About this website
I've decided that the time has finally come for me to move away from vim-written html that had started to become unmanageable, moving to vim-written reStructuredText that is converted into a website using rest2web.
I don't use a dynamic web framework because the contents of this site are mostly static and I believe that wasting computer cycles is wrong, even when they are plenty. A static website is also simpler and safer to maintain.
The move
I've put online this new version of my website maybe a little early, while I'm still fiddling with rest2web, so that I can start adding new contents sooner, and move the old content to the new system.
As I work on the move, the old content will be available under http://www.trueelena.org/old/; expect broken links as I have to remove content that has already been migrated because of hosting space limits.
Some technical details
The sources for this website are a set of reStructuredText files managed in a (private) git repository.
Building and updating the website is done automagically with a git hook that invokes rest2web and then sitecopy (the sitecopy website seems to be down atm) to upload the changed files to the site host.
Feeds
I plan to add an atom feed for new articles (real soon(TM)); stay tuned for updates.
