Replace the Swift site generator with a Ruby and Phlex implementation. Loads site and projects from TOML, derive site metadata from posts. Migrate from make to bake and add standardrb and code coverage tasks. Update CI and docs to match the new workflow, and remove unused assets/dependencies plus obsolete tooling.

How's this for an update: I'm working in Munich for the summer at a European search engine called <a href="http://www.seekport.co.uk/">Seekport</a>. The search engine isn't all they do, as right now I'm programming a desktop widget that shows live scores & news from World Cup matches (in English and Arabic). I'm building it on top of the <a href="http://widgets.yahoo.com/">Yahoo! Widget Engine</a> because it needs to run on Windows. Even though I quite like the Y! Engine, I would still prefer to be coding in straight HTML, CSS & JavaScript like Dashboard programmers get to use. The Y! Engine uses XML (it is somewhat HTML-like) and JavaScript.

The place I'm living in is like a dormitory for younger people. I share a bathroom & kitchen with a German guy named Sebastian who is 21 and an artist; a stonecutter actually. I only met him briefly yesterday, but he seems nice. I'm going to teach him English, and he'll teach me German, though his English is much better than my German. It's a pretty quiet place, and we get breakfast included, dinner can be bought for €2,50, and Internet access is included as well. I brought my Mac Mini with me, and as soon as I find an AC adapter I'll be ready to go with the 'net at home. I probably won't blog again until then, since I'm at work right now.

Germany is great so far, and as soon as I get learning some German I'll be a much happier person. I consider it rude of me to expect everyone to converse with me in English, like I have to do right now.

(Oh, and they sell beer by the litre in Germany! They call it a maß.)
