 So, this time around, while I was still brainstorming for ideas and theme designs and what not, I decided to go back to Jekyll, or you may say, rather old school. Why not use plain static HTML files with some CSS styling and JS animations? Static sites are impossible to hack, as there are no codes needed to be run on the server. The only way a static site can be compromised if the code breakers have access to your FTP account. I have used Jekyll in the past during my college years. I was working as a Teaching Assistant in the Mathematics Dept, and I was supposed to post weekly course materials on the course website. The trouble was my Alma maters IT dept didn’t allow dynamic sites to run on the nodes, and I wasn’t going download the HTML files, edit them with Sublime text, and push them back onto the server every week. So I used Jekyll and GIT Version Control to do that for me. And it was so efficient that I would post materials daily instead of weekly. It was like love on first use. But Wordpress had lots of theme choices and for my personal site I decided to use Wordpress anyways disregarding the simpleness and speed static sites provided. After the takeover of my Wordpress powered blog happened, I turned to self written PHP sites and static sites completely. I have built a social network based on PHP for my peer group which is highly secure but when it comes down to speed it lags behind. So I built this site using Jekyll, a blog aware static site generator. I hope this site will perform as envisioned.

 Nothing beats Medium when it comes to blogging. Its overly simplistic, minimal and its true WYSIWYG editor put itself ahead of the races. But there comes a time, when you might need a self hosted blog. Maybe its for a project, or as it was for me, I needed something static to be hosted in my University’s servers.
 
 It was 2008, I was a freshman at college and I was provided with a University email id and a small web-hosting space. I did not pay as much heed to the latter one until I was required to put up some notes on it by my EECS-I course instructor. I was involved in a robotics project, and my CI wanted me to post regular updates on my provided web-space. During the first four weeks of classes, we were given a short course on Git Version Control, but for blogging, I did not know where to start. I Googled, and I found WordPress, it seemed perfect for the job at hand, I downloaded the latest version from the repository and unzipped the contents on my web-space, when I went on to install it, I found that student web-spaces did not support dynamic pages and builds. What a bummer.

 Then I found Jekyll, a true gem written in Ruby. I never took Ruby lessons, yet the code base which contained 16K LoC was easier to understand, and the usage was much more easier. I had to install Ruby, the corresponding Ruby DevKit and Jekyll locally on my machine to get my site up and running. Also, I could only publish from my machine only as that was the only machine had all the tools installed to compile a Jekyll site.

+### Windows 10 God Mode
+
+Found this article at [^thinkcomputers.org] regarding some 'GodMode' configuration in Windows 10. Curious to what it was, I went ahead and unlocked it via an easy hack.
+
+### Unlock God Mode You Ask?
+
+##### Step 1: Create a new folder on your desktop
+
+- Right Click on Desktop > New folder. You can also use the  ```CTRL+SHIFT+N``` keyboard shortcut to make a new folder.
+
+##### Step 2: Rename the folder.
+
+- Name this folder the following, 
+
+```
+GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
+``` 
+
+Actually, you can name the string before the **.** anything you want. For example
+
+```
+HelloWorld.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
+```
+
+##### Step 3: Open the new 'GodMode Shortcut'
+
+- The folder icon is replaced by an icon similar to a Control Panel icon immediately after renaming.
+
+![Desktop Folder](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33327425/images/it/godmode.png)
+
+- The list of configurable items that can be accessed in one 'GodMode' shortcut.
+
+![Settings](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33327425/images/it/godmode2.png)
+
+
+While this may be a rather convenient shortcut, I do not see myself using it as a way of accessing windows configurations. Mainly because I have become accustomed to the Windows 8 Charms shortcuts (Win + Q, Win + X, etc..). With Charms, I have the ability to search and specific which controls I need to access. 
+
+With Windows 10 being out for a couple of weeks now and given my role as an IT Manager, a tool that would be more beneficial the Remote Server Administration Tool (RSAT) for Windows 10. Microsoft, I am patiently waiting - having to remote into the domain controller to manage AD objects is so time consuming! :P
