π This domains privacy policy is very simple...
This domain used to capture visitor data... id est, IP-related "stuff"... It also set cookies... old school and sadly... abused by the masses... I know... but it was innocuous and effective enough for my simple needs. Those needs...? In a nutshell, primarily to provide a larger interval for IP detail look-ups. A sort of stare-and-compare when you returned... if you returned.
This domain also utilized browscap/browscap-php to assist in capturing some subtle visitor browser detail.
What I did to respect your data... IP addresses were anonymized after 30 days. All visitor data was automatically wiped after 90 days.
So... just to be clear... this is my personal web playground. I did stuff based on internet traffic... it was what I did. If you visited this domain, you were included as part of... my development noodlin'.
"The" very best remedy for any visitor... regarding any of the aforementioned conditions... was simply this... do NOT visit this domain...?!
But I no longer do any of that... it is just a simple web presence.
π§ Just a brief outline of this domains' continual overhaul/deconstruction...
Was heavy vanilla JavaScript, <style> was forced
dark mode...
via Bootstrap... now it's
via Pico β¨;
when considering style, I chose utility
over component whenever possible. But Pico changed all that...
A moderate mobile first development premise was used... base device was a Pixel, so roughly a 412 pixel width? Smaller devices or device rotation was never considered (oops... my bad).
Server-side: It was your basic "shared" LAMP stack... built on a home rolled framework.
Client-side:
Was tons of vanilla JS, there was also minimal usage of vendor libraries bootstrap, leaflet, luxon.
Each of the vendor APIs were delivered locally; as, of course, CDNs
drop and check tracking cookies upon each request/consumption.
Ya you wouldn't believe the extreme rewrite... I went back to hand coding. Opinionated frameworks... no longer grab my interest. I fell in love with coding, the art of watching a website come alive a few lines at a time. I currently do use Pico β¨ like raw, right out of the box. And way too many emoji's.
π¨π½βπ» WIP... this section may or may not ever be completed. Nah... doubt it. Testing one... two... three...
I am a full stack hack... can and do code without the use of AI.
My first Internet position was via a talent agency, who graciously picked me up right out of the Boston University Corporate Education Center... Web Designer program. I actually quit my day job delivering liquid propane and went all in for the career change.
Fast-forward some years... and I have managed to keep myself employed as a developer for one software outfit or another; sweet... As this is my trip around the sun, I wouldn't dream of inundating you with some odd years of work history... nope, not a chance.
Also a bassist... πΆπ΅
