A Star Ship

I was reading Hacker News and I came across this post. It’s about a blender plugin that procedurally builds space ships. I have never used blender but I thought it looked cool. I downloaded blender, I needed to download a fork of the plugin that would work on the latest version of blender and then I started playing with making ships. It was fun and frustrating. Blender is a tool that can do amazing stuff which means it’s not trivial to use.

Building and Deploying the Blog

I use sourcehut for version control and storing my code. That includes this blog. My workflow until today was pretty simple. I make changes to the blog, commit and push those changes to the remote repo and then I would build the blog and use rsync to copy changes over to my host. I have everything set up to do this on the two main machines I use. It’s really pretty easy.
