Personal Announcements

Finally edited my website background to include a little hourglass on the shelf, so the counter page that existed for a few weeks now has an official spot.

I'm also making plans on reworking another one of my sites and maybe getting a domain :) I already have a barebones code base and a lot of notes on the functions and structure, but I told myself no coding for this month to prioritize uni, so it has to wait until July.
There's also an idea I have that I wanna code as a Desktop software for the Steam Deck.. the core function already exists, but is a bit unreliable and ugly. Would love a dedicated program to start and visualize some of it. I'll give more info when I've looked into it.

I made my first site on neocities! It's kind of an archive of media I love, still in construction. It's made with templates and it's not really what I was picturing as my first site (I def still want to make one in English that's more personal and more 90s/00s-like, part of a webring, with buttons to other sites, a guestbook etc etc), but I needed a place to put all the things I love and I couldn't find another platform that would do it 
Here it is!
I'll be learning more html in the meantime, hoping to make my next site from scratch

went ahead and made a forum for my site! it's not very pretty, nor am i accepting members quite yet, but you can still take a peek if you want :)

also, i've been slowly starting to add more stuff to my site as well. i've got about half a page done here if you want to see it.

that's really cool! Topic-specific forums are really awesome.

I've created a new page on my blog for text and pixel web cliques... though so far, I've only added text clique codes. (I'll add pixel art once I actually learn pixel art )

added to my projects to keep track of what i'm running & new travel essay in june: https://xandra.cc

revived a dormant text clique to claim a mythological figure! https://xandra.cc/patrons

I don't know how many people here are into using the GNU Emacs text editor for coding or writing, but I've started documenting my configuration on my website.

https://starbreaker.org/emacs/

The file I use to document my config can also be turned into the config by Emacs, which I think is pretty cool. Embedding code inside a human-readable document so that it can be executed by the computer is a fairly old concept called "literate programming".

I just resurrected an old post from an old website of mine about localization versus translation using a bit of dialogue from Fire Emblem Fates as an example.

https://starbreaker.org/blog/finding-sweet-spot-purple-prose-fire-emblem-fates/

It had gotten a little attention when I had posted it back in 2016, and somebody emailed me about it yesterday, asking what had happened to it.

I created something perhaps at odds with my dislike for many of the bigger social medias. I have some memes and posts I like saved, and get sent some (saying "that's you" ) or some get posted in my group chats that I like, and I thought, why not display those in their own little feed on my site for fun? So I created that. I think they can give people an idea about me or just make them laugh.

Spoiler

There's probably a lot of meta discussion that could be had about bringing social media elements to a neocities page but hey, I am having fun. Memes and some opinion posts are largely something I don't mind about modern internet culture, and the choice to display it in a tumblr-esque feed is more for fun and ease of view than a statement. And hey, no tracking, no likes, no endless scrolling, no account

But perhaps, it is in spirit of the web revival after all. Even on here it is said to not abhor the entire modern web, not to be nostalgic, but take what we think is great and evolve into a better direction with it

I like this! I think it's still in the spirit since it's based on personal curation rather than endless content churn, like you said. And the Tumblr layout is so similar to actual Tumblr that it made me do a double take lol. I like how it's not all just memes but some thoughtful posts as well... It's a nice page :)

Thank you I wish Tumblr was this barebones in design

I made a shrine for Bridget from Guilty Gear, for the 32bit.cafe code jam! Particularly, regarding her story, how she's been viewed in pop culture over the years, and through the lens of her as a canonically trans character! Made with much love

Did a lot!

Completely redesigned my about me page. New layout, and completely new code, and incorporated the page that held some pictures of my life. The old one was the second page I ever coded, so the code was extremely messy and lots of it wrong or redundant. I think I'll see how I can optimize the layout design a bit more, since it loads a bit slow.

Also edited some stuff on my home page - new font, removal of contact button because that's on the about me page now, removal of the selfie, different order of text.

Reworked my minimalist mode site to also be the mobile friendly site, but that is far from done; I still need to make some pages for mobile to link there, and optimize the existing linked ones there if possible.

My website now should detect a mobile device and redirect to the mobile page. I only have an iPhone 13 to test, but it works for me.

Next up, I will edit the background image for new shelf stuff.
