about

Insert standard smugly self-deprecating ironical statement about why I thought I needed a place to publish occasional rants and ramblings.

It's also a place to publish occasional experiments in computing that may be of interest or use to a wider audience.

Ellie's old page still exists; but it's just for the old movies, which will get put onto flickr at some point.

When ellie was 1, I was her primary caretaker for a year. I did a Daddy blog about the experience. I did an update 13 years later.

The site is using Ruby, and Dropbox. Content is in markdown in private folders in Dropbox, which is read and turned into templated html. So I can easily post and edit blog articles from my phone. Pointlessly cool. I used node.js originally, but never finished that system. I prefer simple tools.
