| 13 | I've redesigned the website (again) and rewritten the [template |
| 14 | engine](https://git.joshstock.in/joshstock.in) (again). Now that the template |
| 15 | engine encompasses the whole subdomain, it'll be easier to generate consistent |
| 16 | content. HTML is generated exclusively through Python, which allows a ton of |
| 17 | flexibility; it runs Sass for stylesheets and uses Markdown for content, which |
| 18 | I can attach metadata to in the head of the `.md` file. For example, this blog |
| 19 | article content is written in Markdown with this meta-header: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 | ```yaml |

|
| 35 | I can also write HTML in the Markdown, which lets me nicely embed media in |
| 36 | `figure`s, as seen below. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 | I'll do a better writeup on the template engine in the [Projects](/projects) |
| 39 | section someday. |

|
| 48 | There are still a few things I need to fix or add to the site—in particular: |
| 49 |
|
| 50 | - Update [resty-gitweb](https://git.joshstock.in/resty-gitweb) so I can use |
| 51 | this site's generated headers as templates on the Git subdomain, for seamless |
| 52 | cross-subdomain appearance |
| 53 | - **Populate the blog and projects pages!** |
| 54 |
|
| 55 | On populating the blog, here is a list of **planned articles**: |
| 56 | - Patching Python's regex AST for confusable homoglyphs |
| 57 | - Recovering a Linux desktop with a misconfigured shell |
| 58 | - Upgrading an end-of-life (EOL) Ubuntu version using apt |
| 59 | - Building nginx With OpenResty |
| 60 | - Installing and Configuring [resty-gitweb](https://git.joshstock.in/resty-gitweb) for Production |
| 61 | - Using ESP32 to Read PWM or PPM Data |
| 62 | - Automating AutoCAD environment setup with AutoLISP |
| 63 |
|
| 64 | And on populating the **projects** page: |
| 65 | - [espy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfSqagByDVk) — a remote controlled snow plow |
| 66 | - [s3-bsync](https://git.joshstock.in/s3-bsync) — asynchronous bidirectional file syncing with AWS S3 |
| 67 | - co2-monitor — ESP32-based carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring and analytics IoT platform |
| 68 | - [resty-gitweb](https://git.joshstock.in/resty-gitweb) — an HTTP interface for Git built with OpenResty |
| 69 | - [ncurses-minesweeper](https://git.joshstock.in/ncurses-minesweeper) — terminal emulator minesweeper clone |
| 70 | - [joshstock.in](https://git.joshstock.in/joshstock.in) — this website |
| 71 | - zydeco — planned future OpenGL project; breaking into graphics programming, procedural generation, geology and climate simulation, mesh optimization |
| 72 | - [UIUC SE101B](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e011eOmPh0) — reverse engineering and design project for SE101 @ UIUC Grainger |
| 73 | - RCHS STEM — port old ePortfolio and pictures |
| 74 |
|
| 75 | Here's the full Kanboard project for this website: |

| 78 |
|
| 79 | As much as I want to work on these projects, I am however a full-time |
| 80 | engineering student interning during summers and, while I try my best, I can't |
| 81 | commit any regular amount of time to writing or working on these projects. |
