Starting Over First Post New Blog

Welcome To My Blog

This is perhaps the start of a blog I am going to create here. I use Vim, R, Nvim-R and I wanted to leverage my existing skill set rather than learn a whole new WIMP approach to blog creation. So had a chat with my good friend George Peter Thompson and he suggested that I use Hugo and R to create content on GitHub Pages.

Why This Page Exists

I have made various attempts to start blogs over the years mostly on WordPress but have never been satisfied with the creation process. I did use vimpress for a while but eventually deserted it. Now I want to have a place to post mainly stuff I would have posted on WordPress in the past. However it was important that:

  1. I can create in Vim
  2. I can embed R and python chunks
  3. I can integrate it with GitHub
  4. That the platform has some opensource credentials and a commitment to community over capitalism. (Modulo the fact that everyone should be benefit from their efforts and be able to hopefully make a living somehow). Though the rampant greed of modern capitalism that is destroying the planet and enslaving billions to line the pockets of a few narcissistic, billionaire, megalomaniacs and authoritarian despots, saddens me and I would like to support that as little as possible.
