I recently abandoned WordPress (again) for Hugo CMS on Dreamhost. This is the simplest and cheapest solution I’ve found for deploying Hugo CMS based sites on a reliable and affordable host. I’ve been a user of Dreamhost for over 15 years and here’s how I hyperscale Hugo CMS based niche websites and Dreamhost for profit. **Disclosure:** Some of the links I'm this article are affiliate links and at no additional cost to you, I’ll earn a commission.

Building a Hugo CMS based site It can’t be any simpler than installing Hugo on your local machine and then writing content. I’m not going to go over the installation and usage of Hugo, for that you can visit the Hugo installation documentation. ...

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been a user of Dreamhost.com for over 15 years. It’s where I hosted my old blogs and registered my domains. I started with a basic hosting in the early days and switched over to a virtual private server (VPS) a few years ago because I need to run Cron jobs. **Disclosure:** Some of the links below are affiliate links and at no additional cost to you, I’ll earn a commission.

Dreamhost has been good to me. They have great customer support and nice one-click installs for things like Wordpress and MySQL databases. You can run Python or Ruby on a VPS as well as a whole bunch of other technologies. ...

Two years ago we moved to a new house in a very active social community. We were going to dinner parties at least once a month and my wife would usually bring a small dish and I would bring wine. This has been a lot of fun for everyone but I always hated running out to the store to get one or two bottles of wine. My new gig keeps me very busy and on the road, so the last thing I want to do run around looking for a good wine. So, I decided to join a monthly wine club. ...

I do a lot of traveling for work these days. I’m on a plane at least 5 times a month and have long stay overs at least once a month. I’m not complaining because this allows me to rack up those airline miles and other points as I work. I have to use my credit card because I don’t have an expense account, so I make sure to use the best credit cards for me to get airline miles and hotel points. I wanted to share with you two credit cards that I use mainly for work. ...

I’ve been traveling a lot lately and managed to catch up on a bit of reading when I’m crusing at 30,000 feet. On my nook right now is a fascinating book that all text miners should at least browse in a book store. It’s called “The Secret Life of Pronouns,” by James Pennebaker. The premise of the book is that your social status, sex, personality, and secret intentions can be determined by analyzing pronouns (I, you, they), artciles (a, an, the), and few other functional words. In the beginning of his research, James used the Liguisitic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) program but appears to have modified it with proprietary word dictionaries. ...

I finished reading Gene Callahan’s, Economics for Real People, a while ago but never had the chance to write a blog post about it. I can sum up the book in three words, I loved it! ...

Since this blog is about using neural nets and AI, its only appropriate that I post about an awesome audio book I’m currently listening too. I like supplement my voracious appetite for books with audio books on occasion and have more space devoted to audio books on my 4 gig nano than I do with music. The current book I’m listening too, “Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain” by Sharon Begely is utterly fascinating. It’s not a how to book, rather its about current discoveries in field of neuroscience and discussions with the Dalai Lama about it. ...
