Thinking about my home office set up… Getting a second monitor and an arm for my iMac.
The new “Tomoe River paper” background color I sampled reminds me of the Solarized palette. So I borrowed some colors from it for the dark theme I added to the site.
Cleaning up my web host and trying out a few things with it like git remote repositories and hooks.
