A New Home on the Internet

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

For the last few years, I’ve maintained two separate websites. My personal website — built with Hugo Apero — housed my publications, projects, talks, and an about page. My blog — a separate Hugo site with the Archie theme — held all my writing. The idea was to keep “professional” and “personal” apart. In practice, it meant I was never sure where something belonged. Is a technical tutorial about R a “project” or a “blog post”? Is a conference reflection a “talk” or a piece of writing? The boundaries were artificial, and maintaining two sites meant twice the headaches.

Have fun with Terminal on Mac/Linux

Fri, 03 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Terminal can be quite fun to play around with. On encouragement of my friend Pablo, I ventured around to discover some interesting ones.

To use any of them, you should fire up Terminal on your MacOS/Linux/Unix and install the right packages using apt-get on Linux or brew on MacOS.

First, install Homebrew if you don’t have it already.

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Once you have that, install any given package using brew install command like below.
