2026-01-25: A Flurry of Activity! 🎉

Today marks a significant milestone: the revival and complete overhaul of my blog! After a long hiatus, I've embarked on a major migration from Jekyll to Zola, breathing new life into this corner of the internet. Here’s a quick rundown of the whirlwind of changes:

• Zola Migration & Theme Adoption: Successfully moved to the blazing-fast Zola static site generator, adopting the sleek anemone theme.
• Content Overhaul: Restructured all blog posts into a clean content/blog/ directory, standardized front matter for consistency (dates, lowercase tags, [extra] fields), and fixed all those pesky /public/ image links.
• New Articles Galore: Published a series of new posts reflecting on my journey:
  • My personal Jekyll to Zola migration and how Gemini CLI streamlined the process.
  • Reflections on past tech trends with deep dives into the rise and fall of Coinhive and HashFlare.
  • Introduced my very own Quoty CLI tool, a fun solution for better Git commit messages.
  • Shared a personal reflection on my blogging hiatus and inspiration, connecting it to my dotfiles project.
• Site Enhancements: Updated the homepage and about page to reflect this new content, added contextual footnotes to outdated technical articles, and fortified the build process by ensuring Git submodules are always up-to-date.
• Code Polish: Ran Prettier across all Markdown files for consistent formatting.

It's been a busy day, but the blog feels fresh, fast, and ready for new adventures!
