...and there was light theme.

> print("Hello world.")

Whenever I read techy blogs, whether one of my friends' or some random dude's who haven't updated the format of his website since the '90s, I get the urge to write one myself. Ever since I first picked up coding as a hobby (and later as a job) I was always on the lookout for opportunities to use my newfound skillset for something fun or useful. About 3 years ago I switched from Windows to Arch Linux as my main OS. I never really used Linux before, so it was quite a challenge at first, but thanks to my good friend oliva I was able to learn more about computers in a year than ever before. Eventually this website was born, hosting my silly little projects and my first ever serious attempt to create something on the internet.

> What's with the blog?

I plan to use this blog as a wall of shame for all my abandoned projects collection/documentation/chronicle for all my running projects. Most of them will probably be software related, hopefully some of them hardware related (because I want to get into it more), but I also plan to work on some other geeky stuff (like building a lightsaber!) or learning 3D modeling and animation.

The skybox is the limit!

> What's next?

If you are one of the few unfortunate people to lay your gaze upon this blog too early, you are probably looking at something like this:

This is the current state of the blog as I'm writing these lines. I knew that if I ever want this blog to happen, I have to start writing before setting up the blog itself, otherwise I would never be able to convince myself to work on it. I'm not a huge fan of frontend. <sarcasm> I know, shocking. </sarcasm>

So the first official project: making a somewhat more aesthetically pleasing layout and theme. Probably with dark mode. I may keep the ugly original theme as an easter egg. Try and find it!

Making this blog

This is the story of how I was finally able to create my first normal looking webpage, this blog.

Still working on this website

This time I made some improvements to the website.
