Cody's Site

A small side project I’ve been involved in is the website for the Wellington Cannon Society. They’re a cool group of people, and the vernacular account of the legend of the Armstrong Moa on the site is worth reading.

I’ve decided to resurrect my website. Actual content may, perhaps, arrive shortly.

I’ve recently been using the excellent Confluence wiki software, which uses a variant of the Textile markup language. I’ve been quite impressed. Traditionally the choice has been between manually writing a document using a “full” markup language such as HTML, or using an editor which automated the process. Both choices had significant drawbacks. Writing a document in Textile is fast, and it’s automatically converted into valid XHTML. What’s not to like?

I’ve been itching to play with Textile a bit more, so this seemed like the perfect excuse. So far, so good.
