Here we are back at a favored spot for some coffee and some thinking. I don’t know which came first. This place always gives me respite from whatever came before. I’ve been thinking on the blog lately. Like what would I want to add that would be fun or challenging. I’ve had both things making the thing become my...

I spent the afternoon puppy sitting our two agents of chaos. They love getting love and being held. Almost as much as attacking each other with extreme gusto. Most of each day the one will ask in some doggie lingo to be held. He enjoys the closeness. The touching. Maybe the warmth and intimacy of the human touch....

This is me coming back and hiding out in our bedroom as more Khmer family visits. These particular family units are not my favorite ones. I won’t do things that may involve them because of some things done to other people. It was particularly nasty twice and involved drinking. People that can’t control their baser...

Last night I had puppy duty. My wife complains I don’t sleep much but when I see the puppies running to me, needing attention, wanting some love; life seems to circle back on itself. I remember another dog I had. Way back. This particular red monster was a Golden Retriever. A large and red child. Never the smartest...

This is the start of the Pchum Ben holiday here in Cambodia. Its about three days of national holiday. Most businesses do not close these days but some people take time off to be with family. I don’t really do the Cambodian holidays just like we do not do the American ones. For me, nothing really changes. The things...

Finding little 11ty plugins I wish to add. This one embeds most everything. It’s installing it using npm. Adding some stanzas to the config file and not screwing it all up and then testing it. Finally I make it all work upstream with vercel by pushing changes to GitHub. Vercel builds my site and it’s like magic....

One of my favorite places must be here. This place always seems like a home to me. A nice family owns it and I’ve been coming here for some time. It’s good to sit. To think. To write. Never feel rushed although today I did not get the table I always want. It never matters. This is it. My morning defined. My life has...

Today has been this learning day I think with 11ty. It is fun to learn how a minute difference in the core configuration file can mean a thing like RSS just won’t work right. I built all this from a howto but then I found issues with some of how it works. At least for me. The biggest thing was how RSS was not...

Welcome to my kinda newe and almost improved blog. I built this from a very nice howto I found on the 11ty site. I added in some additional things I wanted not included in the documentation. Fixed a few things I found along the way. I really wanted to build a thing i could kinda call mine. The whole idea with it is...
