The engine that powers this website is one of my own design, NEF. NEF is a
|
|
$(wc -c < $0)-byte POSIX shell script, the absolute minimum I could manage to
|
|
put in an <abbr title="static site generator">SSG</abbr>. In fact, here's the
|
|
whole thing:
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>$(awk '{ gsub("&", "\\&") gsub("<", "\\<") gsub(">", "\\>")
|
|
print }' $0)</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
Of course, all it <em>really</em> does is get you set up — I've added much
|
|
more to it for this site. You can see my source code
|
|
<a href="https://tildegit.org/acdw/acdw.net">at its repo</a>, if you want.
|
|
You can copy it too, as long as you follow the
|
|
<a href="${ROOT}/.license.html">license</a>.

@h2 me

|
I like the idea of combining "about me" pages with colophons (though
|
|
I <em>don't</em> like this plural of <i>colophon</i>; I would've thought it'd be
|
|
something cooler, like <i>octopodes</i>): I played a major part in creating this
|
|
webpage, after all, and it'd be very different if I weren't involved!
|
|
|
|
I was born in a holler in East Tennessee. I was an adult for quite a while
|
|
before I fully realized it was a holler I was born in; I think now of fish and
|
|
the water. Speaking of water, there was a creek across the road, which we'd go
|
|
and watch crawdads in. There was (still is as far as I know) a mulberry tree
|
|
next to the barn that we'd pick as many mulberries from as we could before the
|
|
birds ate the rest. I climbed a lot of trees in those days, at home.
|
|
|
|
I went to school too, of course, and a number of extracurriculars like anyone
|
|
might. Eventually, I went to college and got a degree in writing, then to
|
|
another college for another degree in writing. I met my wife and we got
|
|
married. We have two dogs and we live in a house in Louisiana.
|
|
|
|
I don't know what else to say about myself. I guess if you'd like to know me
|
|
better, read more of this website or my other writing; if you'd still like to
|
|
know me better you can send me an email; if you'd still like to know me better
|
|
... well, let's start with the email.

@h2 a note on the typeface
|
|
|
|
In <a href="${ROOT}/S/acdw.css">my site's CSS</a>, I define fonts simply
|
|
as <code>monospace</code>, <code>serif</code>, and <code>sans-serif</code>, or
|
|
the default fonts for your system. I spent a lot of time with previous
|
|
iterations of this site putzing around with different fonts, trying to figure
|
|
out how best to load them, where to put them, what formats to use, etc., but
|
|
then I realized that what I tell patrons regarding their resumé holds true for a
|
|
website as well: it really doesn't matter as long as it's readable. So I just
|
|
use the defaults.
|
|
|
|
That means that if my website is ugly to you, <em>it's your fault</em>. Take
|
|
some pride in this nightmare rectangle you spend increasingly more of your time
|
|
staring at! Change the default fonts of your browser! Here, I'll even show you
|
|
