From WordPress to Jekyll
If you are a return visitor to my blog you might have noticed that it recently became faster - quite a bit faster, actually. This is because I finally put in the effort to migrate from WordPress to Jekyll. This blog is now entirely hosted on Amazon S3 and served via Amazon Cloudfront.
2013 – A year in review
This is my annual ‘year in review’ post for 2013. I always enjoy looking back at these posts and seeing a summary of my year.

2012 – A year in review

How to start a Programming Blog
I started my blog a little over 2 years ago.
