It's been a while...

What happened?

I guess I just lost interest? After I initially got the site running with Jekyll ~2 years ago I was really happy with it. But I quickly realized that Jekyll was the wrong templating engine choice.

It was also my first attempt at a statically generated site. It had a lot of issues and I quickly realized it would need a rewrite.

And as with most things, I’ve been putting that rewrite off forever.

I also didn’t really have much to say, the landing page was filled with Lorem ipsum placeholders and I didn’t want to write any blog posts on a site that was totally unfinished.

Long story short, the project died.

I don’t know if I have much more to say now compared to when I first got the site running, but for what it’s worth, the site is back!

I got rid of the landing page placeholders, made it much cleaner and more my style. I rewrote the whole thing with Hugo, I have automatic site builds when changes happen upstream and like the old site, the whole thing is open-source.

There are still pretty major issues with how I (or rather someone over at W3C - it’s heavily based on their W3CSS templates) made the site. But I’m no web developer. It’s good enough for now.

Expect more content very soon.
