i'm currently in the process of retiring my old wordpress site and setting up a smaller, leaner site. there's multiple reasons for this:

• it's easier to just write in a local document instead of going through a UI that screams at you to update something everytime you visit it
• i want to make an effort to write more, and lowering the barrier to do so is a win!
• i want to be in control of my website, not wrangle with a CMS to do what i could do myself faster
• building a website is fun!?

tech

the site is using eleventy, which is pretty fun to use! glad to see learning nunjucks in university was not a waste after all! so now I just build the site locally, then push my changes to my git repo, the web server gets notified and pulls the updated files. cool! actually i'm writing this paragraph to test if the auto-deploy works, so wish me luck!

i'm waiting for you to wish me luck

now i'm deploying

it worked, hell yeah!

things left to-do:

• [x] add favicon
• [ ] migrate portfolio
  • [x] text
  • [x] portfolio images
  • [x] new titles
  • [x] CSS
• [x] setup RSS feed (lives here!)
• [ ] retire old website
