Comments in Hugo - mail-based
Comments with a static website generator are a difficult thing. There are not too many options to implement this functionality. Basically comments are contradicting the paradigm of a static website. They are not exactly static, aren’t they? So either you integrate a commenting-service into your website or implement an own feedback-cycle. Cloud-services for comments … and why they simply are a “fail”, these days At first it sounds like a brillant idea … you give them money and in return, they manage the comments for your website.

The iPad can be quite a media-center. It is breath-taking, how versatile this small thing is.
Admitted, the amount of storage is rather limited. But even a very small iPad will serve the purpose.

With a job like ours, sports is … important. Bla bla … it is healthy … bla bla. Even I cannot hear it anymore. Do not do it because of anybody talking that bla bla. Find your own relation to it. Myself I feel better when I do some sports occasionally. For a time in my life, I have done too much sports and it did me no good in the end. So find a moderate mix and a level you enjoy. That’s it. That’s all.

Often enough, when I come back to the hotel, I want lie down and relax. The bloody old sequential TV is likely not a solid option.
I faced this problem and was looking for a solution.
For now let us make the assumption that your hotel-room offers WLAN and a TV with a spare HDMI-slot: Pack your Playstation 3!
I own one and ignore for a long time already. When turning back to “travelling consultancy”, because I did not get a job around my home, I faced this problem: I want a media-centre. I want Music, Video and Gaming.

When I originally learned about Hugo, I thought … what a brillant idea. And then I learned that for years I had missed out on a fully branch of web-technologies. I had my head stuck so deep in things like CMS, PHP, frameworks and dynamic web development, that I had forgotten about the simple things. Let us go back to the roots …

I am a Linux-person. Linux/UNIX is my life. I breathe it, I live it. That is me. Then gain, there is the business. The business is defined by my customers. I need to be able to communicate with and share documents with my customers. The thing is … my customers use Windows and they use Microsoft Office. Myself I am happy with the offices that my favorite machines offer: pages/numbers/keynote on macOS and OpenOffice/LibreOffice on any system (mostly Linux).

xPhoenix is a project of mine. Once it is complete to at least a usable degree I will publish it as open-source. So what is the deal? I’ll keep it short here, because I intend to build a complete website around that thing. In short terms, xPhoenix will build a workstation for you. One with all bells and whistles. It will do so, based on Kubuntu or macOS. If you ever lose your workstation-machine or simply need another one, xPhoenix will do this for you with a few commands into a freshly installed base-system.

Caffeine is available not only for Linux. I use alike software on Windows and macOS as well. Again it is listet here, because the Windows-version is nicely available as PortableApp.

Xmind in general is not solely a Windows-Tool. It is available on several other platforms. I list it here, because it nicely integrates with the PortableApps-stack.
Xmind is a good solution for Mind-Mapping. The free version usually suffices for me. Anyway, your mileage may vary. If you are more into project-management, the pro-features might be interesting to you.

Kitty (available in PortableApps) is a putty-fork, that adds a few nifty little features. I like it because of the start-button and especially as it can save profiles not just in the registry but also a flat files.
