Xan Surnamehere

Designer, Discord server owner, & human

What am I up to at the moment? Inspired by /now; here's my listing

I purchased a VPS (server) and replaced Google Analytics on this site with my own! I broke the background images and navigation functionality for about a day, but now it's fixed. ๐ŸŽ‰ I'm getting closer to my goal of doing 50 consecutive pull-ups by the end of the year. I'm at 14 right now and it's already getting tough! Hopefully I'll be able to achieve this New Year's resolution by increasing the number by 1 each week. ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Fell off a bike late last year, and I'm still not walking the same way as I did before. ๐Ÿ˜• I'm making continuous updates to this site now and I'm continuing to think about remaking it (w/ a fediverse microblog, blog, & more things) with a much more improved layout, like with content on one side with navigation on the other. ๐Ÿค”

About myself & who I am

TL;DR: he/he/they "maleman" (cishet) who likes computers, cats, consuming content, creating content, & interacting with fellow humans.

My name's Xan! โœจ I'm a teenage lover of swaggy software & a big tech enthusiast. I'm a thoughtful person who likes making other laugh, and who usually speaks in a monotone voice. (I am not a robot ๐Ÿ—ฟ) I spend a lot of time chatting with friends on Discord, where I own a couple servers. I also browse YouTube, Twitter, and other platforms. But when I'm not online, I'm at school or taking photos. I use my Google Pixel 6 or a professional camera to take photos, like the ones on this site's homepage and photography.xan.lol. I sometimes use YouTube Music to find songs to listen to and then download, increasing the number of hours (42+ as of April '23) of music on my phone, so I always have something to listen to. I listed a ton of my favorite musicians (and films, games, & content creators) on faves.xan.lol so that I can remember them all. I like eating vegan ice cream and other plant-based foods. I chose the diet/lifestyle after learning about the vast health benefits, even though I don't care for the animals very much. Animal products worsen the planet's health too. My first name Xan comes from the Time Quintet/A Wrinkle in Time series. The last name Surnamehere was just an idea I had, but could be considered important in elements of my lore. It's possible that you learned that I was alive through my Scratch presence. I don't really use the platform anymore, but if you care, you can read a little bit about things I did there.

This website is so swaggy ๐Ÿคฏ

Xan.lol was originally made with no-code site building service Carrd.co, but after having a good time paying for its top teir and not coding much myself, I decided to export my sites. The source code of this one is now available on GitHub (currently with all content copyright myself) and is hosted with Cloudflare Pages. I use Contabo to host my own YunoHost instance, which is connected to a few xan.lol subdomains. I often think about updating this main site to have more content in the form of a microblog (&/or a full blog), integrations with services I use (Last.fm, Discord, etc.), lists of my favorite things, and a better layout.

What's this? The Socio-Political Climate Of IKEA?! No, I don't think so.

Har har har skibidi ohio rizz (I'm so sorry) - I bet you didn't know that 14 thousand pounds of centrifugal waste are poured into our oceans every minute. That's 42 times any number considered acceptable, according to the HOA. I saw a guy change his hair's location relative to his head and another person jump off a car. The group of teens then walked away. Despite the teasing and ridicule they received... Legitimately, no one should ever use a scale of 1 to 10, as in most cases, people will give you a 7. Instead, use a scale of 1 to 7. I couldn't find my source for this, but I know it's true. To the person who stole my Microsoft Office, I will find you. You have my Word. (Oh my god, Microsoft Copilot is so good at writing jokes! -Microsoft Copilot) If you ever feel useless, just remember that there are people who are paid to install turn signals on BMWs. (I'm so sorry, BMW drivers) ๐Ÿš— This subpage/section was artificially generated/written by LLMs by large companies of the likes of Google and Microsoft. Good on them. Iguanas are the only lizards that can swim. (Iguana fact. ๐ŸฆŽ Is it true? Hmmm...) Yeah, I double checked. It's true. ๐ŸฆŽ Oh my god GitHub Copilot is speeding up my HTML code writing so much! screaming emoji: ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Almost like it sees this large string of span<>s and knows what to do with it. ๐Ÿค” Oh my god, it's so good at writing jokes! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ (Why does that emoji look so bad on Windows 11? Better switch to Linux to change emoji fonts.) Speaking of operating systems, I should currently be working in Blender for a school project. I'm not, but I should be. ๐Ÿ˜… Oh, and now GH Copilot is suggesting I use the spoiler tag to hide text. I think I will. ๐Ÿ˜ - wait, wtf? It wrote that... I was going to say thaat ... I forgot actually, but I think it was something about how I'm going to use the spoiler tag to hide the number of hours of music I have on my phone. ๐Ÿ˜ What? It- it wrote that too? scared emoji: ๐Ÿ˜จ This is unreal,. It tries to repeat things already in this HTML file. Like emojis, or just plain sentences. Why, Copilot? (Answer: because it's a machine learning model trained on a lot of code, and it's not perfect.) Oh my lord. Lorde? Like the artist I've heard on the radio? Yeah, I actually liked some of their songs. I should listen to more of their music. No, I should not. I should be working on my school project. But I'm not. And I'm not going to. And I'm not going to use the spoiler tag to hide the number of hours of music I have on my phone. (The AI really wanted me to say that, I guess.) But in reality, I will --- use the spoiler tag to hide the number of hours of music I have on my phone. (I'm so sorry, Copilot. I'm so sorry, GitHub. I'm so sorry, Microsoft. I'm so sorry, LLMs. I'm so sorry, everyone.) No! I will work on my Blender project! Stop, manipulative, evil artificial 'intelligence'!!! ๐Ÿ˜ก You know me too well...
