17.07.25 - v1.0.5.1 - I happen to lie a bit
There was no nighttime update and there is no major update today either. I seem to be in a bit of a rut again, and I'm blaming it on my sleep schedule. I've been getting to sleep between 1 and 2 in the morning, and waking between 10 and 11... in the morning. At first glance, this seems natural and good, but it seems like being exposed to the light of day for most of my sleep isn't making me very bright and cheerful, and it doesn't feel like I'm getting nine hours of sleep. I feel better prepared to work when I've only had seven hours funnily enough, I suppose out of habit. But all that aside, I have actually made some changes to the website. I had to struggle to understand how I had configured my headers to set up a template banner image for pages I just can't be bothered designing a brand new banner for, like Miscellaneous and the very much new My Hardware pages.
I also moved some of my files into a different folder, and learnt about the headache it is changing all of the hrefs to "folder/..." or even just "../...". I can't believe I chose to make a website for my (unrelated) Computer Science NEA, this is terrible. All that took me so much time I forgot what I was actually going to add to my website in the first place; Well it's proving difficult finding things to do or write about in the middle of the summer, truly, nothing ever happens.
16.07.25 - v1.0.5 - I didn't kill myself
I have gleefully left this website to rot in the background for a couple months. I've been more involved in other things and less interested in this website than I expected, but that's quite alright, as this is something I can leave for a minute, or two months, and go back to when I'm ready, which is now. Really, two months isn't a very long time if I'm going to be maintaining a website until I die, which will happen in approximately 70 years.
Why have I returned now? Well I've already spent three weeks of summer holiday having a nice rest, really doing feck all, except for going on one open day. As a result, I've started to feel a little less fulfilled with my time, and I want to actually do stuff a little bit. This website serves as a convenient distraction from the mountain of work I'll have to cover over the next year. Working on it makes me feel like I'm doing something, like I'm recording and writing history, perhaps something for me to go back to and think about, while avoiding the boring important stuff I have to do.
As of now, I have made a few changes in the background; the navbar and right aside should look nicer on this index page. I have a few pages and ideas ready to go up when I finish sorting the layout of each section of the website. I'm a bit more confident in my CSS and JS, but to really improve, I'll have to use it, and I don't fancy starting on an important project, so I'll use it... here. I'll push a bigger update tomorrow, maybe a smaller one later today too, with some more layout changes and content.
18.05.25 - v1.0.4.2
Hello, I have of course been busy with exams, but that's coming to an end soon, and I'm generally pleased with things. Over the past couple days I've set up Linux on my father's laptop, quite fun, and I've had quite a frustrating experience trying to get Waydroid working on my own laptop, although it's working well now, I may write more on this when I'm no longer busy. I've changed a few things on the site, preparing to add new pages and some "articles" finally.
