Pages

Korny home page

I have a basic home page here - though mostly it’s a pointer to my korny.info pages.

Dr K Sietsma pages

I have added some pages about my Grandfather, Dr Kornelis Sietsma - a great man, sadly killed by the Nazis for preaching against the abuses of power. A translation of his biography, and other related pages, are linked from the above page.

Site history

This site has been around a long time, but doesn’t have much content at the moment. The first site dates back to around 2000, then it was rebuilt in 2009, then again in 2015 I rebuilt it slowly from scratch - mainly as the css here was embarrassing, and I wanted to put up pages for my upcoming wedding!

And now it’s 2024, the wedding was marvellous, but the pages were pretty out of date! I have yet again reworked it - using Jekyll as I want something simple to maintain for my once-every-5-years effort.

If you want something here

If you are a Sietsma, and you want a link or some simple (markdown and images) content here, e-mail me and I’d be happy to help set it up.

If you are technical - the site is all in Markdown rendered with Jekyll, the source code is at https://github.com/kornysietsma/sietsma-site - and I’m happy to accept simple pull requests.
