annealerSo I’m back in the blarghosphere where I can pollute the tubes with my own special brand of crap. This time I’m using Jekyll, a static file based site/blog builder. I was writing my own and Jekyll came out in the meantime, and does almost exactly what I want, except a few things I patched in my GitHub fork.
I’ll eventually be putting comment support up here, via Grumble (test page here), a service I’ve built that is intended to be used to comment on any HTTP resource. Following REST and staying addressable turns out to be a good thing, whowouldathunkit?
If you’re putting up your own Jekyll based blog, SHTTPD/Mongoose is great for testing - you can just change into your ‘site’ dir and fire up SHTTPD on the right port, and have all your absolutely referenced CSS / HTML work properly.
Let’s see how long I can maintain this before I get bored of it. The fact I don’t give a shit how this looks in IE shows how far we’ve come browser-wise. It’s not that I can’t fix it, it’s that for my personal site, I won’t fix it. I’ll save that kind of torture for paid work, not make it a hobby.
