dropping dark mode
I decided to drop darkmode for now. I find it great for programming, or application UIs, but for reading long form text I much prefer dark letters on light backgrounds.
Now that the base CSS of the page is somewhat where I want it do be, it's time to experiment with some page specific changes. Starting with the homepage. However it's still super minimal for now.
terminal browser compatible
I made some small tweaks here and there to make this website work
nicely with terminal browsers link lynx and elinks.
There wasn't that much to do, just sprinkling in some horizontal breaks here and there to give some pages a little more structure.
2025 and going forward
I don't think I ever had a more intense and equally fullfilling year than 2025.
I had, and still have, the oppurtunity to work on some really amazing projects.
Our daughter is approaching her 2nd birthday and getting to watch her develop fills me with great joy. We've been reassured by more than a handfull of people that her energy levels are extraordinary. She does not need a whole lot of sleep.
For that reason in particular, my ambitions to get more into Audio DSP in my spare time had to take the backseat for the 2nd half of 2025. Thruth be told, I might also have been side-tracked by other things like a graphics programming basics sidequest and writing a software renderer in C.
The goal remains, however this year, I will go for a more hands-on exploratory, less theory focused approach and not worry about things like math for a while.
updating the website ... again
It's the end of the year, and like every so often I feel the need to tweak things here.
Last year I switched from Astro for static page generation to a purely handwritten website.
I have decided to take it a step further and try to reduce the CSS as much as I can. Currently sitting at around ~130 lines, not minified.
The plan is to turn this into my digital garden, just like my website used to be a good 15y ago.
