The idea here is to provide as little CSS as is sensible for the initial
page load to be styled in a layout similar to the final layout. This
initial styling may be briefly visible on a slow conection.
Slow connections can happen for a variety of reasons. For example, I'm a
Tor user, and connection speeds vary. Mobile connection speeds can also
vary wildly.
This adds a few hundred bytes, but I was able to cut it down quite a bit,
and I don't find this to be unreasonable relative to the other data on
each page.
This automates creation of the header and footer. Previously I modified
them manually and they got out-of-sync.
This is deployed to a different location on my webserver, even though the
public route is `/projects'.
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.
