The current iteration of this blog runs on an "engine" called Nanoc. Nanoc, you say?
nanoc is a static site generator, fit for building anything from a small personal blog to a large corporate web site.
The keywords here is "static site generator". This means that I build/generate the site locally on my machine, and then push it to a server on the internets for all you to see. There's no dynamic site running, built in PHP or ruby or whatever. Just plain HTML files, some CSS, a bit of Javascript and some images or videos.
