Changes to my website setup

Spending a few days up north made it apparent just how inconvenient my setup was for updating this site while out of the house. My static site generator runs on a local "server" (just an old Macbook Pro that's always on) on my home network.

I didn't have a solution for feeding it files and triggering a site update while out of the house. Now I do. I went with the simplest solution I could think of: Just use iCloud Drive for syncing content.

So far it seems to work OK. I do need to make some small changes to my monitoring script. To account for sync time and my mobile workflow.

Will see if I can get around to doing a full write-up of my setup eventually.
