Is not here yet...

As of last updating this page, there's nothing here, but I felt it'd be good to have an outpost here just in case anything happens.

In the meantime, you can check out my site & my other socials here:

Or for the curious-types, read more about this site (or lack there of) below:

Why make an outpost here?

Why not?

But on a serious note, because of some of the uncertanty revolving around Neocities (where my site's currently hosted). While as of updating the main point of concern hasn't been implimented, Kyle Drake the maintainer of Neocities has been expressing interest in AI tools (infamously in this blog post) & adding AI assistants into Neocities (discussed in this reddit thread)

There's a good readup on this and a signable petition calling for the hault of any AI / ML projects for Neocities over on ai-petition.neocites.org for those interested.

I encourage you to read & draw your own conclusions. For mine, while (thankfully) there's no mentions of wanting to scrape websites, it does leave a sour taste in my mouth considering this isn't something many web-revival folk want.

One of the main reasons people have been building their own sites again is to escape things like AI, so I'm not sure why this is a priority over other things (IDE improvements, dealing with spammers, to list some better areas to focus on in my opinion).

I think having a page set up on Nekoweb would at least give me some peace of mind in the event anything happens.

Why haven't you migrated?

It's a lot more complex than it seems...

• I'd have to move my domain over: I have it set-up there for both my main & my portfolio site. And moving a domain to another host from what I've heard can take a while. I don't want to do this on a whim' and risk too much downtime for either.
• I haven't been able to backup my site: Not sure what this bug is, but the last few backups I did on neocities came out broken. Meaning I can't take advantage of nekoweb's import feature just yet
• I'm working on a site overhaul: This is a massive project in itself with it's own hurdles. I guess it'll be easy to pack up everything & move in once I'm done, but I don't want to add too many 'to-dos' to my website in the meantime (especially since it's had enough delays as is)
• I am tired: Every goddamn website is on fire for one reason or another. I'm already dealing with loosing my biggest art sites and trying to figure out what socials I'm gonna be on. I need a break before doing another major migration.
