updates & announcements
22 aug 2024
twitchcoded is moving!! you'll be able to find me at twitch.cymru!! i'll keep this version of the site up until i've finished transferring everything to the new site.
13 aug 2024
my health's been worse recently so haven't had the energy to do anything around here. although i have plans!! hoping to move off neocities at some point. i've been looking into eleventy, although it made my head hurt trying to udnerstand it because i'm so fatigued. hopefully going to look into it properly when i feel a bit better, and also getting my own custom domain.
31 jul 2024
i managed to recover my old dreamwidth journal, which i didn't think was possible!! so i've got that back up and running now instead of the static journal page on my site. so, finally there's a new journal entry!!
28 jul 2024
finally got a (rudimentary) journal page back up!! as well as a celtic studies journal on dreamwidth!!!!
also, currently this site is only really viewable on desktop and not amazingly accessible, but i'm hoping to start working on a mobile-/screenreader-friendly version in august after artfight is out of the way and i'll have more time. a screenreader-friendly/flashing-blinkies-free version is something i've been meaning to make for a while. theoretically the current version of the site is supposed to be mobile-friendly, but i'm not amazing at coding, and i don't use templates (except the new journal page) so all the layouts are made from scratch by me and are quite messy. and i can't get the sections to position/order how i'd like them on mobile at all, so at this point i'm just going to combine my ideas for the mobile and accessible versions of the site into a simplified version that works for both requirements.
01 jul 2024
happy artfight day!!
18 jun 2024
my computer slug lino prints and welsh independence lino prints are now available to order on my ko-fi!!
08 jun 2024
new comment section at the bottom, coutesy of this tutorial.
07 jun 2024
hello!! i am now DONE with exams and looking forward to a summer of relaxing, coding, studying languages, reading, and playing with my various music groups!!
i am also on tiktok now, where i'm hoping to use the platform to clear-up common misconceptions and misinformation about celtic studies/nations that i see on that app (and elsewhere on the internet and irl). i'm not particularly a fan of tiktok, but the 2 videos i've made there have done far better than any other celtic-related educational content i've tried to make on other, non-video platforms, so i think i can reach more people there.
my videos are also going to be on my youtube and on my celtic studies site, for those who (understandably) don't like tiktok, or for americans since apparently the app is actually getting banned there now.
14 may 2024
update to the art page..?? i'm a lot happier with how it look now, although it still has a lot of work left to do. i should really be revising ๐ also apologies to the person who e-mailed me like 2 weeks ago, i will answer once i'm done with exams i promise ๐
26 apr 2024
just to let you all know, i'll be done with this year of university in less than a month!! then i'll finally be moving out of university accomodation into a house with some friends, and then it will finally be time for hot webmaster summer ๐
i'm also looking to start selling more art online, and hoping to work up to having a physical stall at a local pride event in 2025!! some of my lino prints will be available to buy on my etsy this summer, although i'll only be shipping to the uk (at least to start with,,,, maybe in the future i'll think about international shipping, but post-brexit shipping rates don't fill me with joy,,,,)
08 apr 2024

28 feb 2024
tweaking things around on the home page again. if i could just figure out how to format the right sidebar properly, without positioning it with like a top margin of -2500, then this layout would be so functional....

25 jan 2024

19 dec 2023
made a few updates to the home page today :) also i'm back home from university for the holidays, so i'm definitely planning on updating the site more over the coming weeks :) i want to at least make some page layouts for my journal, shrines, etc.
12 nov 2023
i've been burnt-out and unwell for the last two weeks, and i'll be home from university for the next week to recover, so i may be able to get a few site updates in :) i tweaked my homepage a bit today. also hoping to get back to work on my mechcommander fansite soon?? i've been busy with my languages site, but i miss my mechcommander site and i'm aware i haven't done any work on it in a while, and i really want to at least update the layout of it.
also i have a bassoon now for the first time in over 4 years, so i'm very excited to get back to playing in a wind band once i'm better and have had some practice :)
20 sep 2023
tweaking my art pages again. i just want to display my art in a way that makes me happy and proud of it.
19 sep 2023
i've started on my new art page, and added all my art stuff back there :) i might change some things around with the pages but it's all there for now at least. next i'm going to be working on making a cool, new, improved journal page and links page. after that, i want to figure out a good way to create pages for all my fan characters, and also for my 11-year-old story about foxes that i've re-started working on again.
16 sep 2023
another new look for the site!!? currently working on getting all the other pages up - i want to have unique looks for each one :) but also i'm moving back into university next week so i'm not sure how much i'll get done :( this site is always just a perpetual work-in-progress i guess.
11 sep 2023
i have another idea of what i want to do with my site layout, and i'm thinking something a bit closer to the previous layout?? i have an idea in my head but i'm not sure how to code it or if it would even look as good as i'm imagining ๐ค
