Who?

Well, usually everywhere I just go by Sam. You can see most of my links (including here!) from my website. I am kind of a scatterbrain of interests, where I can talk about things like history, finance, technology and most recently law.

This box/pubnix/whatever was my idea to begin with. I asked ~grumb if he wanted to help run it to and he said yes, so we now run it together.

I have finally fleshed some of my pages out! Check out my pages on both Gopher and Gemini.

Why?

It really boils down to three things:

  1. Why not? With all of the chaos of the modern Internet, taking things slow can be good. Why suffer the slings and arrows of chaos when you can just chill? See my blog post about how less is more.
  2. I saw places like the tildezone and thought it was a cool concept of a previous age.
  3. I had a spare server lying around.

So the ZONE came into being.

Contact me

I have a blog. That is the main place I write. It is also accessible via a phlog that is a mirror. I also have both an XMPP and a Matrix account. Email is available too, but to deter scrapers I am not going to publicly share it here. It is available on both Gopher and Gemini. Plus, it is the same as my XMPP address.

I do not use social media much, but I am available over both the fediverse and bluesky. I have no alts, except when I do. Maybe I will post on my snac more.

Obligatory anime girl

The only thing down here is an anime girl, scroll down if you like. Or not. rin.jpg Ok, I lied.

Software Used

I made this page using a CSS style called Neat CSS and a Markdown to HTML software called lowdown. That and a shell script is all I use to make this website.
