this site was first published online on 7 september 2024. pre-transition me had another domain and site, and i felt that post transition it would be a fun idea to create a new website for the new and real me. to that end, i started working on this site, using astro as a framework to streamline some of the process. initially, the site was hosted on render while i was building it, before moving it to surge soon after. on 12 feb 2025, i began self hosting the site on my sweet potato using lighttpd and running on debian 13. i cant make promises that it will be always reliable and up, but it should mostly be! the spotify recently played is written in gleam, and runs as a daemon on my sweet potato pulling data from spotify every 3 minutes. i will put the source code up on my codeberg eventually.
