The beginning of a series on issues of workflow. This one focusing on file formats and why I do most of my writing in Markdown now.

For anyone interested in getting Arch Linux on their MacBook Pro, a simple Google search will come up with many guides, Q&As, blog posts, and wiki entries. My intention in writing this is not to add more noise to this cacophony of advice or to reinvent the wheel. It’s just that in the process of getting a distro of GNU/Linux up on my machine in a way that works for me, I had to deviate a bit from the other recommendations out there. This entry is as much for myself—when the day comes that by necessity or by whim I need to install Arch again—as it is for anyone else curious about taking on such a task.

It’s taken a long time to get this site up. Not because it was difficult but because I’ve been looking for right setup. I had a WordPress site for a little while, but I feel it was overkill. I don’t blog that much, and I wanted a little more control over the layout and theming. So, I had thought of doing just a static webpage. I’ve done it before, but that takes a lot of work.
