    "update": "As promised, I am going to upload the first piece. I had been writing this piece while in campus, but you don't need all the dirt. Basically, the story behind this is that I lost a substancial amount of data from my hard drive, including some pieces I had written before. So, thats how this one was born. I walk around with the entire plot line up in my head, so I should probably finish it.",

    "update": "I wanted to have my twitter profile's timeline on this homepage, for twitter updates, however the guy won't load when embedded in a markdown document. When I tested it on clean HTML, it worked fine. I have filled a feedback form and sent it to Twitter though. Meanwhile, I will see what I can do to make it work. For those interested on checking out twitter widgets and how they work, I'll live a link below for the publishing website.

    "update": "A'ight, finally. This has been the trickiest one to pull through yet. Its all JS from the fetching of the <md-span>`md`</md-span> files to the rendering. Just finished the bare minimum but maan thats hours of thinking to make it what it is now. I need bug reports and perfomance analysis so I'll really appreciate your feedback.  <md-span>`PS: Actual content is coming soon, keep the tab open.`</md-span>",

    "update": "Ok, so I mentioned that news was becoming tricky to finesse, at least for me. Anyway, forget about all those 'md-span' stuff. I needed news to be dynamic - the content to change based on date by default, or based on the URL. Essentially, this is how a news site works, but with my rather simple model of rendering markdown based on hashchange, news would have had a single static page - and it does, but in a very quirky way. I coded a couple of models including some ExpressJS apps, till my battery ran out, and all of them conflicted with my main goal - simplicty. I'll post an update on how I managed to get news up and running while maintaining the overall simplicy.",
