Monocle Geoffchard's intermittent ramblings
I am someone in their early 30s who missed out on the glory days of the internet by being too young. I'm sick of SEO and AI and algorithms making every website absolute garbage. I probably have ADHD (diagnosis pending)* and therefore I have a million different hobbies and interests. I am hoping to use this site as a place to dump all the things that I've learned that are impossible to find on the modern internet. However, the aforementioned ADHD means you may well come across this website in four years time and find that it hasn't moved on from this initial placeholder. Sorry!
*Update: Diagnosis confirmed. Elvanse is amazing (apart from the stomach cramps) and would you look at that, I actually made it back. Not sure much will happen though!
Disclaimer, 08/03/2025: 'know' HTML and CSS things is still a very loose term. I'm having plenty of arguments with it all and currently have at least three 'how do I...' tabs open.
OK so I am in no way a graphic designer so the colour scheme will probably always remain Interesting. However, my page status:
- Making it look like a website: done I have very low standards
- Adding some navigation: not done
- Making pictures work on small screens: done
- Making the layout work on small screens: not done
