Spending a night browsing Neocities sites is worth it.

Thinking of making a neocities thing!! I'd love to have a space that is wholly my own, might do it after school

Actualicé mi #Neocities y cambié de lugar el acceso escondido a la habitación secreta me gustaría saber si alguien la encuentra, jajaja.

I've seen a lot of interesting discussions on the #smallweb about our online "faces" and personas lately.

Seemed like a good time to reshare some thoughts I had on a film that I think captured our social media anxieties before #socialmedia was even a thing: Perfect Blue

It's about a long-gone MySpace musician that you probably never heard of. Give it a read if you'd like!

This is such a cute, nostalgic neocities fan website:

https://grimmjow.neocities.org/

It makes me want to print out anime pictures to decorate my binder.

New post up on my website https://librarymonster.io !

#Chocolate & #bread themed cell phone case

I link to my tools & supplies, and put together a 4 min video of it (time lapsed, bc this took a bit over an hour).

To my beloved readers, all four of you. (Actually I don't keep metrics so I don't know)

I have migrated my website to my own domain and a new provider.

Same site, same fun, slightly different URL

Ta!

There's a new board game on my website!

https://samflir.neocities.org/center

This is an implementation of the "Center" board game, in which you have to try to play on the centre square by advancing inwards from the perimeter, using your existing stones to support your next. The good bot is very good, it consistently beats me even with very low time limits.

I implemented this using the "vibe coding" technique where I just asked AI to do all the coding and editing. None of the code was typed by me, it was all done by asking Claude 3.7 Thinking to make changes. There's some usability rough edges but I'm very impressed by how well it implemented this idea.

There comes a point in every insufferable nerds life where they need to explain in great detail their own Personal Knowledge Management #pkm system.

And now is my time.
