coding fun

[yossi]

I may or may not have thrown a fit this week and pulled down everything from my Web site with the intent of rebuilding it from the ground up. By "may have" I mean I absolutely did do this thing. Not that it was any great loss -- this last go-around I tried out Wordpress for managing everything but I do not vibe with it at this point. It's an excellent piece of software that has managed to become So Very Much to deal with over the last couple of years, with the unfortunate effect that it's slow and I am too impatient to deal with it. So I moved it aside and have been playing with a very simple Python static site generator. (This generator allegedly has the ability to deal with blog posts, but the functionality on that side is rudimentary to say the least and Dreamwidth does it better.) I forked the repo for the site generator, added a bit of functionality to it to generate the site structure the way I want it, and pretty much have it dialed in at this point.

Other than nerding out, this has been a nice Shabbat. Tomorrow if I don't go to the damn grocery store there will very likely be no pecan pie for Th*nksg*v*ng two years in a row, which is unacceptable. Pray for my ability to acquire any Karo syrup at all.
