About this site

Goals

• Collect my thoughts from across the web
• Being public but not on a platform
• Lifelong investment in knowledge management
• Firmly stay within my technical knowledge, and only expand complexity as I am able to without relying on plugins etc that I do not fully understand (“Build the smallest, simplest thing you can”)

Inspirations for a simple personal website

• Jeff T K
• Vitalik
• Low-Tech Magazine
• Hundred Rabbits
• Gwern
• based.cooking
• Devon Zuegel
• Zettelkasten method ("slip box")
• flower.codes
• List of websites that primarily stick with simple, marked up, hyperlinked text like catern
• Wikipedia

Process

• Hosted on GitHub Pages (for now) with offline backups
• Often write in a word processor then export to simple HTML and drop into the page template
