The New SSS Blog

Greetings All!

Welcome to my new blog, built with the Franklin.jl package and the Julia programming language. It should be quicker than the old WordPress-based site, and I learned a lot during the process of setting it up.

In addition to my travel, photography, cycling, and programming posts, I intend to write posts that are speculative. These posts are "devil's advocate" posts – that is, they contain content I may not completely (or even mostly) believe. They are intended to get the reader thinking. Agree, disagree, partially agree, all reactions are acceptable apart from apathy.

A question you may have is, "Why should I bother reading your posts?" For those who don't know me (and perhaps for those who do), I offer the following:

Not convinced? Well, try reading some of the posts (which you can see by clicking on the "Blog" link above).

I've kept the original site where you can view blog posts prior to 2022. Click the link to go back in time.

One of the downsides of a less complex blog system is the lack of an easy way to implement a comment system. I will post a link to any new post on my Facebook page, so if you have a burning desire to comment, you can do it there.

I hope to add functionality to the site as I go along. In the meantime ... enjoy!
