update
Sep 01, 2026
It's been awhile, I got distracted. There's a lot of changes in this update, I decided to hold off until I finished a couple of the little projects I was working on. Also I redid the whole site, more or less. Long story short, I was having issues with Jekyll and SASS breaking because one or both updated to a new version. I couldn't find an easy fix, there doesn't appear to be anyone working on the project anymore, and I don't feel like trying to figure it out myself. So I decided to find a different site generator. Eleventy is based on javascript which I'm more familar with, and it's more flexible with structures and templating languages so it's easy to migrate the site over. My only complaint is the documentation. Outside of the basic installation instructions, the information is disorganized and hard to follow. Jekyll had some good guides and references in comparison. I'd recommend following this tutorial instead:
Create A Static Site Using 11ty & Deploy to Neocities (2026 Refresh)
(I skipped the parts about using ForgeJo or Codeberg, though. Uploading files through the CLI or web browser is always an option)
Anyway, other than moving everything over and redoing the css and making new templates, here's what's new:
- Notes section: A place to put some of the little diagrams and experiments I make when trying to learn stuff.
- Site Themes: A theme switcher with a few different color schemes to play with. More of a proof of concept to change the color palette of an entire page including the graphics. There's a lot more you can do with SVG's, like animations and interactive elements and even full on games, so it's fun to mess around with.
- Gallery: Totally redid the way I generate the gallery and the script for the lightbox. I go into more detail in the Notes.
Stuff I'm still working on:
- 3D model support: With some testing I've been able to use three.js to display 3D models on a webpage, and I've been practicing making 3D models in Blender, so when I have enough to show off I'd like to make a 3D model gallery.
- Blogging: Like the notes, but a more open ended dumping ground for whatever I feel like going on about.
- A comic: stg I'm not procrastinating I'm gonna get this damn thing done and post it on this site
So, until whenever I get around to touching this web site again, Later
