I'm nearly done with Israel. But not quite.

Drupal 8 Development / Deployment Workflow

Mon, 05/08/2019 - 12:52 -- James Oakley

I've been putting off learning how to build sites in Drupal 8, and migrating my existing Drupal 7 sites over to Drupal 8. Why? Drupal 8 uses a lot of new tools. I want to learn how to set up a Drupal 8 site in the "right" (optimal) way so that I don't incur technical debt for myself later on. That means I have a lot of tools to learn. That takes time, which I don't have a lot of. So I've procrastinated.

Iced Tea

Fri, 19/07/2019 - 10:30 -- James Oakley

The past two summers, as the weather has warmed, I've posted recipes for Iced Coffee (2017) and Cold Brew Coffee (2018).

I thought this year, it was time for iced tea.

Two preliminary comments:

1. I've tagged this post under "Coffee". Yes, I know. I hardly ever make posts about tea, and if I start doing so I'll create a new category and retag the post. For the time being, it's the closest category.

Spirit as Love

My sabbatical study project concerns a specific aspect of Trinitarian theology. (See my earlier post outlining what I planned to study).

Before reading books on this specific topic, I've been reading some more general works on the Trinity. My thinking is very rusty, and I need to enter the world of Trinitarian thought again at greater detail.
