About the blog
What I write about
Random musings about books, computers, tabletop role-playing games, and miscellaneous bits.
Tools I use to write
All the text is written using Emacs in reStructuredText and formatted by Docutils. The blog software used to be PyBloxsom, but after a hiatus, I moved everything to Nikola. The Colophon has more details.
Emacs is still the best editor that I've found.
reStructuredText hits the sweet spot between simple text markup on the one hand and well structured and good looking output in a multitude of formats on the other hand.
