It's been nearly a year since I last posted on this blog. Oops.
In my defence, I've spent a lot of that last year working on mastodon.radio[1], a twitter-like social network for the Amateur Radio community. I should write about that too...
I've been inspired by a range of other cool blogs and websites I've seen in the last year that are static, or very minimal in both design and code. That, plus the ongoing burden of maintaining wordpress, has made me want to move towards a simpler website, one that hopefully loads faster, and is generally easier to use and maintain.
At the moment, I'm experimenting with hexo[2] to generate this site, and if you are reading this on m0yng.uk then I have already moved wordpress off, and put the static/generated site that hexo made in its place.
Migrating the content from wordpress wasn't too bad, a helpful plugin (hexo-migrator-wordpress) did most of the work, then I just needed to manaully tidy up the lack of line breaks, links, and images, that hadn't been touched in the migration. Oh, and download the images from the old site to put into the new.
For now I'm using the cactus[3] theme, I might look at rolling my own in the future, but I suspect that will never happen, and this theme is pretty close to what I'd like anyway.

Hopefully the next post on here will be a companion to the talk I gave at CARA this week on APRS. I don't plan to replicate the whole talk, but I think there are bits that could be expanded on more (e.g. specifics of my setup) and things that I wasn't able to show properly on the night (because for some reason none of my images worked.)
Let's hope that does happen, and the next post isn't in a year with the title "I should post more often".
