About

Me, myself and I

I am wp0. I am a programmer. I love music. I do 3D sometimes. I mostly use JavaScript to code. I use blender to model stuff.

This website

This is my n-th attempt to make a website for myself. Tenth or so... In everyday life I'm a web developer, I have made and took part in making of hundreds of websites - but never managed to make a decent one for my self. This is a new attempt.

The last attempt ended when my VPS has literally burnt. This very attempt had already died once when OVH provider had failed me.

I don't like so-called "dynamic" websites - with CGI, CMS, APIs, CRUDs, SQL, Clean URL rewriting and whatnot. I believe simple sites like mine absolutely do not need all that - all they need is some worthy content.

I won't use any kind of analytics on this website, at least for now (as I don't really care about those for now).

Also I try my best to design this website in a text-first manner. It actually does use some modern website techniques and even a heavy asset (the font weights around 25KB!), but should be viewable even in text-only browsers.

Music

I love music... It's mostly electronic music now. My favorite performer is Carbon Based Lifeforms, and favorite music subgenre is Dreampunk. There is a list of my beloved music albums in the shelf section of this website.

Games

Sometimes I play computer games... Mostly the old ones, like Heroes Of Might And Magic II, or Quake, or Transport Tycoon.

To be honest, I hate modern competitive games. I believe, when a game becomes competitive the fun of game itself ends (sporty fun starts tho, but I don't like the "sporty" approach to things). I used to play Quake2 a lot in the past and even took part in various tournaments. Still love it, but no longer spend time training to "git good"

My everyday tooling

For my work I mostly use a MacBook M1. For casual coding I also use a ThinkPad x270 with Windows(tm) and Ubuntu on board.

I prefer Android 10, but I use an iPhone 12 mini as my mobile phone (I use it to make calls and hot-spot the internet to laptops, and sometimes to take photos). Makes me sad that the manufacturers do not make decent compact smartphones anymore these days.

I use Canon G9X camera to take photos, Fiio X5 to listen music, and Onyx Boox Leaf to read books. I also use Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite for PDFs. I believe having dedicated devices for these tasks is a must.

Anarcho

This website has links to some third-party websites (like Spotify, Google, Goodreads and whatnot). I do not encourage you to use these, but doesn't mean I discourage tho. I actually DO believe using some of these impedes our freedom, tho, and that this world would be better without monopolies and social networks.
