About

I created this space in the original spirit of the world wide web, which was for me and many others a hopeful and positive experience with a decentralized network of personal expression. Before LLMs were a thing every design decision was a personal choice, and this collection of creative writing, opinions, projects, and links to the work of others are some of mine.

This site lives on the edge — Cloudflare Pages - which is free as in beer for me, and means faster response times for you regardless of where you are in the world. It might surprise you to learn that this is a static site, in that it loads everything from the server once. For example the entire exobase is just a few hundred KB of text, commited into github so I have a versioned history of everything I write. This is automatically deployed via wrangler, which is very convenient, although I have mixed feelings about Cloudflare being the gatekeeper and tracker of usage for this site and may well move to self hosting once it is a bit more stable. I am not a web developer, but I have found the tailwind css framework to be simple enough to use and create a layout which (mostly) adapts gracefully from phone to desktop. And I do use LLMs for help with various technical issues, since after all I am only human.
