On a recent visit to Sydney I came across a newsagency that sold items that seemed to be of a higher quality or calibre than your standard, run-of-the-mill stationery items. I found a stand that contained a range of Blackwing Pencils. Blackwing are either iconic or cultic (depending if you like them or not).
This particular newsagency had a range of Blackwings including the standard, 602, Pearl and the 725. I opted for a Pearl and set of replacement erasers. The Blackwing Pearl has been sharpened but is yet to be put to any significant work.
After a bit of testing, fiddling and pondering I’ve decided to opt for Hugo as my CMS. It’s flat file, a single executable, multi-platform (which only needs to cover GNU-Linux and Windows in my stable), lightweight, well documented and has a swag of themes.
We’re ready to roll…
Over the years I’ve created and maintained a number of websites and/or blogs. The first was created in the free space offered by my then dial-up ISP. It was called “The Lounge Room” and comprised of a collection of anecdotes and stories I’d read. It was all hand-coded html.
My second site was another hand-coded html site called “Sandprints in my Mind”. It was my first attempt at what some might call a blog. It comprised some photographs and the odd book review. Because of the effort in maintaining it, it only lasted a few posts.
