## what is this
|
||
|
|
My name is Jocelyn, otherwise known as Joss, Josie or sleppo04. This is my blog.
|
||
|
|
On here, I'll post my ramblings about programming and tech in general, music, video games
|
||
|
|
and other things that I may or may not be qualified to talk about.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Topics I want to cover include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Programming (especially games, graphics)
|
||
|
|
* Hardware hacking projects
|
||
|
|
* Music discussion
|
||
|
|
* Ramblings about movies and/or shows I enjoy
|
||
|
|
* My perspective on the queer community
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This list is non-exclusive. Once I get around to implementing it, my blog will have a tag/category system
|
||
|
|
to classify blog posts for your (and my) convenience. Also, my blog posts have a *minimum length*, because
|
||
|
|
this is not a micro blogging service. Due to this, blog posts can take quite some time to write.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One last thing: As of now, my blog does _not_ feature a "last updated" time feature, but I will still update
|
||
|
|
posts occasionally (for fixing mistakes and correcting things). If I need to make a bigger change I will annotate
|
||
|
|
that in some way for transparency. If you want to see the whole editing history, you can check out the blog on my
|
||
|
|
[git page](https://git.jossco.de).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## why is this
|
||
|
|
I wanted to have my own blog for quite some time now. When I started renting my own server
|
||
|
|
sometime around October of 2023 I decided to take the opportunity, and did... nothing for over half a year. Yeah.
|
||
|
|
Now it's already June, and after messing around with stuff I finally have a workflow I'm somewhat comfortable
|
||
|
|
with... for now.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In case it's not already clear, this blog (and my site in general) is heavily inspired by the ever-awesome
|
||
|
|
Fabien Sanglard and [his blog](https://fabiensanglard.net).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## how is this
|
||
|
|
Fine, thank you ^^ (blog talking here)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All jokes aside: This blog is written in *Markdown*, and compiled to static HTML using a custom setup
|
||
|
|
involving [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org). My setup is like that because I like having total control
|
||
|
|
over the workflow, and because I have *unusual* requirements (for example: all my pages have to be **usable and
|
||
|
|
completely functioning** even without the CSS applied). Also, 100% server side, no JavaScript at all.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Fun fact: My blog uses the same stylesheet as [my homepage](https://jossco.de), so style updates will be reflected on both pages. Neat!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Static HTML pages have several advantages, like easy backup and relative independence from server architecture.
|
||
|
|
Also, they are the optimal case for _HTTP caching_. Other advantages are left up as an exercise to the reader.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I plan on moving the hosting setup to a Plan9 compatible solution (like [werc](https://werc.cat-v.org)) at some point.

## when is this
|
||
|
|
now
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## thank you...
|
||
|
|
...for reading this introduction into the wonderful world that is my blog. Stay tuned for new entries! I don't have a schedule,
|
||
|
|
and knowing myself I will probably take several months to get something new out...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Until then,
|
||
|
|
|
