  • Oh Ghost, you are full of joys and sadness

    Ah where do I begin with this post.
    Right, so I have been using the 1.0 version of Ghost since it launched using the ghost-cli tool that they provide to ‘provision’ the blogs themselves.

    I have managed to install 4 blogs, padraig.blog, wrestling.irish, gaming.irish and technology.irish. All well and good!
    And 2 of them as of tonight are breaking because if I have my /home/web folder set to CHMOD 700, nothing updates and breaks the sites.

    So, now I am forced to run ghost run inside a tmux session just to get the sites live.
    This is not ideal and I should not be spending half of my nights fixing something that should be easily working.

    Did you contact Ghost support or ask someone about it?
    Of course I did! I submitted a ticket to the ghost-cli team nearly 48 hours ago and they have not responded to me yet.
    Their official #help channel on Slack appear to be ignoring me…

    There is a ticket with a very similar issue and the solution for him is to reinstall…I can’t really afford to do that!
    I need these sites at a state where I can easily blog and then when it comes time, update them without they hitting the wall.

    For those that are interested, here is the error that I am getting when I go to ghost ls or ghost start on a couple of my blog.

    I just wish someone would assist me in getting this sorted…..

    Lyrics:

    Life
    Mysterious life
    Where we’re moving around, dancing the rhythm of life.

    Time
    Mysterious time
    Where we’re counting the hours and days to the end of our time.

    And we’re feeling the change and we don’t know why
    Choose one direction just one more time
    Don’t say I’m thinking too much if you see what’s behind.

    [Chorus]
    And these are Mysterious Times
    Mysterious Times
    No trick of the mind
    For this moment I feel like we live in Mysterious Times.
    If you see what’s behind, these are Mysterious Times.

    Soul
    I feel my soul
    For this moment nobody can stop me from flying so high.

    Real
    Nothing is real
    In a world of illusion you only see what you feel.

    And we’re feeling the change and we don’t know why
    Choose one direction just one more time
    Don’t say I’m thinking too much if you see what’s behind.

    [Chorus]
    If you see what’s behind, these are Mysterious Times.

  • [The JukeBox] #51 – Corona – Rhythm Of The Night

    Welcome back to The JukeBox. The blogging series where I take a look at some of my favourite songs in this beautiful world.

    Today, we take a trip back to 1993 with Corona’s Rhythm of the Night!

    Lyrics:

    This is the rhythm of the night
    The night
    Oh yeah
    The rhythm of the night
    This is the rhythm of my life
    My life
    Oh yeah
    The rhythm of my life

    You could put some joy upon my face
    Oh, sunshine in an empty place
    Take me to turn to and babe I’ll make you stay

    Oh, I can ease you of your pain
    Feel you give me love again
    Round and round we go, each time I hear you say

    This is the rhythm of the night
    The night
    Oh yeah
    The rhythm of the night

    This is the rhythm of my life
    My life
    Oh yeah
    The rhythm of my life

    Won’t you teach me how to love learn
    There’ll be nothing left for me to yearn
    Think of me burn and let me hold your hand

    I don’t wanna face the world in tears
    Please think again I’m on my knees
    Sing that song to me
    No reason to repent

    I know you wanna say it

    This is the rhythm of the night
    The night
    Oh yeah
    The rhythm of the night

    This is the rhythm of my life
    My life
    Oh yeah
    The rhythm of my life

    This is the rhythm of the night
    The night
    Oh yeah
    The rhythm of the night

    This is the rhythm of my life
    My life
    Oh yeah
    The rhythm of my life

    This is the rhythm of the night
    Oh oh oh
    This is the rhythm of the night
    Oh oh oh
    Rhythm of the night
    This is the rhythm of the night

    This is the rhythm of the night
    The night
    Oh yeah
    The rhythm of the night

    This is the rhythm of my life
    My life
    Oh yeah
    The rhythm of my life

    This is the rhythm of the night
    The night
    Oh yeah
    The rhythm of the night

    This is the rhythm of my life
    My life
    Oh yeah
    The rhythm of my life
    This is the rhythm of the night

  • Padraig.Blog V1.0

    Today, along with the release of Ghost 1.0, I have decided to updated the blog with the brand new Ghost 1.0 theme and modified it so that it will show a new random image daily from Unsplash

    How? Here’s how!

    In your new Ghost install, navigate to content/themes/casper/ and open index.hbs

    On, Line 6, replace:

    <header class="site-header outer {{#if @blog.cover_image}}" style="background-image: url({{@blog.cover_image}}){{else}}no-cover{{/if}}">

    with

    <header class="site-header outer {{#if @blog.cover_image}}" style="background-image: url(https://source.unsplash.com/daily){{else}}no-cover{{/if}}">

    Save, and restart ghost by going back to the root of your Ghost install and invoke:
    ghost restart

    Anyway, new content coming soon (As soon as I can get over this damn cold that I have had for about a week now!)
