Welcome to my website. It is built with Lupo — a small static site
generator I made in Bash.
The website is bare-bones right now, as I flesh things out. This
includes finishing off some of the functionality of Lupo in order to
work how I want it to.
Uses
In my day to day work, these are the tools I use:
- Lenovo Thinkpad T490.
- 31.5” 4K external monitor.
- Arch Linux
- Tmux
- Neovim
Technologies
- PHP (Laravel ‐ shock, horror)
- Bash
- Terraform and Ansible (for setting this simple little website up
initially)
- Go (cursory interest in build little cli tools for myself)
- Python (some data viz interest)
(Not so) Frequently asked
questions
- Why bother making your own SSG? Just use Astro / 11ty / Hugo /
Jekyll!
-
Because, first and foremost, I enjoy making things. So why not? But also
because I wanted the simplest way to get an html website from writing to
my server in as little faff as possible.
- Where are all of your old posts and pages?
-
I decided I want to completely strip back what my website is. Before
this one I was using WordPress. And on it I had all of my old tweets and
all kinds of “passive” posts like listens / notes etc. I want to be a
lot more intentional with what I put on my website. Yes, I’ve broken all
of those old links, but no-one visits my site other than me anyway so
hey ho.
