Holiday was just right at the door, I had a pile of unread books and tons of unplayed games on Steam. What did I do instead? Correct, revamping the notebook [re: nickname of this blog] for the I-lost-my-count times 😎. So the reason for another revamping is because I felt the design was too mundane (which I intended to make, since I felt the even previous version was too decorated haha) and didn’t show my true character. So I spent days searching for a true self unique personal website design, but online references mostly only have the classic portfolio layout where it has a big picture of the site owner as the landing page (like how this notebook used to be a few years back) and the rest of the page are standard website layout.
But then, I remembered I saw a fully functioning Windows XP-themed website (too bad I can’t remember the website) and thought, hmm, my old friends know me as the computer expert (even they ask for my help when their Instagram accounts are hacked!), I have a Computer Science degree, and I work in the IT field with Macbook as the daily driver. Probably a Macbook and terminal-themed design suits me well! Thus, I added exploring the CSS to mimic the terminal UI as one of the action items of the ongoing notebook refactor project. The project itself already started around July last year when I decided to be actively writing again.
