 **tl;dr** I added search with a couple of Python scripts ([here](https://github.com/HalfWayMan/blakerain.com/blob/master/populate-db.py) and [here](https://github.com/HalfWayMan/blakerain.com/blob/master/simple-search.py)).

 I've recently had the pleasure of writing some user-space code that takes control of an Ethernet card – specifically the [Intel i350](https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/59062/intel-ethernet-server-adapter-i350-t2.html) and it's kin. Part of the interface with the device requires sharing memory that contains packet descriptors and buffers. The device uses this memory for the communication of transmitted and received Ethernet packets.

 Recently I've been experimenting with various garbage collection implementations, with an eye towards one of my possible future projects. This has lead me down all manner of paths, many of them false, and all of them great fun. One particular approach stuck with me for quite some time after I had abandoned it, so I thought I would share this approach.

 I've recently been tinkering with the serverless approach to application development and hosting. I decided to change this website to an entirely static site. However I didn't want to just use a GitHub repository of Markdown files, preferring to maintain some of the advantages of the Ghost CMS.
