Migration from blogger to Jekyll (hosted on github)

I’ve updated the underlying blog hosted on blogger to jekyll hosted on github.
Migrating the content was fairly easy. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to migrate previous comments, it will now be hosted on disqus. The one advantage I have now is being able to write content with markdown instead of html which made things a bit more difficult. Plus everything is just a file now. I will eventually start using the jekyll provided rogue feature for syntax highlighting.

Eventually I’ll look into some theming as well, or leave it as is, nice and clean.
