I did this mostly while staying inside Emacs and switching to the web browser every now and then.</p> <p> Doing this required me to use Emacs to edit and manage multiple files at once and this post demonstrates a few of these techniques. The post is therefore mostly task agnostic and the techniques explained here should be usable for any such tasks.</p> https://umarahmad.xyz/blog/setting-up-the-blog-again/ Sat, 23 Jan 2021 19:39:03 +0530 https://umarahmad.xyz/blog/setting-up-the-blog-again/ <p> I recently acquired <a href="https://umarahmad.xyz">umarahmad.xyz</a> and moved my old blog there.</p> <p> The earlier version of this blog was based on octopress with a lot of handcrafted code. The architecture of octopress along with my excitement of setting up the blog made this a cocktail of all possible plugins and tweaks that I could manage to squeeze into a static site. Copy pasted rake snippets and hacked together web and ruby code gave me what I wanted at the time. I was happy with that.</p>
