  26               <p>
  27                 Look I'm hardly the first to do this but I think we all know the
  28                 internet is shit now. Like. Really, really shit. It would be
  29                 naive to say that the internet was perfect in its early days.
  30                 But it was definitely less centralised, with many people
  31                 maintaining their own pages, using webrings to link to people
  32                 they like. It was collaborative and communicative and a platform
  33                 of passions.
  34               </p>
  35               <p>
  36                 Then for a while everyone was in the same place, although that
  37                 place changed every like. year or so. I never really used
  38                 MySpace or Bebo, but I got on Twitter really early and gave
  39                 myself lifelong Poster's Sickness.
  40               </p>
  41               <p>
  42                 Obviously Twitter is absolute shite now and has been for a fair
  43                 while. I moved to bluesky, and that's ok, but every so often I
  44                 want to write longer Things. Usually about movies or games,
  45                 sometimes about programming stuff since that is... my job.
  46               </p>
  47               <p>
  48                 I used backloggd for games for a bit but the culture on that
  49                 site fucking annoyed me, and I don't think letterboxd is likely
  50                 to be any better. So instead I can make my own website without a
  51                 comment website. Then if you want to disagree with me you can dm
  52                 me directly and then we can digitally kiss.
  53               </p>
  54               <p>
  55                 So yeah. Programming is my job, and because the web is stupid
  56                 now, most of what I work on is in Angular or Razor. Which do
  57                 have their conveniences, but also they're kind of a pain when
  58                 you just want to make something simple to scratch down thoughts
  59                 in.
  60               </p>
  61               <p>
  62                 Also I'm pretty sure an Angular SPA would get very mad at you if
  63                 you tried to put a marquee tag in it. And since marquee is the
  64                 greatest tag in the history of the web, we can't have that.
  65               </p>
  66               <p>
  67                 Anyway, that's probably it for this first entry. If you wanna
