Programmer, photographer, engineer.
How writing a new blog post turned into a multi hour bug hunt over several layers.
Today I finally managed to finish another blog post. It was about 2pm when I started my Hugo again to test it.
How can you improve the performance of photoswipe when using it together with Hugo?
So today I finally managed to release my first post about my exchange semester in Finland. If you wonder why it is not under newest posts, it is because I ‘backdated’ it to January 8th when the images were taken. I explained why I do that in another post. In short I want to keep my blog as a kind of diary and it fits nicer if the images are sorted in chronologically in the order they were taken.
As you might have notices my blog has gotten a new theme. This might come surprising as the blog is only up for one month. However the new theme is merely the visible result of a much more important change under the hood. After a colleague told me about Hugo and it’s built in multilanguage support I became curious and tried it out.
In this post I describe how the Icarus theme for Hexo can be used without CDNs.
So in my first posts I promised you that I will remove the dependency on external CDNs. While the deployment process of my blog still not works flawless due to some bogus JavaScript errors I managed to get at least rid of the CDNs.
