Made in wordpress over a decade ago, and wordpress gradually enshittified. It's been a long-running wish to switch to something else, but it's never been important enough relative to other things I could be doing.

I sometimes blog about Mega Drive / Genesis stuff or modern things I find interesting :)

Happy browsing/linking!

It's just an introduction to me and where I work/what I do. So bioinformatics, simulation software, and HPC. I was going to start a blog but then realized that's more effort than I want to put in ;)

p.s. I'm looking for a job

If only there was a language that could run in all of our browsers, maybe even easily executable via some Quake-like console window that could open next to the website, that could just grab all visible URLs within some specific parts... Oh well ;)

Hoping to blog more this year.

I've been really inspired to blog more thanks to HN. -- not much, but it's a start.

Try clicking around, moving the mouse, scroll wheel, or refreshing the page.

It's fully open source (MIT) as well. I write and post essays there. Currently making a library.

I write blogs with interactive components on research and personal projects.

Combination of a bit of an intro to who I am and my blog

I haven't updated it in a long time. The goal when I built it was that it loaded quickly.

If anyone has any leads on a comment system that isn't a spam magnet and also works acceptably with a static site, I'm all ears.

I have a plan of making it a "proper" webpage with more sub-pages for hobbies and such. But right now its a 90's style page with some info and a lot of links.

I'm long overdue adding something, work has been keeping me occupied of late.

Not very thoroughly populated but here's another one for the pile

I write occasionally for my own pleasure and enjoyment.

https://blog.atomic14.com

I'm a turntablist and scratch DJ, been running my site since 2006. I mix and dj mainly old rave stuff and old hip hop. I'm oldskool in that i like to provide free mp3 and even flac versions of my mixes, and I don't just rely on another walled garden type service.

I don't update that site as frequently as i should.

But i'm planning to add a lot more music to it later this year and maybe some video/visual mixes which I've been working on.

Here's my first website from when I was in college and had no experience in web dev. I still keep it on for nostalgia:

    https://iahmed.me/old_www/

https://www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/

Check out the library too (this started before Google Books, Internet Archive, and Hathitrust were offering scans):

https://library.sciencemadness.org/library/index.html

The site performance has intermittently suffered a lot from badly behaved crawlers, so if it's slow when you visit I apologize in advance. (Edit: current load average on server is 63. Ugh.)

I have another much more active account here but Sciencemadness so easily reveals my IRL identity that I don't mention this site on the other account.

Love my domain, site is pretty average, mainly just a resume if I need.

my personal page :)

https://www.potluria.com

I only have one blog post, it's effectively a host for my resume and there's a lot of work to do to make it nicer. For one, while I'm trying to convey an aesthetic with the three.js-powered background, it is _not_ performant on some devices. Choosing a SPA architecture in order to keep the background seamless is also biting me in the butt. From an SEO perspective, for example, I can't implement proper OpenGraph metadata on the blog posts since crawlers don't execute JS.

I'm happy though. I'm excited to make it a long-lived shrine.

I'll write more this year, I promise

I would share my personal website which I owned for 25+ years, but AWS deregistered it because of $36.

In case you use AWS as a registrar, be warned: If your account is "closed", they will release your domains. In other words, they make them available as if they were expired. Immediately.

Short summary: I consolidated my domains at AWS years ago just to make it easier to manage everything from one spot. Earlier last year, my credit card I used for auto payments didn't have the $18 I pay for monthly costs. I didn't notice, until my email stopped working because my account was "suspended" due to non payment after a couple months.

When AWS suspended the account, they turned off DNS routing which I managed from Route 53, so not only did my websites stop working, so did my email account (which had DNS entries to route to Gmail).

So I went to log in to pay my bill, but in the time since I had last signed in, AWS had added two factor authentication. But since I couldn't get my email, I couldn't log in. Quiz: How does one pay AWS if you can't log into your account? You cant. How do you submit a ticket? Create a new account, submit a ticket about the old account from there (you still can't pay). And then wait. And then send in a notarized form plus forms of identity. It took over a two months to resolve. Meanwhile, my account went from suspended to "closed".

I put that in quotes because when I was finally able to get my log in working, my account was as it was before with all data and setup intact.

Except for all my domains.

They had been deregistered, despite having paid for years more. AWS cancelled and released my domains without my permission. They actively deleted them from the register list, so anyone out there could buy them.

russellbeattie.com was no longer mine. In addition to the other 6 domains I used.

Because of the SEO of my personal blog, some asshole had added my domain to an "add/drop" service, so it was instantly snapped up and is now used as a scam website. They also have access to all my email, which I've used for everything from Apple to Microsoft to Google and more.

So, I'd love to share my blog with you, but Amazon screwed me so badly it's incredible.

tl;dr: Don't use AWS as your registrar.

New year, new website to keep it simple.

https://asukawang.com

I made it purely to easier add LUTs to my photos while on the phone.

Btw, https://nownownow.com/ is a great place to discover people. This project is somewhat similar to what you're doing.

I wrote my website in a DSL I wrote called Web Pipe.

https://github.com/williamcotton/williamcotton.com/blob/webp...

https://github.com/williamcotton/webpipe

Very basic! I did 'vibe-code' a static-site generator though to help build it because I haven't found a simple static site generator that isn't Jekyll.

I still need to map a domain. I used to maintain a personal blog years ago, but let it expire. I just recently created this new one.

I write there about anything which interests me. My site is written in Markdown and an mkfile builds it using Pandoc. There is even an atom feed for my diary entries. Also generated using Pandoc!

I've maintained a very basic homepage for a long time now and I'm using subdomains for projects and other web stuff.

Writing about AI so far, but who knows. Just started it.

https://www.jasonthorsness.com/

My favorite articles to write are on crafts like the below, I just got a Prusa CORE One kit (not put together yet) so next one will probably be something related to that.

Honestly, I hate modern web design. And as someone who grew up with Web 1.0 back in the late 90s, I try to adhere to the KISS approach.

I did discover last night it isn't very mobile friendly, though.

I write about whatever I find interesting, averaging around 4-5 posts a year.

Quarto page, so mostly write in Jupyter notebooks or markdown files.

I post about personal software as well as little TILs I find through the day. I've set up bash aliases for quickly posting so I can do so from my terminal without interrupting my flow.

Notes to myself and recipes!

Personal domain since 2011. Third incarnation, this one in React

Stuff going back some ~20 years, along with photos ("Instagram-like") and videos (mostly my motorsports stuff).

I'm a software architect with 23 years of professional experience, mainly in C#/.NET environments, and I currently lead a development team. Over the years, my focus has shifted from purely technical excellence to the human side of software development: communication, decision-making, responsibility, and sustainable performance. In parallel to my tech career, I trained as a licensed psychological counsellor and supervisor in Austria, Vienna. Today, I work with individuals and teams on topics like leadership, mental load, clarity in roles, burnout prevention, and turning reflection into action, especially in complex, high-responsibility environments such as software teams. My work bridges structured engineering thinking with psychological depth and practical implementation.

AMA!

I just redesigned it last month. I don't have much on there right now, but that should change soon.

Currently just hosts my blog. I mainly like how my name fully fits in the URL.

Just a showcase for my academic mathematics research and some deep learning focused personal projects.

I built it with Quarto, which is fantastic for building a website containing mathematics or coding with no futzing with CSS or so on.

Thank you for making this thread btw. Gonna be quite useful for me as well since I run a few blog related side projects and I might end up contacting quite a few of the people on this thread.

I do some writing then delete it. It's more for personal notes and context. It also front ends a lot of services I self host which are not necessarily linked or crawlable.

https://www.bensontech.dev/

Stuff on CS, Programming, Deep Learning, Physics, Dynamical System, etc.

I have an endless list of blog posts to write and so little time :(

https://www.kulman.sk — personal homepage with projects and links (Slovak).

I probably put a lot of effort into making it look nice. Now that I think about it, it was a waste of time after all...

Trying to blog more frequently with shorter posts!

I try to send semi-regular links of the interesting stuff I read.

Tried multiple times in the past to write regularly but never really sticks.

Not regularly updated, still. I should try to train some habit of writing, maybe.

Not all that interesting, it has been some time since I added anything. But it's a hand-rolled personal site, which must count for something!

just a personal blog really

An attempt to build intuition with interactive articles and experimentation, inspired by explorabl.es

Yes, really.

I should probably get around to making an update or two, but alas it's the dark part of the year and my inspiration is running on fumes.

Click the glyph and select mimikyu

I built a Q&A style blog about cruising, with an initial focus on Disney Cruise Line. We're heading out on our first family cruise, and I had a lot of very specific questions. LLM answers were usually close, but often missed important nuances, so I ended up digging through countless Reddit threads and forum posts to piece together reliable answers.

I started collecting those answers for my own reference, which gradually turned into a public blog. The funny part is that the posts themselves will probably end up as training data for future LLMs, closing the loop.

I will join the chorus of people saying that I need to write more often.

I have written from scratch an SSG and used my website to dogfood it. A lot of it is/was experimenting and learning how web works bottom up, so it is rough around the edges nearly everywhere, but practically everything is my own work - both the website and the way it is built.

I have a lot of ideas on how the website can be made better, but there is always way more things to do than time to actually do the things...

Here is my blog about data analytics/engineering: datamethods.substack.com

I like to do lots of experiments :)

Systems architecture blog. About 10 articles on offline-first design, constraint-driven architecture, and distributed systems thinking. Decades of experience across IoT, infrastructure, and field operations. Just launched, but building thoughtfully. Would appreciate inclusion if it fits your criteria.

I have a blog, a photo gallery, a personal wiki, a comparison of Enchiridion and Tao Te Ching translations, a collection of tsumego pdfs, and a couple other things.

Website: https://thelinksguy.com/

Simple blog, planning to expand a lot this year (as every year).

Inactive: Blog - https://collantes.us/

Electronics stuff. Used to be about FPGAs, recently mostly about old test equipment.

Being doing for 8 years now and still going strong. I try to write at least one blog post every 2 months, but it’s usually more than that.

Occasionally some post makes the front page.

Haven't updated it in ages but I've got a couple ideas in my head, so that might change soon.

Here's my modest contribution:

A few blog posts and a series of AI Tutorials from my time at CMU Robotics.

Was fun to mix 3D in with my personal work

I blog about my journey with music, electronic music production, and single-sided deafness.

I've been writing tutorials for multiple of my sites through the years (bytexd.com, nooblinux.com, and others), but decided recently I just want a more personal site where I mess around. It's still new though.

Also you and others interested perhaps might like to check out the XXIIVV webring: https://github.com/XXIIVV/webring

I have so many things to write about but I rarely ever finish a post.

This would also be a great time to share my RSS app. https://tuvix.app/

My professional stand up comedy website.

Standup comedy open mic list, that I help maintain.

The most basic version, but helps me publish blog posts quickly.

Blog: https://misfra.me/

https://fev.al

I'm mostly writing about dev nowadays, and random tech stuff I've been doing, but I have a bunch of management posts from when I forayed on the dark side.

Mainly electronics, kicad and other nonsense

Blog about Genomics, Type 1 Diabetes, and Life.

Just a portfolio.

on leadership in tech and software development

Recently started, not a lot of stuff here. Planning to add my personal blog here and the apps/tools/games that I build for fun and profit.

mostly about my yearly music picks.

Mainly security research and write ups from vulns I've reported.

My personal blog, mostly coding/tech and GameBoy related posts, usually about one post per month

I write about computer graphics, rendering and Unity! Sometimes other stuff

Not writing as much as I wanted to, but nevertheless it‘s my space on the grand scheme of things.

As the home page says: Thousands of works, hundreds of thousands of pages, hundreds of millions of words. Freely accessible to all.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with the site in the last year-or-so. I’ve had a personal site for well over a decade now, but this is the iteration I like the most. Probably because this is the first time I’ve just built a playground for myself, and not tried to conform to what a site “should” be.

OpenBSD, static articles, microblogging, etc.

Can you find the Easter egg? Hint: "Praetorian"

My personal blog, I normally post about maths and computer science. But sometimes random design things, or bits about linguistics and words.

Old web site with writing projects:

https://meadhbh.hamrick.rocks/

Newer web site with design experiments:

https://www.bi6.us/

Everything else: https://www.robotsprocket.dev

More infrastructure than content, but in principle it’s capable of hosting Go packages, complete with a simple issue tracker and code review system. I use it myself to stream notifications from multiple sources (GitHub and Gerrit).

Mostly just experimenting with things, as a hobby and a way to delve deeper into new tech - probably lots of glitches.

It's a product development portfolio site/playground
