So I made another personal blog. This is my.. fourth, I think? The first few were exceptionally cringey in retrospect. Hopefully this one ages better.
I'm trying pelican out, because it seems straightfowrward enough and I can run the entire backend on my laptop and publish from anywhere. Seeing all these 2002-2005 era personal one-page sites crop up covered in those ancient rectangular bages gave me super nostalgia, so I spent a saturday afternoon beating gpt in the face with a brick to help me take a screenshot of an ancient 1999 enlightment e13 theme and convert it as closely as I could to a functional pelican theme.
Cool thing about pelican - 100% static. Ideally, the entire site is super tiny, because its just css and html, and with pelican, a bit of markdown.
I dunno if this sort of thing will support rss or not, but I'll look into it, as I wager that if I end up writing anything that catches any real attention, rss is how folks are going to notice a new post.
Also: at present the ENTIRE BLOG is 182k! Pretty fuckin rad :D
- this is just a bullet point test
- ive never made a site in markdown before
im gonna have to test stuff out
in the meantime, here's that threabutt i built to shove into da_667's logs way back when. It could use some work, and ive been meaning to get back into ascii art. I suppose i'll also need to figure out a good way to showcase anything new i draw here. that seems sensible.
