Sigh...

So Summernote just doesn't want to work in this blog, because of the way the blog is constructed. I spent hours looking at the site's code trying different things, and while I can get Summernote to work in the admin pages, I can't get it to work on the publicly-facing blog post form. Making my posts via admin doesn't really work either because Django "escapes" all the text I type in when it publishes the blog post, which means that any image or HTML tags I use in the text are rendered literally. So making H1 tags, for example, comes out in the published blog post as <h1>Here's some text</h1> literally, instead of being parsed as an HTML tag. I haven't given up on this completely, but I'm moving on to other things rather than waste a bunch more time trying to figure things out. I dug out my "Django for Beginners" book last night and brought it with me to work, so I'm going to start working my way through that instead. I've been through this book once before, but it was a few years ago so I hope this will be a good refresher for me. I also grabbed one of my CCNA notebooks on the way out the door this morning. I could use a refresher on that material too, so I'll spend a little bit of time reading through that today. I still have 4 Cisco switches and 3 Cisco routers racked in my cabinet, and in the future I'm planning on using Ansible to manage them so a fresh look at Cisco commands and stuff is definitely needed. I'm not planning on using this gear for anything other than learning how it all works. Ansible is written in Python, so I think I'll be able to understand it, and it would be a good bullet point on my resume to say I have Ansible experience. Not much happening at work today (so far). I am fortunate to have an employer who allows us to work on our own projects while we're on the clock, otherwise I wouldn't have made it anywhere near this far.
