Colophon

I created this site from the ground with the following tools and minimalism in mind:

Static Generator:

Jekyll using Poole as a reference site.

Markdown Parser:

kramdown, with GitHub Flavored Markdown enabled.

Tag Generator:

Jekyll Tag Page Generator plugin. After the migration to GitHub I ditched the Tage Page Generator plugin for a static tag page. My old implementation is forked on GitHub.

Style:

Bootstrap for a consistent and minimal framework, with some customizations.

Fonts:

Lato font for the Header, through the Google Fonts API.

Art:

Ionicons on the landing page.

The site is self hosted on a Crissic Virtual Private Server using nginx as a web server and pushed through rsync hosted on GitHub and pushed through SourceTree from Windows. The authoring is done on Windows with notepad2-mod gVim.
