CALLING ALL MILLENNIALS!
If you're born in the previous century, drop me a follow and I'll certainly do the same for you. There is a lot of new blood around here, and I don't want my Anchorman references to fall on deaf ears.
If you're in the younger crowd and can tolerate Y2K era dad jokes, you should follow me too! 🙂

Another long, boring week at work is over. With any luck, I'll get an opportunity to work on that THUG2 banner later this afternoon. I also have an article that I'm brainstorming surrounding CDNs, and how they aren't good at keeping your assets private. Wish me luck on hitting a flow-state later on. Ima take my ADHD meds today, so we'll see!
A mobile-first approach on this platform is refreshing! Keep up the good work. Good luck on expanding accessibility! It's really more tedious than it is hard, but it opens you up to new designs at different screen sizes, which is dope! 🙃😁
I've seen a site's style expand and retract gracefully and it was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen online.

Another long night at work. Hopefully tomorrow I will get a chance to clean up the site a little more. Until then, it's sailing on OSRS. :D

That autoplay dialup tone tripped me out! I didn't know Browsers auto played audio these days. 😅 love your project. My heart belongs to the old web.

Haha it doesn't always work depending on the browser (I should probably put a warning but I felt like it's more in the spirit of the old web to have no warning). Thank you though! Your site is very cool, I'm going to try out that photo data extractor it's such a good idea :)

@2000sdreamvault thank you! There are some UX bugs I still need to work through, but functionally it achieves what it says. More people need to be aware of their metadata generation, as that is the most actionable data we produce. I hope it's been a chill Monday for you! 😁

I instantly recognized bearblog and had to double take. I didn't realize there was a Hugo theme for it! How do you like it? I build with Jekyll, and I'm pretty pleased with the flexibility.
Clean site. Can't wait to see more!

Thank you for your comment and follow! It means a lot to me. You are the first who has ever commented on my website as you can see ;) As for the bearblog: I didn't even know there was something else to it than this hugo theme lol. And I like that hugo theme a lot; it's easy to use and it doesn't include unnecessary clutter (e.g. bunch of useless javascript that I, personally, don't need on my website).

@ansurv Hugo is a good choice! Go is an excellent platform. I only chose Jekyll because it coincided with the neocities cli, and I pretty strictly manage my local dependencies. Frankly, any exterior dev » build » serve path is better than using neo's web editor. 😅 Hope you had a decent Monday! 😁

Astro is great, look into it someday. Gives you extreme flexibility and almost no complexity for simple projects. You put your markdown in /pages and it automatically generates pages with whatever layout you provide it. And it's extremely customizable (you can do ANYTHING). You can mix different JS frameworks on your site, all at once - unbelievable feature. I embedded a Svelte component on my test page and was surp-

-rised at how well it worked. I tried hugo, jekyll and 11ty and all of them had some gripes. Astro had none. I recommend!
