Guestbook

I miss the good old days of the Internet, so after seeing Manu do the same thing, I decided to create my own guestbook.

I loved a good guestbook back in the day, so figured this would be a fun little feature to add. Please do feel free to sign this guestbook using the form below.

Hi, I have been visiting your website for a year or more (can't recall how I came across it!) and it's now one of several I visit daily. I particularly enjoy your tech posts and am transitioning (with difficulty!) from Windows to macOS. I'm also into hand-coding my own old-fashioned site (and much prefer the "old web" in general). Um, I am not very good at delurking like this, so I'll leave things there!

Kev says...

Thanks for the kind words, Suzy. I went through the pain of migrating from Win to Mac a few years ago, but I'm very happy now, so stick with it. πŸ™ƒ

Happy to see you're building your own site from scratch. It looks great. πŸ‘πŸ»

Stumbled across your site while trying to find out if there's a somewhat nice middle ground between static sites and a full blown CMS. This is after my site wiki backend has apparently broken after many years of neglect and lack of updates. I still don't have an answer, but really enjoyed reliving the good old days of just surfing an interesting website. Keep up the great work!

Kev says...

You should check out Frontmatter for VSCode. I think it’s a good balance between CMS and SSG.

Hi Kev πŸ‘‹πŸΌ

I really like your posts and website design. Very inspiring πŸ”₯

Admittedly, sorry, I copied/plagiarized/stole some elements from your website 🫣. Thanks again 🫰🏼

Kev says...

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, so they say. :-)

I don't think there's a unique site on the web, we're all influenced by other stuff we see, so copy away!

In your post about digital currency, folks are not talking about digital currency as digitizing existing ones. They are talking about a currency that is digital first and physical second. Because current currencies still have to be moved around, whether we see it or not. A digital first currency has also the benefit of not requiring banks or any institutions as the currency itself would be the institution.

The closest thing to this dream so far are cryptocurrencies.

Kev says...

You think banks are physically moving trillions of bank notes around the globe every day? They're not. Currencies are digital first these days.

I get the comment about no bank being required, but like it or not, banks give us stability because they're regulated.

The CSS styling of this website blows me away. It's the "Paul Allen's business card" of stylings. Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has a collapsible menu div. I didn't even know you could set and use CSS variables like that. Impressive. Very nice.

You're far too kind. Thank you so much. ❀️
