SIMPLEBLOB

My Notebook — kept since 2013

Welcome to my personal website. I use this site as an extension of my memory. Being online makes it handy when I need to reference something.

I’m the main user, but I hope the information here can be useful to other people. That’s why it’s on GitHub. Also, hosting is free.

The site uses Python, Pandoc, and Markdown for content. We’ll see how it goes.

— simpleblob, Tokyo

A small red-brick cottage with a mossy tiled roof, squeezed between grey Tokyo office towers and bright shop signs at dusk; office workers walk past on the pavement.
Plate I.“I live in a small hut in the middle of Tokyo, Japan.”
