Hello World!

Hi there! My name is akts('Ashish') & you've reached my personal space on the web. I'm a network/system admin turned web developer, who got inspired by Jeffrey Way & xero to write and set up a website.

With a little(a mug .. maybe two of) coffee & a whole lot of metal, I build programs with JavaScript, Shell and C++.

For work, I mostly build webapps. You can take a look at my resume to know where I've been and what I've done.

Incase you're wondering, the site does have a humans.txt file and ofcourse there's a robots.txt file(courtesy of Neil Clarke). If you'd like to send me an encrypted message, here's my public key.

The blog

I don't write frequently as I should, but I do note down my musings. Over at the blog, you'll find what makes me tick. The things I share will mostly be about computing (not the hardcore stuff though, I'm still getting there). Most posts will be on random things, that I find interesting in the webdev and *nix realms.

What's the stack bruh!?

Both the site and the blog are just a couple of HTML+CSS files hosted on a droplet. The site is generated from a set of markdown files using a home-grown bash script, powered by lowdown. I used to write in just HTML, but I outgrew that. A dear friend showed me the path.

Why not use hugo or smarty pants SSG? Because I love it. It's fun and I'm learning about the evil ways of writing things from scratch.

This website tries to follow the wisdom of cool URLs don't change and is designed to last. Why not make a website and start your journey of tech independance?

My kryptonite

Incase my dear wife ever reads this, yes YOU are my one true kryptonite! Now onto the list :)

Other places to find me

That's all folks. Hope you have fun reading the blog, as I have writing it.

Have a great time!
