As is quite obvious, this site has changed layout for the first time in many years.

Its been shifted away from Wordpress and is now a Jekyll-powered github hosted blog. The change is in part due to some learning from a side project, and in part because it was in dire need of a refresh.

A few things I’ve learned from this are:

  • Learning a new platform is always educational
  • Markdown is easier than HTML and is closer to how I think as a programmer, so a blog that supports that is great.
  • Minimalism is so in right now.

Hopefully all this means more writing, especiallally about the work on Aristotle Metadata Registry side and blog, but also with other metadata and programming issues I’ve been tackling.

For the time being the old site is still accessible on nearlyfreespeech, but will be going down in a month or so and I’ll be migrating the sandbox projects soon after. If you notice anything missing or find any broken links contact me through any of the means in the footer.
