2024 ADHD and the Static Blog Generator

My ADHD is getting the better of me. I have a nasty habit of wasting time looking at solutions instead of just getting the job done. In this case, blogging software.

My current site as of now uses Nikola static web. My concern with all open-source projects is it supported and continually developed, and there is there a plan if the primary developer stops

I have been playing with Hugo since it is number 2 and not JavaScript and Pelican.

All in all, I am sticking with Nikola, a very it just works feel for a Python-based static blog generator.

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirin′i-us was governor of Syria. And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there,In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. 2 This was the first enrollment, when Quirin′i-us was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. 7 And she gave birth to her first-born[a] son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

—Luke 2:1-7

Hardway Race & ChatGPT

I am doing the Hardway Race Spinnaker B route today. I did the trendy thing of asking ChatGPT on a route.

Question: sailing route from Santa Barbara to Anacapa

The sailing route from Santa Barbara to Anacapa Island usually starts at the Santa Barbara Harbor and heads south towards the Anacapa Island, which is part of the Channel Islands National Park in California.

Here is a common route you could take from Santa Barbara to Anacapa Island:

  1. Leave Santa Barbara Harbor and head south towards the open ocean.

  2. Follow the coastline towards Point Conception, which is known for its rough waters and strong currents.

  3. Once past Point Conception, head east towards the Channel Islands. Keep an eye out for kelp beds and other navigational hazards.

  4. As you approach Anacapa Island, watch for the lighthouse on the eastern end of the island. This is a good landmark for navigation.

  5. Once you reach Anacapa Island, you can anchor in one of the designated anchorages, such as Frenchy's Cove or East Anacapa Cove.

It's important to note that this route can be challenging, especially if you are not an experienced sailor. Be sure to check weather conditions and plan your trip carefully. Also, make sure you have all the necessary safety equipment and permits required by the Channel Islands National Park.

Yes, this is a winner of a route.

This time, I am going to remind myself that you cannot exercise yourself out of a bad diet. Not as much exercise as last year. Still lost 4.7 pounds. No where the goal that I set, but, in the right direction.
