My Hugo Writing Workflow
I’ve been testing out Hugo for a few days and finding I enjoy the experience. I’m writing about my current workflow as a new user. Documenting my early workflow could be worthwhile as I may adjust over time.
The tools I am using the following applications and they’re a matter of personal preference.
Vim: Text Editor i3wm: Window Manager Firefox That’s it. Actually this list could simply bit I use Vim and leave it at that.

In Manu Saadia’s 2016 book Trekonomics there’s a short paragraph in Chapter 7.
The Prime Directive acts as a caution for the best of our humanitarian and philanthropic impulses. It warns us that progress is not always uniformly good.

Rewatching the Farscape Pilot
While plugging along in Hugo I decided to give the Farscape pilot a watch.
It’s been twenty years since John Crichton’s Farscape One was caught in a wormhole attempting to use earth’s mass to slingshot somewhere… Beyond earth orbit. Unfortunately, the writers didn’t provide any more details than a half minute of bland dialog.
Once we find ourselves beyond earth and Space Shuttle Discovery file footage things start to get interesting.

This Frelling Blog
I’m amused this domain name was available. This morning I searched for a project domain to test out the Hugo static-site generator framework and came across the relatively cheap .space domain at namecheap. Naturally all the generic terms were taken. Battlestar Galatica’s frak wasn’t available, but frell was. As a frelling fan of Farscape I couldn’t pass it up.
What the Frell Frell is a Sebacean word that substitutes for curse words such as fuck and shit.

My First Post
Somehow I expected installing hugo to be a more difficult process than it actually was. Sure getting my system ready took at most an hour but the Quick Start guide covered everything nearly perfectly.
Ubuntu threw up a few messages for dependencies not metioned in that guide however, that’s to be expected. Once I followed those prompts everything was ready. This is actually the second time I’ve installed it on a system so I knew what to expect.
