Hello and welcome to my new website

I have been experimenting with various blog and content management systems recently and started to get really sick of how heavy most of them are.

Next, I decided to build my own blog engine. First using Ruby on Rails, which was great, I am familiar with Rails and development went fast. But then I stopped and looked at what I had created and realized that I was also creating another overweight CMS.

I decided to downsize, being a ruby programmer Sinatra was the obvious choice. I started hacking away at a lovely little git powered site and I was pretty happy with it.

This was going to be the platform on which I would run this site!

But one day, I came across this TINY blog engine called Toto. Toto is build straight on rack, no Rails, no Sinatra, no bloat. After looking through the source code, I loved it. I know that this little blog/CMS engine was simple and I like that.
