This site is built with Hugo using a customized version of the Bear Cub theme. Theme changes include custom colors and fonts, small layout changes, and the addition of post summaries on the home page.

All pages and posts are written using GNU Emacs and the awesome org-mode package and markup. Export to Markdown and Hugo supported layout is done with the ox-hugo Org exporter backend.

Design

The hope for the design was to be as light as possible. I found inspiration from Ploum and Harman Martinus’ Bear Blog.

Colors are derived from Prot’s ef-themes Emacs themes, mainly the maris-light and maris-dark versions. My own Emacs setup using the ef-day and ef-night themes from the same package.

The primary text font is IBM Plex hosted by Google Fonts. Headings render with the Geometric Humanist font list. At some point this may change to remove the Google Fonts depdency, but the IBM Plex family and Avenir are two of my personal favorite fonts.

Hosting

Hosting is provided by the included the Fastmail file storage and web hosting support. Fastmail has been my e-mail provider for close to 15 years and they have been excellent. Maybe one day this site will outgrow the static hosting, but for now it works.
