Signals from dceccon's space is an old idea born more or less 15 years ago.
The first time I tried to write a personal web page the result was a blog. But like many and many other blogs after the start enthusiasm it was difficult keep updated.

I failed many times, but I have also learned a lot.

First, maintain a blog is a huge work. Do it only for passion require a lot of time and a very big passion.
Second, site content need to be aligned with something that you do every day.
Third, determinate a good site by content and not by style.

And I'm here. 2025 with a new energy and many ideas for restart to write.

signals

Idea behind this site is to write and try to formalize many personal ideas.
For me this is very important. The main scope is not to show my best solution for a problem but evaluate and show a possible solution that I have found.

And it's most likely not the best solution :D

This is the reason behind the site name "signals". A want to transmit something that I have elaborate, like a spacecraft to space center.
So, you can't find comments in the articles. But if someone wants to notify me about some issue or annotation is possible open an issue on this project.

dceccon's space

dceccon it was my username at university laboratories and after many years I like-it :D
"Space" is related what kind of topics I want to cover. I think to write mainly about embedded projects. I'm a developer, so my focus is related applications and how an application is managed during the time: from start to delivery.

But not only embedded I see.

The technologies behind this site, for example, is something new for me that I like to try and make me more comfortable to use.
Also write in "English" is an exercise :lol:
For this reason I'm totally open to any suggest for improving my work.

Ah! This "space" and all the work behind is totally free. No one pay me for write and I don't do activity to make money.

Technologies behind this project

Oh yes, this is a space where I speak about software technologies so is time to describe how this site is build.

Pelican

My idea of site is simple: it must be minimal and the content easily accessible.

After many tests I have found in pelican (getpelican.com) the perfect solution for me.
Pelican is a free-software for generating static sites based on Python.
Site contents can be to write in Markdown or reStructuredText syntax and pelican translate to a valid HTML format (have a look to W3C validator link to confirm).
This is good for me for many reasons:

1. Site can be re-host in any other place;
2. I don't need to setup a CI for build or run the site;
3. I can write and debug site locally.

Have a look to this project README file if you want to have a quick overview about how pelican work.
A full features documentation can be found on pelican site: docs.getpelican.com.

Conclusion

I think this is a good start point for this project/adventure.
Just only for make this site I have understood how much the internet services are evolved in the last 15 years and that's so good!

So, let's start!
