### Welcome to Marcus Web About Page
-Welcome to the about me or introduction page for **Marcus Wilson**. Everything asks for your website these days, and I'm not good at regularly updating things. This page should give a good snapshot of who I am and what I'm into for at least a few years. My big interests are GNU/Linux, Open Source Software, electronic music, and motorcycles. For many years I was very into local stand-up comedy. Like many in Austin, Texas I work for a large tech company doing mostly DevOps kind of work. One of my favorite hobbies is going to Linux centric or Free Software themed conferences and events. My favorites are Libre Planet, HOPE, FOSSY, and SeaGL. Also excited for the return of Texas Linux fest. I'll probably go to that one next year.

Sometimes I feel like the loneliest, saddest comptuer science person out there and then I think about this quote.
> I actually started off majoring in computer science, but I knew right away I wasn't going to stay with it. It was because I had this one professor who was the loneliest, saddest man I've ever known. He was a programmer, and I knew that I didn't want to do whatever he did.

+This is the first post of the new blog on SDF. I have successfully updated my config and modified things to my liking for now.
+
+The main changes are adding a Socials section in the right sidebar. This required creating a new partial with a loop over a new configuration array.
+Also the main index content was updated to use the markdownify command so that it would render in a more pleasant way.
+
+To get this to work the way I want it to gotta fix up the layout for posts too so that the posts page shows the sidebar and some other
+info.
+
+I'm so sleepy will move to the proper mnw.sdf.org instead of under /blog tomorrow I think.
+
+Until then!
