I started toying around with a little side microblog because I miss being able to open a browser and make a post. I've used Pelican to generate this static site for a couple years now and I think I'm ready to move back to a web publisher.

I wanted to try and revive Anchor CMS, but I don't have the PHP skills to refactor something so large. I'm comfortable in Python, so I'm extending my homepage, which already uses Flask, to have a blog path. There's a lot to do, but it's something I can pick away here and there in the evenings. It's fun to rethink this space every now and then. I think this will be a good move overall.

Hoo boy the blog hasn't gotten much in it this summer. I think this is becoming a more annual tradition, where it goes dark from May til late August. We're outside a lot and I don't really have much happening in my mind while I take a break from school.

I'll be on a camping trip next week, so there will be a post following that with pictures. Then, I get back into school mode the third week of August and I'm sure that will propmt some writing.

Anyways, I'm still here. This isn't dead. I'll be back...eventually.
