All good websites have a blog

This is my personal blog section, where you can find a variety of charming rambling from yours truly. They go back to the very start of my webdev journey. Enjoy!

Return Of The King

09 Mar 2024

In true bluescreening tradition, I’m opening this blog entry with the phrase “it’s been a while”. And indeed it has! Over five months in fact. Those months have been spent frantically doing uni work and extracurriculars, and bullying my lovely girlfr...
You Better Work Bitch

05 Sep 2023

Hello hello! Not much to update on from last time, aside from the fact I’ve started my new job and it’s going well. My coworkers are mostly lovely and shifts are far from hellish so I suppose that’s a win! The real challenge is trying to find a way t...
2020 Vision

20 Aug 2023

Hey, so you know how last time I was hoping I wouldn’t get covid? Well, I got covid! This is pretty much the first day since I got it where I’ve been coherent enough to write a blog, but I’m feeling much better now and hoping to be out tomorrow. My r...
Woe, Unemployment Be Upon Ye

15 Aug 2023

Welp, since I last wrote I’ve had another two job interviews and had no luck! I’ve got another one today, but methinks this will be my last chance of employment before the end of the summer so let’s hope it goes well… I’m not sure if I just keep gett...
Denim Day

27 Jul 2023

Good evening besties. Thought I’d throw out a quick blog entry today. I haven’t had much to do on account of no job and no jobs available, so instead I tailored some jeans. I ordered a 30w30l pair from Superdry, but I think their ruler must be broken...
Site Update Life Update

26 Jul 2023

WEll. Jesus H Christ, I have finally finished doing the CSS and file structure updates for this site! You’ll notice I’ve made my first forays into Javascript, though I haven’t made them myself. I’ve also decided I’d like to join a couple of webrings ...
Finally Free (again)

22 Jun 2023

Well, it seems like every time I update this blog it starts with ‘hey, it’s been a long time!’, but opening Neocities and seeing ‘last updated: 6 months ago’ really hammered home for me just how much the site has been sidelined in favour of universit...
Moving Swiftly On

26 Sep 2022

Hi slimes :) sorry I’ve been absent for a while. I’ve been playing unhealthy amounts of Splatoon 3 for a few weeks, and not much else. It’s a lovely game, though it very much feels like it could have been a DLC for Splatoon 2. Still, I’ll be playing ...
Jared, 19

11 Sep 2022

Good morning sweethearts! I know I say this literally every entry, but it’s been a while! I haven’t been feeling particularly website-y recently, I guess. Got other things to focus on - such as preparing for university! Everyone’s organising last-min...
Overachiever

19 Aug 2022

Hiya besties!!! It’s been a hot second since I’ve updated with anything other than a crazed rant about a good movie. So here’s the big news…

I GOT INTO OXFORD!!!

Yeah that’s right babey, I’m going to the UK’s most prestigious universi...

Working full time sucks BALLS.

Honestly just tempted to leave today’s entry at just that, but I really shouldn’t considering I haven’t updated since last month. And honestly, the work isn’t that bad! It’s management that’s awful. Never work a...
Blue Gets Nostalgic Again

24 Jul 2022

Update 2024-03-06: The forum mentioned in this article is no longer active.

Yannow, I downloaded Visual Studio Code the other day so I could do coding for this site on there, and then I’ve spent all morning continuing to faff around on the Ne...
Climate Crisis

21 Jul 2022

Ok so lemme talk about this recent heat for a second.

My family are very eco-friendly. We have cavity wall insulation in our house to reduce heating costs in the winter, so we don’t have to use the boiler at all most years. That’s how good ou...
Fearless

11 Jul 2022

Hello darlings!

So, as promised, here’s your little update of my Exciting Couple Of Days. First of all, pride! Pride was incredible. It started with a march through the city. My girlfriend lent me a lesbian flag and we marched together. I eve...
New Beginnings

08 Jul 2022

NOTE (2023-07-26): The forum I mention in this is no longer active - sorry!

Afternoon my luvvers. These next few days are going to be very, very exciting.

First of all, it seems like I have developed a habit of getting super drunk and...
Finally Free(ish)

01 Jul 2022

Good evening, or good morning, depending on where you are and when you’re reading this. So I’m done with exams now, which is pretty dope. I’m scared that I didn’t get the grades for Oxford, which would suck because I’ve kinda based my whole identity ...
Where Am I At

03 Jun 2022

Dear diary.

I’m doing the escapism thing again. I do it quite a lot - spend most of my time in someone else’s imagined world, because I don’t want to face the real one, or it’s too scary or stressful. Probably not the greatest coping mechanis...
Pre Exam Ramble

19 May 2022

OH BOY IT’S BEEN A HOT SECOND HUH! And my last entry was a whole rant and everything… well today’s will be a little more informal I think. Let me see what I’ve been up to since I last talked to you.

Uh……….

Ok so there actually isn’t a...
Gotta Go Fast

19 Apr 2022

Hello there my darlings. It’s been a hot minute but to beoh jeez dinner’s ready. Back in a moment I guess.

OK I’m back! Sorry, couldn’t be late for my bangers and mash and then there was a weird old episode of Battlestar Galactica on the horr...
Hunting For Giants

11 Apr 2022

Good evening to the 3 people who are looking at my blog. That sounds salty. I’m not, I swear - I quite like that this is fairly anonymous. To be honest it’s almost like a journal. I really struggle with physically writing stuff, I’ve discovered. When...
Hello World

10 Apr 2022

Well hello there everyone. Yesterday I was exhausted (no sleep), ill (exposed myself to cats which I am allergic to for 12 hours) and probably hungover (very good night out). So, I did the logical thing, which was making a website apparently. This is...
