Your entry is so moving, and the end is so empowering and beautiful. I was especially struck by "this one curls up small and shuts up, waits for the world to leave (you have such a well-behaved kid!)" as well as the whole metaphor of carefully sewing up what was never truly lost. Just, wow.

Fun to see the first entry in yet another format, and excited to see where else your stuff goes. Definitely relate a lot to all of these musings & takes on skin.

Ah, and here I thought it was just my cache. Looking forward to poking around on Firefox when I'm home from work, then!

The way the images look in nerd mode is *slick*! Very fun, fixed on Edge (I should stop checking neocities on my work computer)

Thank you! It took a while to figure out the right combination of filters to make images green like that- thanks to https://codepen.io/sosuke/pen/Pjoqqp, but I still had to tweak from that starting point.

As much as I love TMA, that wasn't inspired by it. :P I just wanted to write about music and went feeling about for interesting comparisons.

Looks fixed, fingers crossed. (There was also a regular update today- this came up incidentally)

I've shared a few with friends directly- my favorites were the ones on password safety and color scheme optimization. The first was well-explained and the second was something I'd never have thought to try (and the results are fantastic)!

Super fun to read your dreamy muse-prose-poem-vision. I especially love the way you describe the water going down and down. And checkov's harpoon guns! A real treat.
I've also been debating moving to some sort of site generator recently, now that I have less time to enjoy fussing around with the details and keeping sections synced. Tempted by the prospect of PHP but might just go the static site generator route to avoid hosting fees for now. Any suggestions or lessons to share?
PHP and SSI are both fantastic if you have them- there's a good bit of that sprinkled around my site (for example: automated rollover of sitelogs is via PHP includes). Eleventy is supposed to be the easiest SSG to learn- I tried, but honestly, I've been happier rolling my own scripts. There's a lot of Python glueing things together before they get uploaded. DIYing it makes the setup make innate sense to me.
Definitely depends how much time you want to spend on it, though, and what you find fun. A SSG almost certainly takes less time to learn than the time it takes to write and debug your own scripts (though it depends on implementation). But rolling my own scripts is enjoyable to me and is indirectly teaching me how SSGs work- I've had to read about them to work out how to implement a very simple version of them myself.

web1.0hosting.net supports SSI, possible to reuse HTML, much more convenient
Thanks for the tips! And the link to the article I knew you had but couldn't find. I suspect we have similar code-loving system-designing brains so I'm VERY tempted to make my own ssg but I have so little free time with the new job. Might start with eleventy and see if it annoys me enough to write up something that'll paste static bits together for me and convert markdown to html for essays.
