The website is back!!

It's here! I finally republished ascii.garden after months of not doing it after I said I would!

This time, the site is built with one of the off-the-shelf static site generators (currently, 11ty). The result of this choice was a refactor that is in conflict with my very soul. In all ways, as a person, I am wholly against solving a problem with a 10,000 dollar multitool that should be solved with a hammer and a knife. I also hate JavaScript so so so much despite my past attempts to get over this. Inside me there are two wolves and one is a unique kind of software elitist I cannot kill.

Regardless, my priority here was to make it as painless as possible to actually post. It is easy. And the tags work. It took an afternoon and the result is a mostly unobjectionable static site. So despite being possessed by a wolf that screams "oh my god I hate npm packages and apps" every time I breathe in the direction of the web, we're doing this. For my friends that are interested in starting up blogs, I think I can recommend this method maybeeeee possibly.

The content here is so far the same as it was after the last refactor, but I've deleted things. In 2025, I essentially only published content I had to write half-asleep for a grade at school (both posts and resume revisions)! No surprise, these were bad! Also, some one-offs have been deleted i.e. the fram2 test keps. If you need these for whatever reason feel free to email me.

I'm excited to fill this site with tons of new stuff. Pictures of places I've been, logs about things I'm working on, art, ramblings and rantings, etc. Should be fun!!
