It has been about 20 years since I maintained a personal website. We'll see if I keep up with this one or not.\nI'm using the Hugo static site generator and a theme called Clarity. It has a bit of a learning curve, so what I've got running is pretty basic.\nBut basic is also a feature. I have maintained a couple of business websites over the years and they were heavy on databases and active scripting. I didn't like how complicated and data-heavy they were for what was ostensibly a very simple site. But I also didn't like having to write every bit of HTML from scratch on my previous personal website every time I wanted to add a post. Hugo may front-load some complexity but once I get everything set up and figured out, it should be pretty easy to maintain - and without PHP and a database and hundreds of kB of mystery meat with every page load. And no cookies!\nI'm using NearlyFreeSpeech.net as my hosting provider. They only charge for actual bandwidth used and actual storage used, from a prepaid dollars bucket. Seems like the ideal use case for a static site.\n","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/blog/2026/new-website/","section":"blog","tags":["website"],"title":"New Website"},{"body":"","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/tags/","section":"tags","tags":null,"title":"Tags"},{"body":"","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/tags/website/","section":"tags","tags":null,"title":"Website"},{"body":"Hi, I'm lorbx (\u0026quot;LOR-bex\u0026quot;) and lorbx.com is my personal website. It hosts my blog and occasionally a project write-up or two.\nMy interests are all over the place including electronics, programming, chemistry, physics, art, biology, and whatever is my latest new obsession of the month. So don't expect any adherence to a theme.\nAs this website is itself one such sudden interest, I wouldn't be surprised if I abandon it for months at a time because I'm on to the next thing.\nOne great thing about a static website is the lack of comment sections :) That said, if you need to contact me for some reason, my email address is autarchex at gmail.\nThis website was built with Hugo static site generator using the Clarity theme.\nIt is hosted by NearlyFreeSpeech.NET.\n","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/about/","section":"","tags":null,"title":"About"},{"body":"Looks like there's nothing here yet.\n","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/resource/books/","section":"resource","tags":null,"title":"Books I Recommend"},{"body":"Looks like there's nothing here yet.\n","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/resource/cockroach-parts/","section":"resource","tags":null,"title":"Cockroach (aka \"jelly bean\") Parts"},{"body":"Looks like there's nothing here yet.\n","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/resource/documents/","section":"resource","tags":null,"title":"Documents \u0026 Files"},{"body":"Looks like there's nothing here yet.\n","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/resource/equipment/","section":"resource","tags":null,"title":"Equipment I Use"},{"body":"Looks like there's nothing here yet.\n","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/resource/links/","section":"resource","tags":null,"title":"Links"},{"body":"Looks like there's nothing here yet.\n","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/resource/online-tools/","section":"resource","tags":null,"title":"Online Tools \u0026 Services"},{"body":"","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/resource/","section":"resource","tags":["index"],"title":"Resources"},{"body":"Looks like there's nothing here yet.\n","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/resource/software/","section":"resource","tags":null,"title":"Software I Use"},{"body":"Looks like there's nothing here yet.\n","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/resource/vendors/","section":"resource","tags":null,"title":"Vendors"},{"body":"","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/project/","section":"project","tags":["index"],"title":"Projects"},{"body":"","link":"https://www.lorbx.com/series/","section":"series","tags":null,"title":"Series"}]
