Today I finally spent some time setting up a personal website (if you’re looking for a good template, I recommend Academic for Hugo - it was really easy to setup).
Why am I doing this? Because I’m on Twitter and the word is that PhD students are supposed to do it.
PhD students on twitter, please put a link to your web page on your profile!

In all seriousness, I should have done it before but somehow I kept finding good excuses not to.
Going back to Academic, I’m writing this with standard Markdown, so for example I could highlight code:
nc towel.blinkenlights.nl 23
But what’s more interesting is to be able to:
$$(a \sqcup b) \sqcup c = a \sqcup (b \sqcup c)$$
The Writing content section in the documentation of Academic has more useful tips!
I’ve had a different website hosted on GitHub Pages for quite some time, but never gave it any use. History tends to repeat itself, but let’s hope this time is different!
