History

In the past, I’ve had brief dalliances with Google Sites and Windows Spaces, but nowadays I mostly avoid big hairy website engines. I’ve also built my own content management systems, powered by Perl, or Ruby, or GNU Makefiles and M4.

For the longest time, this site was built with Jekyll. I’ve also used Bootstrap for styling for a while.

• look-13.01 codename SIGBUS

  In January 2013, I tidied up a lot: I migrated away from Bootstrap, Glyphicons and Pandoc in my website build, and had a fairly major patch (faster_lsi) integrated into Jekyll. I switched to Kramdown for the Markdown transform, and wrote my own style sheets.

• look-13.02 codename SIGSEGV

• look-13.03 codename SIGSYS

  In February and March I cleaned up the styles, for look-13.02 and look-13.03, SIGSEGV and SIGSYS, respectively.

• look-13.05 codename SIGPIPE/reboot

  In May I switched back to Twitter Bootstrap, now version 2.3, for the styling and theming.

• look-13.08 codename SIGALRM

  Over the three months before this update, I’d been doing a variety of odd web design jobs, culminating in the construction of the Alpine Charters website. I learned a lot of things about doing web construction right during this time, and integrated them into the first major revamp of the styles and content in a while. The changes were so big, in fact, that I even bothered to branch the Git repo that I keep this site in, to hack on.

• look-13.09 codename SIGTERM

  My aim this time around was to use what I’d learned on various site design jobs in the last month to simplify and clean up the page layout, while making the site blend together neatly.

• look-14.01 codename SIGURG

  I had a poke at Bootstrap, and got something that works, but doesn’t look like Bootstrap. I wanted to lighten and tidy up the page layout; the content fonts are Lato and TeX Gyre Pagella.

• look-17.01 codename space

  I developed an intentionally extremely minimal stylesheet for my public repository of university notes, from my study at UNSW. I decided to pull those up onto my website, while tidying them up a bit. No Bootstrap at all!

• look-18.02 codename space-E

  I revisited the “Bootstrap components without looking like generic Bootstrap” strategy, and also gave up on dealing with my overgrown Makefile-and-M4-driven horror. I switched back to Jekyll, and cleaned up a lot.

• look-22.02 codename space-F

  A slight variation on what came before; but this time, to accommodate switching to Ikiwiki.

Art

Many years ago, every page in this site included photographs — but I did away with that pretty quickly. I took nearly all those photos; and all had come from my family photo library, made of over a hundred gigabytes of photos taken over around fifteen years on a wide range of Olympus, Canon, and Sony cameras.
