Meta on Thomas Schwery

Migration to Hugo

After an another long pause on this blog, I piled up a number of notes in my notebook that I have to write down. But first, like with any other reboot, I have to refresh my tools.

This time, I migrated my blog from Chronicle to Hugo. I put my existing articles through a simple converter to get them in markdown.

The articles are written in Markdown, converted and processed through Hugo.

My blog now supports Gopher

As always during holidays, I have too much time on my hands.

Relevant XKCD: #554

My blog now supports Gopher !

You can visit it on ~~gopher://schwery.me~~ This link is no longer valid, this server has been torn down

If you are interested in the script that is responsible for serving the pages, it is written in Perl5, is some 170 lines long and is bad code that needs to be rewritten in Haiku.

What's this blog ?

Okay, I already see the questions coming :

a. What’s this blog ?
b. Why not using Wordpress like everyone else ?
c. What more does it have ?
d. Obi-Wan Kenobi ?

So :

a. I’m using Chronicle to power this blog.
b. Because I was looking for something clean, simple and efficient, because I want to be able to edit every entry by hand, using either a simple nano by ssh or a subversion repository.
c. No database.
d. Yup !

To post articles to this blog, I rely on two systems : A text editor and Subversion. Simple, efficient, flexible. The only thing I have to do is type in any text editor and then commit the file. The script will compile the blog just after the commit and Magic involved publish it.

I really hope nobody ever saw the previous blogs ! Hum … ;-)

Okay, so once again I wanted to start a blog to share / store every small things I have lost in my bookmarks.

In my bookmarks are links to virtually everything that has been useful in my system, with notes on how to apply these configurations stored everywhere. Now I want to have someplace where I can order all that and share with anyone interested.
