My Blog

A blog about Linux and programming

Me

My name is Gary. I'm a software developer who lives in Glasgow. In my spare time I enjoy tinkering with Java and C, and also the new tools in the web world like TypeScript.

I run Linux on all my home machines and servers and find fun in configuring and managing Linux systems. Also breaking them.

This website

I built this website using a bunch of Gulp tasks which compile and arrange my posts into a listing. The code is written in TypeScript and I write the posts themselves in Markdown with the help of marked.

The Swig templating library was used to provide base templates for the various layouts needed throughout the website, and SASS was used to style it (along with skeletoncss). For syntax highlighting I used highlight.js.

The favicon is from PICOL.

You can see the source code for it all here.
