Hey you!

I love it when people listen to me yap.

Why this website?

You don't like beating around the bush, do you?

So I used to bullet journal a lot, but it had a lot of issues.

• I keep forgetting about them.
• I hate correcting things.
• My hands starts cramping when I write for too long.
• I can't show that to other people, because of privacy reasons.

I needed something digital that felt like paper. Clicking on buttons don't. Writing in HTML comes very close.

So, a blog?

No, I have Substack for that, and that's way better at handling my ramblings, and comments, and images and all that. This is more of a scratchpad where I can try out different ways to organise my stuff.

Tell me more about yourself then.

• I'm rewatching the show Mr Robot. I even made a post on reddit about it.
• I'm waiting to get my Kindle back from my friend so I can jailbreak it/ put Doestoyevky's Notes From The Underground and read it. This guy says it's really good.
• I'm unemployed at the moment and looking for writing gigs, so drop a mail to pauljoshyk96@gmail.com if you want any help with that.

Haha, I love talking in lists.

What else do you like talking about?

• I like finding cool things on the internet.
• I'm a huge religion nerd.
• Clearly I'm a huge Linux nerd as well. I love Vim. Don't know what that is? I'd love to tell you all about it!
• I'm ADHD and autistic, so I like to talk about neurodivergence in general.
• Occasionally, I get interested about linguistics, but this is all that I know. And yes, Arrival was fucking amazing.
• I like to jam out with singers. Not a huge fan of bollywood music though. Mostly cuz I don't know the lyrics and I feel awkward.
• I can spend hours talking about random YouTube videos.

Why is this site so plain?

Well, I'd like to think of this as my digital scrapbooks. And I think the best scrapbooks are unruled notebooks where you can do whatever you want. Not the kinda ones that follow a particular template.

I think HTML is like the internet's paper. You can create a text file on Notepad, type out what you want to say, save it as a .html file and BAM- You have a website. Easy peasy. Somewhere along the way we forgot about that, and started depending on social media sites.

This is a middle finger to all that.

I'm a huge fan of this site (disclaimer: Lots of swearing), but I got convinced by this guy to do better.

Wow, that was a lot of monologuing! Thanks for hanging out. Let me book an uber back home for you.
