This is the obligatory post about how the new blogging system works. Isn't that exciting?

By my standards, this is a fairly simple system. It is based on ikiwiki, which allows me to use org-mode to edit my posts and git as the version control system. Since I already know those tools, I don't have to think about them and can just focus on writing.

I'm less comfortable with making web pages look nice, but I took the CSS file from the nice people at antportal.com and added my own panoramic photo that I took while hiking. I think the output is simple and looks pretty good.

Finally, I am currently hosting the pages on github.

The blog is currently called "Hiking and Coding". So far I've only written about the latter, but I'm planning some posts about the former. My current objective is to write once a day as a way to solidify what I'm thinking about for the day, so my posts will likely be about what I'm working on. As such, expect them to be really boring. I'm okay with that. I'm also okay with you not subscribing.

I will try to write about adventures I had while hiking on days that I'm not really working on anything. Those posts will be tagged with the hiking tag. They might be more exciting (though they might not).
