Not a lot of content changes this week, but I’m attempting to use Roam as my wiki. Currently I have a private and public one. All the editing and writing is done in the private one. And then I export it. remove the stuff I don’t want to be public and import it into the public one.

The process isn’t as easy as I’d like, at the moment. So I will probably not update it every week.

I have been working on some changes on my wiki this weekend:

• Some mayor changes in the structure; there will be more soon ish.
• Moved back to using hugo and ox-hugo to generate it. I’m really happy with the result. I think a lot of what I loved about the former format have been maintained, while not all the issues I had with the first attempt at building a wiki with ox-hugo.
