This blog currently runs on PyBlosxom 1.53, running atop Apache HTTP Server 2.2. It is hosted on a virtual CentOS Linux server provided by ChunkHost.
Individual posts are edited in Markdown format, using the MacDown editor on a Macintosh. They are translated to HTML via a shell script that does some reformatting and vets the output using Tidy. Images are edited, when necessary, using Acorn and NetPBM. Autodesk Graphic is used for vector graphics.
Most of the not-quite dynamic sidebar content is produced by really small Python scripts running from cron, generating tiny HTML fragments that are transcluded into the pages at rendertime. This allows the flexibility of dynamic page generation with the benefits of static performance. More discussion of this technique here.

Caroline, 1999-2005
We had to say goodbye to Caroline, our lop rabbit, today. She’d been quite ill for several months, and it was clear that she wasn’t going to be getting any better and she was suffering. I’ll miss her wiggling little nose. We had a good run, little girl!
She, like all my pets, has a human name, because I refuse to name any pet "Spot" or "Fluffy" or "Patches."
My favorite set of pictures of her.
