I've been remaking the layout of this site, behind the scenes, and that got me thinking again about how I operate the site itself. Basically, I'm bored of making slop, so instead of publishing articles every day, it'll be every two or three days now.
I went through a fate worse than death for all terminally online individuals and was bored as hell, anyways, it made me realize web design is sorta fun. I still hate actually working on this site, but that won't stop me from talking about how it's actually fun. Read the thing.
It seems that the internet is filled with pointless blogs that have basically no substance (including this one), but who actually reads them? There's no real reason to, afterall. I'm still not sure why, but here's some good old fashioned trademarkhell.net conjecture.
I've noticed a lot of sites that seemingly have a completely different layout every week, and to be honest, I don't know that this is a very good idea. This isn't to say that I have any evidence proving otherwise, I just have the uncanny ability to ramble on with no evidence. Click the title...
Sites that use templates tend to get a decent bit of criticism, and this is fair because they're boring as hell, but I honestly think templates do a lot more for the indie web than people think. I actually defend something in an article instead of making fun of things for once, shocker. Read it today.
The first month of what I consider to be the 'true' trademarkhell.net is coming to a close, and I wanted to look back on this site's (brief) history and what my plans for it are. I'll post a proper article tomorrow, but I've been meaning to do something like this.
Discord has somehow replaced just about every niche forum that once existed, and this mildly annoys me. This annoyance doesn't actually justify an article, but trademarkhell.net isn't about justification. Discord shot and killed my favorite forum, more on the article, click it, or else something may happen.
English is a lot more historically and grammatically interesting than you may think. Nobody really cares about this, for good reason, but I'm here to be that one person who cares. This is just me rambling on about what I think makes English such a cool language. (plus you're reading it in English..)
Technology in the modern era seems to have the uncanny ability to start being terrible to use after a few years, and I wanted to write about what likely causes that. Another post about new technology being bad and old stuff being good, daring, I know. Unhinged ranting ahead, click the title.
Everyday, I'm almost certain you think "Wow, I see so many easily stereotyped groups on the indie web but I'm not brave enough to categorize them." I'm here to be the brave knight in shining warrior who'll stereotype entire broad groups of people, just as the lord intended. This article is *mostly* satire, but based off of genuine obervations.
AI does a lot of awful things, and I fully recognize this, but I also feel as though many people are under a false premonition as to what AI can/will be able to do. This article is basically just my thoughts on AI as a whole, and why I think it does have a lot of valid use cases in medical/science research.
If you're reading this article, odds are you use Neocities or Nekoweb as a webhost, but that got me thinking. What is it that made these webhosts so popular? I still have no idea, and I don't really feel like doing actual research, so instead I provide unproven theories. This is another Harvard worthy article, I reckon.
If you have an entire site dedicated to yourself and your opinions, you're egotistical. Despite this, I don't believe egotism to be an inherently bad thing. This is a rather strange take, so I won't try to compress it down further here, but read the article if you want, it's rather short compared to some of my other posts.
My IBM 5160 article is taking longer than I thought it would, and I've been on a roll with random website articles, so I figured I'd keep the trend going. I kinda think about me sections are pointless on personal sites, and in this article I use extremely pretentious reasoning to justify my opinion on the subject. (I swear I can do things other than rant about webdevelopment...)
Just yesterday I recognized that my web and article sections were nearly identical, unfortunately, this will be keeping that trend going, as I'll be ranting about web design elements I dislike. This article is solely based on my opinions, and the evidence used is fringe at best. Deeply scientific stuff.
As I was adding the 'web' tag to my site I realized that my web section and blog section were identical, so I figured I should talk about something new. Here it is, an article about shoddily put together vehicles predominently owned by secondary school students. I literally have no idea who will read this, it sounded more interesting in my head. This article has no real meaning, and there'll still be another article today.
Welcome to the N.H.K. is far from the best show I've watched, and quite frankly, I doubt I'll ever be in the right mental state to watch it again. Despite this, it impacted me more than any other piece of media I've consumed in my life, and I suspect it could have a similar effect on many people in a similar position to where I once was.
I have procured a strong hatred for blog sections with nothing in them other than a single post saying "yo guys check it out i just made this dope ass blog... gonna use it daily" that was made six months ago. This article is my desperate plea for webmasters to actually use their blogs for y'know... blogging... Click the title for one of the greatest rants of the past three minutes.
I've spent the past three weeks spending the bulk of my freetime in webdesign hell, and after this experience akin to that of what Sisyphus went through, I learned one thing. I'll probably never like my site, but at least I can get a cool blog post out of it. Click the title above if you want to read a masterfully crafted text about my perilous journey.
what's up?
