-the *Advanced Encryption Standard*. This specification was established
-by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, sub-selected from
-the Rijndael family of ciphers (128, 192, and 256 bits) in 2001.
-Furthering its popularity and status, the US government chose AES as
-their default encryption method for top-secret data, removing the
-previous standard which had been in place since 1977.

 * How Secure is AES?

-combinations that can be produced. However, AES-128 is no longer
-recommended as a viable implementation to protect important data.
-
-A semi-short
-[[http://www.moserware.com/2009/09/stick-figure-guide-to-advanced.html][comic
-strip]] from Moserware quickly explains AES for the public to
-understand. Basically AES encrypts the data by obscuring the
-relationship between the data and the encrypted data. Additionally, this
-method spreads the message out. Lastly, the key produced by AES is the
-secret to decrypting it. Someone may know the method of AES, but without
-the key, they are powerless.
-
-To obscure and spread the data out, AES creates a
-substitution-permutation network. Wikipedia has a wonderful
-[[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cd/SubstitutionPermutationNetwork2.png/468px-SubstitutionPermutationNetwork2.png][example
-of an SP network]] available. This network sends the data through a set
-of S boxes (using the unique key) to substitute the bits with another
-block of bits. Then, a P box will permutate, or rearrange, the bits.
-This is done over and over, with the key being derived from the last
-round. For AES, the key size specifies the number of transformation

 * The Process
 
-1. *KeyExpansion*: Using
-   [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard][Rijndael's
-   key schedule]], the keys are dynamically generated.
-2. *AddRoundKey*: Each byte of the data is combined with this key using
-   bitwise xor.
-3. *SubBytes*: This is followed by the substitution of each byte of
-   data.
-4. *ShiftRows*: Then, the final three rows are shifted a certain number
-   of steps, dictated by the cipher.
-5. *MixColumns*: After the rows have been shifted, the columns are mixed
-   and combined.
-
-This process does not necessarily stop after one full round. Steps 2
-through 5 will repeat for the number of rounds specified by the key.
-However, the final round excludes the MixColumns step. As you can see,
-this is a fairly complex process. One must have a solid understanding of
-general mathematic principles to fully understand how the sequence works
-(and to even attempt to find a weakness).
-
-According to research done by Bogdanov et al., it would take billions of
-years to brute force a 126-bit key with current hardware. Additionally,
-this brute force attack would require storing 2^{88} bits of data!
-However, there are a few different attacks that have been used to show
-vulnerabilities with the use of this technology. Side-channel attacks
-use inadvertent leaks of data from the hardware or software, which can
-allow attackers to obtain the key or run programs on a user's hardware.
-
-Please note that this is not something you should run out and try to
-implement in your =Hello, World!= app after only a few hours of
-research. While AES (basically all encryption methods) is extremely
-efficient in what it does, it takes a lot of time and patience to
-understand. If you're looking for something which currently implements

 list a few basic reasons to always enable encryption, where feasible:
 
-1. Privacy is a human right and is recognized as a national right in
-   some countries (e.g.,
-   [[https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fourth_amendment][US Fourth
-   Amendment]]).
-2. "Why not?" Encryption rarely affects performance or speed, so there's
-   usually not a reason to avoid it in the first place.
-3. Your digital identity and activity (texts, emails, phone calls,
-   online accounts, etc.) are extremely valuable and can result in
-   terrible consequences, such as identity theft, if leaked to other
-   parties. Encrypting this data prevents such leaks from ruining lives.
-4. Wiping or factory-resetting does not actually wipe all data from the
-   storage device. There are methods to read data from the physical
-   disks/boards inside devices.

 * Current Use of Analytics in Auditing
 
-While data analysis has been an integral part of most businesses and
-departments for the better part of the last century, only recently have
-internal audit functions been adopting this practice. The internal audit
-function works exclusively to provide assurance and consulting services
-to the business areas within the firm (except for internal auditing
-firms who are hired by different companies to perform their roles).

 * Finding the Proper KPIs
 
-Once the Internal Audit Function has decided that they want to start
-using data analytics internally and have ensured they're properly set up
-to do so, they need to figure out what they will be testing against. Key
-Performance Indicators (KPIs) are qualitative or quantitative factors
-that can be evaluated and assessed to determine if the department is
-performing well, usually compared to historical or industry benchmarks.
-Once KPIs have been agreed upon and set, auditors can use data analytics
-to assess and report on these KPIs. This allows the person performing
-the analytics the freedom to express opinions on the results, whereas
-the results are ambiguous if no KPIs exist.
-
-It should be noted that tracking KPIs in the department can help ensure
-you have a rigorous Quality Assurance and Improvement Program (QAIP) in
-accordance with some applicable standards, such as IPPF Standard 1300.

 * Data Analysis Tools
 
-Finally, to be able to analyze and report on the data analysis, auditors
-need to evaluate the tools at their disposal. There are many options
-available, but a few of the most common ones can easily get the job
-done. For example, almost every auditor already has access to Microsoft
-Excel. Excel is more powerful than most people give it credit for and
-can accomplish a lot of basic statistics without much work. If you don't

-
-To perform more in-depth statistical analysis or to explore large

-options. The big three that have had a lot of success in recent years
-are Python, R, and ACL. ACL can be used as either a graphical tool
-(point and click) or as a scripting tool, where the auditor must write
-the scripts manually. Python and the R-language are solely scripting
-languages.
-
-The general trend in the data analytics environment is that if the tool
-allows you to do everything by clicking buttons or dragging elements,
-you won't be able to fully utilize the analytics you need. The most
-robust solutions are created by those who understand how to write the
-scripts manually. It should be noted that as the utility of a tool
-increases, it usually means that the learning curve for that tool will
-also be higher. It will take auditors longer to learn how to utilize
-Python, R, or ACL versus learning how to utilize Excel.

 * Visualization
 
-Once an auditor has finally found the right data, KPIs, and tools, they
-must report these results so that actions can be taken. Performing
-in-depth data analysis is only useful if the results are understood by
-the audiences of the data. The best way to create this understanding is
-to visualize the results of the data. Let's take a look at some of the
-best options to visualize and report the results you've found.
-
-Some of the most popular commercial tools for visualization are
-Microsoft PowerBI and Tableau Desktop. However, other tools exist such
-as JMP, Plotly, Qlikview, Alteryx, or D3. Some require commercial
-licenses while others are simply free to use. For corporate data, you
-may want to make sure that the tool does not communicate any of the data
-outside the company (such as cloud storage). I won't be going into depth
-on any of these tools since visualization is largely a subjective and
-creative experience, but remember to constantly explore new options as
-you repeat the process.
-
-Lastly, let's take a look at an example of data visualization. This
-example comes from a
-[[https://talent.works/2018/03/28/the-science-of-the-job-search-part-iii-61-of-entry-level-jobs-require-3-years-of-experience/][blog

-entry-level US jobs that require experience. *Figure 3* shows us an
-easy-to-digest picture of the data. We can quickly tell that only about
-12.5% of entry-level jobs don't require experience.
-
-This is the kind of result that easily describes the data for you.
-However, make sure to include an explanation of what the results mean.
-Don't let the reader assume what the data means, especially if it
-relates to a complex subject. /Tell a story/ about the data and why the
-results matter.

 * Overview
 
-As the world of business evolves, managers must approach business
-planning and strategy with a contemporary mindset. According to Dess,
-McNamara, Eisner, and Lee, managers must be willing to adapt to the
-modern business environment by going beyond "'incremental management',
-whereby they view their job as making a series of small, minor changes
-to improve the efficiency of the firm's operations"(2019).
-
-One reason that strategic management is crucial is because most
-businesses that fail in the United States each year fail due to a lack
-of strategic focus or direction(2019). The rate of failure for
-businesses with poor strategies shows that strategic planning and
-management are crucial to a business's strength and longevity, injecting
-the critical factors of growth and direction into a company's business
-plan.
-

-help an organization grow and compete. Specifically, the Ansoff matrix
-is one of the most effective frameworks for companies who want to focus
-on increasing sales revenue or profitability(2019).
-
-This framework uses a two-by-two figure to show the four strategic
-options for companies to use in this framework: market penetration,
-market development, product development, and diversification (see
-*Figure 1*). The x-axis of the matrix focuses on the firm's markets and

-in its current markets. The y-axis of the matrix focuses on the firm's
-products and determines if the firm wants to pursue strategies around
-their existing products or explore new products.

 * Strategic Options
 
 ** Market Penetration
 
-The most straightforward strategy in the Ansoff matrix is to focus on
-existing products in existing markets, also known as market
-penetration(2019). Companies such as Coca-Cola have used market
-penetration successfully by investing a lot of money to get further
-value out of their current markets. Coca-Cola does this by introducing
-new features such as Christmas-themed bottles, personal names on the
-bottles, and other marketing schemes.

 ** Market Development
 
-Market development extends existing products into new markets in an
-attempt to increase the number of buyers. One interesting way that
-Coca-Cola used this strategy comes from the stigma that Diet Coke is a
-woman's drink(2019). Coca-Cola introduced Coca-Cola Zero, which
-contained the same nutritional content as Diet Coke, but was packaged in
-a dark black can to appear more "manly"(2019).

 ** Product Development
 
-Product development uses existing markets to introduce new products so
-that the firm can better meet customer needs(2019). The extreme end of
-diversification is home to companies such as Johnson & Johnson, a
-healthcare company that has developed a business portfolio of more than
-60,000 different products(2019). Johnson & Johnson's dedication to
-continuous diversification has led them to a balance sheet rating of
-"AAA", industry recognition for diversification, and increases in their
-investor dividends for 57 consecutive years(2019).

 ** Related Diversification
 
-Diversification, the final strategy of the Ansoff Matrix, is more
-difficult than the others since it involves exploring both new markets
-and new products. Related diversification is a diversification strategy
-that closely relates to the firm's core business. Coca-Cola's best
-example of related diversification is its acquisition of Glaceau and
-Vitamin Water, which expanded their drinking lines of business(2019).

 ** Unrelated Diversification
 
-Unrelated diversification is a diversification strategy that does not
-really relate to the firm's core business but still diversifies their
-business portfolio. A good example of this would be a coffee company who
-has decided to enter the market for bicycle sales. The main purpose of
-this strategy is to an extremely diverse company that will not go
-bankrupt if one market goes through difficult times. However, this
-requires a lot of independent skills and heavy investments since the
-company most likely cannot easily transfer knowledge between the markets
-they compete in.

 * Requirements for Success
 
-To use the Ansoff Matrix framework, managers need to formulate corporate
-goals and objectives. Without goals and direction, management frameworks
-do not present much practical utility. Further, the Ansoff Matrix
-requires the managers involved to make tactical decisions and create a
-path for the company to take toward their goals. Lastly, both the Ansoff
-Matrix needs to consider both internal and external perspectives
-throughout the strategy formulation process.
-
-One interesting probability is that companies will be using multiple
-strategic planning and management frameworks at the same time. While
-this may sound like it could crowd the management process, there are
-numerous reasons to do so. For example, the Ansoff Matrix and the
-Balanced Scorecard are relatively popular, and they cover entirely
-different parts of a company's strategy. Using the results from the
-Balanced Scorecard could inform a company of the potential product and
-market demands, such as from customer or supplier survey results, to
-help the company determine which Ansoff Matrix strategy to pursue.
-However, a combined approach at this level would require mature
-frameworks and focused managers who are able to strategize at a high
-level.
-
-Lastly, it should be noted that the author of the Ansoff matrix, Igor
-Ansoff, often used the term
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis][paralysis by
-analysis]] to explain the mistake of companies who overuse analysis and
-spend too much time planning. Companies need to understand the utility
-of a strategic management framework while ensuring that the company is
-poised to execute as efficiently as they have planned.

-The first place to start with any personal security check-up is to
-gather a list of all the different websites, apps, or programs that
-require you to have login credentials. Optionally, once you know where
-your information is being stored, you can sort the list from the
-most-important items such as banks or government logins to less
-important items such as your favorite meme site. You will want to ensure
-that your critical logins are secure before getting to the others.

 Once you think you have a good idea of all your different authentication
-methods, I recommend using a password manager such as
-[[https://bitwarden.com/][Bitwarden]]. Using a password manager allows
-you to automatically save your logins, create randomized passwords, and
-transfer passwords across devices. However, you'll need to memorize your
-"vault password" that allows you to open the password manager. It's
-important to make this something hard to guess since it would allow
-anyone who has it to access every password you've stored in there.
-
-Personally, I recommend using a
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passphrase][passphrase]] instead of a
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password][password]] for your vault
-password. Instead of using a string of characters (whether random or
-simple), use a phrase and add in symbols and a number. For example, your
-vault password could be =Racing-Alphabet-Gourd-Parrot3=. Swap the
-symbols out for whichever symbol you want, move the number around, and
-fine-tune the passphrase until you are confident that you can remember
-it whenever necessary.
-
-Once you've stored your passwords, make sure you continually check up on
-your account and make sure you aren't following bad password practices.

 ** What Are the Basic Requirements?
 
-When developing any password-protected application, there are a few
-basic rules that anyone should follow even if they do not follow any
-official guidelines such as NIST. The foremost practice is to require
-users to use passwords that are at least 8 characters and cannot easily
-be guessed. This sounds extremely simple, but it requires quite a few
-different strategies. First, the application should check the potential
-passwords against a dictionary of insecure passwords such =password=,
-=1234abc=, or =application_name=.
-
-Next, the application should offer guidance on the strength of passwords
-being entered during enrollment. Further, NIST officially recommends
-*not* implementing any composition rules that make passwords hard to
-remember (e.g. passwords with letters, numbers, and special characters)
-and instead encouraging the use of long pass phrases which can include
-spaces. It should be noted that to be able to keep spaces within
-passwords, all unicode characters should be supported, and passwords
-should not be truncated.

 In layman's terms, cryptography is a process that can change data from a
-readable format into an unreadable format (and vice-versa) through a
-series of processes and secrets. More technically, this is the Internet

 * Key Elements of Cryptographic Systems
 
-To create or evaluate a cryptographic system, you need to know the

-
-- *Encryption Algorithm (Primitive):* A mathematical process that
-  encrypts and decrypts data.
-- *Encryption Key:* A string of bits used within the encryption
-  algorithm as the secret that allows successful encryption or
-  decryption of data.
-- *Key Length (Size):* The maximum number of bits within the encryption
-  key. It's important to remember that key size is regulated in many
-  countries.
-- *Message Digest:* A smaller, fixed-size bit string version of the
-  original message. This is practically infeasible to reverse, which is
-  why it's commonly used to verify integrity.

 * Symmetric Systems (Secret Key Cryptography)
 
-Symmetric cryptography utilizes a secret, bidirectional key to perform
-both encryption and decryption of the data. The most common
-implementation of symmetric cryptography is the Advanced Encryption
-Standard, which uses keys that are 128 bits to 256 bits in size. This
-standard came after the National Institute of Standards and Technology
-(NIST) decided to retire the Data Encryption Standard (DES) in 2001.
-
-Since brute force attacks strongly correlate with key length, the 56-bit
-key length of DES was considered insecure after it was publicly broken
-in under 24 hours. However, there is a modern implementation of DES
-called Triple DES where the DES method is applied three times to each
-data block.
-
-The main advantages to symmetric systems are the ease of use, since only
-one key is required for both encryption and decryption, and the
-simplicity of the algorithms. This helps with bulk data encryption that
-may unnecessarily waste time and power using asymmetric systems.
-
-However, symmetric systems have disadvantages to keep in mind. Since the
-key is private, it can be difficult to safely distribute keys to
-communication partners. Additionally, the key cannot be used to sign
-messages since it's necessary to keep the key private.

 * Asymmetric Systems (Public Key Cryptography)
 
-Asymmetric cryptography utilizes two keys within the system: a secret
-key that is privately-held and a public key that can be distributed
-freely. The interesting aspect of asymmetric cryptography is that either
-key can be used to encrypt the data, there's no rule that dictates which
-key must be used for encryption. Once one key is used to encrypt the
-data, only the other key can be used to decrypt the data. This means
-that if the private key encrypts the data, only the public key can
-decrypt the data.
-
-An advantage of this system is that if you successfully decrypt data
-using one of the keys, you can be sure of the sender since only the
-other key could have encrypted the data.
-
-One of the major implementations of an asymmetric system is a digital
-signature. A digital signature can be generated using the sender's
-private key, or a one-way hash function and is used to provide assurance
-for the integrity and authenticity of the message. A couple common
-message digest algorithms are SHA-256 and SHA-512, which securely
-compress data and produce a 128-bit message digest.
-
-It should be noted that man-in-the-middle attacks are one of the risks
-with digital signatures and public keys. To combat this, applications
-often use a public key infrastructure (PKI) to independently
-authenticate the validity of signatures and keys.
-
-Due to the large key size and
-[[https://crypto.stackexchange.com/a/591][inefficient mathematical
-functions]] of asymmetric encryption, elliptical curve cryptography
-(ECC) is often used to increase security while using fewer resources.

-network services by authenticating users through a secure channel. This
-protocol is often used for command-line (shell) functions such as remote
-shell commands, logins, and file transfers.

-*Kerberos:* Developed by MIT, Kerberos is a computer-network

-For the shell choice, I decided to choose zsh after trying it out on a

-themes of your terminal, include icons, or add plugins.
-
-The desktop uses the
-[[https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions][zsh-autosuggestions]]
-to suggest past commands as you type. In addition, it suggests
-corrections if you misspell a command. Lastly, it uses the =af-magic=
-theme, which adds dashed lines between commands, moving the user@host
-tag to the right side of the terminal, and changes the colors. There are
-plenty of plugins and themes to choose from. Just figure out what you
-like and add it to your =~/.zshrc= file!

 ** DNS Entry Types
 
 There are two types of DNS records which interest us: CNAME and A.
 
-=A= is also known as =Apex= or sometimes as =root entry=. It forwards
-requests to a specified fixed IP address. =CNAME= entry forwards
-requests to a specified URL (actual valid plain text URL, not an IP
-address).

 ** DNS Load balancing
 
-GitHub has one central URL address which accepts all DNS requests for
-GitHub Pages: =http://username.github.io=. That URL is resolved to
-different IP addresses based on your geographical location. Website
-hosted on GitHub Pages is a simple collection of =HTML=, =CSS= and =JS=
-files. GitHub distributes these files to different servers across the
-globe. So that when your browser sends a request from Europe, it
-receives data from a server in Europe. The same is valid for the
-requests from Asia and the USA.

 ** What GitHub is trying to say
 
-Since =A= records in DNS must contain IP addresses, and they must be
-either =185.199.108.153= or =185.199.109.153= or =185.199.110.153= or
-=185.199.111.153=, there is no way to forward requests to a server
-located somewhere in Europe or Asia. Your website hosted at GitHub Pages
-will be downloaded from a central GitHub Pages server. There is a minor
-risk that if GitHub Pages DNS servers (=x.x.x.153=) are down for some
-reason, all custom domains which use fixed GitHub Pages IP addresses
-will not be accessible (their DNS requests will not be resolvable).
-
-That is why GitHub strongly suggests to either use a second-level domain
-for your GitHub Pages (e.g. =blog.example.com=) or use a DNS service
-provider that supports a record type =ALIAS= that acts as =A= record but
-forwards request to a URL address (e.g. =username.github.io=) instead of
-a fixed IP address.

-Independence is the freedom from conditions that threaten the ability of
-the internal audit activity to carry out internal audit responsibilities
-in an unbiased manner. To achieve the degree of independence necessary
-to effectively carry out the responsibilities of the internal audit
-activity, the chief audit executive has direct and unrestricted access

 ** Objective
 
-Objectivity is an unbiased mental attitude that allows internal auditors

-that internal auditors do not subordinate their judgment on audit
-matters to others. Threats to objectivity must be managed at the

 ** 3. Testing

-it against regulations, industry standards, company rules, best
-practices, as well as validating that any processes are complete and
-accurate. For example, an audit of HR would most likely examine

-of personally identifiable information (PII), or the IT systems involved
-in these processes. Company standards would be examined and compared
-against how the processes are actually being performed day-to-day, as
-well as compared against regulations such as the Equal Employment
-Opportunity (EEO), American with Disabilities Act, and National Labor
-Relations Act.

-Once all the tests have been completed, the audit will enter the
-reporting phase. This is when the audit team will conclude on the
-evidence they've collected, interviews they've held, and any opinions
-they've formed on the controls in place. A summary of the audit
-findings, conclusions, and specific recommendations are officially
-communicated to the client through a draft report. Clients have the
-opportunity to respond to the report and submit an action plan and time
-frame. These responses become part of the final report which is

-that due date has arrived. In most cases, the follow-up will simply
-consist of a meeting to discuss how the action plan has been completed

 full-time employees, there are actually many different ways in which a
-department can be structured. As the world becomes more digital and
-fast-paced, outsourcing has become a more attractive option for some
-organizations. Internal audit can be fully outsourced or partially
-outsourced, allowing for flexibility in cases where turnover is high.

-In addition, departments can implement a rotational model. This allows
-for interested employees around the organization to rotate into the
-internal audit department for a period of time, allowing them to obtain
-knowledge of risks and controls and allowing the internal audit team to
-obtain more business area knowledge. This program is popular in very
-large organizations, but organizations tend to rotate lower-level audit
-staff instead of managers. This helps prevent any significant knowledge

 * Consulting
 
-Consulting is not an easy task at any organization, especially for a
-department that can have negative perceptions within the organization as
-the "compliance police." However, once an internal audit department has
-delivered value to organization, adding consulting to their suite of
-services is a smart move. In most cases, Internal Audit can insert
-themselves into a consulting role without affecting the process of
-project management at the company. This means that internal audit can
-add objective assurance and opinions to business areas as they develop
-new processes, instead of coming in periodically to audit an area and
-file issues that could have been fixed at the beginning.

 * Perfect is the Enemy of Good
 
-As the saying goes, "the best is the enemy of the good." As we strive
-for perfection, we often fail to realize the implications of such an
-undertaking. Attempting to reach perfection is often unrealistic. Even
-worse, it can get in the way of achieving a good outcome. In certain
-situations, we try so hard to achieve the ideal solution that we have
-burned the bridges that would have allowed us to reach a lesser yet
-still superb solution.
-
-Philosophers throughout history have inspected this plight from many
-viewpoints. Greek mythology speaks of the
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_mean_(philosophy)][golden mean]],
-which uses the story of Icarus to illustrate that sometimes "the middle
-course" is the best solution. In this story, Daedalus, a famous artist
-of his time, built feathered wings for himself and his son so that they
-might escape the clutches of King Minos. Daedalus warns his beloved son
-whom he loved so much to "fly the middle course", between the sea spray
-and the sun's heat. Icarus did not heed his father; he flew up and up
-until the sun melted the wax off his wings. For not heeding the middle
-course, he fell into the sea and drowned.
-
-More recently, management scholars have explored the
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle][Pareto principle]] and
-found that as we increase the frequency of something, or strive to
-perform actions to achieve some form of perfection, we run into
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diminishing_returns][diminishing
-returns]].
-
-Even further, Harold Demsetz is noted as coining the term
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_fallacy][the Nirvana fallacy]]
-in 1969, which shows the fallacy of comparing actual things with
-unrealistic, idealized alternatives. This is another trap that we may
-fall into, where we are constantly thinking of the ultimate solutions to
-problems, when something more realistic needs to be considered.

 * When Mediocrity Isn't Enough
 
-One problem with the philosophies presented in this post is that they
-are implemented far too often in situations where mediocrity simply
-isn't adequate. For example, let's take a look at digital user data,
-specifically personally-identifiable information (PII). As a
-cybersecurity auditor in the United States, I have found that most
-companies are concerned more with compliance than any actual safeguards
-over the privacy or protection of user data. Other than companies who
-have built their reputation on privacy and security, most companies will
-use [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satisficing][satisficing]] as their
-primary decision-making strategy around user data.

 2. Competitive pressure
 3. Risk of monetary or reputation loss

-don't think about our responsibilities beyond these basic standards.
-

-philosophy as a broad stroke across one's life can be a mistake. We must

 * A Brief History
 
-As a form of continuous learning and entertainment, I've been running a
-handful of websites since 2016 when I took my first programming courses
-in college. I maintain one main website, the place I consider the
-official website to represent me. Under this site, I have a handful of
-subdirectories and subdomains.
-
-One of the parts I've enjoyed the most about web development is the
-aspect of designing an identity for a web page and working to find
-exciting ways to display the site's content. Inevitably, this means I've
-changed the designs for my websites more times than I could possibly
-count. Since I don't really host anything on my main webpage that's
-vital, it allows me the freedom to change things as inspiration strikes.
-
-Historically, I've relied on core utilities for spacing, components, and
-layouts from [[https://getbootstrap.com][Bootstrap]] and added custom
-CSS for fonts, accents, colors, and other items. I also tend to create
-sites with no border radius on items, visible borders, and content that
-takes up the entire screen (using whitespace inside components instead
-of whitespace around my components).

 * The Redesign Process
 
-About a week ago, I found myself wishing for a new design yet again. The
-prior design was largely inspired by IBM's
-[[https://www.carbondesignsystem.com][Carbon Design System]] and relied
-on jQuery, Bootstrap, along with some compressed
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP][.webp]] images.
-
-To anyone who knows my preferences toward web design - and even in my
-personal life - it should be no surprise that I immediately started
-looking for inspiration on minimalism. While there are some decent
-minimalistic designs on sites like
-[[https://dribbble.com/search/shots/popular/web-design?q=minimalism][Dribbble]],
-people seem to mostly discuss [[https://brutalist-web.design][brutalist
-web design]] when you ask about minimalism. While brutalist web design
-doesn't have to be minimal, it often is.
-
-I suppose, in a way, I did create a brutalist website since my HTML is
-semantic and accessible, hyperlinks are colored and underlined, and all
-native browser functions like scrolling and the back button work as
-expected. However, I didn't think about brutalism while designing these
-sites.
-
-The new design followed a simple design process. I walked through the
-screens on my blog and asked myself: "Is this element necessary for a
-user?" This allowed me to first start by removing all javascript, which
-had the sole purpose of allowing users to open a collapsed navbar on
-mobile. Replacing the collapsible navbar allowed me to remove both
-jQuery and Bootstrap's javascript.
-
-Next, I removed things like author names (since I'm literally the only
-person who will ever write on this site), multiple ways to click on a
-blog post card, blog post descriptions, and the scroll-to-top button. It
-also helped to move all categories to a single page, rather than have
-each category on its own page.
-
-The final big piece to finish the
-"[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Kondo#KonMari_method][KonMari]]"-like
-part of my process was to remove Bootstrap CSS in its entirety. However,
-this meant pulling out a few very useful classes, such as =.img-fluid=
-and the default font stacks to keep in my custom CSS.
-
-After removing all the unnecessary pieces, I was finally able to
-reorganize my content and add a very small amount of custom CSS to make
-everything pretty. This took a brief amount of time, effectively just
-consisting of me converting =<div>= tags into things like =<ul>= lists
-and choosing accent colors.

 * The Results
 
 ** Reflection
 
 So, what did all of this reorganizing do to my webpages? Well, first, my
-websites are now *ridiculously fast*. Since the prior designs were also
-minimal and didn't have many images, they measured up in Firefox's
-Network Monitor around 300 KB - 600KB. After making the changes, my main
-site is at 5 KB transferred (22 KB total), and my blog is at 6.5 KB
-transferred (13 KB total). *That means the redesigned pages are less
-than 2% the size of the old designs.*
-
-Google Lighthouse ranks the new webpage as 100 in performance,
-accessibility, and best practices, with SEO at 92 since they think tap
-targets are not sized appropriately for mobile users. First contextual
-paints of the pages are under 0.8 seconds with 0 ms of blocking time.
-However, the blog subdomain ranks at 100 for all four categories! First
-contextual paints of the blog homepage are under 1.0 seconds with 0 ms
-of blocking time, due to the fact that the CSS for my blog is within a
-separate CSS file, and the CSS for my main website is simply embedded in
-the HTML file.
-
-Now that everything is complete, I can confidently say I'm happy with
-the result and proud to look at the fastest set of websites I've created
-so far.

-Each level of the game is shown as a separate arcade machine. Each
-arcade machine lets you play on Normal, Hard, Insane, Practice, and Free
-Run. To beat each arcade, you must reach the end of the level without
-crashing your car into the various obstacles on the course. Basic levels

-you through other tests, such as dodging traffic or blasting asteroids.

 * Game Description
 
-Zork is an interactive, text-based computer game originally released
-in 1980. This series, split into three separate games, introduced a
-robust and sophisticated text parser to gamers. People were largely used
-to the simple commands used in the popular game
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave_Adventure][Colossal Cave
-Adventure]], but Zork allowed users to send more complex commands that
-included prepositions and conjunctions.
-
-Zork tracks your score as you explore the map, find tools, and collect
-trophy items (e.g., a jewel-encrusted egg). When you place your trophy
-items in the trophy case found in the Living Room area, you gain score
-points. Collecting the Twenty Treasures of Zork and placing them within
-the trophy case wins the game. However, you must explore the map, solve
-puzzles, and avoid being eaten by a grue to collect these treasures.

 * In-Game Screenshots
 
-After playing the game (for the first time ever) for several weeks
-around 2014, I was finally able to beat the game with some online help
-to find the last couple items. As I was writing this post, I installed
-the game again to grab some screenshots to show off the true glory of
-this game. As noted in
-[[https://www.filfre.net/2012/01/exploring-zork-part-1/][Jimmy Maher's
-playthrough]], the original Zork games looked quite a bit different due
-to the older hardware of computers like the Apple II and multiple bug
-fixes that Infocom pushed out after the game's initial release. My
-play-through uses the
-[[https://store.steampowered.com/app/570580/Zork_Anthology/][Zork
-Anthology]] version, which utilizes DOSBox on Windows.
-
-The first screenshot here shows the introductory information, which
-doesn't include instructions of any kind for the player. If you haven't
-played text adventures before, try to use simple commands like "go
-west," "look around," or "hit troll with elvish sword."
-
-In this second screenshot, we see the player has entered the house and
-found the trophy case in the living room. The lantern and sword in this
-room allow the player to explore dark areas and attack enemies. If you
-don't use the lantern, you won't be able to see anything in dark areas,
-and you may be eaten by a grue.
-
-Finally, we see that the player has found the first treasure: a
-jewel-encrusted egg. These treasures can be taken back to the house and
-placed in the trophy case or carried until you feel like you want to put
-things away.

 * Conclusion
 
-It's been quite a few years since I first played Zork, but I clearly
-remember the late nights and bloodshot eyes that helped me find all the
-treasures. This game is well worth the time and effort, even though the
-text-based aspect may be off-putting to gamers who didn't have to grow
-up playing games without graphics. However, I believe that the strategy
-and skills learned in early video games like Zork can actually help you,
-even when playing newer games.
