What's your website about?
I think ever since I got a computer with access to the internet I wanted to make a website. Websites, though,
are pretty annoying to make, especially when you're 8 and you don't know what a "html" is and think CSS stands
for Counter-Strike: Source. Eventually, I learned more programming skills, and had some unfruitful attempts,
but then eventually I kept trying and... gave up.
Yeah. Making websites is hard. But now I'm older, wiser, and actually understand CSS properly. No, that's a lie.
CSS is straight trash, and we should all abandon it forever and ever. But whatever. Anyway, I was a lurker on
Neocities for a while, and I really liked the idea of making my own website again. Especially now with things like
large language models (for the layman, that's ChatGPT), libraries like TailwindCSS, it's never been easier, really.
Not that I'm using Tailwind. No, I hate myself, so this website is pure HTML and CSS.
OK, back to the subject.
This website is mostly a personal blog, and a bit more. It's my portfolio, my place to make announcements on my
projects (if they don't have Discord servers), and my home on the internet. I also usually have a lot on my mind,
which I want to share with a larger collective, that's too long for places like Twitter (though I don't use it
anymore - thanks Elon).
I've been a firm believer that the internet has been on a decline recently, and that's primarily because of the fact
that it's been too heavily monopolized by Big Evil Corporations, like Meta, Twitter, Google, and others. The internet
is completely open - it always has been. The internet protocol is completely available for anyone to see. Foundations
like Mozilla and GNU are at the forefront of this, and I will always be grateful for them. I'd really love to contribute
to their work one day, but I'm not so smart as the maintainers of those projects.
So, to celebrate the old spirit of the early World Wibe Web, I've set up my own website. I don't see why more people don't
do so - it's pretty cute and I think it's so great that everyone on earth (with a web browser and an internet connection)
can see and know who I am. A little joy in this big sad world.
Who's haunted?
haunted is the other contributor on this website and a long-standing friend. I let them run their own blog and shitpost here as well.
Here's a little section by them:
hello, hi, my name is haunted. i'm an enjoyer of many things such as writing from time to time, making a mockery of music and consuming
energy drinks. the thing i love most though is listening to music, which is why i'm part of the 0.05% of type o negative listeners. i
also am the worst idea ever machine™️ for kona2. i take pictures sometimes and edit them to look bad, 'cause i looked at sematary album
covers and thought they looked cool.
i obsess over games, a lot. if i really like something, such as hotline miami or whatever, more often than not, i 100% it even if it's
the most agonising task i've done. currently fixated on POSTAL 2 and DMC4.
still figuring out myself and drifting through the life that i live and hoping for change, but i try to stay positive. i aspire to be
as good as kona2 with computers someday.
even still, we are who we choose to be, and you chose to read this, so hii welcome to our blog, enjoy your stay.
