i've been spending more time offline lately and doing more drawing instead. i ended up making a new tutorial overlay thing on my homepage (ellesho.me/page) in the style of visual novel games ^-^

new blog post about that and other stuff i've been thinking about here: ellesho.me/page/website...

how's everyone been around here? i've been mostly offline, spending a lot of time tinkering with linux so there aren't many new front facing homepage changes, just little behind the scenes edits.

if you want to read about my recent linux adventures, here's a new post: ellesho.me/page/website...

this week's homepage update brings some texture to my flat pages via css svg filters (◕‿◕)♡

read about that and more of my framework/fedora linux adventuring in my new blog entry: ellesho.me/page/website...

i finally gave in to using embedded fonts after i looked at my homepage on linux and decided the generic fonts weren't cutting it (⌒_⌒;) i also added some more people to the blogroll and some other stuff

i'm back on my ascii bs ^-^ i made a new addition to my homepage ellesho.me/page – a handy map! i was inspired design-wise by old text-based mud games. now u have another nav option to find your way around the pages easier

and here's a new blog post about it: ellesho.me/page/website...

this is exactly why i love using rss feeds on my homepage. i can independently loop in and make all sorts of things with friends and services across the web without them having to do anything differently on their end other than have an rss feed of their own ^-^

my homepage is one year old! to celebrate its bday, i made a wayback machine/time machine in this update so u can take a trip down memory lane (⌒_⌒;) thanks to everyone who's visited over the year <3 ellesho.me/page

did some more work on the cursor chat on my homepage. now there's a cursor character select and i also completely redid the domain chat name system so it uses only pgp keys now ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ ellesho.me/page

i saw @elliottcost.bsky.social post about putting an internet phone book badge on websites. i took it further and added a dialer to mine. hope that's ok (⌒_⌒;) ellesho.me/page

new blog post about that + some loose thoughts with things i've been watching/reading lately: ellesho.me/page/website...

nice! hope it's okay that i just recreated the badge in my own code bc i didn't want to use iframe (⌒_⌒;)

and thanks for putting the phone book together <3 (i am waiting patiently for reprint to get one)

i made a nice title screen on the root url of my homepage since my actual page is in the /page subdirectory. u can see it here: ellesho.me

i challenged myself to do it all with just css! no images or fonts (⌒_⌒;)

long blog post about inspiration and why/how i made this: ellesho.me/page/website...

i made a blogroll feed thing on ellesho.me/page ^-^ to help me keep up with some personal blogs of ppl i know/have met around the internet. hope some of u don't mind that i drew u as little pixel person (⌒_⌒;)

here's a blog entry about my thought/design process: ellesho.me/page/website...

refined some small details on my 404 page and added a zoom view for the readings pop up on my homepage because it was a bit of a pain to read long titles in just the small isometric view ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ellesho.me/page

blogged about that + other random thoughts about life here: ellesho.me/page/website...

new homepage level unlocked (⌒_⌒;) i made a proper 404 page. it wasn't originally going to be interactive but things got out of control ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ if u visit any non-existent url on ellesho.me/page, u will end up in the forest

read about this update and more here: ellesho.me/page/website...

only small homepage updates this week. i added a subtle animated transition on the source viewer and fixed some of the ascii art and formatting

i was going to write about some other stuff in my blog but it just turned into a rant about the ai ghibli slop trend ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ellesho.me/page/website...

i've been sick lately but i made some inefficient (non-derogatory) updates to my homepage like inlining my js on the front page and converting my author photo into a high density ascii composition ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ellesho.me/page/

read about it in my blog post: ellesho.me/page/website...

ascii x-ray mode now on my homepage ellesho.me/page/

kidding (⌒_⌒;) it's just a custom source code viewer for your convenience. u can read my thought process about this in my blog: ellesho.me/page/website...
