š This domains privacy policy is very simple...
This domain used to capture visitor stuff, id est, IP related "visitor stuff". This domain also used to sets cookies... old school and sadly... abused by the masses... I know... but was innocuous and effective enough for my simple needs. Those needs...? In a nutshell, primarily to provide a larger interval for IP detail lookups. A sort of stare and compare for when you returned (if you returned).
This domain also used to utilize browscap/browscap-php to assist in capturing some subtle visitor browser detail.
What I did to respect your data... IP addresses were anonymized after 30 days. All visitor data was automatically wiped after 90 days.
So... just to be clear... this is my personal web playground. I did stuff based on internet traffic, it was what I did. If you visited this domain you were included as part of... my development noodlin'...
“The” very best remedy for any visitor... regarding any of the aforementioned conditions... was simply this... do NOT visit this domain...?!
But I no longer do any of that... it is just my web presence... a playground.
š§ Just a brief outline of this domains' continual overhaul/deconstruction...
Was heavy vanilla JavaScript, <style> was forced
dark mode...
via Bootstrap...
when considering style, I chose utility
over component whenever possible.
A moderate mobile first development premise was used... base device was a Pixel, so roughly a 412 pixel width? Smaller devices or device rotation was never considered (oops... my bad).
Server-side: It's your basic "shared" LAMP stack... built on a home rolled framework.
Client-side:
Was tons of vanilla JS, there was also minimal usage of vendor libraries bootstrap, leaflet, luxon.
Each of the vendor APIs were delivered locally; as, of course, CDNs
drop and check tracking cookies upon each request/consumption.
Ya you wouldn't believe the extreme rewrite... I went back to hand coding. Opinionated frameworks... no longer grab my interest. I fell in love with coding, the art of watching a website come alive a few lines at a time. I currently do use Bulma like raw, right out of the box. And way too many emoji's.
šØš½āš» WIP... this section may or may not ever be completed. Nah... doubt it. Testing one... two... three...
I am a full stack hack... can code without the use of AI.
My first Internet position was via a talent agency, who graciously picked me up right out of the Boston University Corporate Education Center... Web Designer program. I actually quit my day job delivering liquid propane and went all in for the career change.
Fast-forward some 26 years... and I have managed to keep myself employed as a developer for one software outfit or another; sweet... As this is my 61st trip around the sun, I wouldn't dream of inundating you with 46 some odd years of work history... not a chance.
With the advent of AI, I feel a lot of these programs will fall to the wayside. If the AI knows how to do something, why should a human still learn to do it, right? Iād still like to recommend the following (in no particular order):
- laracasts.com
- angularstart.com — Although I'm not particularly fond of Google—or any of its products—at any level, the office, alas, feels differently.
Lastly... HUGE all things Proton fanboy... try Proton for 14 days free...
