About

Blog

This site is created and published with a static blogging system in emacs org-mode, developed by Bastian Bechthold.* It is hosted by my email provider, Fastmail.com, using the storage available in the account, and with the associated constraints (no server-side scripting or database). Since I have avoided using JavaScript and kept the coding as simple as possible, this conforms pretty much to the definition of a Small Web site, though perhaps not so scrupulously.

A note for those who may follow the blog by RSS: Whereas the news feed picks up the first iteration of a post, I tend to do a lot of editing after publishing, especially during the first 24 hours. Sorry about that.

Posts are often sent also to a Fediverse (address below). If you wish to make a public comment, the only way to do so is to reply there.
