<h1>about me</h1>
<h2 id="caption">hi</h2>
<p><span title="General Kenobi!">Hello there!</span> They call me Will (<?php echo file_get_contents($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/pronouns.txt'); ?>), but I tend to go by deep twisty (more on that later) or some variation of "isopod" or "bathynomus" on the internet. I like to make stuff on the computer, like <a href="https://deeptwisty.bandcamp.com/">music</a>, or <a href="https://deeptwisty.com/art">art</a>, or this website. I've heard rumors calling me such things as "canadian", "autistic", and "incalculably talented". I cannot confirm or deny any of these allegations.</p>
<h2>What's a "deep twisty"?</h2>
<p>"deep twisty" is a pseudonym I came up with to post my music and such things under. At this point it exists largely as a way to compartmentalize my online identity such that I can link my art to people who I might not want seeing all this. It comes from some tweets from an <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20221214182955/https://twitter.com/SubnauticaSCM/status/1095774020446744576">official Subnautica twitter account</a> where they referred to the then-work-in-progress Deep Twisty Bridges biome as just "deep twisty". I thought it sounded funny. Funny enough to brand myself on, apparently.</p>
<p>I go by Will because that's my name and I can't be fucked changing it.</p>
<h2>About the site</h2>
<p>This website is written in pure HTML, CSS, and a tiny bit of Javascript with the server-side stuff done in PHP. It (and everything else I host) is hosted using Nginx on a VPS with 4GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores running Ubuntu Server, with domains registered with <a href="https://porkbun.com/">Porkbun</a>.
<p>You can read about the history of this thing <a href="../blog/posts/deeptwistycom_2nd_anniversary_-_a_history_of_this_bullshit/">here</a>.</p>
<p>I was helped immensely in building this thing by <a href="https://www.w3schools.com/">W3Schools</a>, the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web">MDN Web Docs</a>, the official <a href="https://www.php.net/manual/en/">PHP manual</a>, <a href="https://landchad.net/">LandChad.net</a>, Stack Overflow, and whatever disgusting bottom-feeding SEO leech sites came up first in the search results.</p>
