My static micro blog experiment is going better than expected. Generation is
still around 25 seconds hot on my old laptop
[as like the last time](https://micro.thedroneely.com/m/tdro/messages/skin/).
Well.. sneakily it's closer to a semi--constant 5~10 seconds by tricking
[`hugo`](https://gohugo.io/) into outputting empty
[base templates](https://gohugo.io/templates/base/#define-the-base-template)
which "can" result in mostly reads by writing files that have changed (might
make a blog post about this).

This blog becomes mostly complete (minus the sharp edges) when there's an
archiving strategy on the paginator --- basically a ghetto queue.
