Go

To install Golang on Ubuntu you will need to add a PPA repo: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:longsleep/golang-backports sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install golang-go It does not give you the latest minor version but tends to give to the latest major version. Golang 1.8.3 is released and as of today I still get 1.8.1 via this PPA repo.

Yesterday I spent a couple of hours to set up and config Octopress. It was a good hacking experience and Octopress architecture and design proved overly complex and inconsistent with Jekyll’s simplicity that it built on. There’s no simple way to use a Jekyll theme with Octopress. Apart from that, Octopress has not been in good health since 2015, there were few commits and changes, it’s literally dying. So today I decided to make a bold move to search for new static site generators.
