一二三四-->Making This Site 11-13-2017
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+So you've stumbled on this ugly looking site and are wondering what the hell it
+is? Well I'll have you know that it looks like this on purpose! This a static
+site where the main content is text and the occasional picture, any styling I
+put on here is just bloat. It makes no sense to serve 1 megabyte pages just to
+deliver a couple kilobytes of text. After some experimentation I've decided to
+make this site as close to plaintext as possible.
+
+So how does this all work? Well first of all I'm not hosting this by myself,
+I'm using github.io to host this. Everything you see on this site comes from
+a git repo found here: <a href="https://github.com/knolax/hairydiode">https://github.com/knolax/hairydiode</a>.
+This has some limitations however, with the way my domain registrar is set up,
+this site can't be HTTPS(or I haven't figured out how yet); and since github
+isn't exactly a CDN, image loading is a little slow.
+
+So how do I acheive this "wonderful" web-brutalist asthetic? Well to start off
+I write the pages in <a href="https://github.com/knolax/hairydiode/tree/master/cont">cont/</a>. What I write is for the most part plaintext, with
+the exception of links and images. Then I run a script <a href="https://github.com/knolax/hairydiode/blob/master/gen.sh">《gen.sh》</a>that appends
+headers and footers to what I write to make it an acceptable HTML page. The
+results are put in the root directory of the repo, and served up to you by
+github's servers when I push my changes.
