dear witness,
|
|
|
|
this is the first post on my new website, which i'm creating using the [zola](https://www.getzola.org) static site generator
|
|
|
|
the old site used [jekyll](jekyllrb.com), which i like a lot, and i've used it for over 5 years
|
|
|
|
<br/>
|
|
|
|
i always found the ruby development environment to be a massive pain in the ass to set up, which is why zola was pretty appealing
|
|
|
|
i also never use ruby for damn near anything, so i never keep it installed
|
|
|
|
i've also just been meaning to change things up a little in general
|
|
|
|
the whole early web 2.0 aesthetic is a lot of fun, but i've been feeling a bit more drawn towards minimalism lately
|
|
|
|
besides, i was barely even sentient when that aesthetic was big
|
|
|
|
<br/>
|
|
|
|
i might port over the old posts
|
|
|
|
might not
|
|
|
|
some of that stuff was pretty cool
|
|
|
|
you can always check out the internet archive to see that stuff if you want: [http://web.archive.org/web/20240226014714/https://exvacuum.dev/notes](http://web.archive.org/web/20240226014714/https://exvacuum.dev/notes)

idk why i decided to write like this but it's kind of funny
|
|
|
|
a bit rambly
|
|
|
|
it's actually really annoying trying to intentionally write poorly
|
|
|
|
<br/>
|
|
|
|
i do want to start writing more of these things because god i feel like i learn so much and don't have anywhere to share it
|
|
|
|
like i have my [youtube channel](https://youtube.com/@silasbartha), which is great when i can muster up the willpower to throw something together, but i don't feel like my skills are developed enough to output videos at a rate or quality which would satisfy me
|
|
|
|
i would be spending more time on videos about my projects than the projects themselves
|
|
|
|
<br/>
|
|
|
|
i'm actually putting off my big personal project right now to do this lol
|
|
|
|
but it's important (i think)
|
|
|
|
my site's on my resume and i'm looking for jobs right now
|
|
|
|
if you're a potential employer reading this, first of all: i'm surprised you read this far!
|
|
|
|
but also please hire me or something
|
|
|
|
not for frontend web development obviously
|
|
|
|

|
thanks for reading this,
|
