Starting my new academic page
Archived blog post, originally published on 26 April 2020.
So here is my first blog post, switching from an old static website generator to a new one called Hugo and a theme called Academic. I started creating static sites in 2015 with a generator integrated with GitHub called Jekyll, hosted for free using GitHub Pages. For the techies among you, the move happened with this very commit.
I think my old website will still be accessible in the future using the Wayback Machine, if you want some details on how it was previously built — beware: as soon as you click the link, you will be travelling back in time! Click here if you dare. For those of you who are afraid to click, and that is understandable (you would not want to be lost in a parallel universe, would you), you will notice a slight difference in the URL of the website. Indeed, I used HTTP and not HTTPS — remember that the S stands for Secured, what a crazy idea. As Google wrote in a post back in 2018, a secure web is here to stay.
Since then the site moved again — twice. It now runs on Quarto, which is at least consistent with the rest of my teaching material.
