About this blog

This site is a depository of some texts I have written about programming. Most, if not all, of them are random opinions and observations.

Writting things down and documenting helps me order my thoughs. Publishing these notes makes them conveniently available if I want to check them. In that regard, I am both the author and the only intented user of this content. If any of it is of interest to anybody else, so much the better, but use it at your own risk.

Another motivation is that I wanted to set up my own publishing system:

All texts are written in Markdown format and converted to HTML with pandoc. Some parts of the output are altered using sed. This process is implemented with a couple of relatively simple bash scripts. Publishing is done with rsync. There are a couple of simple git hooks to automate parts of this workflow, but it is basically triggered with a bash command.

Since I write infrequently, there is little need to automate it much further. I try to avoid bloating, as well, so I can build and serve the whole site with minimal requirements. It can be hosted anywhere, as long as it can serve static content.

Regarding the contents, any and all opinions are strictly my own, unless referencing other works or quoting other people. I try to always credit authors explicitly and provide links to the source, when possible.

By citing, referencing, or to linking external sources I do not endorse any opinion, nor use of the material, contained therein. Copyrights, trademarks, patents and any other form of “intellectual property” or rights remain with their holders.
