class="meta">Benjamin Sanders | 17 July 2017 | google-drive</p> + <p>So, you’re out of school or are almost out and you are looking for a job? You’ve got your resume in hand or I should say in PDF form on your computer. You could upload it every time you send an email to a potential job or, and I suppose this only works if you use Gmail, you could upload it to Google Drive.</p> + +<p>Recently I had applied for a job and I went to upload my resume to send to them and I had this thought about importing it from Google Drive. For some reason, all the times I had sent applications in I hadn’t thought about doing this. I guess it’s just me being stuck in the past so to speak. After I had sent the email I did think about the ease of which it would be to update my resume that company has now. If I update that one then it would just update for them since I basically sent them a link and allowed them to view it.</p> + +<p>So, my 5 reasons for uploading your resume to Google Drive and I suppose, as mentioned, this only applies if you use Gmail.</p> + +<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>1. Ease of Editability +2. Literally, only one copy is needed +3. "The Cloud" allows for access on any device +4. Importing is easy from inside Gmail +5. Super convenient +</code></pre></div></div> + +<p>Ease of Editability is as I mentioned above just the fact that you can edit the one file and have it update for all possible jobs. So, if you found a mistake when you sent the email you can quickly update it and have it reflected immediately.</p> + +<p>What I mean by “literally, only one copy is needed” is just as it sounds. You only need one copy since it’s online in Google Drive you don’t have to worry about resaving a Word Document as a PDF anymore. Just send the Google Drive Document, or whatever they call it.</p> + +<p>“The Cloud”, which is a word I sort of hate since it simplifies the web a little too much but that’s the buzz word that’s been chosen. Either way “The Cloud” allows for you to view your resume, or any other document, on any device that has the app. So, if you need to show your resume to someone in a pinch just get your phone out and show them.

The main problem with sub4sub is that, yes it gets you tons of subs, but you don’t get actual views and watch time. You also end up with a bunch of subscriptions that you will probably never watch yourself.</p> + +<p>When it comes to getting people to subscribe to your channel you should want them to subscribe because you offer some kind of value to them. That value can come in the form of entertainment, education, or whatever else you might offer. That’s why you should be doing a call-to-action at the end of your videos inviting viewers to subscribe, like, and/or comment. Doing that kind of reminds people that they can do all those things on YouTube.</p> + +<p>It may seem to take a lot longer to grow a channel without sub4sub but if you don’t take part in that sub4sub culture. You will be able to find your niche on YouTube that will allow you to grow your channel. That just simply doesn’t happen with sub4sub because it just gets a bunch of people subscribed that will probably only last at most a month.</p> + +<p>More recently I posted a link to my channel in a blogs comment section which got about 8 subs from. The problem was people commented saying “subbed, now sub back”. Well as you can imagine once I didn’t sub back all 8 unsubbed. That shows that they weren’t actually interested in my content they just wanted to inflate their own sub count.</p> + +<p><img src="/assets/images/sub4sub-graph.png" alt="" /></p> + +<p>All-in-all sub4sub is a pretty terrible way to grow a channel and I’ll leave you with a video on the topic.

Photograph: Greg Lewis/AMC/Sony Pictures Television</p> + +<p>I’ll preface this article by saying that I was inspired to write it after reading a Guardian article on the topic of last night’s episode. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/aug/02/better-call-saul-walter-white-jesse-pinkman-breaking-bad">You can read it here</a>. Also, spoilers ahead so proceed at your own risk.</p> + +<p>So, I just watched the last night’s latest Better Call Saul episode “Breaking Bad” and boy was it something. It had nearly everything I could ask as a fan of both breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. That being said, I’m not going to write this article from the point of a reviewer like the guardian article I linked to but instead from the point of view of simply a fan.</p> + +<p>First thing I loved is small and a personal reason. Which is for the inclusion of Jackie Chat Adventures from Fox Kids Saturday morning lineup. I loved seeing this at the opening of this episode because not only is it about the correct time period but also was part of my childhood. Really hit me in the nostalgia. Somebody even isolated the clip and put it up on YouTube already which you can watch below.</p> + +<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QJB5jmbhphU?si=sDqzXjZe59moyQEY" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> + +<p>Moving on to the rest of the episode. Which was a really fun thing to watch having basically seen this part of the episode only from the perspective of Walt and Jesse. Then Walt and Jesse each pay Saul off to make him their official attorney and seeing the conversation that happened before Saul helped out Badger. That was, I thought, a really great way to tie the two shows even closer into each other as we head full steam ahead into the penultimate episode.</p> + +<p>Then there was the info we found out about Kim which seems like she’s been alive and well in Florida which I was really happy about and so was Jimmy/Saul/Gene. Afterwards Gene decided to go back into crime with Jeff and presumably steal get guys drunk in a bar and steal their identities. Which leads Gene to do something that looks like might land him into some trouble but we’ll find that out next episode.</p> + +<p>That’s really all I feel like I can write about now but overall as I’ve said I loved this episode and will miss Better Call Saul when it’s over.</p> + + </div> + <footer> + <small>© Ben Sanders, 2025</small> + </footer> + <!-- <script src="./index.js"></script> --> + + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/_site/blog/changes-in-2017/index.html b/_site/blog/changes-in-2017/index.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8854576 --- /dev/null +++ b/_site/blog/changes-in-2017/index.html @@ -0,0 +1,55 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html> +<html lang="en"> +<head> + <meta charset="UTF-8"> + <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> + <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> + <meta content="Ben's Corner of the Web" property="og:title"> + <meta content="Ben is a GNU/Linux nerd and these are his links" property="og:description"> + <meta content="https://ben.sanders.life" property="og:url"> + <meta content="https://bsand.net/assets/me.jpeg" property="og:image"> + <meta content="#b172bc" data-react-helmet="true" name="theme-color"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="/main.css"> + <title>Ben's Website</title> +</head> + +<body> + <div id="website-container"> + <ul class="navigation"> + <li><a href="/" title="home">~/</a></li> + <li><a href="/about" title="about me">~/about</a></li> + <li><a href="/resume" title="my resume">~/resume</a></li> + <li><a href="/blog" title="my blog">~/blog</a></li> + <li><a href="/resources" title="resources">~/resources</a></li> + </ul> + + + <h1>Changes in 2017</h1> + <p class="meta">Benjamin Sanders | 22 January 2017 | changes-2017</p> + <p>So this is the first post I made on my site in 2017.

As a result, it led me to a great YouTube channel called Answers in Progress. While watching one of their videos the thought of keeping a notepad of thoughts came up. So, lets dig into that below.</p> + +<p>As another new year starts it’s a time to refocus and find ways to assist in learning and becoming more of a full person. For example, one of the things I want to make a habit again is logging my food intake like I was doing pre-pandemic. In that same vein, and something I took away from watching Answers in Progress, I want to take notes at the end of the day.</p> + +<p>Granted I can’t remember the video in which Sabrina talked about noting your day, but it was in one of the videos I watched on the channel. The more I thought about noting down your day even simple bullet points could help in remembering things like who I spoke with or customers I helped. Sounds like a good way to be able to revisit later for either nostalgic reasons or to simply remember something.</p> + +<p>One other reason I would like to note my day is to help me building my writing and handwriting skills because I think it’s a skill I’ve really been lacking. Hopefully it will also help me in my reading and focus skills because reading through documentation for Python has really highlighted an issue I’ve had with paying attention. I think my mind has even attempted to stray while writing this very paragraph.</p> + +<p>All-in-all I think going into the new year with the plan of keeping basic notes and letting it evolve will help me with content here on my website. I really want to make my 30s not be wasted and make the most out of it so I can look back in 10 years and be proud of what I did during that time.</p> + +<p>What are your plans for 2023?</p> + +<p>Let me know on Mastodon <a href="https://sanders.life/ben">@ben@sanders.life</a>!</p> + +<p>Until next time,</p> + +<p>-Ben</p> + + </div> + <footer> + <small>© Ben Sanders, 2025</small> + </footer> + <!-- <script src="./index.js"></script> --> + + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/_site/blog/down-with-big-tech.html b/_site/blog/down-with-big-tech.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..d7c90e1 --- /dev/null +++ b/_site/blog/down-with-big-tech.html @@ -0,0 +1,49 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html> +<html lang="en"> +<head> + <meta charset="UTF-8"> + <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> + <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> + <meta content="Ben's Corner of the Web" property="og:title"> + <meta content="Ben is a GNU/Linux nerd and these are his links" property="og:description"> + <meta content="https://ben.sanders.life" property="og:url"> + <meta content="https://bsand.net/assets/me.jpeg" property="og:image"> + <meta content="#b172bc" data-react-helmet="true" name="theme-color"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="/main.css"> + <title>Ben's Website</title> +</head> + +<body> + <div id="website-container"> + <ul class="navigation"> + <li><a href="/" title="home">~/</a></li> + <li><a href="/about" title="about me">~/about</a></li> + <li><a href="/resume" title="my resume">~/resume</a></li> + <li><a href="/blog" title="my blog">~/blog</a></li> + <li><a href="/resources" title="resources">~/resources</a></li> + </ul> + + + <h1>Down With Big Tech!</h1> + <p class="meta">Benjamin Sanders | 12 June 2023 | BigTech</p> + <p><img src="/assets/images/https-website-lock.png" alt="Image of a black mouse pointing at a web browser text field that reads https" title="https-website-lock" /></p> + +<p>Back when I started using the internet roughly 20 years ago (I’m 31 now) the internet was a much different place. We had social media in the form of MySpace and had search engines like Yahoo then later Google. Those were all great things. It allowed normal people to have free access to information which is the way information should always have been. While I wasn’t very old at the time I can remember signing up for Gaia Online an MySpace at the time but I also remember in the 2010s reading people’s blogs like Chris Pirillo’s and curating an RSS feed.</p> + +<p>My point in saying all that is that I miss the days of the old, smaller, web and want to go back to that which now feels like a good time to talk about giving trouble at sites like Twitter, Reddit, and Twitch. I feel like we’ve allowed the internet to be taken over by a few big companies when we should instead be controlling it as netizens. That means doing things like using RSS, linking to friends websites, and using hosted email services instead of Gmail.</p> + +<p>I love the power the internet gives us as regular people and if you know how to program or maintain systems the greater power it gives. Things like “I’m a fucking webmaster” speaks to me. To round out this short article I just want to say the web was a simply a lot more fun when it was smaller. If you’d like to join me in keeping the old web alive please feel free to add my RSS feed which can be found here https://ben.sanders.life/feed.xml.</p> + +<p>That is all for now.

Plus I have version control with Git so that if I don’t like changes I made I can revert back.

This decision wasn’t made in light of what happened during the whole GameStop fiasco or because I hate RobinHood. As a matter of fact I was considering getting out of managing my own stock portfolio all together now that I have a 401k.

It was “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. I remember the day I decided to start reading the Harry Potter Series. It was right after I had seen the first film. I guess I wanted to be immersed in the Harry Potter universe even more.</p> + +<p>Ever since those days though I haven’t really read a whole lot other than the occasional blog posts. Which, I suppose, is still reading and you can still get the same benefits as reading a book. I just haven’t taken the time to just sit back, relax, and take a journey with a nice book in a while.</p> + +<p>You see since the start of 2018 I have been thinking about reading more. Well, not just reading more but writing more as well. I am aware that I wrote several posts in 2017. I just want to try to write much longer, more meaningful blog posts. Sort of like short stories but on the web. Carefully crafting a story that would take the reader on an adventure with each and every word.</p> + +<p>I want to try to take my writing to the next level by taking the reader on a journey in their own mind. Sort of the way a good book does when you sit down to read it. Like how you start imagining what that world would be like to live in.</p> + +<p>I’m going to stray a little here to say that I have been trying to find my niche on YouTube. I had recently found the BookTube community which seems to go with what I want to do in terms of reading and writing more. Hell, I might even actually write a novel one day. Wouldn’t that be great?</p> + +<p>So, where is this all going, I hear you ask yourself.</p> + +<p>Well, here in 2018 I would honestly like to read more. Starting with Emma Blackery’s “Feel Good 101”. I don’t like setting a certain number but I’m going to say I’d like to read 20 books in 2018. Mostly books I already own which include: Egghead and The Fault in Our Stars.</p> + +<h2 id="why-read-though">Why Read Though?</h2> + +<p>Some people might say something about how you can get the same relaxation from watching TV or a YouTube video. The problem with that thinking though is that it still requires you to stare at a screen. I love the idea that reading allows you to put away your computer and phone for a small, to large, amount of time.</p> + +<p>While you can read on, say an iPad, you’ve still got the notifications coming through interrupting your reading. I want to read because it’s a way to fully escape the world into a whole different one. Even reading non-fiction books can help you escape. It can conjure up what it must have been like to live in the times that book is talking about.</p> + +<p>I like the way that Paul Stamatiou worded it on his blog.</p> + +<p>“Reading forces you to go one step further and not even let your mind wander a bit. If it does, you’re punished by having to read the paragraph or page over again to understand what’s happening”</p> + +<p>That’s very true I can attest to have been reading a book and my mind started wondering about something else. Then next thing I knew I was lost and didn’t know where I had left off.</p> + +<p>Reading isn’t just about relaxing though it also allows you to see things from a different perspective. If you are set in your beliefs on one thing reading can give you a new perspective on those beliefs. You may or may not change what you personally believe but at least you have a better understanding of someone else’s point-of-view.</p> + +<h2 id="what-to-read">What to read?</h2> + +<p>As I’ve mentioned above I’m starting out with Emma Blackery’s book since that is the most recent book I bought. I do have several books in mind that I have been meaning to read myself. One book is “Steve Jobs” by Walter Isaacson. I will also be keeping an eye on Bill Gate’s, <a href="https://www.gatesnotes.com/">Gatesnotes</a>, blog for ideas on books to read.</p> + +<p>Thankfully, as mentioned previously, I found the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=booktube">BookTube community</a> which led me to make a <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/76373017-ben-sanders">Goodreads account</a>. So, that’s another place I’m sure I’ll find great books to read. Really, there should be no excuse for me not to read 20 books in 2018.</p> + +<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2> + +<p>My final thoughts are that I’m hoping I can actually read 20, or more, books in 2018. I’m sure it will lead to me having a greater knowledge of the world and ultimately help improve my writing. Who knows? Perhaps by November of this year, I will actually participate in NaNoWriMo and have a published novel. :)</p> + + </div> + <footer> + <small>© Ben Sanders, 2025</small> + </footer> + <!-- <script src="./index.js"></script> --> + + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/_site/blog/share-only-what-you-want-out-there.html b/_site/blog/share-only-what-you-want-out-there.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..455ca2a --- /dev/null +++ b/_site/blog/share-only-what-you-want-out-there.html @@ -0,0 +1,51 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html> +<html lang="en"> +<head> + <meta charset="UTF-8"> + <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> + <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> + <meta content="Ben's Corner of the Web" property="og:title"> + <meta content="Ben is a GNU/Linux nerd and these are his links" property="og:description"> + <meta content="https://ben.sanders.life" property="og:url"> + <meta content="https://bsand.net/assets/me.jpeg" property="og:image"> + <meta content="#b172bc" data-react-helmet="true" name="theme-color"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="/main.css"> + <title>Ben's Website</title> +</head> + +<body> + <div id="website-container"> + <ul class="navigation"> + <li><a href="/" title="home">~/</a></li> + <li><a href="/about" title="about me">~/about</a></li> + <li><a href="/resume" title="my resume">~/resume</a></li> + <li><a href="/blog" title="my blog">~/blog</a></li> + <li><a href="/resources" title="resources">~/resources</a></li> + </ul> + + + <h1>Share Only What You Want Out There</h1> + <p class="meta">Benjamin Sanders | 22 March 2018 | Cambridge-Analytics,privacy</p> + <p><img src="/assets/images/AdobeStock_Privacy_Small.jpeg" alt="" /></p> + +<p>Since I graduated back in 2011 I suppose I was one of the last group of high-schoolers to know what life was like before the proliferation of social media. One thing you have to keep in mind when sharing on the internet, let alone social media, is that once you put it out there. You have to assume it will always be there even if you ‘delete’ it.</p> + +<p>For example, at one point when I was going to school for web design and development, I was looking into building a social network. Granted it was mostly to practice coding but I was still interested in building one. I did some research on how other social media websites handled things like ‘deleting’ images and posts. One thing I found out was that it doesn’t actually ‘delete’ it just sort of hides it.</p> + +<p>I’m sure that it eventually does get deleted and is gone but by the time you hit the delete button. You never know who has downloaded it and possibly shared it somewhere else. Which is the point of this article is to say that if you want to share something think it through first.</p> + +<p>To tie up this article with a nice bow, I will say that the whole Facebook/Cambridge Analytica thing made me want to write this article. From a programmer/web developer perspective, I see the issue being caused both by Facebook and the users being careless. The users that got their information leaked because they used Facebook to login to random apps for quizzes. Facebook for not doing more to protect that data.</p> + +<p>Moral of the story is just be more careful what you share online. If you do share more personal information online don’t use Facebook to login to those personality quizzes.</p> + +<p>Thanks for reading and stay safe out there. :)</p> + + </div> + <footer> + <small>© Ben Sanders, 2025</small> + </footer> + <!-- <script src="./index.js"></script> --> + + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/_site/blog/starting-ccna-study.html b/_site/blog/starting-ccna-study.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..57e70d4 --- /dev/null +++ b/_site/blog/starting-ccna-study.html @@ -0,0 +1,55 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html> +<html lang="en"> +<head> + <meta charset="UTF-8"> + <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> + <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> + <meta content="Ben's Corner of the Web" property="og:title"> + <meta content="Ben is a GNU/Linux nerd and these are his links" property="og:description"> + <meta content="https://ben.sanders.life" property="og:url"> + <meta content="https://bsand.net/assets/me.jpeg" property="og:image"> + <meta content="#b172bc" data-react-helmet="true" name="theme-color"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="/main.css"> + <title>Ben's Website</title> +</head> + +<body> + <div id="website-container"> + <ul class="navigation"> + <li><a href="/" title="home">~/</a></li> + <li><a href="/about" title="about me">~/about</a></li> + <li><a href="/resume" title="my resume">~/resume</a></li> + <li><a href="/blog" title="my blog">~/blog</a></li> + <li><a href="/resources" title="resources">~/resources</a></li> + </ul> + + + <h1>Starting CCNA Study</h1> + <p class="meta">Benjamin Sanders | 09 July 2022 | CCNA,WGU,Computer,Networking</p> + <p>Over the past few months I’ve been working towards my Bachelor of Science, Network Operations and Security degree at WGU.

Which then prompted me to go and actually watch the film. I have not really been a fan of the men’s rights movement or the feminist movement for that matter. I sure as hell don’t like the movement called MGTOW. However, the film did give me a nice, fresh, view on the situation.</p> + +<p>You see both sides do make valid points. I understand that with anything there is always going to be a radical sub-group. For example, the MGTOW which stands for Men Going Their Own Way. Which to me sounds like men who don’t even want to try and solve the problems between the genders. Like they are too scared to solve the problems and instead hang a “No Girls Allowed” sign up in protest.</p> + +<p>The film does show off both the best and the worst of each movement. The film touched on the fact that men do get the worst end of the stick in family court. While at the same time also stating, from someone from the feminist camp, that you should talk to the other person before engaging in sex.</p> + +<p>Which you should fully discuss with the person, that you are about to have intimate time with, what might happen if a pregnancy occurs. If two people of the opposite gender have sex they should honestly have discussed that fact. Since having sex, even when using protection, has a very real possibly of producing offspring.</p> + +<p>The Red Pill highlights the fact that both genders do have problems with abuse towards them. That sexual or verbal abuse can happen to someone regardless of gender. Each time it showed stats though it showed it affects more women.</p> + +<p>The thing is though that doesn’t make Men any less valuable or needing help. It also doesn’t mean women are any less the victims of these tragic abuse stories. All it means is that we should keep all this in mind when we hear about abuse stories regardless of gender. If a guy comes forward and says he’s been abused by a female then he should have his voice heard. Just like we should listen to women if the same thing happens to them.</p> + +<p>I think that to solve some of these issues and get rid of some of the tensions between the genders we just need to communicate more. Maybe make a woman prove the person she claims is the father is the father before applying for welfare.</p> + +<p>It’s difficult to discuss these sorts of issues because both sides make good, or least half decent, arguments. As both genders can’t possibly imagine what life is like in the other’s shoes, so to speak. We can’t possibly fully understand how to actually solve these problems.</p> + +<p>Anyway, those are some of my thoughts, I hope I brought something new to the table. Let me know what you think there in the comments below. I look forward to hearing from everyone. I tend to try to stay as centrist as I can on most issues.

When I first heard about the parent company, Fotolia, being bought by Adobe I figured something would eventually happen that Adobe would close them down. I maybe didn’t think they would close them down but perhaps brand it to be more Adobe. I especially figured that once they announced Adobe Stock that maybe Dollar Photo Club’s days were numbered but I just kind of put that out of my mind. Until a couple of days ago when it was announced that Dollar Photo Club would be shutting down April 15th 2016.</p> + +<p>So my thoughts on the whole service shutting down are that it’s a sad day to see any website or service shut down but I fully understand why Adobe made the move. Even though it may seem that Adobe is shutting down its competition and raising the price, and maybe they are. It did feel nice to have gotten into Dollar Photo Club before Adobe bought them because they had stopped sign ups. It felt kind of like I was part of, well, a club. I loved the fact that I could pay $10 a month and just let it accrue over years and be able to download images that I had full legal rights to use. With Adobe Stock I can do the same thing and love that it’s built into Adobe apps but now after the first year I will have to pay 3 times as much for the same service.</p> + +<p>Now Adobe Stock does offer videos as well but I saw where it would cost me $80 to license a video which means that I can’t just go out and get stock video. I would need to spend extra money if I want test video. I mean I might as well go out and record my own videos if I need a stock video or something.</p> + +<p>So my final thoughts on the service are that I’ll give it a year and if I don’t use it enough to justify the $30 a month for Adobe Stock then I’ll cancel. If I could ask something from Adobe I would ask that maybe figure out a way to include stock video at a lower price for video maybe. That would be nice. I don’t know though maybe another $1 stock image service will come up in the future and give Adobe Stock competition. We’ll just have to wait and see.</p> + + </div> + <footer> + <small>© Ben Sanders, 2025</small> + </footer> + <!-- <script src="./index.js"></script> --> + + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/_site/blog/thoughts-on-pokemon-sun-and-pokemon-moon/index.html b/_site/blog/thoughts-on-pokemon-sun-and-pokemon-moon/index.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..37a3d2c --- /dev/null +++ b/_site/blog/thoughts-on-pokemon-sun-and-pokemon-moon/index.html @@ -0,0 +1,47 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html> +<html lang="en"> +<head> + <meta charset="UTF-8"> + <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> + <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> + <meta content="Ben's Corner of the Web" property="og:title"> + <meta content="Ben is a GNU/Linux nerd and these are his links" property="og:description"> + <meta content="https://ben.sanders.life" property="og:url"> + <meta content="https://bsand.net/assets/me.jpeg" property="og:image"> + <meta content="#b172bc" data-react-helmet="true" name="theme-color"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="/main.css"> + <title>Ben's Website</title> +</head> + +<body> + <div id="website-container"> + <ul class="navigation"> + <li><a href="/" title="home">~/</a></li> + <li><a href="/about" title="about me">~/about</a></li> + <li><a href="/resume" title="my resume">~/resume</a></li> + <li><a href="/blog" title="my blog">~/blog</a></li> + <li><a href="/resources" title="resources">~/resources</a></li> + </ul> + + + <h1>Thoughts on: Pokemon Sun & Moon New Trailer</h1> + <p class="meta">Benjamin Sanders | 02 June 2016 | pokemon sun, pokemon moon</p> + <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XW14HO7C1Dg?si=CGst8qyXA9Q2FAi2" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> + +<p>So another Pokemon Sun & Pokemon Moon trailer just dropped a load more information. We finally can see what appears to be the whole of the new region. We can see what the pokedex will look like as well as the new professor.</p> + +<p>The new professor, Professor Kukui, has a mystery assistent Lillie. Which we’ll just have to wait until the game comes out or more information is leaked/released. As far as the legendary pokemon goes though we’ve got both Solgaleo and Lunala that we now know the names of as well as their typing and at least one move. Solgaleo has the type of Psychic/Steel which is a surprise seeing that everyone thought it would be at least part fire type being Sun related. Lunala though on the other hand is Psychic/Ghost which makes sense for him seeing as he’s Moon related.</p> + +<p>Alola is the region and as pointed out by someone on skype if you were to go to the Sun dial in anistar city you can see 4 islands behind it. So does that mean Pokemon has been hinting towards these new games for a while now? Who knows other then Gamefreak and The Pokemon Company.</p> + +<p><img src="/assets/images/alolabig.jpeg" alt="" /></p> + + </div> + <footer> + <small>© Ben Sanders, 2025</small> + </footer> + <!-- <script src="./index.js"></script> --> + + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/_site/blog/using-font-awesome-in-2017/index.html b/_site/blog/using-font-awesome-in-2017/index.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..206b587 --- /dev/null +++ b/_site/blog/using-font-awesome-in-2017/index.html @@ -0,0 +1,56 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html> +<html lang="en"> +<head> + <meta charset="UTF-8"> + <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> + <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> + <meta content="Ben's Corner of the Web" property="og:title"> + <meta content="Ben is a GNU/Linux nerd and these are his links" property="og:description"> + <meta content="https://ben.sanders.life" property="og:url"> + <meta content="https://bsand.net/assets/me.jpeg" property="og:image"> + <meta content="#b172bc" data-react-helmet="true" name="theme-color"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="/main.css"> + <title>Ben's Website</title> +</head> + +<body> + <div id="website-container"> + <ul class="navigation"> + <li><a href="/" title="home">~/</a></li> + <li><a href="/about" title="about me">~/about</a></li> + <li><a href="/resume" title="my resume">~/resume</a></li> + <li><a href="/blog" title="my blog">~/blog</a></li> + <li><a href="/resources" title="resources">~/resources</a></li> + </ul> + + + <h1>Using Font Awesome In 2017</h1> + <p class="meta">Benjamin Sanders | 14 July 2017 | font-awesome</p> + <p><img src="/assets/images/font-awesome-post-image.png" alt="" /></p> + +<p>It has come to my attention that I should move into the new age so to speak of web development.

I will preface this by saying whoever is elected I will gladly call my president even if they are not the man or the woman I voted for because that is what America is all about. I will, however, say that this is the election that we as the American people have the greatest chance to change how our politics are played out. We for the first time in decades can actually work more towards a 3 or more party system and buck the establishment.</p> + +<p>On the one hand, we have a guy like Donald J. Trump who is bent on showing that he is always right no matter what. He will flat out lie even when faced with the truth. On the other hand, we have Hillary Clinton who literally wants a war with Russia by controlling air space in Syria. There is another option in Gary Johnson who, while may not 100% perfect, but he at least understands that the country needs people to live with their own decisions. He has shown that he knows how to govern by leaving his state of New Mexico with a surplus and using his governor veto power to it’s fullest. Also since he’s not part of the two major parties and takes money from the people voting for him he’s actually beholden to the people.</p> + +<p>So to answer the question in case it wasn’t already answered I will be voting for Gary Johnson because I agree more with the fiscally conservative side of him.

However, this one finally worked or at least is working for now. I mean we never know what could happen tomorrow but either way, I am loving the freedom the job provides.</p> + +<p>It’s not easy money either, you still have to work for it. How it works is you claim projects, type out exactly what you hear the best you can and submit them. Most of the time the audio can be a bit tricky to hear but I think that’s the most rewarding part of it. I mean, imagine this, you are working on some audio and you finally are able to make out something. Would you feel a sense of satisfaction from that?</p> + +<p>I am of course talking about working with Rev, the transcription company. Which so far has been a great work-from-home opportunity. As mentioned above it is not easy money but I can pick when and where I want to work. There is no set schedule and I get to work whenever I need money really.</p> + +<p>There are a lot of ways to make money online though nowadays. You can set up an Etsy shop, you can sell your illustrations or maybe stream and people can donate to you. Though that last one is maybe more related if you have an already established brand and people feel they know you.</p> + +<p>Working from home is essentially you running your own business. So, if you treat it like you’re a business owner that you are then find something that you love doing.</p> + +<p>I would say the best way to make money online is to find something you would do for free and charge for it. The idea being that if it’s something you’d be doing for free you are probably good at it. At least good enough to garner some sort of eyeballs on it.</p> + +<p>All this being said to leave off this post I would like to say I am planning on starting a podcast.

Whatever your reasons for writing you will at some point come up with blocks in the writing process that will prevent you from writing. Now you can sit down at a computer with a simple notepad open and just jot down ideas to write about. Perhaps jotting down the ideas and writing short simple sentences for those ideas can help flesh it out into a long blog post.

Well, maybe, besides just having a blog. I will say though that I found one YouTuber that kind of made me want to do some more writing. That YouTuber is Nika Harper. I first heard of her from a Co-optional podcast and glad I did. It made me see that maybe I can use Wordpress to share stories and experiences. The first video of hers I watched is just below.
