About

This blog is maintained by a certain Michael. A moderate effort would allow someone to ascertain the surname, but I don’t especially care about that anymore; I’ve long considered it somewhere between open secret (sense, information freely available but not widely known) and open secret (sense, information widely known but not openly acknowledged) to anyone who might care to seek it: it is the witch’s one-times-one. If a person decides to track me down on account of this blog, it would be a mild annoyance, but not significantly moreso than any other person tracking me down, I’d think, after all.

The blog runs on Hakyll, partly because Hakyll is excellent, but mostly because I find it fun to tinker with. It is, in any case, significantly more configurable than, say, Blogger or an Edublogs Wordpress blog, and its configuration more frequently presents, to me, interesting problems rather than obnoxious obstacles.

This is a static blog, and an unfortunate consequence of this is that it thus can’t natively support comments. But since comments are so important to the blog medium, external support is integrated: the comments are (perhaps unfortunately) powered by Disqus. They could, perhaps, be integrated more effectively, of course.

If some other critically important feature is missing, I should be able to implement it; I’ve implemented only everything I consider to be important for a blog.
