I didn't originally intend for all of this to be in a single commit. But
here we are. I don't have the time to split these up more cleanly; this
project is taking more time than I originally hoped that it would.
This is a new static site generator. More information to follow in the
near future (hopefully in the form of an article), but repo2html is now
removed. See code comments for additional information; I tried to make it
suitable as a learning resource for others. It is essentially a set of
shell scripts with a fairly robust build for incremental generation.
The site has changed drastically, reflecting that its purpose has changed
over the years: it is now intended for publishing quality works (or at least
I hope), not just a braindump.
This retains most of the text of the original pages verbatim, with the
exception of the About page. Other pages may have their text modified in
commits that follow.
Enhancements to follow in future commits.
I don't. This is just some place safe to store random thoughts that people
probably don't care about (like most comments on most social networking
services), with the added benefit of distributed backup, a simple system and no
character limit.
All the thoughts are commit messages; in particular, this means no versioning.
That's okay, because I'm not going to go back and modify them, but I do want
dates and I do want GPG signatures (to show that it's actually me thinking this
crap).
This isn't a journal.
This will mostly be a hacker's thought cesspool.
This isn't a blog.
Though, considering how much I ramble (look at this message), certain thoughts
could certainly seem like blog entries. Don't get the two confused---one
requires only thought defecation and the other endures the disturbing task of
arranging the thought matter into something coherent and useful to present to
others.
Yeah. Enjoy. Or don't. You probably shouldn't, even if you do. If you don't,
you probably should just to see that you shouldn't.
