I've gone back and forth for a while on whether my main website cactusdan.com should be a professional website or a personal website. So for years it's been in kind of a superposition of both, not terribly personal or professional so unfit for either purpose. Since my employment has been stable I've finally settled on just making it a personal website. If I want a professional website in the…
I've been using the internet for a long time now. Since I don't use most social media, I use my browser's bookmark functionality to save any interesting websites I've come across, knowing that I'll never be able to find them again otherwise. For a while I've thought about sharing these bookmarks online as a permanent repository of anything on the internet that I think is worth sharing. Some of…
The website and blog use a dark theme now. It's bothered me for a bit that the look and feel of my website isn't what I would choose for any other software I'd make, so that's fixed now. Definitely been a slower couple of years for personal projects, which is to be expected as I've since graduated and been working full time and living on my own. I got into modding worldbox, and the two mods I've…
I just uploaded some updates to my main website. I changed the projects page to be a vue app, which has let me easily create a sortable, searchable list of projects I've done. It shows tags based on what technologies they used, such as Java, SQL, Godot etc. Funnily enough, these changes had been nearly complete since may, but I forgot to upload them until now. I also updated the markov chain…
I've been using RSS for over a year to manage the things I like to read. I was inspired to do so after reading Nicky Case's page on the subject, which I highly recommend. As someone who doesn't use traditional social media, instead getting my information and entertainment from many disparate websites, RSS is a lifesaving tool. Previously I would literally check every site I wanted to stay updated…

Pretty much everything is working against me leaving my room. I work remote, most of my friends live in different cities, and nearly all of my hobbies involve a computer. I've found that it only takes one full day without going outside to make me feel slightly crazy, so I make an effort to leave my house on purpose. The effects are universally positive. I feel noticeably better and my days feel…
I made the current design for my main site in January 2022. It's a huge improvement over the design that came before, which was descended from my personal site for a javascript class I took in Fall 2020. Here you can see what that design looked like. However something that bugs me is that I'm only adding more links to my site, and having one big scrollbar is going to get unwieldy in the future. My…
With about a day left till voting ends, seems like as good of a time as any to do my LDJam 52 post-mortem. My game for LDJam 52 was called "Soulful Harvest." Contrary to the name you don't actually harvest souls, but you prevent ghosts from stealing the crops that you DO harvest. What I believe was the most important experience I got from making Soulful Harvest was having to make significant…
