Summer To Do List

It’s graduation next week, the official end of the University year and the start of the summer battery recharge.

Reclaiming my sites

My adventures of Domain of One’s Own with Reclaim Hosting continues. I’ve just resurrected the Dokuwiki that I used for various modules related to Internet and Communications Technology (ICCT). You’ll find this at its new home at dokuwiki.cpjobling.net. I’ve also set up a new development blog using the static-website generation tool Nikola. You’ll find Crispy Dev hosted at dev.cpjobling.net as well as on GitHub at cpjobling.github.io/dev.cpjobling.net.
