RSS Feed & other shenanigans

In leiu of trying to get the website looking just a touch fancier, I've taken some time to actually work on the scripts I'll use to get everything off the ground.

I've initialized my local side with several bash scripts to handle automatic filename blog post creation (in markdown) alongisde uploading the latest converted (to html as txt) file.

iscript      //< interactive FTP environment
makeblog     //< auto filename based on date (loads up EVi too)
createrss    //< self-explanatory
updaterss    //< adds the latest converted blog to rss feed XML
staticgen.py //< poor attempt at md->html

Despite all the flailing about, I think the infrastructure is now here to use going forward. Some more blog posts will be needed to ensure there isn't any long-term issues or oversights from doing this level of automation.

C'est la vie /shrug/
