There was a time when I had to have ‘distraction free’ text editors to ge some writing done and I have found that all I really need is a terminal.

In fact it’s easier to write in vim than any other text editor to date. It does take some time to get used to to but it’s a pretty easy way to write and edit text.

The best part about writing in plain text is that you can pretty much start with any editor and then finish up with another if you choose.

Just a short post about using cloudflare pages a try for hosting this site vs my previous host which was firebase - another excellent choice.

To be honest, I don’t really see much of a difference between the two execpt for the fact that cloudflare optimizes the images so that’s a big help in reducing the page speed times.

Also, this is just fun to try different hosting plans and see what one suits me. I will give the cloudflare pages a bit of time before I fully commit but for now it’s easy to work with.

It’s the last season for our 3 year old grill. You see, we always just buy the cheapo grills because pricier options and boy is our 3 year old showing her age. It’s held together with some extra screws I found and a whole lot of hope.

This grill has to get us through just one more season

It was my birthday again last week and I was gifted an Amazon gift card and on a whim I bought this watch for about $15.00, so as can be exepected I did not have high hopes. But, I was pleasantly surpised and it alerts me of my notifications and calls as well as count steps.

A pretty good deal for $15.00
