This is my first post on the phlogospher, look at me mah! No hands!
       
       Seriously, though, maybe I'll keep this blog up.  My main frustration with blogs
       in the past was the interface required to publish posts, just aweful.  I've
       tried my hand at blogging using markdown via hugo on the www but it was
       still cumbersome.  Maybe that was just my implementation, though.
       
       Being who I am I thought it would be fun to have it run in a container on
       CoreOS.  I had nice scripts around it and used terraform to tear down and
       rebuild and deploy an entirely new container image every time I updated my
       blog.  This was fun, don't get me wrong.  There's definitely something there.
       The idea that, as long as I keep my blog updated regularly, I don't have to
       worry about security patches was really very appealing.  The real hangup came
       from Terraform I think.  I kept the whole thing on github so I could write
       and update the blog from multiple computers but Terraform never really did
       that too well.  Always had problems with updating the files on the remote
       end without logging in to the VPS manually and deleting the VM images that
       the thing was running on.  Terraform should have handled all of that but to
       do that it maintains a statefile and that statefile was never synchronized
       via the git repository correclty... or something.
       
       So here's to my next attempt.  May it be simple enough to keep me writing.
