I did it. I switched over from Wordpress to a completely static site: there is no more PHP (or Ruby or Python or anything other than static files) here.
I got super fed up with Wordpress the other day when I realized that the Markdown plugin I had been using was completely screwing with my line-endings (essentially running nl2br() on my posts). Rude. I could have messed with the source myself, but I got really nauseous doing that with my own custom theme hacks I did a while back. Combine that with the litany of Wordpress attacks out there and my general disdain for the WP codebase (and that I never supported nor plan on supporting comments), I figured this was inevitable.
I worked for a while on my own static site generator, but then I stumbled across Jekyll and was immediately impressed. It has support for Markdown, syntax highlighting (although its syntax highlighter and its Markdown engine are awkward together), and LaTeX:

Of course Jekyll didn’t do everything I needed it to out of the box, so I forked it (and renamed its binary “rjekyll” because I’m creative). The main difference between the original and my fork is proper pagination and a few tweaks to the Pygments highlighting delegation.
Getting it all set up and running was a bit of a hassle and probably deserves its own post, but it actually wouldn’t be too hard for anyone to do given enough time.
