What the fuck is this!?

This is a blog, unsurprisingly. I've created it entirely by myself because of pure boredom. Well, not every bit of it. If you look into the source code you'll find HTMX referenced in the head, besides FontAwesome for good measure. Funny stuff I like to take a closer look into.

Developer: I may look weird but I'm actually pationate abotu what I do Surely, you have already noticed that I am a complete crackpot, which is in principle a feature not only possessed by me, but broadly shared among my afflicted brothers and sisters in the IT sector. So I'm trying to bring two things together at once with this blog: To create some place, where I can drop my highly intellectual, quite less thought-out and in large parts utterly uncomprehensible outpourings - and the fun to simply create a classic website literally from scratch again. Like in old times, when stupid men were still stupid men and did it all by themselves with the power of the Dunning-Kruger-Effect. Or so.

If you fire up the browser devtools you'll find only the mandantory index.html and some subfolders containing stuff like css, images and scripts. I use VS Code for coding and even for writing entire posts like this with all necessary code around it. For testing the resulting crap I make use of nano-server, which is terrible simple to use and works great. No need for some apache docker container etc.

It's quite a relieve to not use any complex frameworks or tools like npm and whatnot, but just plain HTML, CSS and JS. And it's good for learning a few new tricks and refreshing old ones. From time to time I just might reconsider the entire design and build a complete new one but for now I like it and will only alter it for certain posts, if it fits them.

It all began just like that for me, in the mid-late 90s, only with a text editor and my creativity. If you're curious, fire up the devtools (F12) and take a deeper look, especially if you're beginner. It's not that hard, it just takes some time, patience and love (or at least willful perseverance), and before you know you're hacking tons of code lines into The Machine and cry, curse and feel overwhelmingly glad if the stuff works finally.
It's fun as hell! >:-)
