Moving to Github Pages

I'm in the process of migrating this blog to github pages. I find that using blogger as my medium complicates my workflow.

With github pages, I can use pelican to build my blog and push the output to a repo on github, which then shows up on the page.

However, with blogger, I need to convert the output to HTML, load it into my clipboard, open blogger and create a new post. Even a nice bash function only takes me so far as Google's API requires authentication with OAuth. And their Python wrapper doesn't support Python 3.

If I were building my blog through a web interface, that's one thing. But I'm not. I like being able to issue one or two short commands in bash to do everything. So, blogger, I bid you adieu. I hope you do well. But I'm ending this relationship because of you and your stubbornness.
