Both Hugo and WordPress are free software created with love and a lot of unpaid labor. My hat is off to both projects and their developers.

About the Software

Hugo

Hugo is a program written in Go that runs on your computer and generates a static website based on files you create. These include markdown files for content, HTML-ish files for themes, and static assets. All you need to put it out into the world is a way to serve web pages.

A Hello World post doesn’t make a lot of sense considering this blog has some older content, but it’s a new blogging engine, so hello from it, I guess.

I just passed the 23rd anniversary of creating my first website, which I would eventually name Midnight on a Wednesday. For my 16th birthday, my mom let me register my first domain name, kjcoop.com.

I was exposed to computers late relative to other people of my generation. I thought it was amazing that I could read the writings of people all over the world - there were no boundaries on the internet. This was before Wordpress and Facebook and even Friendster. if you wanted a website, you had to learn HTML.
