Besides the pretty self-explanatory title, this page is partly a homage to the initial release of this website which had a frequently asked questions section inside of an 'About' page even if at the time there weren't that many. Hoping this list saves you typing an e-mail or two asking a question that might already have an answer here.
No.
Some folks have figured this out already, but just to clear it up:
roaming → C:\Users\You\AppData\Roaming folder on Windows.
97 → Windows 9x because of vaporwave (explained further
in the next question).
Despite the utterly unoriginal nickname, I have refused to change it after all these years because that would imply doing a complete rebuild of the significant footprint I've left online, which I honestly can't be bothered to do at this stage.
Back in 2017 I used to listen to vaporwave.
As some of you may know, it involved 'Windows 9X' and the rise of personal computing in the 80's as one of its stylistic elements. With that in mind, I used the old Windows flag as my legacy logo throughout 2017 and 2018 (not a logo I necessarily have the rights to), then proceeded to redesign that logo with some aspects from the Windows flag (which was still not very original). Finally, I designed the current logo from scratch to finally leave a dependency of another logo behind for good, no more copyright infringement!
My website went online for the first time on the 20th of August, 2018. At the time I was pretty displeased with how aggresive YouTube's video compression was (and still is) so I wanted to host my videos and allowing them to be easily saved. Videos wouldn't be the only thing I'd host, though. I planned to host blog articles and different creative resources for designers and videographers; managing to only host the former haphazardly.
It also served as a way to grasp the web development fundamentals and apply them to an actual project, my own website seemed like a good choice, it gave me all the freedom in the world to make mistakes and learn along the way. I used plain HTML and CSS for the initial version of my website, slowly incorporating jQuery, then moving to vanilla JavaScript once ES6 covered most of what jQuery could do, then SvelteKit using Node.js, and finally Astro with Bun and some Svelte sprinkled on for interactivity.
Honestly I could write an entire book on what being the webmaster of this place for the past several years has been like, but to sum it up, it has been really fun. That's why this website is the place I am by far the most active in.
I purchased my current computer in August 2025, replacing my previous one after seven years of usage.
