Come with me and let me regale you on a time I broke my access to SSH with a faulty bashrc change.

So, this micro post is kind of a big deal for me. In spite of it’s casual nature, it’s actually the first micro post I have published on my site. My goal is to use my personal site for all of my content first, and distribute this elsewhere. They call it PoSSE (publish on site, […]
