Time to ramble

When I first made this site I was excited and got really stuck into making it at first, changing layouts of pages, throwing out ideas and trying new ones every 5 minutes.
Now though, I truly cannot be bothered. Even now as I write this blog post, that’s because I am procrastinating instead of adding content to the pages that need it. I think the fun part was the creation, design and programming of it all. Now I need to actually fill it out and add content, which will consist of mostly talking about myself as a sort of digital CV. Talking about myself sucks. In particular, I’m trying to sell myself and that feels even weirder. I don’t really have a plan for this site outside a vague idea of what I want it to accomplish. I’m just sort of winging it and making it up as I go along.

Do I need a hobbies section? Would it even be worth doing? What about this whole blog thing? It’s pretty cathartic to have I won’t lie. Like posting on Twitter but I won’t get pulled into any arguments.
I had a look at other sites that people in the CompSci industry have made and taken a bit of inspiration from those. I’ve seen people talk about major projects, which I have linked on here and might do a blog post about or talk more in depth about on my University page, but they also talk about minor projects, things outside of coding, who they are as a person. It feels nice to have those things on here, even if ultimately it’s just for me.

At this point I feel like I’m trying to pad it out so it doesn’t feel barren and bare bones, until I complete more side projects that I can add to the list. That is the main focal point of all of this, to show “extracurricular” activities, to practice Python and ML outside of work, and to learn new things. But the irony is that this website itself is a side project and I don’t feel I should move on to another project until this is complete, or at the very least looks complete.
So the projects section will remain scarce until I finally make myself finish this.
