Colophon

Autocento of the breakfast table is a hypertextual exploration of the clockwork of inspiration, revision, and obsession. It represents a compilation of most of my writing, linked together along thematic lines into a sort of whole. It lives on the web. Instead of hand-coding all of the HTML files you’re reading now, I’ve relied on a process that leverages open-source technologies to publish my work onto a web platform.

The source files are authored in Vim using an extended version of Markdown. It’s compiled into the HTML you’re reading, as well as a few other formats, with Pandoc, a document-conversion tool. The site is hosted on Github and Namecheap. You can view the repository at http://github.com/duckwork/autocento.

I use a Makefile to compile the text source files into HTML, and to generate a series of appendices and other site functionality with the help of a compilation shell script.

I use this system because it’s fairly simple, extensible, and open. It’s available for anyone to examine, learn from, and use. See the license for more details.
