MarkDown testing with thumbnail photo 1 Suspecting this will be a final afternoon test of Hugo to see if the image appears as a thumbnail and leading image to this post. So far so good with the iA Writer on the iPad in typing these last few posts with MarkDown. Still a problem with saving to iCloud and manually having to move to the server and run Hugo to build the static pages … but the site runs on minimal server hardware and is fast.

MarkDown testing in 2022 1 Practice makes perfect … or perhaps it is just practice? In smoothing out a few wrinkles in ”how to post” from iA Writerto the Hugo server, there are still too many steps, especially from the iPad. Nevertheless, this is attempt TWO. see link for the first post. ↩︎

MarkDown testing in 20221 There are a few options to working with MarkDown on iA Writer on the iPad. Unfortunately it will only save to Apple iCloud. I’m not sure just how this is going to work. It is scrolling just fine, but the text doesn’t look quite right to me. Perhaps a blockquote test? this is a block quote inside the quote? This is a List:

This is a timed post to be published on June 16, 2022. This post is a bit of editing a Markdown document without Typora to create a post with links and formatted text.

After strong storms ripped through the area, the Raspberry Pi load-balanced and Hugo setup I had running locally, were knocked out and required some updating to bring Brenich.com back online. In order to keep with testing and updating, here are a couple yard photos that require evening and weekend clean-up. Dead tree on neighbor’s driveway and our fence

Checking on Inflation 1 To keep the Hugo server running and active, here’s a June 2022 #inflation-oriented PIZZA post as repackaging sizes shrink and price increases are noticed. ! updated to reflect shrinkflation - June 2022 ↩︎

The financial markets are getting the message from the Fed, company guidance and inflation that the United States and world economies will be slowing. The recent fiscal quarter shows growth is shrinking while inflation continues to rise – we call that stagflation. If another quarter shows the same, we’ll officially be in a recession … although at this time most economists aren’t forecasting that this year, but in 2023. Unlike a normal recession when investors can hunker down, sell a few assets and plan for a rebound, this time the devalued dollar is likely to cause consternation as to what they should do.

As the Fed finally starts to deal with inflation, the market took note this month and seems to be selling off across the board. The expectation is that the economy will slow and as they say in the investing world, “don’t fight the Fed.” There isn’t a silver bullet that can keep businesses booming, paychecks rising and inflation under control forever. Something needs to give, especially when our government continues to expand, spend and add to deficit spending and debt.
