Blogger: G6
It's just past 1am as I type this. Christina is curled up next to me in bed, trying to sleep, but I'm still up, hacking away at this site. This site, my labour of love now for more than a decade has just undergone its sixth update.
Mostly a face-lift, version 6 of my blogger now sports a sexy new image gallery and a pretty template that should make it easier to read stuff.
Technically speaking, I'm running Django 1.7.x now, and I've dropped support for the built-in comments framework (as it was deprecated already) in favour of a custom system that supports markdown properly. There's also tonnes of UX changes, and I've switched to Bootstrap 3 for all of it.
Please take a look around and let me know what you think, and if you find any bugs, please let me know.

Your new site looks nice, but a little plain (may I say sterile, but not in an offensive way). I miss the pretty pictures.

Which pretty pictures? There's basically no difference, save for the content of the recent blog posts. The image gallery on the other hand is much prettier now.

the pretty pictures on the top by the menu where your blog's name is located. i don't know geekspeak. so all i can think of is, the banner of pics that used to rest up at the top of your website. it does look less cluttered and cleaner without it though.

Ah yeah, that. I rather miss that too, (I was browsing through archive.org a while ago and was mildly entertained by some of my old designs in there). The truth is though, it was a lot of work to maintain and curate the list of photos that could be in the header and this is just easier :-(
