This Blog

Written in reStructured Text for the Pelican blogging software. Why Pelican and reStructured Text? I'll start with the reStructured Text choice: I like using a normal text editor - now NEOVIM. I'm also using RST at work so I wanted to get to know it well. Pelican is actually more or a build system than a true blogging platform - why use it? I've used WordPress before and didn't want the headache of keeping ahead of the copious security flaws that inevitably creep into anything created in PHP. (That one time I didn't patch Wordpress quick enough my whole blog got totally b0rked. Never again.)

Currently, this blog is hosted on S3 with Cloudfront proving the caching.
