My truly personal space on the internet.
What is this about?
I am exploring ways to create and publish more of my own work. This includes writing, photography, software development, and possibly some art projects too.
How is this built?
This website is built on the well known static site generator Jekyll. My pages are in the top-level directory. Posts reside in _posts, and my separate collection on cooking is in _food.
Most of my writing is done in Markdown files that I either edit with Vim, Typora, or Obsidian.
Future work
- It would be cool to include a dark mode, based on the
prefers-color-schemeCSS media feature. See MDN. - Separate page for books I have read and reviews I have written
- Maybe look into the use of Adobe's open-source font family Source, including Source Sans Pro and Source Serif Pro (also used at Gwern.net)
- Implement extra tags for posts:
date-started,date-updated,status - Host binary content (i.e., images, documents) on a separate CDN (Backblaze B2)
- Add social meta tags (twitter, schema, opengraph)
- Add archive overviews
- Find a way to incorporate link dumps (I like the idea of small screenshot thumbnails of websites, e.g., see this)
- Refactor Photos to use three-column gallery (see LogRocket blog and Sydney Hough's website)
