So using a static site engine was more an exercise in getting back to basics. I’ve used Wordpress and other blogging patforms. I’ve used a variety of flat file and database driven CMS’s. I’ve built from the ground up using writing my own structure or using Foundation, Skeleton and Bootstrap. I’m not saying that any of those things are wrong. There’s no doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t have the comfort I do moving to a static site engine without having experienced the nuances of other systems....

I’m sure that on this day there are many people listening to, humming or just thinking about David Bowie. It was a shock to hear of his passing this morning and I’d like to think that the world senses the loss of his amazing impact on our society over the last few decades. His pioneering creativity will always continue to inspire me.
