Partly to learn and partly because I like to be in control I wrote my own webserver. It started out as a very simple file server but now implements quite a few features. It also now cooperates to some degree with another project of mine, a simple templating engine.

You can store files directly in MongoDB documents, however there is a limit of 16MB and the Meteor DDP protocol might not be up to the task.

What follows is a description with code examples of how to do this a different way while still enforcing access rights.

This site is built using my own software since I was tired of jumping through the hoops using blogging engines such as Hexo, Jekyll and Octopress. There was always some problem, mainly because I forgot how to add posts or modify the site everytime I thought of adding to the site. I forgot how to deploy, or I forgot how to easily set it up on a new computer, or there other problems such as code highlighting etc. This might have something to do with me not always reading the manual too carefully, however in any case at long last I managed to put something together myself that I think will suit me for a while.

A cheatsheet of often used org markup used on this site with examples of rendered html followed by the markup used.

Clojure is wonderful, being able to use ClojureScript in the browser even more so, however setting up a development environment is a pain in the ass. On top of this what's considered best practice is still changing from almost month to month.

Because of this I intend to document here as accurately as I can the process for getting a working environment in Emacs for both Clojure and ClojureScript. This is going to be a working document where I will update the procedure I use myself on an ongoing basis. In general I will be noting instructions to install the most recent verions of software and scripts. Mostly this is a description of how, not so much of why, but I'll try to include links to more info where relevant.
