After years of looking exactly the same, this blog finally got a fresh coat of paint. I’ve switched things over to a darker look: black background, light text, and a more code‑friendly feel that matches how I actually spend my time these days. If you’re reading this at night or in a dim room, it should be a little easier on the eyes than the old blinding white theme I set up years ago and never touched again. Behind the scenes, I also moved the site off WordPress.com and over to a local provider. That gives me more control over backups, themes, and customization, and lets me treat this blog a bit more like the rest of my projects instead of something I only poke at every few years .Nothing dramatic is changing about the content, but the plumbing and paint are finally caught up with the present. If something looks weird or broken in the new setup, feel free to let me know—and thanks for still stopping by after all this time.
