My portfolio/archive

March 14, 2021

As the number of my projects started to grow I needed some place to store my recollection of them (Time flies fast and my memory was never to good 😄) and also I wanted to make some kind of portfolio. Most of my work now is on some version control system, but not older stuff so I had to go through all my files/photos to make this page possible. Unfortunately some data of my older work was lost - both in computer memory and in mine. Now I have an archiving obsession so it should not happen in the future 😃.
To build this page I used Django - my favourite web framework. I used it earlier in some project and I use it now at my current job, can't say anything bad about model-template-view pattern and I really like python so it was an obvious choice for me. I did not wanted to use CDN for creating this page, because I would probably spend more time on it and I don't like using mouse too much 😃. Page is hosted on shared web service with cPanel and unfortunately I had a rough start with it - the server for some mysterious reason did not started properly so I had to contact the support 🙊. Thankfully I have a ssh access so I can live with it for now. In the future I will probably just self host to have a more control over the system and save some cash 😬. And of course my page do not track you! All of the content is served staticky and I do not use any js, so it's blistering fast! I intend to keep this it up to date with my current projects and also from time to time add some minor improvements. You can find the source code on my github.
