Hello blog!
Hello blog! My name is Alberto Luna Pedreño. I am a frontend developer who works as Domain Architect.
I decided that I want to start writing about what I am doing in my home lab to have it as documentation. I think I am doing interesting things and I want to remember how I did them in the future.
This blog is created using Eleventy, Cloudflare pages and Obsidian.
Eleventy #
I chose Eleventy because I wanted to use a static site generator and I heard very good things about it. In my day job I use a lot Web Components and in the Web Component community Eleventy has a good reputation. I like also that I can use Nunjunks as template engine.
For now I am using the eleventy-base-blog template as it is, not customisation done to it. I like how simple it is and I can customise it if I want in the future. So far I just want to start writing, so I am not going to get distracted trying to make the site looks more personal or different.
Cloudflare pages #
I am using Cloudflare pages because I am already using Cloudflare in my personal domain and I extensively use Cloudflare in my day job, so I wanted to try out their pages product. So far I like it, it is dead simple and you can even just drag and drop a folder and have it immediately online. For now I will just drag and drop the content every time I want to publish/update something and later on I will integrate it with git and Obsidian.
Obisdian #
Also I am trying to be more organised in my life, so I decided to give a go to Obsidian. I started using Boost note a very long time ago, then simplenote, then notion and now Obsidian. I don't consider myself obsessed with productivity but the idea of having my toughs organised and available to read attracts me.
I will write first blog entries in Obsidian and then I will manually commit the files to git, generate the site and upload it to Cloudflare Pages. I will automate all this in the future.
