+## why?
+previously my website was hosted on GitHub pages using Jekyll. I found this to
+be really cumbersome to use, hated relying on themes and hated the slew of
+dependencies needed to get it working.
+
+I'm using [discount](https://github.com/Orc/discount) to generate the markdown
+for the pages, until I roll my own markdown implementation. I don't like using
+that either, but it beats Jekyll
