Blog
It's been a while. And that's not to say I don't enjoy writing. But Wordpress as been out for a very long time and PHP has not been all that great for me. I needed a new blog of my own making. And until now the right level of simplicity and high level of functionality was never really there.
Python and Ruby were some of my favorite languages to program in the last few decades, but there was always lots of cases where you would have to run some code through layers of HTML, CSS and Javascript abstraction to generate the site you wanted. Throwing an additional language in there and bloated frameworks add a lot of complexity. Lightweight Javascript solutions have now taken my attention, being able to run one language on the server and in the browser is an appealing notion. At least for now, until the World Wide Web isn't entirely about these technologies built into the web browser, running JS and an easy front end setup like Tailwind makes things light and easy.
But enough about technology. I'm sure you are wondering what this blog is all about, and for me I'm not all that sure what it will become. A random stream of thoughts and ramblings? I do enjoy coding and building things but also really into learning about our past and genealogy, video games, sports and whatever other thoughts are in my head. Buckle up and enjoy, I hope this morphs and changes as we go along and the experience and interaction gets better and better.
