Much ado about alot

From software to hardware and back again.

First Shot, Part Deux

So, almost 7 months later I’ve finally managed to drag myself into a blog posting “position”. Hopefully this wont be the pattern for how long it will be between posts. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say, it’s more that I have too much to say and can never bear the thought of writing all of it down. Note to self: just write some of it down, then!

And now taking up the thread from the first post: Jekyll was the blogging engine I found which made me want to write a blog again. Then I was derailed, got mixed up with bad boys like nanoc and Nesta CMS and ended up just being confused. What should I choose?

Octopress came to my rescue! I had looked at it before, but that was pre-2.0 days. Now it just shines with great design and a lot of great features. One of the greatest are the very nice options for sharing code snippets…my code has never looked better! And it is still Jekyll-based.

Now it is just finding out the theme for the next post. What about saying something about how to get Chef to work properly under Windows, with package management and all?
