# Building overhaul

Apart from the switch to a more _night friendly_ site style-sheet I've also now switch to a new build system for my not-a-blog.
Full script at the bottom. [Repo link](https://gitlab.com/shockrah/site-generator).

The nice thing about this new script? Way more features, more _unixy_ so it ends up being really straight forward to use, oh and it has a nice name now **gensite**. The only major dependency it has is `pandoc` but I'm slowly going to phase that out for another script which accomplishes the same thing so far; it just can't do tables yet.

Anyway I've been messing about with more shell scripting things as I've been _ded_ for nearly 3 weeks on account of a really epic eye infection which has left me needing glasses.
