Getting going on the blog
This is just a quick post to state, that this blog is not dead yet. It is a matter of getting going again. This post is a way to just get going.
One of a the better quotes that I come accross:
"We must love them both, those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject, for both have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us in finding it." [1]
This quote belongs with this post:
Let us practice many acts of kindness and gentle clarity toward those we like the least.
—St. Frances de Sales

I think of all the sections, project failure is the one to watch out for. As a government worker, the ones in bold are the big ones.
What is project?
Temporary in Nature, endeavor to create a unique product, capability or result.
Project has start/end date, expected output
Project Failure
Lack of Leadership, no one in charge or everyone
Lack of Stakeholder buy-in
Stakeholder is anyone who is affected by the project. Includes those who may stop it.
Poor scope definition
Project strays from its original goals
Unclear outcomes/expectations
Changing standards
Insufficient or mismanaged resources (budget/labor)
Poorly defined or unrealistic timeline
The project plan lacks structure and detail
The project is not tracked against the plan
Inadequate or non-existent testing with end user
Project team is not communicating
Political infighting.

My ADHD is getting the better of me. I have a nasty habit of wasting time looking at solutions instead of just getting the job done. In this case, blogging software.
My current site as of now uses Nikola static web. My concern with all open-source projects is it supported and continually developed, and there is there a plan if the primary developer stops
I have been playing with Hugo since it is number 2 and not JavaScript and Pelican.
All in all, I am sticking with Nikola, a very it just works feel for a Python-based static blog generator.
In the tradition of last year, I decide run a report of what I have done as a year in exercise.

This time, I am going to remind myself that you cannot exercise yourself out of a bad diet again. Not as much exercise as last year.
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirin′i-us was governor of Syria. And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there,In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. 2 This was the first enrollment, when Quirin′i-us was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. 7 And she gave birth to her first-born[a] son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
