Francis' Website in The Corner of the Internet

Hello! How is it going? Thank you for visiting my little website in the corner of the Internet. You may have, yet again, noticed that my website looks different. And that's because it does! Welcome to the second redesign, or as I like to call it, version 3.0!

The site is even less horrid to work with, and it ushers in a new design that I think looks absolutely awesome compared to the previous versions. If you're curious, below is a short explanation of what the site looked like in the past.

• Version 1.0: Metro(?)

Probably the longest iteration of the site, since this style had existed 2 years before francisssssssss.gay ever went live. It was flat, but not really? I dunno, thinking about it, I think it was kind of charming, even though it's a little ugly. Also, it wasn't very mobile friendly. Eventually, it got a menu bar and for April Fools, the site went into a very lovely combination of pink and green, with a tinge of Comic Sans.

One thing I don't like about Version 1 is just how clunky everything was to work with. I improved this in Version 2 and to an even higher degree in Version 3.

• Version 2.0: Orange

It's the one that was here right before this version! It was pretty much just orange and white. Originally, it was meant to be black and white, but changed that during development. I definitely went all into the orange by really only having orange and white as the theme, and it's when I started adopting using monospaced fonts. Eventually, Version 2 introduced a gallery for my photography stuff, and for April Fools, the site went into party overdrive.

If I'm being honest, the main thing I don't like about Version 2 is the heroes. They look kinda ugly to me looking back.

• Version 3.0: We're here right now

You're looking at this version right now! I think it's my best work yet, and I'd describe it as kind of a mix between my previous versions, and Aero / Liquid Glass. Heroes have images again (other than the articles and reviews, haven't bothered there but honestly even without they look good), used custom fonts, remade the Gallery and yeah, I really like how it all came out.

Anyway, all that aside, you might have some questions the site, or about me, and here are some answers:

• Why is your site under "francisssssssss.gay"?

I thought it'd be a funny name to have It doesn't have anything to do with my sexuality, whatever it is, but I do support the LGBT community.

• Why does your website look awful on mobile?

It really shouldn't now! I put in a lot of effort to make sure that my site looks good everywhere.

• Do you have ANY idea what you're doing?

No, and to be completely honest with you, I'm wingin' it!

• Are you a furry?

I think you and I both know the answer to that question.

What do I do?

I do a couple of things with technology, including:

• Buying, hoarding, breaking and fixing technology.
• Writing code using technology.
• Enjoying all things retro technology, whether it's reading or watching a video about technology.
• Gaming on the computer. Technology.

They say that every day is a school day. And I entirely agree with that! I enjoy and appreciate every moment where I get to learn more about the thing I am passionate about.

Outside of technology, I've got other interests, like taking walks and listening to music.
