colophon ──────── this site is a resto-mod. the look is Windows XP "Luna" — blue title bars, raised 3D bevels, Tahoma and Trebuchet and Courier — but the guts are 2026: it's served from the edge, the colors are authored in OKLCH and read period-correct, and there isn't a single font file shipped over the wire (everything's a system font you already have). a few of the moving parts: · the homepage is one HTML file. inline CSS, inline JS, no build step, no framework. you're meant to be able to read the whole thing — just View Source. · photos are shot on a Fujifilm X-T50 and a Leica, then run through a little pipeline: resized, EXIF-rotated, and encoded twice — AVIF first, with a jpegli JPEG as the fallback. jpegli (Google's encoder, built from source) lands ~25% smaller than the system one at the same quality. see /garage/encoding for the byte counts. · the visitor counter is a Durable Object now, not a spreadsheet cell. the "now playing" list is scraped from a Spotify playlist by a little crawler that signs its own requests. · this page is a Notepad window. you can edit it. it won't save. see the note in flux for why. the whole thing is a slow project — a place to learn how the modern web actually works by dressing it up like the web i grew up on. built in public. always under construction, on purpose. — aadharsh
