Tarheel-NC Static Website

Table of Contents

1 Overview

So, this is my dumb Amazon S3 static web site bucket.

:)

The source files for this web site are stored at https://github.com/JohnL4/Tarheel-NC, if you're interested in tracking changes over time.

2 Stuff Of Interest

(Depending on how you define "interest", of course.) Most recent at top.

5calls.org
How to call your representative. Log of my activity (as long as I can remember where I put this stupid file.)
evil-retail-companies.org
Retail companies I don't like, for various reasons
bad-decisions.org
Bad decisions throughout history (mostly 20th century and later)
migrating-from-DynDNS-to-Route53.org

Migrating from Oracle DynDNS to AWS Route 53, since Dyn

  1. is expensive; and
  2. doesn't have the capability I want to route a subdomain elsewhere without (probably) an expensive upgrade (about $50/year above what I'm already paying, which is… $60/year).

(Spoiler alert: too much to understand right now; on hold.)

web-app-journal.org
(symbolic link to) My journey of (re-) discovery as I (re-) learn what it takes to develop a "real" web app with a Java back-end. This journal is maintained as part of my experience in developing the Lay Leadership app. If this link becomes broken (i.e., turned into a real file instead of a symlink), it may get out of date, so try checking the version in its GitHub repository.
tomcat-9-setup.org
How I got Tomcat 9 running on on Java 11 on my AWS EC2 instance that's already running Tomcat 8 to host my wiki.
2020-primaries.org
Summarization of the The Independent's endorsements for the 2020 (U.S.) primary election.
Orgzly
Various notes files I generate using http://www.orgzly.com/ and feel like sharing.
Diaspora
"hard science-fiction role-playing with fate*" (except the new version, still under development as of <2020-01-01 Wed>, doesn't actually use Fate).
sql-basics.org
SQL basics, like it says. Not much to it, at present, but who knows, maybe I'll flesh it out a bit later.
project-ideas.org
Notes on project ideas I have, since my dynamic jspwiki is completely broken. >:( (Actually, I got it fixed. See http://web.how-hard-can-it-be.com/wiki.)
Linux
W000! Linux!
org-mode.org
My terse notes on org-mode, my markup language of choice. Kind of a cheat sheet for the uninitiated.
article-play.tex
TeX file, document template. (Generates article-play.pdf.)
Haskell
Notes on Haskell, as I re-re-re-re-start my journey of discovery. And the main reason for the recent flurry of activity on this static web site thing.
static-website.org
Publishing this dumb static web site from source files.
using-aws.org
AWS hijinks (provisioning an instance, getting it set up for development, etc.)
jspwiki-setup.org
Administering my dumb wiki
2018-elections.org
Summarization of the The Independent's endorsements for the 2018 (U.S.) midterm elections.
Orgzly/hugo.html
This is the HTML version of an Orgzly file I first created on my phone. It's not necessarily up-to-date, since I'm updating HTML manually now (updates too slow, really; plus worried about accidentally deploying live.js to my S3 bucket and racking up unnecessary charges w/one-second refresh cycle). Original org-mode version is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ji4ziwzxqxu81ei/hugo.org?dl=0
aws-s3-powershell-and-cli.org
Notes on using PowerShell to keep an AWS S3 bucket up to date.
free-orion-tech-research.svg
An SVG I generated (using GraphViz) of technologies to research in FreeOrion. Original input is free-orion-tech-research.txt.

3 Play

Verbatim: verbatim

Code: code

maybe we like equal signs better_3^2 since "code" seems to be fairly loaded in org-mode (implications of execution and whatnot).

SubDir
A subdirectory
another-file.html
Just a random HTML file I hacked up.
some-org-mode-garbage.org
An org file in a subdirectory.
