Programming With Chronic Pain
If you know me personally you’ll know that I’ve dealt with chronic pain for years. Mainly, I’ve had issues with my shoulders, arms and wrists/hands. Despite a myriad of medical appointments, physios, scans, etc. it persists. Unlike many, I’ve been lucky to at least get what appears to be an accurate diagnosis in my case (multi-lateral shoulder instability, bursitis and a history of tennis elbow), but the road to recovery is a slow one. Over the years I’ve tried the whole range of solutions to alleviate the pain with most having minimal impact, but a few things have made a notable impact that I’d like to share with you.

Deploying a Hugo Blog to Cloudflare Pages
As I wrote about in my previous post I’ve recently built my blog in Hugo. This post details how to deploy a Hugo blog to Cloudflare Pages, using my own site as an example. I will be assuming that you’re using Github, but this should also work the same for other supported Git providers.
Building a Blog With Hugo (My Experience)
Over time I’ve found myself collecting random thoughts in short writeups on my phone notes, so I decided to cobble them together in a blog to throw online. This lined up pretty well with that regular urge to start a side-project that I know I’ll never finish, so I decided to build a blog with Hugo. This post covers the process of creating the site and the decisions made along the way.
