take twenty

Right now I’m in this dazed and confused phase that comes again — I guess it comes right after the biannual aneurysms a few weeks back.

When I’m in this mood, nothing really matters but it’s nice. It’s a comfortable indifference. But after going through these long-phase mood axises more than plenty, I know that what follows this is more despair and stagnation dreads.

To this end, I decided after all to create that forum I mentioned. Just by owning the domain and having a server running can act as a reminder that I don’t want to feel the pain and misery of stagnation when this amnesiac period ends.

I think what’s different about this one compared to the previous attempt to host a forum is that this forum is centered around a topic, which is nice, instead of the ambiguous mutual interests of creating websites. But that’s irrelevant anyway, because the whole point is its existence: serves as a reminder. To that end, I’m comfortable with it being a “forum” of one for however long it lasts.

The URL is nosurf.club. Here’s an invitation link. If you want to provide branding, or ideas, or custom software to help the objective, it’s not unwelcomed. But there really is no point to it other than its existence/reminder at this time.

I think the next project will be to create a neocities clone. Calling it “yeocities” and have the yee dinosaur as the mascot. Been struggling for weeks on the front end tech stack. Whether to choose vue or hotwired, or maybe something else.
