&lt;p&gt;Hello! I am Ryan Hendrickson and a Senior Platform Engineer in Washington State, USA.
To be honest I&#x27;m not 100% sure what to put here, so, this will be pretty short.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;why&quot;&gt;Why&lt;&#x2F;h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Starting my own blog has been something that I&#x27;ve always wanted to do, but never got around to.
Cut to 2026, and I decided to finally say &quot;screw it&quot; and start after migrating my website to a static site generator (article incoming).&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So what can you expect to read here? Whoof, who knows. Currently there&#x27;s no exotic grand plans.
It&#x27;ll probably just be the ramblings of a mad man, and random things I learn&#x2F;find interesting.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since I am currently using &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener external&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getzola.org&quot;&gt;Zola&lt;&#x2F;a&gt;, I&#x27;ve added an Atom link in the footer!
So if what I post interests you, you can easily subscribe and be notified of any future articles.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;topics&quot;&gt;Topics&lt;&#x2F;h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#x27;m still trying to figure out what I&#x27;ll even post articles about.
As of right now though, I&#x27;m thinking just the various technology related things I work on professionally and as a hobby.
That means this is a non-exhaustive list:&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ansible&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Debian&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;FreeBSD&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Go&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rust&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;PHP
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Symfony&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;WordPress&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;li&gt;
&lt;&#x2F;ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;what-s-next&quot;&gt;What&#x27;s Next&lt;&#x2F;h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think the next article in my future is writing about the migration from &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener external&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;symfony.com&quot;&gt;Symfony&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; with &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener external&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.postgresql.org&quot;&gt;Postgres&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; to &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener external&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getzola.org&quot;&gt;Zola&lt;&#x2F;a&gt;.
Also probably the migration from &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener external&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nginx.org&#x2F;&quot;&gt;Nginx&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; to &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener external&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;caddyserver.com&quot;&gt;Caddy&lt;&#x2F;a&gt;.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;closing&quot;&gt;Closing&lt;&#x2F;h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#x27;m new to this, especially putting myself out on the internet like this.
However, if you want to connect feel free to send me a &lt;a rel=&quot;noopener external&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;rynhndrcksn&#x2F;&quot;&gt;LinkedIn&lt;&#x2F;a&gt; request!
Otherwise, I&#x27;ll see you in the next article!&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
