I fear not the man who has practiced ten thousand kicks once, I fear the man who has practiced one kick ten thousand times. - Bruce Lee

What is this place?

This is the personal home of aaron griffin - a father, husband, software engineer, judoka, and miscellaneous player of games. I miss the internet days of yore, so this is my attempt to be a part of the indieweb considering how I feel about websites in general.

If you find anything useful here, it is pure coincidence.

Yeah, but who are you?

Really, I’m no one of any import. But for a while (roughly 2007-2020), I was in charge of the Arch Linux distribution, and helped drive it to the current fame along with many other invested parties.

I also play and make tabletop RPGs. I’ve published a supplement in print, though that was ages ago.

Aside from that, I’m big into fitness, lifting, and dabble in judo on the side. For a time I was the head moderator of r/Fitness but reddit itself became a little too toxic for my tastes.

What will I find here?

Honestly, I don’t know. I’ve tried the whole blogging/journaling thing a lot, but I rarely feel like I have anything useful to say.

How did you make it?

This is a series of markdown files with yaml headers, and a simple python generator to spit out some html hosted on gitlab pages. I write and edit through GitJournal on android or vim and git on a Linux/Mac terminal.
