Colophon
Site
This site is static HTML that's built using Eleventy, and a custom theme built by starting with no CSS whatsoever and working up from there. Once it got past a certain point, I bullied Claude into tidying it up. I'm not sure why I even started the process of implementing the site this way, but these are the end results.
Content
The content is a mishmash of odd posts from the last twenty-something years. This isn't an archive of my entire life, or even an attempt at a best-of, so posts frequently get thrown away
Hosting & deployment
All the code sits in a repo on Github, and the site is hosted on Render. The Render daemon watches the repo and automagically deploys whenever I make a git push. It just works, so I'm very happy with Render as a hosting service.
Writing
On my Mac, I'm using VS Code and raw Git on the command line. On my phone I've got a homebrewed app that Claude put together for me which provides one-tap posting of photos and posts.
Analytics
There's very basic Cloudflare analytics just to keep track of things. I'm not really that bothered about tracking traffic, and web analytics is something I touch so infrequently that trying to figure out (again) how to make it work "properly" is more trouble than it's worth.
