Strongly Typed

Our internet connection on the vanpool isn't fast enough to do any actual work remotely (using NX) so I decided I'd use that time to update this site. While looking for info on the Mephisto's use of Liquid I noticed that there was a new version out, now available through Git rather than SVN. As a result I spent some time learning about Git and moving my repository for this site over to it. So far so good. Migrating from SVN was extremely easy thanks to this write-up by Patrick Lenz.

After following the steps there you'll just need to update your deploy.rb to use git and your git respository - very straightforward. I'll post an article on using Git on Site5 (my shared host provider) soon.

I also finally finished the theme that I'd started last year. The colors are all borrowed from the Simpla theme since I'm an engineer and that's just not something I'm good at. The layout is my own, however. Writing a theme actually turned out to be easier than I thought.
