Hope cometh in the morning, so says I. It’s bad. I can’t ever remember a time when it was worse, but it’s going to get better. This, I believe.

📝 New Post: Fresh 88x31 Buttons

I created a set of new animated 88x31 buttons for Flamed Fury using Dan's Button Creator from the 32-Bit Cafe community.

📝 New Post: The Summer Took Hold

A December and January catch up. Summer road trip, records, bookmarks, and tinkering with the site.

nur mal eben so am rande: ich freue mich wie ein kleines kind darüber, dass ich von zuhause aus in anderen blogs kommentieren kann. alles dank #indieweb-gedöns.

I don’t automatically follow everyone who follows me. That seems like a horrible strategy. That said, I like to follow cool people who share my worldview of artistic expression and curious pursuit of knowledge.

Are you following me and I have yet to reciprocate? Drop me a note and I’ll rectify that. Probably.

Support An Independent Web Experience

I’d like to invite you to explore my website, which is a collection of essays and stories that range from food to philosophy, culture to politics. There’s no paywall, and if you sign up (which I greatly appreciate), you get emails about new stories. No ads or promotion. I’m self hosted and entirely independent so this is the only way to build an audience. There is an RSS feed.

> "Many personal website owners
deliberately choose inefficient methods
for updating their sites. They write
HTML by hand, upload files directly
via FTP, or maintain static sites that
require manual intervention for even
simple changes. These choices would
be considered backwards in a
professional context, but they serve
important psychological and creative
functions"

me and my #hugo #ssg site deployed via #ftp feel very seen

I've written an article about how to create simple but hopefully memorable and interesting NPCs for any #TTRPG. Feel free to let me know if you spot any typos or areas of improvement. I wish I could draw, so I could make proper illustrations of my own for this kind of stuff.

A new issue of https://goodinternetmagazine.com means we get to read interesting articles and explore the writers’ awesome personal websites. My favourites this time around
- https://sephlow.net - a digital apartement with a view
- https://webb.page - horizontal layout ftw
- https://elpis.ws / https://web1.0hosting.net / https://old.net.eu.org - web 1.0 vibes

Enjoy!

Fun! Wired up my GoToSocial bio to my Eleventy site at build time. Update my ActivityPub bio → site rebuilds → geff.re stays in sync automatically.

  • GoToSocial instance (id.geff.re) holds my canonical bio
  • Eleventy global data file (_data/bio.js) fetches bio from API.
  • Github Secret injected into the build env / ‘dotenv` for local dev

Static sites don't have to be static data. 😬

What a coincidence. I also started to self-host in the year 2025. Glad I was part of the "significant" year.
