Welcome! It's currently 1:54am and I decided to make myself a blog after going through an old laptop, updating it and realising - gee, there's only 8gb of RAM in this thing. I'm curious if I can upgrade its RAM to atleast 20gb?? I looked up the model (UX303UA) and found this https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/lud3r3/asus_zenbook_ux303ua_memory_can_be_upgraded/. Turns out someone already looked into this and posted in reddit. But I was like, where the heck are the instructions? The image is a goddamn link to the dudes blog site: https://rux.vc/2020.02/asus-zenbook-ux303ua-ram-upgrade/ Amazing, sugoi, im gob smacked.

Ok not really

I've seen many personal blogs, there's a few colleagues of mine who have had setup their own blog - almost like a public diary for keeping notes or anything they've found interesting throughout their lives working or just random stuff they think are interesting. So why not?! Imma create my own blog, I went ahead and looked up cheap domains and found https://namecheap.com. My handle on most things is kliixz so the closest domain name I could find was klii.xyz. Wonderful! But wait, I need a way to host. Again google sent me to a reddit post and then I found https://vercel.com - sick, and they have a bunch of templates. Excellent.

I clicked all the buttons, authorised a heap of shite, and voila, got myself a blog starter repo, linked to github and with a click of another button, deployed to a randomly generated site name: https://blog-starter-kit-iota-six.vercel.app/. Now that that's done, we need to setup DNS so that my newly purchased domain name will point to the vercel app I just created. I added the vercel provided A name record to my namecheap DNS settings AND... nothing yet. May take some time, so I guess I'll pop that in my next blog.

Kind regards,
