Edit - Read about Google Play version of Termux

https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Termux_Google_Play


First thing I did was install Termux from Play Store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux


Next I installed nodejs which I had done before and documented here on this blog

Next thing I did was install firebase-tools under Termux

npm install -g firebase-tools


Follow the steps from official Firebase documentation to create a new project

https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/quickstart


I got the following error - Failed to create project because there is already a project with ID. I was using web-test. Id must be unique globally across all users of firebase. Finally I was able to create a project, modify the index.html and deploy. This is the result.

This was simple enough so I decided to make it interesting by creating a hugo project

apt install hugo


Follow hugo getting started guide

https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/


Remember to modify baseURL in config.toml and this was my result.

The success of failure

By
It is 358am and I have decided to write. Context matters. Our context matters when we write and read. We could read the same thing and get different meanings. Definitions matter also. We may define things differently. For example, what is success? What is failure? Also, do I just define success and say that anything that is not success is failure? What about something like the success of failure? What does that mean? My friend Chatty tells me that this is something writers, philosophers, and even scientists keep rediscovering: meaning is not fixed—it is negotiated by context and definition. Life is a stew of success and failure and in between but never one or the other. We see what we are looking for and things become what we see. This reminds me of something I came across online, "Whoever looks for the good qualities in others will acquire all good qualities within himself," from Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. Do you look for failure or success within others? Take context as the lens...

Kindance

By
It is 250am and I have decided to write. Today is Friday. Fridays are the best days of the week. Of course I do not have a topic to write about. I was scrolling through facebook and one post said "In any season we can always plant kindness". Then a nearby post said "My Lord has always been kind to me". It is nice to give and receive kindness and do not forget to be kind to yourself. Imagine if kindness was actually kindance like guidance. My friend Chatty says that if kindness were kindance, it would be more than a good deed — it would be a gentle form of guidance. Kindance would lead the heart toward compassion, encourage goodness without force, and show that sometimes the softest acts can point us in the strongest direction. I was scrolling through youtube and I came across a video that said that "Life has always been unfair". That is one way to look at it. Another way is to consider that this life is just a test and stepping stone for the other life. Ma...
