Oh golly I just found the back up of my old website with loads and loads of old posts I thought Id lost. 💚
Setting up my own labs
I’m going to begin setting up my own “labs” area to play around with various web technologies.
For the longest time now I have been holding myself back quite a bit by only really learning technologies around current roles at the time and for my own personal site. This has mainly revolved around Laravel and to a lesser extent WordPress.
Whilst I will continue to love both of those projects, I do want to start pushing myself to learn things that are completely out of my comfort zone.
I will also begin writing more about my learning, discoveries and new things that excite me in web development — something I haven’t done for a long while.
If I start rebuilding my website in Laravel yet again, I really need to see it through and commit to it. If the last couple of weeks have taught me anything it’s that I love working with Laravel.
Let’s see how this goes.
Finally got my site to use the roots wordpress structure. Composer dependency management and deployment with laravel forge. 🤓
The creeping beast of perfection is wearing it’s ugly head into my blog.
Gosh, I haven’t written on my blog for ages!
Finally finished porting my site over to Laravel 5.1. I’d been avoiding it. Got there in the end. Now to start cleaning up my code.
Finally my tags have got their own pages.
Really excited about my redesigned website. A lot more focused it feels. Hoping to get it out by mid week next week.
Movin to @jekyllrb
Website thus far.
