having to explain to my software engineer friend and applied mathematician partner the things i was doing instead of using a code editor felt like cruelty to nerds. they looked so upset.

i will die before i use anything but the native neocities editor. my full stack engineer friend has already attempted to poison me over this.

i respect it, carry on king. at least it's not notepad, where i had to use double spaces instead of indents because they don't translate well to the neocities editor.

thanks @geo :) I've had a lot of cool plans for it and I'm trying hard to pace myself so I don't run out of steam and lose interest

It's a good website! I think your education section is really clear, and it's an interesting subject.

You know I always thought that I wasn't in quite enough mortal peril whenever I browsed the internet.

also I'm having a real "you're telling me I actually need to code the damn thing?" moment. it's all fun and games until you have to count individual pixels in your 128*640 image and try to reconcile deliberately inconsistent page formatting choices
strap in, folks
never heard of this; can't wait to watch it now!
oh btw, your pres fife footnote link in the text body is "2" instead of "3". And ctrl-f "unpick" (should be unpack I'd assume)
thanks @nohappy! didn't check the html too thoroughly this time. delighted to know I can introduce yet more people to this masterpiece
