Hi, another quick update for those who may be passing by.

Last night, while working on some miscellaneous projects of my own, I happened to notice that both me and my website (the place you're reading this on, either that or a feed reader) were nominated for the 2024 Vibey's: One for Best Graphic Designer and another for Best Website (you can guess which ones are for what.)

In the past, I haven't observed any specific awards given to this website, excluding the time in 2021 where one of my friends awarded this website a Millie Award. I seemed to not have acknowledged it since being awarded it (even after the site refresh,) so there's that.

I usually tend to stray away from posting stuff like this, especially considering not everybody wants to hear about this stuff, however I feel as if I have to make an exception. I'll try and keep it brief.

If you've heard the news by now, you're probably as disappointed as I am right now. However, regardless of what the outcome is, I believe that we can manage to get through this together.

Over a year ago, I published version 3.0 of my website, breaking a nearly 2 year streak of no updates. It was released in an “open beta” stage as I wanted to show off what I had been working on and get the basic parts of the site out as-is, rather than keep and release it all in the future.

A few things have changed during the process of the website's development. Aside from the portfolio being consistently populated with content (something I previously couldn't do as frequently), I switched computers and static site generators, I implemented a few features I forgot about previously, and I had to fix a few bugs I either introduced or encountered along the way. There's a bit more, but that are the most relevant.
