i finally did it and bought my first domain. i'm going to try and set up the homepage today.

i'm not sure if i want to use github to manage the site. i don't actually know how to do it through github yet. and i don't even really want to make it the long-term solution. but github is intimidating and i'd rather start learning it voluntarily before i'm under pressure from a class in school, because i know it's coming eventually.

does anyone know of any github guides written for absolute noobs?

so instead of the case of redbull (which is still an option!) a friend recommended ghost energy products. the brand as a whole is a bit much for me marketing wise, to the point i wasn't interested. but i trust his judgment. a canister of their "gamer fuel" IS cheaper per serving than redbull is.

the flavor is good, not amazing, and ever so slightly chalky. but a big plus over redbull is that drinking it doesn't suppress my urge to drink water.

actual energy and focus assessment to come later.

i made an account on another instance to have a more focused feed for my academic interests. i gotta say uhhhhhh, the vibes were off over there.

i'm gonna leave that account just so i have the username there, but it all serves as a good reminder just how good and rare the kind of community we have here is.

i guess i'll just make that more focused second account on this instance at some point, and have this one for my personal chatter.
