Hiya! Welcome to my small corner of the world-wide web.
More coming posthaste; check back soon, follow me
on
Neocities,
maybe.
I’ve been cleaning up the CSS, and adding some classic
small-web styling; let me know if you find anything that
looks out-of-place.
About Me
You stand by a calm green lake surrounded by thick reeds.
The sun feels pleasantly warm, gray cygnets bob gently in
the water. You become aware of a blue figure waving for your
attention and upon hesitantly waving back, they reply with a
wide grin and double thumbs-up.
Shout, “Hullo! Who are you?”…
The reply is distant, but clear:
I’m Finch D. River!
I’m 21, Ukonian,
doing very little university work,
programming dumb shit in
D,
Erlang,
Haskell,
Racket,
+ others,
using
Emacs
running on
Void Linux,
recovering from RSI (i.e. using fancy keyboards),
typing at ~140wpm on Dvorak,
listening to music constantly, often from minidiscs,
reading, (not as much as I should, usually nonfiction anyway),
Esperanto-ing (saluton), wanting to use Lidepla
(namastee),
swimming, albeit not recently,
learning new things.
You feel that the stranger has overshared somewhat.

Formatting & Conventions
Keyboard shortcuts are Emacs-style:

Dates are in ISO yyyy-mm-dd
format:
Inline code snippets:
(message "Hello!")
Code blocks indicate filename, language, and output where
used:
It’s a great read already, but something about the beach
improves a book. Despite inevitable sand in the spine, the
wave sounds mingling with peoplenoise, and a breeze to
offset the sun provides a less formal environment than a
library, but just as calming. Or maybe I’m just vitamin D
deprived.
Chances are, it’s too bright to look at your phone
anyway. Try taking a book next time, just in case.
I Program HTML
I once thought of
HTML as a
data-format written by site/document generators and
masochists.
Yet a friend accused me of being quick to judge. What
cheek! And so I brushed up on HTML5+CSS3 to prove once
again that my opinions are (as usual) perfectly formed now
and forever.
Long-story-short, I’ve become pleased with what just a
little experimenting (and CSS-selectors) can make. HTML
has limitations, but they are healthy if your aim is
simple, semantic web documents. It’s been a while since I
had my own site, and I decided to start one up as a little
passion project.
Please note: I’m no web designer; I’m an internet
person trying my best and having fun. Hopefully you will
too. At least for now, I aim to hand-write (some of) this
site, and make the source as readable (within reason) as
the formatted version, bar color.
