Why a website those are ancient!

They are! But they're very easy to make and host these days and you own everything on it and can back it up and keep it. This one is hosted on Neocities and it's just a whole load of HTML generated using a Python script I wrote. I can keep everything on my own PC and also backed up online. That way I'm not concerned with some website going under or being abandoned because it's full of fascists. I can just upload the html somewhere else. I could have set up Wordpress somewhere but I don't really need that for the level of what I want from a website. Simple HTML does the job just fine. I think this doesn't display well on mobile but what site does anymore? That battle was lost a long time ago so just read this on a laptop or PC as the internet was intended to be browsed.

Another reason: I'm probably not the only person to have noticed how many friends have moved away from social media these days so I thought this would be a way for those people to keep up with what I'm up to and a way for me to share what I am doing without relying on those platforms. Those are my reasons and I will not be elaborating further on them.

There's still a few things to fix up. I have to write all the pages that have links at the top for a start and I'll probably be tweaking the layout and fonts etc. as I go.

What can you expect?

I will be sharing any upcoming shows I have like Auto-Correbt & Friends on May 1st and probably shows my friends have on that I think will be good. I'll share things I have been playing, watching & reading that I think are good too that'll probably be in a roundup every now and again.

A quick list of broader topics I want to write about...

Hivemind

A live show that's also a game I created with my friend Mark. I'll talk about how it works on a technical level and also what a nightmare some of it was to make.

Game Development w/ Godot

I'm currently working on a 3D Stealth game and really enjoying using Godot for it. I used it for Hivemind too so there's lots I've learned.

How I made this website

It's nothing too fancy or technically involved but an interesting mashing together of things to generate an entire static website that seems like it might have something proper behind it. Yes I know static site generators exist but sometimes it's fun to do something just for the fun of it even if a solution already exists.

Photography

I bought a film camera recently, my first one! I haven't even gotten through a roll of film yet but wanna talk about what that's been like for someone who learned how to shoot only digitally over the past 20 years.
