What is this

• A place to share some of my thoughts, opinions, ideas

Why did I need to do this

• Because I could :)
• Because I feel too strongly about some of the ideas / opinions to keep to myself
• Because I hope this way I can better organize all the stuff I am working on

How was this built

This is a static site hosted for free on GitHub. The html is generated using a shell script I cobbled together

Essentially a lightly modified version of Expose - a wonderful bash script by Jack Qiao Theme is based off Hyde

Why didn\'t you just use Jekyll / Hugo / something similar

• Because I love the elegance and simplicity of one bash script handling everything I need to publish.
  • No dependency on Ruby / Python / Go or anything other than couple of css files and an html template
  • Despite having a little bit of exposure of working with Jekyll, the liquid filters still seemed a little magical to me. I understand the workings of bash better :)
• Also, I could customize the bash-script to more closely suit my work-flow

Current issues

• Broken links, here and there
• Haywire formatting
• Unedited posts; hopefully no spelling errors though
• And many, many more
