31st March 2025 - 00:49 I've had this website since January I think? I didn't bother making the blog page until today. I wasn't sure how to structure it, I couldn't be bother to do link after link after link, sorting through Year, Month, Date. Also nobody would bother to actually sort through all that so this is the best way to get my thoughts seen, a table, like its 2007 again, everything is tables. I was semi inspried by Cory Doctorow's link site Pluralistic.net, although I doubt it will look that nice. I wanted to use his font but it's paid for, and I was struggling to add Lucon, so I went to google fonts and found the next best thing, Sometype Mono.

Anyway. I have almost exact one month until my final year in Uni is done, its so scary. I'm way behind on my dissertation because my advisor didn't respond to my emails and I'm expected to get 100 participants in a month, get feedback, analyse and then write it up. It's do able but man I wish I could have been on top of it. For once I was trying to be, but my advisor just wasnt playing ball. I was supposed to be doing my Lit review, or my methodology write up, only about 2k words each but I just can't bring myself to do it, I'm a bit too nervous to face it right now, but at least my questionnaire is done. Might post that here when it's ready, unlikely to get any responses from here but it'd be cool if I did. I keep wanting to stop typing because I'm rambling but thats what a blog is, right?

I do wish I was better at web dev, I'd love to make a cool, retro CLI website. I hate CSS, its boring, too finicky. Maybe I'll learn some more advanced web dev tools, doubt it. I've been watching a bunch of stuff on 3D printers, I'd love one but I should really learn to drive first, get a car, focus on getting a job using my degree, and I'm cheap. I want a Banbu Labs A1, even if they are propritary (cringe) it just seems super friendly, and 3D printing is a little more involved than I thought, and than what the name suggests. I'd also love to get back into WoW but its too much of a time sync, NEED to focus on my diss (the irony). I've been regularing a cool forum called RejectConvinence, its owner, a youtuber by the same name, has a lot to say about dumb phones, I'm all for cool, privacy respecting tech but not having a smart phone is a step too far, but it's a cool place to find websites, tech news, other stuff, I just wish it had a larger fan base. Add me on there, Speb, I have the Data profile picture, seemed fitting for an old bulletin board style website. I think I'm done writing, just wanted to finally get a blog post out, I'll get a link for my survey out on here, post it on that same forum also I think. Im not sure how I'd react if somebody I knew found this, they know this is my nick name, I think I'd be embarrassed being open because its not who I am. Probably gonna go read Walkaway, new Doctorow book, I'm a little obsessed with him right now lol. Oh also I'll get some privacy tools up on my resources page soon enough, I have got quite a collection for my diss. GOD now i gotta go clean this table up with some CSS. I hate CSS. :P
