@mkj that’s weird about Hugo. I looked at it, but passed form some reason that I can’t recall. Maybe because I don’t know anything about Go.

I have been using Middleman for as long as I can remember. Just for regular sites. But I don’t like their blog setup. And there was a bug with something I wanted to do. So that’s how I landed with Jekyll. Which is working great so far.

So I relaunched my blog again. This time I’m hosting it myself. Never again with third-party platforms.

My bad experiences with Medium and @write_as led me here, to my own Jekyll solution.

My very first article published with this system talks about the journey and why this decision matters.

(Also, I have finally resolved to calling it a blog.)

When I was giving a lecture in Wellington a while back, I missed my daughter’s soccer match. I wanted to know how it went. This is the conversation we had.

9 years old, y’all. Sassy af. She’s 16 now and nothing has changed.
