Setting this up with Jekyll

I thought I would post about the resources that I have had the privilege to refer to, in trying out the static-site generator Jekyll and one of the themes for it, Poole.

A new way? nineteenth of March 2018: Night

When did it become an assumption that I have to have a password on the Internet or even my desktop-computer? I was inspired to think if something has gone wrong, in the design of Internet-and-computer technologies, when I realised that an engineering problem - how to display certain information on a web-site - could possibly be solved by letting users run commands on the server (as opposed as viewing data on a client) Passwords, levels of privilege, ‘admininistrator-rights’ - don’t all these scream ‘I don’t trust you. I don’t trust others’ Now is that what I want in my life, I ask. Do I want to indirectly say ‘I don’t trust others’ every time I use a technology. Or do I want to spend time building (trust in) relationships that arguably are made and broken by (mutual) trust. Does using technology necessarily mean that I have to give up on trust and/or trust-building. Is it possible we could find a new way to use technology so that we find the satisfaction (and intimacy) that comes from a rewarding relationship with a something. A god. A business-partner. So on and so forth.

I’m suffering. They are suffering.

How to put an end to suffering? For myself.

Others can try out my methods if they want.

And of course they have to find out their own way.

Kodo Suzuki Roshi said that adults have to become like children, and children have to become like adults, for children to grow. Apparently, he said that.

If I were a foster parent of all these lovable children in the world, my impending death is something I have to deal with. Preparations have to be made for other people to help all these children grow, so that my death will not stop their growth.

Yes, as Jobs said, death means having to tell your children what you thought you would have the rest of your life so tell.

THere is a temple called Antaiji in Japan. The people there practice zazen that is good for nothing.

There is a person who is helping people to find a suitable livelihood. She also practises Zen. Her book is a work-in-progress. It is predicted to be published in Fall 2017. Her name is Maia Duerr.

There are people who teach Zen in Singapore. Their names are Vivienne and Boey Wah Keong.

They will do what I amy not have the time to do. At least, they can do what I may run out of time to do.

Zazen is good for nothing. It is the way to liberate-save suffering people-human. Suzuki Roshi said that.
