JOURNAL

13/11/24

Y'know when you just have one of those weeks? That's happening now, this very week at my work. So much crazyness... adding to the general crazyness in the wider world right now.

Making this site is a bit of a refuge right now! It feels a bit like building something with Lego. Methodical, kinda relaxing when it's going well, and really satisfying as it all comes together. I remember this feeling from when i used to make websites. It's nice.

First Journal! I've been hard at work making this site (a bit obsessively) the last week. I am LOVING this format again, after all these years. I was there in the beginning! Or thereabouts. Does being online making fan shrines during the dialup days count?

I actually have stuff saved from back then, too. Over the course of creating and running this site, I'll hopefully upload some of the stuff if it seems useful or nostalgic to others.

Creating a site this way is really delightful after working with modern websites. I've seen web design slowly get more and more features added, stripping away the control, the creativity. I'm slowly relearning everything, as the last time I probably coded html properly was in the Wordpress heyday, so like more than a decade?

Whats this site going to be? At the moment, I really have no idea. I am honestly just doing whatever, relearning, and creating plans as I go. I am really excited by the prospect of having this site up as well as maintaining my 'professional' modern one, and just being free to do as I please with this space.
