Okay, I already see the questions coming :

* a. What's this blog ?
* b. Why not using Wordpress like everyone else ?
* c. What more does it have ?
* d. Obi-Wan Kenobi ?

So :

* a. I'm using <a href='http://www.steve.org.uk/Software/chronicle/'>Chronicle</a> to power this blog.
* b. Because I was looking for something clean, simple and efficient, because I want to be able to edit every entry by hand, using either a simple nano by ssh or a subversion repository.
* c. No database.
* d. Yup !

To post articles to this blog, I rely on two systems : A text editor and Subversion. Simple, efficient, flexible.
The only thing I have to do is type in any text editor and then commit the file. The script will compile the blog just after the commit and *Magic involved* publish it.

Anything else ?
