As I noted in my last post...checks notes....a year and a half ago, I've moved this site to be statically generated, and because I'm an idiot, I have written this static site using my own static site generator, and I even tested it locally on my own simple HTTP server.
However, because of late I've written a lot of markdown, I've not particularly enjoyed the requirement that I imposed on myself that the posts on this site would be written in XML. Fortunately, today, after some hacking on TeenyHttpd, SiteBuilder, and my JonathanGiles.net implementation of SiteBuilder, I am now able to support writing my blog posts in markdown, which makes me incredibly happy :-)
I know I should have just used Jekyll and moved on with my life, but sometimes the thrill is in the coding, rather than actually using the tool. When I want to actually be productive, e.g. with the Java Best Practices, I do use Jekyll, so I'm not a complete idiot...
In any case, maybe, hopefully, this will encourage me to get back into blogging and sharing more about what I am doing in my day job and elsewhere. Let's see...
