My old lady

I used to enjoy riding MX bikes when I was young (it was the good old times of David Bailey, Ron Lechien and Jean-Michel Bayle).
In 1996, RealLife(TM) kept me away from this hobby and from my last motorcycle, a KX 500, which entered hibernation a this time.
But now that 4 stroke rule the MX world (and that global warming ended up the process), I pulled my 25 years old girl out of the garage and now it's time for her to roar again. Yes, if I still can handle it, but let's not stick to details.
Rear break, rear suspension, air, fuel and exhaust systems are already restored, and I'm currently working during my spare time on the transmission and the front brake. Once finished, she'll be ready to taste the mud again :)

Here we go again

After a few years offline, here I come again, with a flat CMS this time (which is better than a flat tire).

I took advantage of this comeback to do a bit of computing (which unfortunately I hardly do anymore), by looking at flat CMS. You know, those without database.

So I've tried quite a lot of these flat CMS, I won't list all of them here (those interested can check this page for example). Most of them ... I couldn't even get them running (do struggles with httpd.conf and .htaccess ring any bells?).

For those who at least deigned to display something, I spent long hours playing with Grav, but I should say struggling, it's now official that I definitively ain't a Markdown fan. So Grav's a no-go. WonderCMS nearly took my heart (awesome complexity vs functionality ratio), but I met too many problems when trying to generate some content. But for once, perseverance seemed to have paid, because I think I found the winner in the person of HTMLy.

So now I'm officially HTMLy powered (and I don't miss databases, that reminds me of work), it's up to me to fill it...

ps: for those who would not have guessed it, English is not my native language but I love to believe that I can write it. So thank you for being indulgent, by squinting your eyes 99 times out of 100 I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I meant :)
