This is an explanation of the tools and methods used to keep these pages running like a well-oiled machine.
The site is hosted with Github Pages, which uses Jekyll as the underlying site creation framework.
Jekyll takes files written in HTML, Liquid Markup, and the Markdown to generate static web pages.
Source data for the daily logs come from the following:
- Apple Health since 1 Nov 2023 for the heart and step data from my Apple Watch Ultra;
- FitBit for heart data prior to 1 Nov 2023;
- Foursquare Swarm since 31 Dec 2023 for manual location check-ins;
- Bouncie since 14 Apr 2023 for vehicle tracking;
- Overland is a continuous GPS tracking app for iOS that I'm in the process of incorporating. My main concern with it is that continuously having the GPS running is a drain on battery life, and my thinking here is that I may instead use a small GPS tracker (like a Garmin eTrex SE or eTrex Solar) that has a multiple-day battery life for this purpose.
The daily logs are generated each day using the Wolfram Engine
