On the 24th of December 2024 I cancelled my hosting service and most of my internet presence went offline. I switched to a different service within greenhost that meant I had a bit more agency over the files that I uploaded to their servers. I quickly added the html files of my website and then left it at that.
Last week I started a few more things up again, I remade and set up my linkflower (linktree replacement) and then I set about reuploading my journal entries. I originally used Kirby for the writing and pictures I uploaded but it somehow seemed a bit heavy for what it was, so I decided to switch to a static-site generator called Eleventy. I wanted to be able to simplify the process so that I could write on my laptop, generate the site on my laptop and then just upload the files to the server.
This new "notes" website is the outcome of that. I migrated my old posts from Kirby over to Eleventy so that I don't lose them so easily and I'm setting this space up to be a bit more note-taking orientated. More scraps, than posts.
I've been inspired by a few other people who are adding thoughts to the web (Piper, Elliott, Robin, Alice, Becca) and also through the recent use of an RSS reader thats helped me simply see the kind of things I want to see. This is why I've added a feed to this that you're welcome to use.
