<p>I'm giving a head's up that my site is going to undergo a massive
|
|
migration (relatively) soon. I'm going to be changing servers, and I
|
|
would like to take advantage of the situation to also change the base
|
|
technology I'm using for my website.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For quite some time I've been using PHP, which has provided me with
|
|
quite a bit of stability. But I've started to notice how much of a
|
|
hassle it is, and how vulnerable some of the information that is not on
|
|
my home computer is (e.g. my blog posts). It's also always been somewhat
|
|
of a mess. I feel like I'm using a cannon to kill a fly. So in my quest
|
|
to minimize the complexity of the technologies I use as much as
|
|
possible, I've decided to switch to using a static site generator.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I'll write another blog post at some point on both the issue of
|
|
minimizing technological complexity, and the technologies I'll be using
|
|
for my website. But the important thing to note is that a lot of links
|
|
are going to be broken. Basically everything except the home page. I'm
|
|
still unsure as to when this is going to happen, I still have to finish
|
|
porting my website (including all the blog posts), and setting up the
|
|
new server. After that, I'll likely make the switch as soon as
|
|
possible.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I know that this is probably a hassle for whomever reads my blog (the
|
|
select few), especially since I had already done this last year. But
|
|
hopefully this is the last time I have to do this... for maybe the next
|
|
few years instead.</p>
