Testing things out // 08.03.2024

I've been saying I'll redo the homepage of the site for a really long time now. I'll be honest, when I say that, I had no actual plan. I figured I would just delete the old index.html file and come up with a new one. Is this new style any better? Probably not. Do I care? At this point, I mostly forgot what things used to look like. We'll call this good enough for now.

Like in the past, the pictures up top take you to different sections of the site. I figured it would be "neater" having just one big bar. I'm not sure if I love it but it's gonna stay there for a few days while I sleep on it.

I think the space down here is going to be a rolling "blog" of sorts, I'll just type about whatever and previous posts will rotate out to a section of the site as I find the desire to make new ones.

Something on that "blog" idea, if you were here yesterday you probably saw me talking about this dog that I was giving a temporary shelter and food/water. The weather here is getting really cold again, we had a drop down to ~25F last night and I think tomorrow goes back to ~30F, so I had to find somewhere indoors to get the dude. I would've loved to keep 'em at my place but I would have been an irresponsible pet owner with how much time I'm not home and nobody else here to help the old guy. Coworkers helped me with picking a no-kill shelter known to be good to dogs and I took extended break at work so I could the little guy alongside the bag of dog food I bought and a $100 donation to 'em. He hopped right in the truck, didn't even need me to help 'em, he was all happy to do it. When we got to the shelter, he waddled right in the door and was really excited to see more people/more dogs to play with. I cried for a good three or so hours during/after taking the dude there, I really did like 'em for the bit of time I had 'em. I just have to remember that I was doing as much as I could. He was scared, barking like crazy when he came to my house. He was calm, constantly wagging his tail, and rolling around all happy once I helped 'em out. I couldn't keep 'em but at least I kept 'em from freezing to death. I really hope someone who can show 'em tons of care adopts the guy for whatever time he has left in life, he deserves a better home than the one that dropped him off in the countryside for dead because he was too old or whatever their dumbass reasoning was. I hope whoevever did that gets hit with something for being dicks like that.

I'm gonna make a little drawing of the dude, I called 'em "potato" so it's gonna be called "potato", and I think I'm just gonna start slapping it on circuit boards I make. Anything to honor the little guy. I forgot how much I miss having pets and I really hope that, at some point in the future, I can responsibly have one to call my own.
