Welcome to my newly created blog, I’m really not sure how good this will going to be, but I will try to make it as beautiful and interesting as possible.

+

My Name is Alexander Pieck, and even though I am into the IT-Business, I’m normally that kind of sysadmin, that runs the servers and the hardware and is responsible for the bad internet-speeds and the bad password-policy (spoiler: I also! hate changing my password every 180 days).

+

But anyway, I recently tried to give programming a shot. I started with some bash scripts for my dotfiles and loved the customizability and freedom you have if you just do it yourself!

+

And then I thought about my own website. As an IT guy, I also have my own company and thus, I need a way to display myself in the world wide web. So about a week ago, I started doing some html and css. Just basic stuff, like padding and margin, the flexboxes and how to layout/place stuff. That kind of helped me customizing my dotfiles as well.

+

I mean, I already knew markdown a bit, becouse of git, of course. But I really didn’t have the need to write much stuff in markdown. Now, with Hugo as my site-generator, I need to know markdown well and becouse I think it’s a pretty easy and fast way to deploy websites (even non blog websites, if you know how to), i wanted to go that route.

+

Now this whole idea should not be just for nothing. I plan to get it online but really, it’s just for me so..

+

what do I want to acchieve?

+

Good question folk, I’d like to get some things done with this idea.. Let me get a bit more specific:

+
    +
  1. Just writing
    2. +
+
+

I don’t know why, but I always liked to share my thoughts with others. I would do this to fresh up my own knowlage and always thought, that the others will learn something from it, even tough - now that I think about it - I don’t really think, that this was often a case.. So yea, mostly for myself, again. +Also i just love the english language, even though I’m not native to the english language. I’m from germany and maybe I will try to add translated versions for my blog later on.

+
    +
  1. Learning vim-keybings (neovim)
    2. +
+
+
    +
  • As i started coding, I stumbled accross The Primagean and just felt in love, when i saw his vim skills and how fast he can just DO stuff. I was stunned and acctually installed neovim at the same day.
    • +
  • Now my newly gained neovim-love it thanks to the neovide frontend for neovim. It is just absolutely goregous, and I really do want to write and learn and live in here now!
