Small is beautiful. This is especially true for software, as you can
tailor the code exactly to your needs. I tried several times to build
a blog engine, but was always dissatisfied by the
complexity. Deploying is a problem too. I don't want to run a fat
rails process for a small blog like this. The solution was a finally a
tiny script, which renders text files to static web pages. The biggest
advantage is, that I can edit my articles and templates in Emacs and
easily extend the software in Ruby.
