What is me?
I was originally going to use my personal website as a base for blogging, linking off to my other places on the web, maybe showcasing some of my work. Typical web presence for someone in my line of work and with my interests.
I’ve been in web development for 9 years, and I just cannot be bothered maintaining all that crap anymore. Screw it.
I’m not doing anything interesting enough to build a following at this point in time, nor am I in the market for work. Frankly, the exercise seems kinda torturous to me — putting an obligatory effort into setting things up. At most my website is being used to impress friends and family, or their friends or family, sort by distinct conversation having max interestingness.
So why having anything there at all? Because pride. As a devout worshiper of Pretty Things and Fine Thought, I can’t have an empty message representing my .com. And yet, I’m also not a company in any sense of the word… that TLD choice feels archaic today.
My own name is archaic. I have so much trouble conveying my email address due to my surname and the word “mail” being the prefix (seriously, why would it be male? it’s obviously mail), I’m thinking the next one is going to be built out of NATO alphabet words.
The choices are a bit… underwhelming. Although it looks like only Alfa, Juliett and Victor could be spelt differently so at least they’ll be easy to convey. Still, this is an f-ugly list of words.
So my website needs to continue being a static simple thingo. It looks like this platform Medium has an API so hopefully I’ll be able to AJAX in my blog content. I guess the next step is Illustrator — time to come up with a new look!
