I've considered getting a domain on and off for a few years now, after playing around with my classmate's degrasse.com and finding it pretty fun. After successfully carrying another classmate through her Wharton EMBA Application through relentless and occasionally borderline psychopathic motivation, she bought me a one year domain license. Since I had nothing better to do during the (as of this writing) continual government shutdown besides wait around for permitting (see the Solar Project), I figured I should give it a try.

Daniel, of degrasse.com, kindly gave me the rundown and helped me setup dynamic DNS for remote access of a spare server he had, which we then loaded Apache on for initial configuration. We then landed on WordPress for future work. Now, despite being capable, I very much prefer to stay in the world of hardware if at all possible. Relays and logic gates are my love language, machine code is preferable, assembly and VHDL is acceptable, anything higher level provides unnecessary abstraction and complication.
Needless to say, HTML and PHP are about as far away as you could possibly get, but WordPress Studio seemed like a good IDE so I'm giving it a shot. When, not if, I figure out WebAssembly it will be featured as much as possible.

For now, I will be working on making the skeleton of the website and then attempting to make it live asynchronously. Next I'll attempt to make it so I can make new posts without having to recompile the whole website. At some point I'll also try hosting an email server, but apparently sending out email from a self hosted server is difficult. It sounds like the solution is a SMTP relay with a free tier, because Google deprecated their free tier of email with Workspace.
