This blog is being rebooted today. To begin with, after mulling over it for several days, I’ve migrated the setup to an static Octopress site. Mephisto, while nice, was going nowhere for lack of maintenance. And after discovering that one can easily migrate from Mephisto to a Jekyll-based system like Octopress, it was a done deal.
Octopress also has niceties for hackers, like powerful code embedding options. It’s still a bit difficult to blog from a smartphone, but that is just a matter of time, in my opinion.
So, over the following days, the archives will be markdown-ified and the comments will be enabled. But let’s mark today –a day almost, but not quite, entirely unlike any other in the year- as the day of the reboot.
