title: "New year, new site" | ||

Ever since my (now former) hosting provider, | ||
[Greenqloud](https://www.greenqloud.com/), changed directions back last | ||
September and shutdown its public cloud offering, my site has been in a | ||
state of limbo. My lack of any posts for over a year didn't help the | ||
matter either. So I did what any rational person would(n't) do. I yanked | ||
the cord, brushed up on my Ruby and Liquid, and rebuilt the whole thing | ||
from scratch. | ||
|
||
That's what you are seeing right now. A new site for a new year. Is it any | ||
better? Probably not. It's different though, I'll let you decide: | ||

Best features of the new site? I really like that I now have the following | ||
things: | ||
|
||
- A dedicated photos section. I like having everything self-hosted and in | ||
one place. | ||
|
||
- The about page has the version information for the software used to | ||
build the site. | ||
|
||
- Both the HTML and PDF versions of my CV are perfectly synced up thanks | ||
to [Pandoc](http://pandoc.org). | ||
|
||
- The revision history of a post is extracted from git and shown under | ||
each one. Why? Because I can. | ||
|
||
I'm also changing the focus of content on this website. I intend to use it | ||
as a running list of interesting software tweaks and solutions that I've | ||
found useful and I want to keep track of. I would also like to have more | ||
exploratory posts where I dive into interesting problems. | ||
|
||
Most importantly, everyone's favorite hypotrochoid is still featured on | ||
the site. New year, new site, same hypotrochoid. |
