Personal Announcements

Took me quite some time, but I've finally made the post about my digital minimalism journey (which, spoiler alert, is ultimately not that minimal). It's full of links to click on!

I forgot to post this, but two weeks ago I finished up a review on Cavern of Dreams.

I finally finished my Interests and Personal Canon pages, whew. (Okay, the Personal Canon page isn't technically done, since I still need to add descriptions to the items, but at least it's not sitting in my drafts anymore.)

just letting you know there's a couple bits in your blog post marked with (link) that don't appear to have a link! congratulations on completing such a long project though, the end result looks really polished :D

Added some random splash text to my site's homepage! Most of them are just random inside jokes or references. Normally I wouldn't bother showing off something so small but something about it makes me happy.
You can see it here!

Added 2 new images to the claw machine page aka 2 new plushies!

Last week Thursday my forum celebrated 16 years! It feels weird to know that it's the same age now as I was when I moved it to its permanent home on my domain, away from the free forum site I used before.

That is quite an achievement.

Would you say that you have often questioned why you still keep it running, or do you like it now as much as you did when you made it?

People don't realize how much a maintainer of a site can sometimes not want the responsibility anymore.

Thanks! I've never really wondered why I keep the site running (forum specifically, since the other section is super active still) because I know that it is still a place on the internet for people to gather if they want to, but we've definitely had slower times over the years that make it feel like a "dead" forum for a little while. So I guess it's more about keeping motivated to keep activity going when sites like this are harder to get "off the ground" continually in recent years. I like the tinkering responsibility, personally, so it gives me something to work on over time too!

That's a good point. Once you have any users, past or present, there's a good chance there is no more "making another site" that will be worth as much.

o.o thank you so much for pointing this out! what an oversight haha  .
i finished up the post while packing for a con so i guess my quick scan of my formatting failed me... since my blog is just written in html maybe i should get in the habit of just formatting the links correctly to begin with xD

congratulations on completing such a long project though, the end result looks really polished :D

and thank you so much! i'm excited for whatever big project i pick up next, probably a collaborative zine? gotta finish this semester first though.

I set up a raspberry pi nightstand thing

This sounds cool! Do you have a guide you followed or anything? I'd like to see this. I have a few Raspberry Pis I wish I could do more with but I never seem to find an idea I like for them, haha.

No, I just went into it raw. The way it's coded is really, REALLY simple tho, all it does is log in automatically to a raw X Window, and run some terminals with position flags to make up the UI.
