Hello world

August 18, 2023

The back of my mind is filled with little things I've wanted to do and never got to doing, and one of them is writing a blog. I figured it's finally time to reach into the back of the head and pull something out. So, here sits the commencement post to my blog.

I don't have a strong direction for what I'm going to write about, or what this blog page is going to look like (right now, it's just handwritten HTML styled by sakura.css), but I'm not going to let that stop me from writing just for the sake of writing.

Some of my primary blogging influences:

Dan Luu
Julia Evans
Bartosz Ciechanow
Johnny Rodgers

There are probably some more; I'll update this list as I go.

If you're curious, this subdomain lives in a DigitalOcean Droplet, and I'm just serving the HTML and CSS files with nginx. DigitalOcean has a thorough collection of documentation -- even for generic, non-DigitalOcean-related resources -- I highly recommend anyone to browse through them.
