There's still a lot to write up, but this website aims to collect together various projects I've done over the years, including:

I hope you find this stuff at least somewhat interesting, I certainly did.

This Website:

This website has been written entirely manually as an exercise in learning HTML and CSS. It's obviously pretty basic, but at the moment seems mostly fit for purpose.

Current planned improvements include better scaling for mobile devices and very large screens, and some sort of dark mode which auto-switches depending on the timezone from which the site is accessed.

I do not plan on switching to a website supplier/designer such as Squarespace, because apparently I'm a stubborn old fart trapped in a young man's body.
