Website Colophon

Wondering what goes into creating a website like this? This page is for you.

Technology

Here’s the tech stack I used for this site:

  • Hugo - used to generate the static website.
  • Tailwindcss - used for the utility-first CSS approach, with my own custom CSS added.
  • Alpine.js - used for the bits of Javascript functionality on this site.
  • Google Fonts - used for fonts.
  • Github Pages - used to host this site.
  • Matomo - used for privacy-respecting analytics (self-hosted).

Source code for this website is available in the Github repository.

Visuals

I designed the pages in Lunacy (A great tool, but I don’t really care for the name) and created whatever other mockups and graphics were necessary myself using a combination of Blender, GIMP, and Affinity Designer.

Text

Given the proliferation of “AI” written posts lately, I believe it’s important to be upfront and make a distinction between who (or what) is writing.

All text on this website is my own writing, written by me, a human. I will sometimes run the text through spell and grammar check, but I choose to not use “AI chatbots” to either write or assist me in writing or research.

Now you know who to blame. :)
