I think I've finally actually finished this site! Or at least, got it to a functional state.

I've been working on this site a lot over the past couple months. Here are some of the things I did:

  • I wrote a silly little templating system (think EJS)
  • I wrote a parser for a Markdown-inspired markup language, which I now use to write basically all the content on this site
  • I added a blog and a projects list, both of which pull data from markup files

Currently, the only parts of this website that I haven't written myself from scratch are the Apache webserver itself and a couple Node.js modules such as busboy, which I might re-implement myself for the hell of it.

There are several things currently on my TODO list; here it is copied from the home page:

  • Add projects from mid-2023 to mid-2024
  • Improve how the site looks on lynx (it's mostly good, but I shouldn't be using so many <hr>s...)
  • Internally separate misc. website content from blog posts
  • Media RSS? Atom feed?
  • Syntax highlighting

But yeah, I guess I'm just making this post to celebrate the site being finished. Yippee!
