I'm already whelmed enough just making this website work at all, I cannot also spend time on making sure it looks good on any mobile device, too. If you came here on a phone or tablet or smartfridge, please imagine it looking much better on PC.
Small Update: I married in September, so at least the most stressful part of 2025 is done. I'll see if I can't make the site more "me" over the next couple weeks months


, what's your's?Is that a lot? Well, it depends. For such a basic and trash website, it sure is not very efficient and I would guess it mainly comes from the size of the images that need to be loaded. Does it make a tangible impact? Not really. I barely get 50-100 views per day and maybe 20-30 "unique visitors". And I would guess most of these are web crawlers (do they need to load less data than real people? I would think so, but have no idea to be honest). Compare that to things like old.reddit.com with 0,09 g CO2e per view or the new reddit.com with 0,35 g CO2e per view.
Yeah, old reddit might produce only around half of the CO2e compared to my site (honestly positively surprised; I knew the old reddit was lightweight but not THAT lightweight), but even old reddit has a whoooole bunch of people who use it. And I don't have to tell you how many people visit the new reddit (if only because they don't know of the superior old.reddit.com, which - as I now know - is not only superior in usability and look but also in their carbon footprint).
I'll just let the basic tutorial stuff exist as a link to a subpage Heeeere. I very briefly had a super basic website like more than a decade ago. Now I wanna have that again, but in maybe a bit less crappy. I got no real clue aside from "nature, games, hurdy gurdy" about what to throw up here.
If you want, you can visit my itch.io page to check out the prototype-and-super-revolutionary games I work on.
The current moonphaseThis is my current instrument, which I bought second-hand. For anyone familiar with luthiers, this one was most likely made by more of a hobbyist, from what the gurdy community could figure out. I still like Count Gurdula very much, even if they have a couple quirks.
The latest song I learned to play okay-ly is a/the(?) Chapelloise(sp.?). I was inspired to learn it because the medieval band we hired for our wedding played it during the group-dance and it's really catchy. You can find one rendition of the Chapelloise here on ThinePipe.
I found this cute painted rock while walking my dogs. It just lay there on the street, so I picked it up and gave it a nicer rest with these purple flowers. Don't worry, whoever put it there in the first place will still be able to find it. It's just a meter or so away from its original spot.
