Now I have my own space on the interwebs!</p> <p>I’m currently using <a href="http://jekyllrb.com/">Jekyll</a> to take my posts, written in <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">markdown</a>, and auto-generate a static website. Then I upload the files to Amazon <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/s3/">S3</a> and let it do what it does best: serve static content for pennies a gigabyte. I love this setup so far because it affords me complete control over my domain, yet it is dirt cheap.</p> <p>This website is version controlled on <a href="https://github.com/positron/philipjagielski.com">github</a>, so feel free to send me pull requests for spelling and grammar corrections, or anything else! The web sure has come a long way since I wrote my first php blog in 2005. Back then, the coolest feature I created was auto-updating comments inspired by this new-fangled tech <a href="http://www.developer.com/design/article.php/3526681/AJAX-Asynchronous-Java--XML.htm">gmail was using</a>!</p>
