Great, but old, article about the JavaScript Module Pattern

If you’re not using the module pattern in your JavaScript files, you should. Take a look at this article.

New Jekyll Website

Just fresh off the press. Been messing with Jekyll the past couple of weeks and this is the result. Jekyll + Bootstrap hosted directly on GitHub pages. No more dealing with databases and queries for my personal site and just using markdown syntax for blogging.

I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now but just couldn’t find the right time. Previously, I’ve tried scriptogr.am but the Dropbox integration was really buggy and their web-based theming UI was a nightmare to work with.

With Jekyll, I can develop the site’s layout, post a new blog entry, or update my About or Resume page and just push directly to GitHub without any hassle of using a dumb web user interface.

So there you have it. I’m still going to mess around a bit in the coming weeks/months with the templating language and see what I can add with minimal design efforts.
