First Post (at last)

Phew, what a journey that was!

Prologue

What began as a week-long fun activity, came to be a torture 3-month project (on and off). I started believing that it wasn’t going to end or even come to a publish-able state at some point, but there it is. Even right now, it feels like a fever dream to write this first “canon” post. I made a deal with my self- to bring the website live before the new year - and it seems I made it (15 mins before 2025 but still counts in my book).

Mid-journey Hell

This is something I procrastinated for years. The already-made Hugo templates/themes weren’t cutting it for me as they weren’t fitting my vision or weren’t custom enough for my bad tastes. I needed something I’d see and know I created it. In that sense, I think I succeeded, judging from the pretty messed up CSS. Don’t get me wrong- AI Chatbots made this WAY more complicated that it should ever be helped A LOT… However, the finishing touch was definitely mine.

Epilogue

This is my own corner in the vast space of the web. It certainly needs much more ironing but as a first stage, I am happy to publish it. Even if somebody who likes clean code, pretty aesthetics and consistency may commit seppuku if they stumble upon this website.

Happy new year!

PS. This will always be a work in progress.

See you WebSpace Cowboy…
