Writing the site
This site exists to act as a collection for essays I've written. It also has various notes I've made that I hope will be useful to other people.
In the spirit of learning how things work under the hood, the original version here was handwritten html. This then gave way to PHP scripts, which then gave way to Python scripts generating HTML, after which I decided to just use Drupal. It's still fascinating platform to play with, and I would heartily recommend it. Drupal gives me tools such as great syntax highlighting and page version tracking without me writing code.
