Hi Brett, I'm very interested in the script you're using to generate your Web Excursions posts. I would like to include links one-by-one rather than after an accumulation of five, but I'm not sure how you're having it generate the static HTML (Markdown?) and then ignore that link in Pinboard from that point on.
Cheers,
Robert
If you'll allow me, I'm rather curious about a back end process of your site. When you unveiled your current Jekyll incarnation, I already expressed my concern about Jekyll not being able to generate incremental builds. AFAICT this feature was first requested for some 4 years ago, but - according to the devs - will most likely not be implemented very soon.
In a previous post you've described using Growl to be kept informed about the site's build. You've said : 'my Jekyll build takes a while'.
Perhaps you could comment on this issue from a personal perpective ? Is it true that any edit - correcting a typo for instance - necessitates a complete site generation?
I'm looking forward to your comments!
It does, and it takes about 6 minutes to generate all of the posts, indexes, tag relationships and search files. In my case, I so rarely have any breaking news that it's fine for me, and I don't lose traffic in the six minutes it takes to fix a mistake. However, for any kind of news site I would consider it a no-go.
Thank you for your prompt reply and your candour.
I had recently seen these benchmarks : https://github.com/mojombo/... but could not believe them to be true.
Site generation speed is an issue for me and I'm currently taking a long hard look at a new kid on the block, Hugo : http://hugo.spf13.com/
No incremental builds, but promising blazing speed.
