This site is now on jameshfisher.com

This blog has been hosted at jameshfisher.github.io since I started it in November last year. Last month I bought the domain jameshfisher.com, which I’m going to use for this blog. Here’s the process:

Set up a CNAME from www.jameshfisher.com to jameshfisher.github.io
In the settings for github.com/jameshfisher/jameshfisher.github.io, inform GitHub of your custom domain

Unfortunately, GitHub can’t host your custom domain with HTTPS. They don’t accept TLS certificate uploads. (This is another case where it would be simpler if HTTPS was configured with DNS; I could just set my public key in DNS to that of GitHub.) To get HTTPS, I’m planning to move the blog hosting to Netlify instead.

You’ll lose weight with differential equations. And you might just qualify for the Olympics with a bit of statistics!
