+So far it has been a real breeze to build, the only setback I had with the new hardware was that the board would not POST BOOT for some reason. I pulled the second memory module from the socket and tried again and that worked. Installed Ubuntu 17.04 as my current OS, making it also my first Linux system to use as my main machine. After installing Ubuntu and shutting down I placed the memory module back and the system booted fine since then.

+title: New site
+author: Kevin Matsubara

+---
+
+Today I released another iteration of my personal website.
+
+My website has evolved often, it started with literally text files opened in Microsoft Notepad and then saved as HTML and CSS files into a folder. My "website" was nothing more than a collection of files on my laptop back in 2005 or so.
+
+Then it was expanded upon with PHP in 2012. The "include" function was so amazing, no longer duplicated HTML! And later I rebuilt it again with Python and Django in 2011.
+
+Then everything was rebuilt using React in 2022. And while it worked fine for many years, I just don't see it being a good tool for a simple website such as mine. I do not have many interactive JavaScript elements anyway. My site just consists of simple articles.
+
+So in 2026 I will have switched to Hakyll, a website framework made in Haskell. Mostly because I wanted to learn more about functional programming in my free time and move away from Meta's React. And while I rebuilt the site again, now that my content existed already as Markdown files, I had a much easier time moving. No need for a database migration, just simple files.

+---
+
+I bought some new hobby books from AK Interactive and Mōdiphiüs.
+
+**Figure Painting Techniques F.A.Q. 2** by Arnau Lázaro is a 320 page book packed with tutorials, colour theory and painting techniques. It has useful guides on how to create effects like non-metallic metal (NMM), object source lighting (OSL), other useful things like shadow, smoke, leather. Also weathering your figures and adding those effects to make them stand out is included. It is a very detailed book and a great reference for painting miniatures.
+
+---
+
+**Learning From Expert - Mastering Metal Paining - Character Model Edition** by modelart
+is a 153 page book with lots of technique exlanations using kits from Bandai, Kotobukiya and Wave. There is a section that shows several pages where lots of metallic paints are show side-by-side, so you can determine which paint to buy in order to achieve a certain metal effect.
+
+---
+
+**Sci-Fi F.A.Q.** by Lincoln Wright
+is a 427 page book that would be the only book you need if you want to make science-fiction model kits. A very detailed guide on making Star Wars, Gundam, Maschinen Krieger. Mazinger and Batman vehicles are also featured in there. Lots of crafting and painting techniques are shown in this book.
+
+---
+
+**Rangers of Shadow Deep** by Joseph A. McCullough
+And its expansion, **A Gathering of Heroes**, are tabletop wargaming books. I bought these to see if solo-wargaming is something I can use to give my miniatures a "purpose". It should also motivate me to finish my stack of unpainted miniatures, if I can play a game with them. I have not yet delved into these books, but if I enjoy playing the game, I will write a report on them.
