Library of Lexy: Blog

Welcome to my Blog.

I've been thinking about how I was going to add a blog to my site when I came to the realization that I can utilize a tool I'm already running on my server!

I've been using Memos (an open-source self-hosted notes application) for note taking purposes and it dawned on me that I can make notes public for blogging and then use an iFrame to get it here to the blog page. I was really dreading having to blog in HTML so um...fuck yeah - that's exactly what I'm doing. Memos uses markdown, which I personally find more format friendly and won't have to manually update this page when I bang out a new post (or two).

What can you expect from my posts? Hard telling, honestly. I'm a person who can sit down and write out a 1000 word post in very little time, I absolute adore writing. I'd wager you can expect to see:

Thoughts on Current Events
Personal Takes on Special Interests
Posts about Birdwatching
Cool New Things I've Learned
Perhaps some Book Reviews

It will be interesting to see how this blog project evolves. I've had many blogs in the past (Myspace/Bloggr girly from back in the day, was also a casuality of the Tumblr apocalypse) so I know how easy it is to start out with good intentions and lose steam halfway through so I'm hoping that having my blogs filter through an tool I already use everyday will help keep me motivated to post.

If long form content is not your cup of tea, I use Mastodon for more "social media" type things. If you like birds, I have a BirdPi server that you can pop in and listen to my bird audios!
