The musings of a grumpy hairless ape
Website
Design & Build
The site is written in Markdown and built into a site using Hugo.
The site theme was built from scratch by myself and is custom to the content and style of this site.
There is a small amount of javascript used on the site to control the light/dark mode selection (detail here) and to hide my email on the about page. The site is otherwise plain text and images only.
Most of the site layout is done via CSS, particularly CSS Flex Grid, and it should cleanly resize to different screen sizes (including images).
The underlying page layout template has been done so that it should degrade cleanly on older or text mode browsers, though this hasn’t been extensively tested.
Hosting
The site is composed of static files only so doesn’t require any active server side processing (e.g. PHP, etc.).
The site it hosted on a Mythic Beasts shared hosting plan. I did previously host on a Mythic Beasts VPS, however as the site is static files and doesn’t require any server side processing it was overhead that I finally decided I didn’t need, so in early 2026 I moved to the shared hosting.

A single setting is used in local browser storage to record a choice of light or dark mode. If the setting is missing or removed it will default to your OS display setting.
No web server logs are configured to be collected by me (Mythic Beasts however may log for support purposes)
