I'm working on a project in my new job and as part of the project I'm trying to register some components globally. As a company we're going to build out a component library and we want to be able to use some components without having to manually impo...

In the last blog post I built the functionality to handle form submission for the file upload itself, but we still didn't have a way to actually handle the files. In this post I'll set up the very basic markup as well as the accompanying script funct...

In the last blog post I touched on setting up a Google Drive folder to serve as the location of our uploads as well as creating the necessary endpoints for uploading and renaming the files. In this post I'll set up functions to send any necessary fil...

In the last blog post I set up a service account to authenticate for Google Drive's API, encrypted the resulting .json file, and set up functionality to decrypt said file to use for the purpose of actual authentication. In this post I will show you h...

Note: all credentials have already been destroyed so there is no need to let me know to not share credential information online. I just finished working on a project for a client/friend in which she wanted to have a page where she could have forms av...

So I had started this blog back in November (I actually joined in August) with the intent of building up to some sort of following/content creation. I wrote an article series and a couple of other random things and then everything sort of died down. Well, there's a good reason for that: life happened.
You see, I have two kids, 8 and 5, and a full-time job. I have other responsibilities as well, but here's what my day looks like on a regular basis:
As a note, I tend to not have too many meetings on a daily basis, which is a change from my last job. There are some odd days when I do have to have ad hoc calls with team members, or where there's a grooming session or sprint planning/review, but those aren't every day.
The thing is, this is a normal day. By no means am I complaining because there are myriad things for which I'm very fortunate. The point of mentioning this, as I write this by "candlelight" in the wee hours of Saturday morning, is that I have no clue how some content creators have the time to create content to the extent that they have. I would love ❤️ to be able to blog, come up with witty tweets, create YouTube tutorials, and all of that other good stuff. But the thing is, what I really enjoy doing is building actual websites.
And therein lies the point of this post. I've managed to take some spare time, what little I have, to build a site and start recording some content for YouTube, and I'm planning on trying to do more in the coming weeks and months. I'll share a little more about the actual plans soon, because otherwise this would end up being a novel, but I have a few things that I'm going to be touching on in the very near future. Check back in the next few days for the first update.
