<h2 class="mt-0">Hello world!</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>My name is <strong>Noah</strong> and this is my website, where I primarily keep
|
|
my blog. I'm a 30 year-old software engineer living in Los Angeles.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>My interests include programming, creative writing, various forms of what could
|
|
be loosely defined as "art," including some dabbling with 3D modeling and
|
|
Flash animations. I'm a "high functioning introvert," and when I manage to
|
|
get out of the house, I like to go hiking with my dog and my partner. For
|
|
several years I could be found at Disneyland every couple of weekends.</p>

<h3>Music Taste</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>I don't listen to music much, instead tending to work in silence, but when
|
|
I do, these are some artists I'm into recently (links open to a YouTube
|
|
video of a song of theirs that I like):</p>

<h2>Geeky Stuff</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This website is open source. I wrote the back-end in Go this time at
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/kirsle/blog">kirsle/blog</a>, and my front-end
|
|
template files are readable <a href="https://github.com/kirsle/kirsle.net">on GitHub</a>
|
|
too. But those aren't very interesting.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Having learned to make websites in the early 2000's, I think we should
|
|
return to the days of <a href="http://dynamicdrive.com/">Dynamic HTML</a>
|
|
instead of these overly bloated web applications. My website speaks <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol">HTTP</a>,
|
|
serves <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML">HTML</a> pages, has <code><form></code>s that actually <code>POST</code>,
|
|
and the little bits of JavaScript I add are to enhance the experience slightly.
|
|
My website works fine with all scripts disabled.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I somewhat miss the earlier Internet days when websites had background
|
|
images rather than racing to the bottom with simplicity. My website has been described as
|
|
"hipster," but I like it this way, and it's
|
|
<a href="https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=referer">HTML5 standards compliant</a>.
|
|
Usually.</p>

<h3>Privacy</h3>
|
|
|
|
In this post-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden">Snowden</a>
|
|
era, maybe we should be more privacy conscious. Kirsle.net does not use any third-party
|
|
advertisements or analytics tools. I <a href="/do-you-need-to-store-that-ip-address">don't want to know</a>
|
|
your IP address, either. My website handles its own blog comments, rather than
|
|
using something like Disqus, which invades your privacy as you visit the websites
|
|
that use it.
