DNS and Domains

Day 14

Not too much pure coding today, rewrote a bit of Lonestar to serve a Google form/sheet as a stand-in for while the rest of the app develops. Ended up having to make the repo private sadly, but I'll share the site when it's prettied up. I definitely prioritized functionality over appearance for it.

I bought a new domain today, can't believe I didn't think of getting www.ichbin.dev sooner! Somehow I'd never bought my own domain name before this site so it was interesting to run through the process of getting the DNS resolved and the redirects in place. I knew the theory of how it all worked but it's nice to see it in practice.

I finally have a free weekend, hoping to fix up the blog a bit more. I'd like to move all of the #100daysofcode items into their own path on the site, so I can keep them and an actual blog with more useful and better written posts 😄
