Taking down robbinespu.gitlab.io and robbinespu.github.io

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 04:07:07 +0800

Today, I decided to unpublish my old blog websites, robbinespu.gitlab.io and robbinespu.github.io, from public access.

I transitioned from GitHub Pages to GitLab Pages and started using my own domain about 2–3 years ago. The CI/CD scripts to build the old pages are still functional, and the repositories still exist (in private git). I’ve only disabled them from being publicly published.

Why? I’ve noticed that search engines are focusing more on indexing and crawling my old website. Although I added a notice on the old pages informing visitors that I migrated to a new domain 2–3 years ago, the traffic hasn’t shifted much. Most of my visitors are organic and likely just interested in the content.

I just noticed that the webmention.app website is serving and running using a JavaScript package, and it’s open source. You can find the source code on GitHub by Remy. This means that even if the webmention.app host is down, you can still use the service by hosting it yourself or using the CLI.

Hosting the service was never an option for me, so I decided to use the CLI to replace my current GitHub action jobs. Here’s the modified workflow:

Mirror :

webmention are now 80% implemented

Thu, 08 Dec 2022 12:41:00 +0000

It has been around two weeks since I started to develop my own HUGO theme and seem like everything goes really smooth.

As you know, I really love and excited about webmention features. So I have been focusing on this stuff to make sure the HTML are parse correctly when I received or sending webmention.

Thanks to webmention.io and php.microformats.io that help me a lot to getting this SSG (Static Site Generator) to have relation functionality like dynamic website but yes, of cause there still lot of limit, but to me this is good enough.

Test bookmark!

Hello world | Hello dunia!

Assalamualaikum dan salam buat semua!

Agak lama dah tak menulis posting baru kat weblog. Semua gara-gara broken API, hugo templating syntax changes dan lain-lain yang menyebabkan aku dah tak boleh generate post baru kat robbinespu.gitlab.io.

So aku setup balik semua dan buat come-back guna domain sendiri serta theme-hugo yang aku create from scratch dengan menggunakan bulma-CSS je sebab ringan dan UI yang simple, kemas dan mudah nak guna.

Theme ni support webmention juga, tapi belum fully setup. So far dah boleh auth, send dan received. Tengah fikir macam-mana nak display balik data-data indieweb nih

My name and the story behind it

Fri, 06 Aug 2021 21:41:25 +0800

My name is Robbi Nespu and if you don’t already know me, then you are probably trying to pronounce my weird name. It actually a combination of two Arabic words (I am muslim).

The first part; Robbi (رب) means God and lastly the second part; Nespu (نصف) an ancient Malays spelling for Nisfu (نيسفو) which means Half. Now if you translate it directly, my name have meaning something like “Half God”.

Changelog / History

Version 1.0 - 1.2 (Blogger, Drupal and WP)

Look at that! This is my first design for my personal blog. I just use blogger platform + blogspot domain at this time, thus theme a self redesign based on existing basic theme from a blog (I forgot her name, but she are undergrad from UTeM that time).

The reason, I start write a blog is because my lecturer Profesor Madya Dr Hj Mohd Sazali (allahyarham), encourage everyone to wrote. He said it okey if you can’t publish paper or book, but you can write a blog. Make it something useful as amal jariah (benefaction) to everyone who read it.

Moving out from Jekyll to Hugo

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 12:30:47 +0800

Peace be upon you and hi everyone!

Is there anybody out there? Nod if you can hear me :)

Now I moving out from Jekyll to Hugo static web generator. I been using Jekyll since 2017 which is longer then I expected. The reason why I love static website is I don’t need to much backend stuff running and keep patching vulnerability updating dependency too much. Static HTMl, CSS and JS is safer and easier for me to maintain and can be deployed anywhere I want without hassel.

How to get along

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 00:05:00 +0000

Adapted from Ann Landers, ‘How To Get Along With People’

Say little. When you do, make it count.

Promise rarely and always keep them.

Deliver praise whenever possible, and criticism when helpful.

Be interested in others.

Don’t share your minor unhappinesses.

Keep an open mind.

Don’t discuss your own virtues or others’ vices.

Be gentle with others’ feelings.

Live so that nobody will believe negative rumors about you.

Don’t worry about getting credit.

Working motivation

Tue, 03 Dec 2019 16:22:44 +0800

Let’s talk about work, so what is WORK really mean for we all? 😎

Every person on earth have work to do. I not talking just about jobs, don’t be confuse. No matter who you are either as office boy or CEO or student or mother or anything else, work has a really important role in anyone’s life. Do you agree with me?

There is some things that really help us do our work nicely.

Be early or arrive on time. Don’t be late without giving a heads up to the other party.
Think logically and what sequences will happen to you and others before making any decision.
Keep the communication lines open and keep it confidential. Be Honest with everyone.
If you are facing a difficulty just admit it, don’t let your ego come in between.
There are always things that could be difficult, persistent hard work is the only way to crack them.
Don’t fall victim of easy goals, work with full passion on whatever you have decided.
Don’t think much about other things, just concentrate on your work.

Most important things:

No work is too small, everything teaches you something new.
Life is too short to waste on useless arguments.
Keep your mouth shut when you don’t have something useful to contribute.
Read books, expend your mind and improve your skills.
Challenge your limits. Don’t limit your challenge.
Read well, write well.
Exercise, eat healty food and rest.
Action speak louder then words!

Are you satisfied with the life you are living right now, or do you think that you deserve more?

Moved from Github to Gitlab

First of all, I decide to use Gitlab as my platform now. Previously, I using Github pages to host my previous blog ¹, my previous articles are still there. I start a fresh and new blog here on Gitlab.

If you ask me why I choose Gitlab, my answer is Gitlab offer lot of feature compare to Github.

Busy with real life

I kinda busy with my real life right now. Most of my free time are spent for family and because of my nature of work, I need to travel overseas during project commissioning or ramp-up support. Plus, I spend more time on developing and testing my project.
