Remember Weblogs? Yes!

Welcome to my blog! This is the initial post in what I hope will come to be a non-trivial amount. I expect to be posting mainly on tech topics. Apple and Web tech are things that I work with and use a lot, so I'm aiming to write a bit about those. But of course, I will tag some things as off-topic occasionally revolving around food or coffee.

Design?

Yes, I am a creative person, and do enjoy art and design. However, for the web design of this weblog, I've chosen to put a cap on the energy and effort. I'm satisfied with the basic design so far, and hopefully it will improve over time. If you notice any accessibility issues please contact me and I would love to resolve them quickly.

The Tech Behind the Blog

In keeping with the theme, I figured I'd mingle web and Swift. The blog is a statically published website using:

• The slick Publish static site generator.
• Site-specific generation and theme written in Swift.
• Hand-written HTML / CSS template and layout
• Automated Github Actions CI deployment to an S3 bucket sitting behind CloudFront.

TODO

I still need to incorporate some sort of code formatting mechanism and display to be able to share non-eye-hurting code samples. That may need to be prioritized against writing some more content, and making progress on my other projects and products I have going.

Thanks for reading!
