I've actually been toying with the idea of switching to Hugo to learn some Go and also because the org mode integration is a bit better.

My Hugo blog is working just fine, so of course my brain is nagging me with thoughts like, "But, but, but remember Eleventy? That sure was neat!"

I've been using Eleventy for my blog for the last 3 years or so, and I'm finding the experience...okay? It's more complicated to set up than Pelican, which I was using before, but also a lot more amenable to programming yourself out of problems.

Annual Christmas tree snap
This is the year for tech upgrades, I guess. New tiny computer, new customizable keyboard and new smaller external storage.
My blog is based around Eleventy, which means I write my entries in plain text, using Markdown and YAML front matter, a combo which I'm sure is familiar to most users of static site generators.
I also participate in the IndieWeb, which means I post many different kinds of content other than your standard blog posts - notes, likes, photos, etc.
I find it useful to divide my content in two main types: original content, where the focus is on my own published material, and derivative content, which only makes sense in the context of another, external URL.
First real snow fall of the year. Boot weather is here!
I can't be the only one who often catches himself saying "When I graduate" when I mean to say "When I retire", right?
