Welcome to my silly little blog :3

You have no clue how long it took trying to find this stupid framework thing so that I could start it, but let's not get too carried away. At least I found it, right?

When going through my browser history proved fruitless, I ended up needing to go through my twitter likes, and thankfully I don't use twitter all that much, so it wasn't so difficult to find, it just took a bit...

I'm not sure what I'm gonna write here, but I'm just glad I've finally got something working. I'm probably gonna try to do some sort of versioning with git, just because my current approach is a little tedious. Not to mentiont that this framework is not as turn-key as I would've expected, but who cares.

I think I'll use this blog as a sort of metric on my learning on how to work with webservers and sites and stuff like that

Throughout all the sites I've made over the past 6-7 years, I've never really delved any further than simple HTML & CSS, and to be fair, this site is so far not so different. But I am planning on implementing a few things that are "new" to me (as in I've tried them multiple times before but they all failed, or they really are new to me)

Those things are:

• E-mail server for me and my friends (they will never use it)
• lainchan webring, I need to figure out how to get that working
• a guestbook of sorts would be cool
• the original "intent" of isinthe.icu was that I would "manually" (by magic) update the homepage with any notable person who was currently in an intensive care unit. A secondary purpose was that I could email my professors using that email address to explain to them why I didn't show up to class. These purposes will likely not be acheived anytime soon. My more urgent goals are to get this blog and its two sister sites up and running in about 6 days -- that's how long I have until my classes start back up again

If anyone reads this and they are not some crawler or bot, thank you! I will hopefully have some sort of contact address/form up soon, and the guestbook is still top of mind.... 'til next time :D

Edit:

After a little thought, I've "decided" that I should use the guestbook idea as a way to challenge myself into learning javascript. I saw one example of a serverless guestbook on Github thats basically perfect for my needs. I think for now what I can do is take that person's code, try to understand it and just intergrate it as best as I can in my own site, before I go ahead and try to make it all on my own.
