Yet another blog

Over time I’ve had blogs here and there. They start out with these noble efforts of throwing out information in my head from now at this point 20 years of IT experience(which in itselfe is cray to say!). I also didn’t want to do anything so narrow as a blog just on Puppet since as we all know tools change and evolve. I’m also very familiar with PHP since I’ve used it a lot for varios personal sites as well as blogs such as this, so I decided that I didn’t want to do this blog using that. I wanted to avoid both PHP and most defintiely Wordpress! So what did I go with? Well a super simple Ruby solution leveraging Jekyll, so let’s see how this goes!

Since this is my first blog post, nothing gives me more joy then writing this post via VIM! There’s various other ways to do this it seems but I’m going to use VIM for now since I live 99% of my day on the CLI and in VIM anyway! I’m sure if anyone is actually reading this they probably haven’t even made it this far!
