arachne
Arachne* is the generator that renders this site.
struct
Arachne parses files called tomes written in custom Indental and Runic formats and renders static web pages. Additional data is derived from my time-tracker and Intra databases.

Do more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing.
—R. Buckminster Fuller, Nine Chains to the Moon
Efficiency is the ratio of tomes to web pages. A 1:1 ratio means I might as well manually type HTML. The dream is a self-documenting wiki with minimal to no input.
history
Here are some of the site’s previous iterations. I never can seem to settle. I’m happy with the one you’re browsing now, but I’ll probably change it again later.
