Attention!

Check out my new TESTING page where I hope to continue testing new features. Also, be sure to have a look at my new HIKES site and especially some of the “highlighted” hikes that are listed in bold there.

Note that HIKES used to be a “section” here, but there are a lot of them so I made a site just for them.

Might have to check out Simple Search for Hugo Drop-In soon!

Just completed download, config, build and install of Merlin 2.1.x firmware for my Creality Ender 3 Pro with a v4.2.7 Motherboard and TMC2225 Driver (for Marlin 2.0.1). I followed this video for install guidance, then did a bed leveling procedure.

However, at this point Octoprint is throwing an error stating that…

Your printer's firmware supports host action commands, but they are disabled. The firmware will not inform OctoPrint about job pause & cancellations, filament runouts, and similar firmware-side events. If you want this functionality, you need to change your firmware's configuration.

So, when I get home next week it looks like this will need more attention.

Atom No More?

Posted on from Toledo, IA

Yesterday one of my library colleagues at Grinnell College posted an announcement that Atom would be retired (sunset) in December 2022. Ouch, I have a lot of workflows that depend on Atom!

So, today part of my mission is to begin the process of migrating workflows, both work-related and personal/at-home, from Atom to its most logical replacement, Visual Studio Code or VS Code as it’s largely known in the development community. The other part of today’s mission was to update this blog, something I’ve not done in far too long!

Yes, it has been far too long since I posted here. Sorry.

In the past week me and Mackenzie have taken steps to start revamping TamaToledo.org, all using GitHub Pages to host sites. Thus far we have a new landing page at https://TamaToledo.org, a re-publish of https://STC-REC.TamaToledo.org, and a new Tama-Toledo Community Visioning site at https://cv.TamaToledo.org. Check them out!

Got an app icon stuck on-screen on my Mac again. Found a fix at https://apple.stackexchange.com/posts/222193/revisions. killall Dock works nicely!

Moving to Netlify CMS

Posted on from Toledo, IA

In my last post, Adding Netlify CMS for Editing This Blog, I was able to successfully engage the Netlify CMS with a “local” copy of this blog. But I never got the CMS to work in production with this blog’s App on DigitalOcean (DO). I should note that DO’s support folks were very helpful, but in the end I think all of the client-side stuff that Netlify CMS is doing was more than they were willing (capable?) of helping me overcome. That’s probably my fault more than their’s; client-side isn’t my strong suit.

Adding Netlify CMS for Editing This Blog

Posted on from Toledo, IA

OK, I’m using the “Rich Text” editor option in the body field here in my “posts” Netlify CMS form for this blog. Will it work? We shall see!

Yup!

I have to confess, this is pretty cool. I’m even able to switch dynamically between the Rich Text and Markdown editors here!

How Was This Done?

Let me elaborate just a bit…

Using Hugo

Since this blog is published using Hugo I looked to the Netlify CMS guidance provided at https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/hugo/ for help.
