I was using github's cool Github Page feature, where you can push a git repository to them, and they'll automatically create a web site out of it. The thing is, after you do the push, it goes into a queue, and some random time later depending on how busy github is the push will be processed to actually publish the changes. I found it was breaking my flow; the first thing I want to do when I publish something or write some instructions "go here and get this" is to try it and make sure that it's actually working. Nothing against github, it just wasn't a good fit for my particular work pattern.
I'm also slowly automating the hack documentation, so while naturally I do want to keep the source under version control it's just an extra step to have the generated HTML also in a git repository.
And I have aspirations of someday making this into a web app where anyone can publish their hacks, so it couldn't stay on github forever anyway.
I plan to still push the hacks to github, that way if my personal server goes down people won't be stuck waiting for me to fix it.
