The Dev in DevOps

  • Get started in our journey

    What do you mean “our” journey? I’ll get there. This site is almost pure hobby. It’s a place to discuss my 40 years of experience, with people who either already are in the community, or want to be in the community. Maybe I’ll connect with some fellow cold-war Cherry Point jar-heads. Notice I said, “This…

  • 2021-08-29 – Day 39 – Launch Ugly – 3 Days to Launch

    Status and Activity Learning WordPress and WP Themes If you’re looking at this blog prior to launch (i.e. my “Today”) it looks pretty ugly. I’m using the WordPress Twenty-Twenty-One theme, which is described as “clean.” It’s also the the theme being used in the course that I’m taking. The reason that’s important is because with…

  • 2021-08-27 – Day 37 – Launch Ugly – 5 Days to Launch

    Activity and Status This week has been a collection of highs and lows. I spent Wednesday and Thursday nights watching 3 episodes of the Blacklist (Season 1). The Blacklist is a fun little show set in a parallel universe that is just over the top, full of massive quantities of plot armor, and secret agent…

  • 2021-08-23 – Day 33 – Launch Ugly – 9 Days to Launch

    Activity and Status This evening I notice that my day number and days to launch have gotten badly out of synch. So I created a spreadsheet for date, days til and day of, and then update all of my BTS page titles to have the same format. Learn that I had lost 10 days in…

  • 2021-08-22 – Day 32 – Launch Ugly – 10 Days to Launch

    Thoughts I kind of want to hide my “Behind the Scenes” posts. Like make it a patreon perk. I would need to be a bit more diligent about making the behind the scenes posts happen on a regular basis. Activity and Status update Yesterday was about getting the blog launched. I was successful. Almost 2…

  • 2021-08-21 – Day 31 – RIBBON CUTTING COMPLETE – 11 Days till Launch

    4 solid hours on the blog, mostly ripping stuff out. I think the site is looking good. Still lots to do, but I’d be comfortable launching the way it is. There is no news letter yet, and that’s a big missing. I also don’t have any real DevOps related content, so, more stuff to do.…

    Journal Keep moving forward. Did some project planning. Put a few things on my not to do list. Right now I’m operating on three four different time horizons First – Number of days till “retirement” 6796. Second – Deadline to having calculus mastered – 1 December 2022 Third – 31 September, blog launch. Fourth –…

  • 2021-08-03 – Day 13 – Launch Ugly – 29 Days till Launch

    Journal Last couple of days were rough, I don’t know if I was depressed, or had a low grade something-something. Feeling much better today. Discovered that I had already purchased a Udemy blogging course that I really wanted to take. I’ve noticed that I’ve got about 10 unique visitors per day. Not sure if that’s…
