolchain has survived a couple of weeks without getting broken, so I’m about as close to good as it will get at this time. Things still look good even though there is at least one broken link in the posts. I thought I had gone through them all, but it is difficult to police your own work at times.

No new commentary that I have noticed, so I can guess we get as much readership as always. I have no idea if anyone noticed the dearth of posts or that we are back online again. The bulk of the work is done and I’m leaving the search item as a future fix. I don’t like the couple of indexers I have tried, so I think I’ll leave it for now. It isn’t like there is that much to search.

Still working on it.

Still working on getting this thing off the ground again. I just need to get the right side completed and the search capability integrated. Once that is completed, I can publish and worry about the other integration later. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it is not an oncoming train.

Items left to go

This is a kind of living list right now. Expect mods as I go on. A number of items will not work properly until I get it pushed live, so some things can’t be tested that easily.

Progress of a sort

After too much time playing with hugo_jupyter, I found a better tool. It is called nb_hugo_exporter and it does what I need. I might even do some adjustments for my own customization.

As it is, it does a good job, but if I tweak it a bit, I can get it to use the front matter tags I have entered into the notebook instead of updating/creating new ones.

My vagrant setup does seem to work as required and the installation of a slightly older python to handle the hugo_jupyter module was managed with Anaconda - well the Miniconda varient anyway.
