The /colophon page is a page that describes how the site is made, with what tools, supporting what technologies.

But my method is that every week (mostly Sundays) I sit there in front of the tv, write my weeknote and spend a least 30 working on something else on this site. Sometimes that something else, is another page like this one and sometimes it’s a draft of a blog post. ...
