Welcome to my exoplanet index!

Here you will find many useful links. Some of them might be broken. I collected them around April 2025, and haven't checked them in several months. I hope that, in the case one does not work, you can find it on archive.org.

I haven't updated this list since around november 2025, I would like to add some Neocities site index at some point with all your cool sites!

Little worm thoughts

Little worm thoughts

The idea behind doing a fast-loading, static webpage, is that I want my work to be accessible to everyone everywhere. So many times have I encountered sites that either don't load properly or take too long for then something to be completely broken and my experience ruined.

If I'm honest, I had never heard about these types of sites, it was through trying to find a good portfolio cms that I realized it was not so out-of-reach to manage my own posts... in markdown!!! What?! How's that even possible? - I basically said right away. But, yes, it is possible, and so much easier than I thought! If you truly want a complete custom experience it might be a steep learning curve, and even for newbie programmers like me, I feel like it just falls too big on me.

I try to find the logic behind things and edit my own code, but then I get lost, try to find people with the same issues and, again, get even more lost because search engines are basically dead in 2025. Oh, man... I had to ask Github Copilot, then Gemini, then I started FINALLY UNDERSTANDING. Even with my current "hatred" for AI as of November 2025.

Well, it worked. I understood more stuff than I thought while I was trying to formulate my questions to AI, and realized I know more than I think and at the same time I don't know anything. In a Google AI course I've recently taken, they say they mapped a whole worm's neural network. I feel like that tiny little worm.

So, yeah, those are my tiny worm thoughts. I'm still working on this, I'll probably make it public as soon as I understand more and not shame myself to infamy!
