Decisions, decisions...
The more I keep thinking about it, the more I want to create a bare-bones website for myself. The hard decision is, hosting. One logical choice would be to go with slowass.net, similar to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scrottie's old personal site. If I can get him to help me decide on a simple ftping method to use. The last site I put together was back in 2002, after I took an intro to computer science class. That one had a good run - you can still see photos of my kitty as a kitten on there, yay. I still like it, but I don't want to have to move it around too much more, so I don't want it to be tied to a university. I also don't think I want Google to run it. Sorry, Google, I just don't trust you to leave me be with my old-skool html. And honestly, I could see slowass.net going two ways: just fine, or with me feeling like I don't have control over what I'm doing, which would defeat the purpose of the site. (In contrast, I still feel reasonably in control on Livejournal, despite the miscellaneous administrative changes that have been made over my years of blogging. Journal posts just won't provide the organizational system I'm hoping for.)
And so, I haven't settled on anything, yet. Don't expect anything all that exciting; it will mostly be a collection of lists that are relevant to me, plus a calendar. Plus maybe some research tools and info, and some recipes. All of the stuff that I'd like to be able to access remotely, at any time.
