Hi there, I’m Timo. Nice to see you out here in the depths of the web.

I am a computer science student and a generally techy person, and I have lately begun delving a bit more into the whole indie web thing. After some months of participating rather silently, various other people’s posts (most of which you’ll find on the /links page) inspired me to start my own thing. And here I sit, composing the About page of my very own personal website. It feels incredibly strange, but wonderfully exciting.

Me

Computers are a big part of my life. I study computer science, occasionally work in IT, and I love to play video games with my buddies or on my own. I also very much enjoy working on my side projects whenever I find the time.

Nevertheless, I also have some analogue hobbies, which I cherish just as much as my digital ones (maybe even a bit more). I love playing the piano and listening to rock music. I’m an avid reader of Fantasy and Horror, although I don’t find as much time for reading as I’d like. I also love to go for the occasional walk across the rolling countryside surrounding the small village I call home. There are some truly fantastic views to enjoy around here. But in the end, there is nothing that brings me quite as much joy as good conversation with good friends around a bonfire on a starry night.

This Site

I’m using HUGO to build this site. All code is hosted on GitHub. Go and take a look at it over there, if you want. ;)

There is no HUGO theme in use, but rather custom layout files and custom CSS. The design is not terribly original, though, it’s heavily inspired by Cory’s, Kev’s and Robb’s sites.

The site aims for a minimalistic look, all text uses Source Serif 4, and all colours stem from the onehalfdark colour scheme. And in case you’re asking yourself whether those colours are the ones I always use when configuring anything, you would be correct indeed, my friend.
