4/5/2024 It All Feels Too Much Man.

I have to keep reminding myself that the next 20 years can't be as eventful as my first, because, I just feel so exhausted. The idea that I could *ever* have to live as much as I have again drains the life from me. It all feels so much. Apparently, this is just a phase people have at 20 so I hope it passes because I can not be looking forward to retirement this much, before I even land a first job.

12/3/2024 Wellcome to The Worst Way to Blog!

OK, so reading up on why people move to the web, web accessibility, and the need for mobile design I am slowly regretting how I've spent my time. Given you 100% missed it I went full force and had my homepage built with frames, guess what? Frames are very difficult to make accessible, all the pages I looked at basically said they were phased out for that reason. I spent so long building, testing and customising only to delete three pages of code. Another thing that was mentioned was that bad spelling isn't accessible, so back to square one. In the meantime, I might as well introduce myself.

I picked the name Tet from an anime I only half-remembered at the time, No Game, No Life. I remember liking the character and the anime back when I was around twelve or under but looking back I can see the many issues in it. I find it hard to watch the anime I did growing up now so I choose not to. I've lived In Australia all of my life and despite my hatred of the Five Eyes I plan to continue to live here. Friendly advice, basic Proton is free. :) Another part of accessibility is spelling so I hope you appreciate Grammarly's input in fixing everything.

5/3/2024 What Is It All For, Just To Suffer?

Hello, Call me Tet and although building a website is painful it seems way better than dealing with Social Media. My friends are more successful than me and I hate it. It's a good time for me to mention that making your own website means no autocorrect so you will have to live with my trash spellings. I work out again and again that I hate social media, I hate seeing all my friends post about awesome stuff they do or things they make, and I hate seeing them do well. So should I work on myself as a person? Yes, but I still feel social media has expectations that I hate. It just assumes everyone's goal is to be famous and I over time have come to terms with that not being what I want. I don't want to be famous, sometimes I don't even want to be seen. I want to talk to my friends and have them tell me how they are doing, not some algorithm. I truly just want connections to feel real again, for things to feel authentic and good. I hate how sending memes is so easy it replaces conversation and all the talk of "low-maintenance friendships".

I've moved a lot all over the country and yes, sometimes it's ok for relationships to go months or even years without talking but that's not the same as not speaking to those who live in your city, not reaching out when there are common communities. I've grown more and more fond of what I heard somewhere, that social circles are getting too large. Through moving I have had the ability to shed friendships that I, for better or for worse no longer want to pause. On the other end, I know what it takes to maintain a relationship. It's not as easy as the occasional "How are you?" Want the secret? Let those you love know, if you are thinking of people tell them. Be honest and vulnerable, and do things, real things, whenever you are able. Online communities are great but I think everyone needs and deserves to have brunch with someone they love, to look into your friend's eyes after a long day and just be grateful. I'm done with knowing what my friends are doing for algorithms. I want to know from them. I'm doing all this to feel something again, something analog, or close to. Thank you a lot for reading, I'm grateful you did. :)

27/3/2024 I found some old games and old tryed some old code.

Hello dear reader, Site-making update: I have now made the most basic blog page but after weeks of making pages and then finding out just how inaccessible they are only to need to go back and delete them again and again I'm a little done rn. I tried Frameset only to look up how to make them accessible and was just met with a page that boiled down to "you can't lol, it's way too hard. Who even uses them anymore." So this is what people get. Personal update: I was late to submit the second assignment I had for the year. I have no clue how but boy was that not ideal. I've gotten back into CDs again as I found American Idiot at the Op-Shop for $1. I have an old Walkman CD player I use sometimes and it's been nice to go to sleep with something other than Foster The People, Touches. Yes, I would fall asleep to Pumped Up Kicks. Aren't I cool and edgy? I have two more assignments to do by Sunday at 9, forgot there was a time last week and just worked until 12. I should have just gone to bed. It's Wednesday today. I found Flight Sim x Gold Edition for $3 but I still need to check if that can work. I plan to have Linex on my old PC that has a disk drive so it will be interesting to see if I can play "retro" games on it. I also picked up Zoo Tycoon 2 when I grabbed the Green Day so that was neat.
