----- permalink: about title: About type: page ----- H3RALD.com was created in 2004 by Fabio Cevasco, a system architect, technical writer, programmer and IT enthusiast. It features over a hundred "articles":/archives/ covering a wide range of topics, from programming to writing, productivity and traveling. As of version 8, H3RALD.com is a completely static web site, except for a few AJAX calls. All the files are generated automatically thanks to the "nanoc":http://nanoc.stoneship.org/ publishing system, an ingenious creation of "Denis Defreyne":http://www.stoneship.org/. Nanoc can be used to easily create static web sites using Ruby, as explained in "this article":http://www.h3rald.com/articles/take-back-your-site-with-nanoc/. The following ruby libraries (gems) are used to compile this web site: * "nanoc":https://rubygems.org/gems/nanoc, to generate the entire web site * "Extlib":https://rubygems.org/gems/extlib, in some custom Rake tasks * "BB-Ruby":https://rubygems.org/gems/bb-ruby, for BBCode support * "Builder":https://rubygems.org/gems/builder/, to create RSS and ATOM feeds * "Less":https://rubygems.org/gems/less/, for the SASS filter * "The Ruby Racer":https://rubygems.org/gems/therubyracer, to execute Javascript code (needed by Less) * "RedCloth":https://rubygems.org/gems/redcloth/, for Textile support * "RDiscount":https://rubygems.org/gems/rdiscount, for Markdown support * "Glyph":https://rubygems.org/gems/glyph, for Glyph support |
