Welcome to my Workshop

I'm Artsie, and this website is my personal workshop. I host a number of single page apps (as in apps that consist entirely of one .php file) you can find in the navbar. It is entirely written from scratch in Vanilla PHP, mostly because it's a very low maintenance technology, and because most of what I do at *work* is written in Vanilla PHP.

If you're interested in reading what I've been reading, check out my list of links. These are articles I've stumbled on from around the web that I've either read and thought interesting enough to return to, or wanted to finish reading later. For some of them, I've even written "reviews".

Why Does This Site Exist?

There is no business on this website. Of my many sites, this is the only one that I enjoy visiting, working on, and using. All of the others have a purpose for other people. But here, this is mine. If you don't find it useful, feel free to move on and have a great day. More people should have a personal home page built specifically for their needs and for the joy of the web. The internet is corporatized, and the web is suffering. People no longer understand that there's a distinction between the two. The web is for us. Regular people who just want to express themselves from their own corner. This is mine.

If you would like to get in contact with me, even if it's just to chit chat about life, you can send an email to my mailbox 📭. Please write more than a paragraph, use an interesting subject, and do not pitch me on your business. I will block you from my inbox without ever responding otherwise. Have the dignity to talk to me like the stranger I am, and not just as a metric.
