Site Info

This website is Open Source

The Name

I believe Awesome
to be the journey, and not
the destination.

In all of my doing,
my goal: Awesome. Thus I am
Becoming Awesome.

Philosophy

I realize it probably seems strange for a personal website to have a “philosophy,” but this site was designed with some goals in mind.

In the creation of this site, I strived for simplicity and control. From the layout of the site down to the OS involved (which I was already using, but hey, it fits! ;D), it is small, simple, and powerful.

The result is a static site, with a minimalist layout. Hopefully one you don’t have to think too much about using.

Server

Location

This server is currently located in my apartment at RIT. It has a (theoretically) 100/10mbit link, which I find more than suitable for now. In the future I may go with slicehost or ask CSH for a VM (but I’d have to take the time to create an Arch Linux image :P)

Specs

The server is custom built by me. It has a quad core AMD running at 2.4ghz per core, with 4GB of RAM. It runs Arch Linux x86_64. Pages are served to you by the lovely i"Nginx":http://nginx.net/.

Site Generation

This site is generated by Jekyll. The content for the site is marked up in Textile or is written in XHTML by hand

Layout/CSS

The layout was designed and written out by me in LessCSS.

Other Tools

The entire site was written in Vim, through zsh, through Awesome WM or screen, on Arch Linux 64. <3 terminal.
