Welcome Ladies and Gentleman, to the brand spanking new Stacked Notion! If this is not what you were looking here, may I redirect you to the worlds directory service?
Back to the site, the main problems I had with the old site was that it a) had an awful design that messed up code and images and b) I wanted to expand the site so that it isn’t just a blog. With Wordpress doing this can get complicated. I want to create more of a ‘brand’ for myself, and hence link up all the stuff I work on through this site.
A few of the things I want on this site include:
- A blog (obviously)
- Projects I am working on
- Networking (Twitter)
The projects one is the main feature I require. I want to have everything I work on in one place, to create a portfolio of sorts. Most of the code I write nowadays is available on GitHub, and for technical networking I use Twitter. Then there are these posts. It is all related, however not linked up, so thats the plan!
New Codes
Rather than using Wordpress (which to be honest I never really liked), I decided to roll my own blog software. I didn’t need anything fancy so went for simple, everything is served up from HAML formatted documents on the filesystem. These are parsed by a few bits of code (using the Sinatra framework), and tada! Inspiration for most of this came from ToolmanTim, and the codes are available in the StackedNotion GitHub project.
