This site has been a thing of neglect. I've been looking at it from afar thinking about how I should just put it out of its misery. It was written in PHP in a self rolled MVC framework many years ago. At the time I was happy with what I accomplished with it, and I learned a lot from doing it all myself, but it's not aged well.
So I've redone it from the ground up in ASP.NET Core MVC. It uses markdown for the blog entry now instead of my own parser, it includes a list of my 5 most recently worked on projects in the nav, and has a much more basic front end design. I've gotten rid of all the Javascript because I don't really need it. The design is a bit ugly, but I'll get round to investing some more time in it at some point (yeah, right).
I'm hoping with this much simpler setup that I will write down some of the more interesting challenges I've had to overcome and their solutions. There's a few things I've had to do that I wanted to write about, but didn't want to deal with the website. How's that for bad software? Let's just hope I've not forgotten what I wanted to write.
