F.A.Q.

What is this thing that you insist be called a "website"?

Yes, this website works, but you know what they say about monkeys and typewriters. That being said, this site is no Shakespeare. When they first made Apache open-source, there was great fear that any idiot could use it to haphazardly create a website without fully understanding what they're doing. Ladies and gentleman, I am that idiot, and this poor bastard of a website is what you get after about six hours of patching together limited HTML knowledge. Cobbled together with nothing more than duck tape and bailing wire, this monstrosity is not really fit for human consumption. The intend of this website was to act as a sort of resume, but ended up nothing more than a scathing indictment of my limited skills. Enjoy.

How was this website created?

Ok, I know nobody will likely every actually ask this question, but I just spent a few painful hours hacking together my first webserver, so I'll tell you anyway! This website is running on a Raspberry Pi that I stuffed in a corner at my house, unlikely to be seen ever again. Now I know what you're thinking, "But couldn't you pay for a professional webhosting service for the annual price of electricity of the Pi?" Maybe, but where's the fun in that? Unfortunately, with this approach, I've only been able to achieve one nine of uptime. (Is that 9%, or 90%? Either way, it's likely still a bit optimistic.)

Update: That approach actually worked suprisingly well. That is, until I had the audacity to try something really outlandish and update my system... I can only handle mucking around with broken config files for so long, so I caved and moved to AWS...
