Open it up and see what's wrong."</blockquote> <p>This phrase is mostly what my life revolves around. Tinkering, making, repairing, and improving the world through these outlets is what I strive to do in my lifetime.</p> <p>This site is my anti social media and is where I post about my life and school projects (when allowed) and serves as a way to keep up with my appreciation for software programming. The backend is written in <a href="https://go.dev" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Go</a> (source can be found <a href="https://notabug.org/thinkpadmaster/alexscerba.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">at notabug.org</a>) and uses a templating system to keep hand-editing of pages to a bare minimum.</p> <p>I keep my <a href="http://alexscerba.com:8080" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">old site</a> hosted for posterity. The blog page and others are extremely slow to load due to amount of content on the pages and size of images, but it is a fun project to look back on.</p> <p>Contact me at <a href="mailto:ascerba@collegeforcreativestudies.edu">ascerba@collegeforcreativestudies.edu</a></p> </section> {{ end }}
