Est. reading time: 3 minutes
Or something along the lines. Now that this thing here is live, it's rather hard to actually write something that I don't find ridiculous when I read it again 5 minutes later. But I guess this is just something I have to get used to? We will see 🤷♂️
Anyways, hello and welcome - not sure how you found this place but I'm glad you're here. My name is Christopher and I'm - at the time of this writing - 31 years of age. Went through all the usual and a few unusual things in (Austrian 🏔🦘) life like a few years of school, a couple of months of military service, a bit of university, some skiing, a bit of hiking, moving twice and now I ended up living with my girlfriend in Vienna and work for a small software company called Mimo.
Having a personal page was never really a thing I planned but a couple of months ago I bought this domain and I can't, for the life of me, remember why 🤔
So I thought I'd simply turn this into a reason to finally get going on one.
The stack for this thing is relatively straightforward. I'm using NextJS which is a react framework known for hybrid static & server rendering capabilities and a couple of other nifty things that they describe on their page. It's hosted on Vercel (formerly Now, which I liked way better as a name but oh well), the inventors of Next. Styling is done using TailwindCSS, which is also something I wanted to try out in production for the longest time but never got around to. Finally, we have MDX which enables me to write this small blog using well known markdown.
Oh and for some reason I also really liked this font I found and decided to use it for this project. It's called Ubuntu and it's free.
So what can you expect here? Well, I plan on updating this page as I go, writing interesting things I come across during work or private projects, gaming, trying out new things, drinking a couple of beers with friends, and enhance the whole thing with interesting/note-worthy code snippets (for which I still need to add support 😬). This way I have something I can come back to when I coded myself against the wall again and maybe there's even something here in the future that helps someone else as well.
Until then
Christopher
