+
+So I've written an static site generator.
+
+Yes, yes I know. That's what everybody does, it's boring and not
+original at all. But I'm boring and not original at all, so it's ok !
+
+I did it in C. Why ?!, you ask with a mix of fear and disgust. Well,
+two main reasons. First, I kind of always liked C (although I have
+little knowledge of programming in general and C in particular). And
+second, since I joined the OpenBSD team I've been wanting to dive a bit
+deeper in the source code of the system (not just ports) and maybe one
+day help in that area too. That and also I'm a bit masochist xD
+
+Previously my small website was generated by the excellent [ssg
+script][1] by Roman Zolotarev combined with a simple makefile. And that
+was all I needed. The makefile also published things on my gopherhole.
+
+So I basically designed the static site generator to have the same
+functionalities (well, not the gopherhole, that is just handled with an
+rsync).
+
+Now a git hook calls the generator program (and the rsync for gopher),
+and all is good again.
+
+If you want to take a peek, I published it [here][2]. The horrors
+you'll see there may make you cry. I decline all responsibility xD
+
+Keep in mind that this is my first program in C (well, the first one
+longer than 50 lines and with more than one function), also keep in mind
+that I'm no developer. I'm used to create ugly glue stuff in various
+languages to serve my purposes, but this is my first command line tool
+that does something useful (kind of).
+
+As usual, patches are welcome at <patches@e1e0.net> and comments at
+<commens@e1e0.net>
+
+:wq
