You might have noticed the blog change again. I’ve moved everything back to WordPress as micro.blog’s writing interface was absolutely horrendous.

I’ll keep it here while I look at other options

KCNA

I successfully went into, and passed my #KCNA exam. I actually bought the exam coupon last December and just hadn’t got round to doing the exam.

I ended up walking away with only 3 questions wrong. Two I wasn’t sure of anyway, so I’ll assume I got those wrong. The third however, I’m not sure which one I got wrong.

However there was one question in there which technically had no correct answers selectable. The question was this:

Which of the following is a valid Kubernetes pod restart policy?

  • on init
  • on update
  • on startup
  • on failure

None of the above are, strictly speaking, correct. It should be OnFailure and not on failure — see the Kubernetes docs.

I picked on failure as that is the closest to being correct.

I’ll be pretty pissed if they marked me wrong on this question.

I’ve now connected micro.blog to this domain and most of my content from WordPress is sitting here. I might post occasionally. Nowhere as often as I used to previously, but better than nothing, I guess.

Redirects

I’ve now configured a redirector within Google Cloud to handle redirects from the old blog and point them to the WordPress-centric domain. Essentially doing what wordpress.com was doing while the domain was still with them.

I’ll leave this in place until I decide what to do with the blog.

WP Drama

You may already be aware of the mess that is happening with WordPress/Automattic and WP Engine.

This mess has enforced the need for me to disconnect my blog domain from here as quickly as possible, but I still haven’t found any good options.

ClassicPress is one, but trying to find an appropriate host is tricky since it’s not a widely used.

Ghost is another I have considered and am still considering.

Tumblr…. just, nope…

Disconnecting Domain

I’m going to be disconnecting the domain from this blog probably in the next month or so.

I’ll move the domain off WordPress and plug in a redirect to bring it back here for those who have bookmarked my articles.
