Personal site and blog. Designed with the goal of being what I want people to see if they were to google me.

My favorite part is my portfolio: https://cprimozic.net/portfolio/

It contains descriptions + screenshots of my significant projects going back to when I first learned programming.

I'm a Philosophy student, and I keep a blog where I post essays on Philosophy and Computer Science- as well as the fun that results in their intersection.

Lately, I've been playing around with the NixOS operating system, and I wrote a guide on Building a Philosophy Workstation with NixOS. In it, I document the process of setting up a computer for the use and practice of Philosophy:

Although I wrote the guide with Philosophy students in mind, it has a surprising amount of overlap with software development and programming-- which will make it useful for Computer Science students as well.

For an example of a more straightforward work on philosophy, I wrote a dialogue on the metaphysics of being, using an analogy with chess and cryptography:

I've been experimenting with a static-site generator for the photography half of my website trying to make the process of getting the photos off my camera and laid out in a cohesive form easier. I've tried to minimize my use of Javascript and lean on modern HTML features to keep my images high quality but fast loading (Primarily by using instead of )

Most posts are laid out by hand like this one: https://danielbeadle.net/photo/Ample-Hills-Bike-Tour.html

Posts are written in Markdown with some custom syntax

  [[
   This is place for a title
   This is a place for a description
   2021-01-02
   DSC_0443.jpg
   full-width-image
  ]]

Two images juxtaposed next to each other (on desktop) can be formatted like this:

  [[
   Image #1 Title | Image  #2 Title
   Image #1 Desc | Image #2 Desc
   2021-01-02 | 2021-01-02
   DSC_0454.jpg|DSC_0465.jpg
   side-by-side|side-by-side
  ]]

This format works well for storing my website in Git, and of course the resulting HTML files can be exported anywhere, but it's much more fun to lay out images visually. I've built a quick and dirty little layout tool for that: https://danielbeadle.net/photo/author/

This tooling isn't in a state to be used by anyone else but if you've been thinking about photo-first blogging please chime in!
