It's the website you're looking at right now, baby!!

+

+ I can't pretend this website is particularly complex. It's pure + HTML and CSS. I don't even have any javascript in it apart from + the embedded hit counter at the bottom. Maybe I'll use some in + future if it's necessary but I'm writing each entry directly in + the HTML instead of pulling from a database or such, so outside + of doing some fancy shit I don't see why I'd ever need to. Here, + here's a live screenshot of the site in VSCode so you can see + I'm really doing this the 'old-fashioned' way: +

+ + a screenshot of vscode with the html of this page loaded up in it. + +

+ The web is too damn complicated nowadays. I don't think this is + a particularly controversial statement. Everyone seems to want + to make everything into a single-page application, host with + node or some .net backing with a big MVC structure behind it, + have myriad front-end technologies to make everything + oh-so-slick. And sure, there's a place for that. I work for a + company whose main product is an Angular SPA with a big .net + backend that is hugely multifunctional. +

+

+ But personal websites do not need that, really. I kind of + fundamentally disagree with it. A portfolio website can impress + with your talent for design, for sure, but when you're working + on something like this, where it's jsut for you - is any of it + really necessary? +

+

+ All that overhead certainly makes it slower. The web is so damn + slow now. I got gigabit internet recently, which has + certainly been revelatory for streaming and steam game + downloads, but actual day-to-day web use is basically + unimpacted. I can download sites faster, theoretically, but the + framework is doing so much internally that it makes practically + no difference. +

+

+ And for a small site of my own, I simply do not want that. I + want something that feels fast and responsive. And what's faster + than a static website? +

+

+ So this is what that is, in a very classic style. Pure HTML and + CSS. Iframes for stuff like the links and footer bars. Manual + linking and organisation. A marquee tag for the header, gotta + respect the classics. +

+

+ I even have a links panel, which I hope to fill out with links + to friends' and acquaintances little homes on the internet. + Webrings were fuckin' cool and we've lost them, so let's bring + them back. If you want to be included, shout me on + bluesky. +
