How I did it
How to rebuild my site with Webgen
It took me
5 days
It made me
ambivalent

How I did it: Most of the work was in transforming the whole-site-in-one file format I was using for WebMake to the one-file-per-page format for Webgen. I definitely like the accompanying designs, and the tags are easy to work with. I *know* I'll be fiddling with it more, and I may even migrate away from Webgen later. Read how I did it…

Rebuild my site with Webgen (read all 2 entries…)
80% 2 months ago

All the content is being generated now, and I’m using one of the provided templates. I’ll probably muck about with it later, but that’s not a priority for the moment.

Now I just need to figure out how to do the bloggy news pieces.

Rebuild my site with Webgen (read all 2 entries…)
This should be an easy task 2 months ago

I’m doing it right now, as a matter of fact.

Webgen is one of many static site generation tools. It’s written in Ruby, and looks like it’s going to work just fine for my site. At least as well as WebMake, which is what I’ve been using up to now.

identify 100 things that make me happy (besides money) (read all 14 entries…)
Staying up too late when I know I should go to bed 6 months ago

It’s after midnight, but I’m having so much fun kicking back and reading up on some Perl stuff. Sure, I’ll go to bed now because that is the best thing to do for my health. It is nice to occasionally push just a little bit past the safety line for the sake of personal indulgence, though.
